Ashford & Simpson —
Is It Still Good To Ya ... LP Warner, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Ashford & Simpson don't need to ask at this point – their in full 70s soul stride here, and it's not good, it's great! By this point in the late 70s, Nick and Valerie are firmly holding the foreground as artists in their own right after many years of acting as songwriters for other soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ashford & Simpson —
So So Satisfied ... LP Warner, 1977. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Sublimely satisfying work from Ashford & Simpson – a stone killer from the height of their late 70s glory days on Warner Brothers!

Ashford & Simpson —
Stay Free ... LP Warner, 1979. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Great stuff! From Motown songwriters to world-class superstars, the trip was a well-deserved one for Valerie Simpson and Nick Ashford – and this album's perhaps their crowning achievement in sophisticated club soul!

Anita Baker —
Songstress ... LP Beverly Glen, 1983. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
From the female singer in the obscure group Chapter 8, Anita went onto become one of the biggest selling soul music acts during the 80s – and this album's her first effort as a solo act.

Bee Gees, Tavares, Yvonne Elliman, & Others —
Saturday Night Fever ... LP RSO, 1977. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $6.99
Yes, it was a mega-hit – and yes, it was one of those records that everyone who lived through the 70s seemed to own at one time – but after all these decades, you can't deny the power of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack – especially for the way that it mixed club soul classics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

George Benson —
Give Me The Night ... LP Qwest/Warner, 1980. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Yipes! This one made everyone a bucket of money – especially Quincy Jones, whose new Qwest imprint the record was one of the first to grace. George has come a long way from his roots with Jack McDuff here – but in a way that kind of has us impressed, as he's grooving away slickly on ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(80s issue. Cover has a cutout notch and is bent a bit at the top right corner.)
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

Chuck Berry —
St Louis To Liverpool ... LP Chess, 1964. Near Mint- ... $19.99

Bionic Boogie —
Hot Butterfly ... LP Polydor, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A dancefloor classic! The album's the second by Gregg Diamond's Bionic Boogie, and head and shoulders above the rest – a sublime blend of soul and club that's hardly been matched again! Diamond manages to make things groove, but never loses sight of the soulful styles that make the record ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

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.)
David Bowie —
Changes One ... LP RCA, 1976. Very Good ... $14.99
Almost a "greatest hit" of "greatest hits" collection – given the importance of this album to the David Bowie catalog!

Seize The Time (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Vault/Real Gone, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 36.99
A righteous treasure from the end of the 60s – an album of vocal tracks recorded by the Minister Of Information for the Black Panther Party, set to backings from the legendary jazz visionary Horace Tapscott! Elaine Brown's less of a soul singer than a powerful speaker who delivers the lyrics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Roy Brown —
Good Rocking Tonight – Legendary Recordings Vol 2 – 1947 to 1954 ... LP Route 66 (Sweden), Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
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
Roy Brown —

Jerry Butler —
Ice On Ice ... LP Mercury, 1969. Very Good ... $5.99
Killer stuff – as Jerry's getting the full early Philly treatment here, with arrangements by Thom Bell, Bobby Martin, and Roland Chambers, and production by a young Gamble and Huff! The sound isn't nearly as icy as the old Vee Jay days – but that's fine with us, as Jerry is nice and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Jerry Butler —
It All Comes Out In My Song ... LP Motown, 1977. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Proof that Jerry Butler could always be great, no matter what the setting – and that even an overlooked album like this can still be pretty darn great! The album's got less of a focus than Jerry's earlier Mercury work or later sides for Philly – but it's also got a subtle and sometimes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has ring & edge wear and a cutout notch.)
Donald Byrd & 125th Street, NYC —
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! Isaac Hayes is the producer on the set, and also plays a lot of Fender Rhodes, plus piano, vibes, and ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Textured cover has a drip stain and light surface wear.)
Bobby Caldwell —
Bobby Caldwell ... LP Clouds/Be With (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $35.99 39.99
The legendary debut of Bobby Caldwell – a blue-eyed soul singer who borrowed just the right amounts from AOR and R&B! Bobby's got a voice that's really great, and wrapped up warmly amidst keyboards and larger arrangements that all come across with a very cool compressed style – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chairmen Of The Board —
In Session ... LP Invictus, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99
A killer album by the Chairmen of the Board! The record's their second – and although the "In Session" title, photos on the front, and liner notes all make it appear to be a live album, it's actually a studio session, with the same great Holland-Dozier-Holland production as the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Chi-Lites —
Heavenly Body ... LP Chi Sound, 1980. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Really sweet later work from The Chi Lites – proof that the group were still going strong long after their initial chart hits!

