Brainstorm —
Stormin' ... LP Tabu, 1977. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!

Atomic Dog (special atomic mix, LP version, inst) ... 12-inch Capitol, 1982. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of George Clinton's biggest hits – and probably his last gasp on the charts in a major way. The cut's a logical extension of late 70s P-Funk – with more of the bass-popping 80s grooves and electro touches that Clinton had inspired in so many other funky groups at the time. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Gregg Diamond —
Gregg Diamond's Star Cruiser ... LP Marlin, 1978. Very Good ... $9.99

Isaac Hayes —
For The Sake Of Love ... LP Polydor, 1978. Very Good+ ... $6.99

Heaven & Earth ... LP Mercury, 1978. Very Good ... $9.99
Excellent work from this smooth Chicago vocal group!

A fantastic update of earlier soul duo modes – served up here by two of the most badass soul singers of the 70s!

Don't Go To Strangers ... LP Prestige, 1960. Very Good ... $6.99
Could anyone ever utter a sexier line than "Don't go to strangers, come to me?"
