"Made me do things I never dreamed of...."

Fans of soul 45s from the 1960s should know about Home of the Groove, The B Side, The A Side, and Funky 16 Corners.

Check out "There's A Break In The Road" by Betty Harris, on Home of the Groove right now. Harris's salacious vocal and the unmistakable drumming of Zigaboo Modeliste carry the tune, but what's up with all that feedback? Bass chords in the chorus? (It was, after all, made in the psychedelic-garage era.)

I understand it was the last record Harris made before a 35-year silence.

How the heck do these records go out of print?