(Cover has minimal wear, cutout notch.)
Tom Clay —
What The World Needs Now Is Love ... LP MoWest, 1971. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A pretty compelling record issued on Motown's MoWest subsidiary. Tom Clay creates these groovy tracks that mix popular soul instrumentals (arranged by Gene Page and Artie Butler) with recitations that have a very righteous political feel. The single on the record, "What The World Needs ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, aging, and is bent a bit with staple holes at the top left corner.)
Cymande —
Arrival ... LP Paul Winley, 1981. Very Good+ ... $29.99
The last album ever cut by the group Cymande – done years after their classic first 3 records, and with a groove that's quite different – but also extremely nice! The sound here is much more in an ensemble funk mode than the group's earlier dubby work – with an approach that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Reissue pressing.)
Cymande —
Second Time Round (180 gram pressing) ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 27.99
Heavy bass, tight percussion, and a wonderfully trippy groove – the stunning second album from Cymande, and one of our funk favorites from the 70s!

Betty Davis —
Betty Davis (clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Just Sunshine/Light In The Attic, 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99 31.99
Betty Davis was one of the nastiest ladies in 70s soul – and this is one of her greatest albums – a killer batch of funky tracks all the way through! Betty has a sound like nobody else – and she takes heavy drums, throbbing bass, and ripping guitars – all as a hard and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(2023 clear vinyl pressing.)
Betty Davis —
Nasty Gal (pink yellow vinyl pressing) ... LP Island/Light In The Attic, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 32.99
The biggest-label release ever cut by 70s funk legend Betty Davis – but a set that's every bit as hard and heavy as the indie dates that preceded it! Davis is at the top of her form here – bad-stepping amidst the heavy drums and freaked-out guitars that easily made her one of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Deee-Lite —
World Clique ... LP Elektra/Get On Down, 1990. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
There's never been a better bit of pop throwaway dancefloor fodder ever!

Bo Diddley —
16 All Time Greatest Hits ... LP Checker, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
If it were up to us, every song Bo recorded would have been a hit – because they're all so great! This album does a pretty good job of sorting out the best numbers, though – picking 16 tracks from his all-great albums for Chess – with a focus on the tightest and most groove-heavy ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s checker piece label pressing. Cover has some surface wear and aging.)
Bo Diddley —
Got My Own Bag Of Tricks ... LP Chess, Late 50s/1960s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
A nice little collection of Bo Diddley's earlier work for Chess – put together in the early 70s, when Bo was in his Black Gladiator phase, as pictured on the cover – but featuring the rawer, rougher grooves of his initial recordings in the late 50s and early 60s! The Bo Diddley groove ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Foundations —
Digging The Foundations ... LP Uni, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $13.99
A great second album from The Foundations – one that's got the group working with a really strong batch of unusual material, and sounding every bit as great as before with their new lead singer Colin Young! At times, there's maybe even more of a soul vibe here than before – and Young's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In the Unipak cover, with a small cutout hole and price sticker remnants.)
Foxy —
Get Off ... LP Dash, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A pretty catchy bit of Miami club from the late 70s! The group's got a strong acoustic sound underpinning their grooves – with some excellent percussion underneath the best tracks, and some vocals that almost hit a scatting harmony range that reminds us of Side Effect or the LA Boppers. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later pressing with flying geese labels. Cover has some edge wear and light marks from sticker and index label removal.)
Full Moon —
Full Moon (1972) ... LP Douglas, 1972. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Rare bit of lost rocky funk, recorded by Alan Douglas for his short-lived 70s label.

