Little Richard —
Fabulous Little Richard ... LP Specialty, 1959. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Little Richard doing his much imitated, never bettered thing on the Fabulous Little Richard LP – released near the end of the 50s and featuring emotive r&b numbers he cut in earlier sessions – not all as wild-eyed and fiery as some of his 50s recordings but a soulful thrill! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Darlene Love —
Many Sides Of Love – The Complete Reprise Recordings ... LP Reprise/Real Gone, Mid 60s. Sealed ... $9.99
A great lost chapter in the career of Darlene Love – a soul singer who's maybe known best for her early work with Phil Spector in The Crystals – but who ended up with a long legacy in music, which is partly added to by this collection!

70s soul from Brazil – and a tremendously strong effort from the legendary Tim Maia!

Curtis Mayfield —
Do It All Night ... LP Curtom, 1978. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A clubbier album than usual from Curtis Mayfield – a mid 70s attempt to move onto the dancefloor, but a set that's still got the undeniable Mayfield charm!

McNeal & Niles —
Thrust ... LP Tinker Too/We Are Busy Bodies (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
An incredible bit of electric funk from the hinterlands of Ohio – an obscure album that hardly saw the light of day back in the 70s, making its first national debut in this excellent reissue!

Miracles —
Power Of Music ... LP Tamla, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
The power of music is strong indeed for the Miracles – really opening up here with some wonderful mid 70s harmonies, and working in a smooth California soul style that brings out the best in their vocals!

Eli & The Thirteenth Confession ... LP Columbia, 1968. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Groundbreaking work from Laura Nyro – exactly the kind of record that sums up the unique genius in her music!

Ohio Players —
Mr Mean ... LP Mercury, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
A lesser-known 70s album by The Ohio Players – tunes recorded for the soundtrack of the late blacksploitation film Mr Mean, but also very much in the tight funk format of the group's Mercury work! Tracks are nice and long overall – almost in a stretched-out take on the soundtrack mode, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has minimal wear and is nice overall.)
O'Jays —
Family Reunion ... LP Philadelphia International, 1975. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A great sense of righteousness and groove – the key mix that made the O'Jays so great back in the day – and which really helped put the Philly International enterprise on the map!

Born With A Desire ... LP Numero, Early 1980s. New Copy ... $20.99 22.99

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

Redbone —
Beaded Dreams Through Turquoise Eyes ... LP Epic, 1974. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Despite the Native American theme of the title, the group, and the cover image, the set is mostly a pretty straight mix of soul and rock, mid 70s crossover material with a flanged-out LA kind of appeal. Titles include "Interstate Highway 101", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "Co ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rufus featuring Chaka Khan —
Rags To Rufus ... LP ABC, 1974. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
