Aaliyah —
Aaliyah ... CD 
Blackground, 2001. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The final album in the too-short legacy left behind by the legendary Aaliyah – a singer who was taken from us all too soon! As with Sade, there was always a bit of a gap between Aaliyah's albums – and that space really shows just how much she'd grown musically in just a few short years ... read more CD

A funky treasure trove from Apple & The Three Oranges – a group we hardly know at all, but who really blow us away with the cuts on this collection! The groove is plenty hard right from the get-go – the best of the funky 45 underground of the early 70s – which means that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sil Austin —
Sil Austin Plays Pretty For The People ... LP Mercury, 1959. Very Good+ ... $0.99
No honking here, as Sil Austin takes his deeply soulful tenor sax, and turns it to a set of creamy late-nite tracks – all done over some very "pretty" backings, ala the Verve strings work of Ben Webster or Lester Young. Most cuts have voices in with the orchestrations – and ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Roy Ayers —
No Stranger To Love ... LP Polydor, 1979. Very Good- ... $3.99
An oft-overlooked funky soul gem from the incredible Roy Ayers – taking turns with both uptempo material and more smoothed out soul sounds – all done with Roy's trademark jazzy approach to the dancefloor! No Stranger To Love is a sly, and often funky set that deserves to be mentioned ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chuck Berry —
New Juke Box Hits ... LP Chess, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
As with many of the Chuck Berry full LPs for Chess, this one's filled with some great obscure material that always gets eclipsed by Chuck's big hits. Despite the idea that these would be "new jukebox hits", the material has an approach that was probably a bit too hard for radio, but that' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hot Butterfly ... LP Polydor, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Bobby Bland —
Here's The Man ... LP Duke, 1962. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of a handful of amazing early records from Bobby Blue Bland – genre-setting material that was partly blues, partly soul, and still had some of the fuller currents of the earlier R&B years too! Bobby's voice is incredible – one of the most distinct in soul, and up there with ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(NOTE – 80s MCA pressing in an original Duke cover. Vinyl is in great shape, but cover has numerous surface abrasions, aging, split seams and spine held with clear tape, and small stains, large name written across the top, and some tears in back.)

Although Roy Brown had a slightly softer edge than some of his R&B contemporaries – he could definitely rock and wail when he wanted to, as you'll hear on this set! The set does good job of digging through Roy's work from the late 40s and early 50s, pulling together 15 tracks that mix ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Love Byrd ... LP Elektra, 1981. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A sweet funky 80s set from trumpeter Donald Byrd – a record done after his 70s run at Blue Note with producer Larry Mizell, but in a groove that's equally great in its own sort of way!

One thing about The Dells – they were always great!

A funky holy grail – one of the rarest of the rare, and the only album ever cut by funky guitarist Carl "Sherlock" Holmes!

It's A Sin To Be Rich ... CD Fantasy, 1972. Used ... $4.99
Thelma Houston/Motown, 1976. Sealed (pic cover)... $14.99
The a-side hardly needs any introduction from us, an uplifting disco cut, with soaring, string-laden Gamble & Huff production, and the sort of mainstream appeal that's kept it in constant roatation for years and years!

Go All The Way ... LP T Neck, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $4.99
It's the end of the 70s, and the Isleys are still going strong – keeping it real by dropping some of the fake funk of a few years before, and going for a smooth soul sound that would be one of their biggest strengths during the early 80s.

Isley Brothers —
Harvest For The World (with bonus track) ... CD T Neck/Epic, 1976. Used ... $5.99
Fantastic Isleys from the mid 70s!

Rick James —
Street Songs ... LP Gordy, 1981. Very Good+ ... $16.99

One of THE electric blues records of the 60s – a seminal set by Albert King that was probably blasted out of more college dorm rooms than southside juke joints, but which still more than deserves its due!