(Cover has some surface wear.)
Funkadelic —
Maggot Brain ... LP Westbound, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $239.99
Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever! The set moves past the simple fuzzy style of the group's debut, and the overly-stoned sound of Free Your Mind – and rockets into a heady funk style that's filled with sly social commentary and an incredibly dark ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available (Original Westbound/Janus pressing in a Unipak gatefold cover. Cover has some light wear, and a bit more on the spine – vinyl is nice.)

Love Tracks ... LP Polydor, 1979. Very Good ... $3.99
THE lasting classic from Gloria Gaynor – the record that contains her tremendous hit "I Will Survive", and a great batch of disco grooves overall!

(Cover has some light wear.)
Lloyd Glenn —
After Hours (Aladdin) ... LP Aladdin (France), Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Classic work from Texas R&B pianist Lloyd Glenn – a great talent with a heavy-handed style that cut some sublime mellow groovers during the 50s.

(Cover has some ringwear and a promo stamp.)
Donny Hathaway —
Donny Hathaway Collection (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Atlantic, Early 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $36.99 39.99
Pure genius from Donny Hathaway – a 70s soul giant who burned brightly for just a few years, then was taken away from us all too soon! In our book, Donny is every bit a giant of the decade as Marvin Gaye or Curtis Mayfield – and you'll hear work here that easily matches the best of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Heaven 17 —
How Men Are ... LP Arista/Virgin, 1984. Very Good+ ... $5.99
The last moment of greatness from Heaven 17 – and a set that continues the trend towards more soulful expression the group began with their previous record! This time around, the production is warmly touched with many soul-based elements that nicely offset the colder electro pop of their ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a hype sticker, some ring & edge wear, cut corner.)
Howlin Wolf —
Live & Cookin At Alice's Revisited ... LP Chess, 1972. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Down home early 70s blues from Howlin Wolf – not as funky as some of the other blues albums on Chess at the time, but with a nice rough and ready edge that really lives up to the legacy of Howlin Wolf!

(White label promo – a nice copy!)
Howlin Wolf —
More Real Folk Blues ... LP Chess, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A much earlier set of tracks than the first volume of Real Folk Blues from Howlin Wolf – mostly material recorded in the mid 50s, both in Chicago and Memphis – all with a really nitty gritty sort of feel! There's a rough and rootsy mode going on here – one that has Wolf's raspy ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hunt's Determination —
This Is Determination Problems (original pressing) ... LP Ear Wax/Wonderland, 1978. Sealed ... $8.99
An obscure little funky group from Flint, Michigan, one with a tight ensemble sound that's very much in the Earth Wind & Fire mode – complete with a really great horn section, plenty of bass-heavy grooves a the bottom, and a relatively spiritual feel that comes through strongly on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Impressions & Jerry Butler —
Vintage Years ... LP Sire, Mid 60s/1976. Sealed 2LP Gatefold ... $7.99
Nifty 2LP set that brings together a motherlode of the Impressions' best material from their ABC years – plus some of Jerry Butler's nice solo material for Mercury from the same time, and a few Curtis cuts from the early 70s.

Incredible Bongo Band —
Bongo Rock (180 gram deluxe 40th anniversary edition) ... LP Pride/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98
A landmark album that is perhaps the single most influential beat source in hip hop!

Michael Jackson —
Thriller ... LP Epic, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
Arguably the last true moment of genius in Michael Jackson's career – a record that sold a bazillion copies around the world – and for plenty good reason! Michael's still working here with Quincy Jones – in territory that steps nicely from the Off The Wall groove, into territory ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. A nice copy.)
Etta James —
At Last (Original Chess Masters) ... LP Chess/MCA, 1960. Near Mint- ... $39.99
An amazing step forward for the young Etta James – a singer who was delivering a raw, shouting form of R&B just a few years before – but who here ascends into soul music heaven with her famous work on the album! The title cut is the stuff of legend – played and played, again ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Kool & The Gang —
Emergency ... LP De-Lite, 1984. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet 80s sounds from the legendary Kool & The Gang – one of the key classics from the second chapter of the group – when their lineup and sound were a lot leaner than before, and they managed to cross over big to a much wider audience than before!

