Atlantic, 1966. Very Good ... $14.99
Given her start as a rough-hewn child junkie R&B singer, it's hard to believe that Esther's the one singing these beautiful ballads and soul tracks! The album's fantastic, though – and it shows Esther maturing into one of the more fantastic vocalists of her generation. Oliver Nelson, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Kudu, 1975. Very Good+ ... $1.99
Smooth and sophisticated grooving from Esther Phillips – a record that really has her shaking off the rag-tag and rootsy modes of earlier years, and gliding sweetly into the mainstream!

Mercury, 1979. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A sweet groover from Esther Phillips – done in a style that's much more club-oriented than before, but which we find ourselves liking quite a lot!

Kudu, 1974. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Not a live album – as you might think from the title – but a tight batch of tunes that shows the full funk and soul talents of the legendary Esther Phillips!

(Cover is bent a bit at the top left corner.)
Mercury, 1977. Near Mint- ... $2.99 4.99
The cover might be a bit "on the nose" – but the album itself has some really nice tracks, thanks in part to production and arrangements by Pee Wee Ellis, who always managed to get the best out of Esther during the 70s! The groove's got a lot top shelf clubby soul and easygoing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the insert and Mercury inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner and is bent a bit at the edges and bottom left corner.)
Atlantic, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Hard heavy soul from The Wicked Pickett – and virtually a blueprint for the heavier sound of Muscle Shoals to come – as Wilson Pickett was to that soul scene what Otis Redding had been to the Memphis world of Stax Records! These aren't Wilson's first recordings – but as with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo blue & green label pressing. Cover has minimal wear & is nice overall.)
Atlantic, 1967. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Pockets —
Take It On Up ... LP Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A killer blend of soul and funk from Pockets – a group with a very jazzy pedigree in their roots, but who stretch forth here with some great studio help from the Kalimba Productions team of the Earth Wind & Fire empire! The groove is very much in the best 70s EWF mode – tight, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Polydor (UK), 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $11.99 14.99

Planet, 1983. Near Mint- ... $14.99
The album's no breakout for the Pointer Sisters, as the trio were already at the top of the charts when the set was released – but the whole thing does find a great way to keep the grooves coming in the group's lasting relationship with producer Richard Perry! There's plenty of 80s elements ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – BEL1-5410 – still in the shrink with hype sticker. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
RCA, 1985. Near Mint- ... $2.99
The Pointer Sisters in their slick, sultry pop soul mode of the mid 80s – at this point doing the synthesizer soul sound as well as ever – with big hooks and more subtle stylistic flourishes in the production!

Blue Thumb, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99
The fantastic debut of The Pointer Sisters – an album that's a lot deeper than most of their crossover pop from years to come!

Athens Of The North (UK), Early 1980s. Near Mint- ... $19.99 24.99
We're not sure if Arthur Ponder ever really got crowned prince on the Georgia scene of the early 80s – but given the class and quality of the tracks on this set, he definitely comes across like some sort of royalty!

Sussex, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $28.99

Billy Preston —
Most Exciting Organ Ever ... LP Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good- ... $5.99
One of Billy's best, and it's got a hard wailing raw groove that's missing from a lot of his later work!

Billy Preston —
Wildest Organ In Town! ... LP Capitol, 1966. Very Good- ... $8.99
One of Billy's best, and it's got a pretty tight instrumental groove that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's work for the Sue and Veep labels. Billy's organ fronts some groovy and offbeat arrangements by Sly Stone – and although the set list includes a number of late 60s hits, the overall ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prince, Late 70s. Sealed ... $6.99 18.99
Joy Dan's a little-known singer from Chicago – but she confidently takes on a variety of soul hits here – working with arrangements that are somewhat modern, but still earthy enough to live up to the indie soul look of the set! Joy's vocals are a bit shaky at times, but that's the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed original pressing.)
Paisley Park, 1985. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $19.99
A mad bit of psychedelic soul from Prince – a record that sounds better and better over the years, and which stands out from most of his 80s work thanks to some really unique production and songwriting!

A big new chapter for Prince in the 90s – his first set with the New Power Generation, and a record that definitely has him amping up his game for the decade!

Paisley Park, 1990. Near Mint- 2LP ... $69.99 79.99

Purple Rain ... LP Warner, 1984. Very Good- ... $9.99

Raelets/Tangerine, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $34.99
A rare 60s cooker from The Raelets – showing the backing trio in great form away from their boss! The album's got an unusual format – in that 2/3 of the tracks are by the trio of female singers – but a remaining 1/3 is from Ike & Tina Turner – making a surprise ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

The first really major album from Rare Earth – issued on their own self-named subsidiary of Motown!

(80s pressing.)
Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $2.99
One of Lou's excellent Capitol sessions produced by David Axelrod! The record's not an outwardly funky one, but Axe gives the set a nice loping groove on the best tracks – the sound that he brought to his best work with Rawls, and which really put him over the top back in the 60s.

Capitol, 1968. Very Good- ... $5.99
One of the beautiful records from Lou's late 60's years at Capitol, and one of the ones he made with the great team of H.B. Barnum and David Axelrod.

A great solo moment from Eugene Record – the singer who'd rose to fame with The Chi-Lites, and who still sounds pretty darn great here on his own!

(Cover has a faint name in pen.)
Warner, 1978. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A nicely understated set from the great Eugene Record – one that really has him moving forward in a mature, masculine role after his work with The Chi-Lites!

Redbone —
Beaded Dreams Through Turquoise Eyes ... LP Epic, 1974. Near Mint- ... $9.99

(Orange label pressing.)
Volt, 1968. Very Good- ... $9.99
A very important crossover soul album – a huge hit for Otis Redding that was released after his tragic death in December 1967 – but it's also hard to say if it would have had the impact it did had Redding not passed while the LP was still in production.

(Light blue label pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A smoking live set from Jimmy Reed – filled with the kind of rocking, rollicking numbers that made his bluesy groove an undeniable influence on the UK scene of the 60s!

Verve, 1967. Very Good ... $8.99

JVC (Japan), 1982/1983. Near Mint- ... $9.99
On The Line has a style that's a bit keyboard-heavy – in a way that seems to borrow from some of the 80s soundtrack work of the time, and which is clearly a nod to the success of the Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny sound that was breaking big on ECM.

(Japanese Direct Disk pressing – VIDC-5. Includes the obi and insert.)
Elektra, 1981. Very Good+ ... $4.99

Tamla, 1969. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A great one by The Miracles! Smokey and the group are clearly pushing the envelope here – stretching out for a deeper harmony sound, moving towards some of the smoother styles they'd use a bit more in the 70s.

Motown, 1983. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of the strangest acts to come from Motown in the early 80s – and almost more of a new wave record than a soul one!