Blue Lights ... LP Aura, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An excellent early album by organ player Billy Larkin, and his first version of the Delegates, which included drummer Mel Brown.

Cathedrals ... LP Pyramid, 1976. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A classic marriage of disco and progressive rock – served up in this mini "opera" of sorts by DC LaRue!

Ghetto Suite ... LP Kilmarnock/Tidal Waves, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
One of the coolest records ever issued on Galt MacDermot's legendary Kilmarnock label – a selection of songs and poems by Harlem school children, set to music by Galt, and sung by vocalist Angela Ortega!

Herbie Mann —
Surprises ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A record that's full of many surprises – one of which is the sweet lead vocals of Cissy Houston!

Maxayn ... LP Capricorn, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $36.99

There's No Place Like America Today (turquoise vinyl pressing) ... LP Curtom/Rhino, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 26.99
A great album by Curtis Mayfield – filled with some excellent lesser-known gems! There's No Place Like America was Curtis' scathing testament to the State Of The Union – and it's got a hip political tone that's right up there with the best of his early 70s songwriting – perhaps ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
MFSB —
Universal Love ... LP Philadelphia International, 1975. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $7.99
Killer stuff from this legendary Philly soul instrumental combo – with funky soul horns, unstoppable dancefloor ready rhythms and those soul-stirring strings – and right up there with their best ever!

Roy Milton —
Great Roy Milton – Roots Of Rock Vol 1 ... LP Kent, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
An obscure late 60s session that has R&B genius Roy Milton fronting a small group led by Johnny Otis, and featuring a young Shuggie Otis on guitar! The set's packaged in a "roots of rock" sleeve to cash in on the kids, but it's a pretty nice little set with a stoner R&B sound. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Purple label United pressing.)
Melba Moore —
This Is It ... LP Buddah, 1976. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A real stormer from Melba Moore – brilliantly-arranged dancefloor soul with beautiful lead vocals by Melba – on one of her best records of the 70s!

This P*ssy Belongs To Me – The Second Rudy Ray Moore Album ... LP Kent, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion!

(Green label Comedian Series pressing. Cover has light ring impression.)
Mountain —
Nantucket Sleighride ... LP Windfall, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99
Solid jamming from Mountain – one of the tightest guitar-based groups of their day, and hard rockers that could serve up a nice dose of soul! Tunes have a great mix of tight rhythms and fierce guitars – a bit dated at times, but with some nice production overall by Felix Pappalardi. ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the booklet and photos! Cover has surface and edge wear.)
Originals —
California Sunset ... LP Motown, 1975. Very Good+ ... $5.99
One of our favorite albums by The Originals – and one of their most coherent albums on Motown! The record was produced by Lamont Dozier, who also wrote all the songs on the album for the group – and it's kind of a mix of Dozier's strident 70s update of the 60s Motown groove (which he'd ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has ring wear, edge wear, and unglued seams.)
Panache —
This Is Panache ... LP Roche Records, 1979. Very Good+ ... $39.99
A sweet and righteous 70s soul groover – the one and only album from the team of Freddie and Debra Thompson, a musical duo who really make things happen on their own!

Stand Up & Testify! ... LP Solid Smoke, 1950s. Very Good ... $6.99
Pointer Sisters —
Break Out ... LP Planet, 1983. Near Mint- ... $9.99
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

Mr Personality's 15 Hits ... LP ABC, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $5.99

Prince —
3121 ... LP Universal, 2006. Sealed 2LP ... $29.99
A strong effort from the mid 00s revitalized Prince – one that doesn't approach the greatness of the best material, but a graceful and consistent gem nonetheless! As it was done on his big ol' comeback album, Musicology, Prince takes strides to revisit his classic styles on the different ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prince —
Gold Experience (EU pressing) ... LP Warner, 1995. Near Mint- 2LP ... $399.99
A great return to form for Prince – even though at the time, we all had to refer to him with an unpronounceable symbol! There's a lean, funky vibe to most of the record – almost a step back to the unified group approach of his mid 80s classics – and even though a few sonic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prince —
Welcome 2 America ... LP NPG/Legacy, 2010. Sealed 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
A really fantastic album from Prince – recorded in 2010, and unreleased at the time – but clearly one of the greatest things he gave us in the final decade of his life! This isn't uncooked demo material, or under-thought studio tracks – and instead, the whole thing is a fully-form ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Asha Puthli —
Asha Puthli ... LP CBS/Mr Bongo (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.99
A fantastic bit of female funk from the 70s – and a set that was recorded in Germany by a very exotic singer!

Asha Puthli —
Devil Is Loose ... LP CBS/Mr Bongo (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.99
A masterpiece of spacey soul by the great Asha Puthli – a really unique 70s singer who has this incredible vocal range, and a great way of using it amidst slinkily soulful tracks – a bit like Minnie Riperton, or maybe like some of the Sylvia Striplin work with Roy Ayers! The sound here ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lou Rawls —
Black & Blue ... LP Capitol, 1962. Very Good ... $6.99
Quite possibly the first truly great Lou Rawls album for Capitol – an all-out swinging jazz session done with arrangements by Onzy Matthews, in a mode that firmly helped put the Lou Rawls sound on the map! The tracks are mostly older numbers from a long lineage of blues and R&B – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lou Rawls —
She's Gone ... LP Bell, 1974. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A great little Lou Rawls album from his short-lived time at Bell Records – and like most of his smaller stints at 70s labels, work that really stands out from the rest! The album was cut in LA with smooth production from Norman Ratner – but the overall sound is still pretty darn hip ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Promo. Cover has a small cutout hole.)
Ray & His Court —
Ray & His Court ... LP Sound Triangle/On High, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 34.99
Some of the tightest funky 70s jamming ever – a lost gem from Ray & His Musical Court, a group that perfectly fuses JB/Horny Horns funk with beat-heavy Afro-Cuban groove! Ray and the group are one of the more obscure funky combos of the era, and it's a damn shame, because the group's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Surrender ... LP Motown, 1971. Very Good+ ... $5.99

(Cover has ring & edge wear and a cutout notch.)
Rufus —
Party Til You're Broke ... LP MCA, 1981. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Great later work from Rufus – working here without Chaka Khan on vocals, but sounding even jazzier as a result!

Segments of Time —
Segments Of Time ... LP Sussex, 1972. Near Mint- ... $29.99
The only album we've ever seen from this hip Detroit group of the 70s – a harmony soul act who mix sweet vocal styles with a more badass approach – very much at the level of the best Philly or New Jersey acts of the time! Production gets funky and fuzzy at times – with a very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Shades Of Brown —
Shades Of Brown EP ... LP Albina Music Trust, Late 1960s. New Copy ... $19.99 24.99
Fantastic funk from a totally obscure group – Portland's Shades Of Brown, a combo not to be confused with the Chicago group who recorded for Chess Records – but one who share a very similar sense of righteous soul!

A nice little collection of Dee Dee Sharp's early 60s sides for the Cameo label – issued here in a well-done UK package – noteworthy because it's one of the few legit reissues of Dee Dee's work over the years, issued for the UK Northern Soul market, who were always huge fans of her work! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marlena Shaw —
Sweet Beginnings ... LP Columbia, 1977. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!

Labi Siffre —
Remember My Song ... LP EMI/Mr Bongo (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99
Easily the best-remembered album by Labi Siffre – thanks to some well-used sample tracks over the years! But over and above the fame of the funky tunes "The Vulture" and "I Got The", the record's a key part of Siffre's 70s catalog – a record that's as great for its ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak) —
Evening With Silk Sonic ... LP Atlantic, 2021. New Copy ... $25.99 28.99
Two contemporary soul giants – coming together in a set that's even better as a whole than their work apart!
