Incognito —
Tribes, Vibes, & Scribes ... CD Verve/Talkin' Loud, 1992. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A stunning little set from Incognito – the group's first full album on Talkin Loud records, and a set that's head and shoulders above their earlier jazz funk from the 80s! The sound here has a real "instant classic" quality – not just because it's dripping with the best ... (Neo Soul, Soul) read more CD

Ten City —
Foundation (with bonus tracks) ... CD Atlantic, 1989. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Four Mints —
Gently Down Your Stream (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Capsoul/Asterisk, 1973. Used Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
An incredible album of harmony soul – easily one of the best you could ever hope to find! The Four Mints were an obscure group, but they sound really wonderful here – just as great as some of the bigger proponents of the genre in the early 70s – with an especially great talent ... read more CD
Essra Mohawk —
Essra ... CD Private Stock/Octave (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
An overlooked album of blue-eyed soul from Essra Mohawk – a singer who seemed to get better as the 70s moved on, and who works here with some nice jazzy touches in the backings! The album's got some great arrangements from Sonny Burke, who also plays keyboards – and the overall ... (Rock, Soul) read more CD
Ernest Ranglin —
Be What You Want To Be ... CD Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A killer blend of soulful elements – the guitar of Jamaican legend Ernest Ranglin and the warmly grooving sound of the Miami scene – served up here with some mighty nice help from King Sporty in the studio! Despite the date of the recording, there's a vibe here that's a lot more like ... (Reggae, Soul) read more CD
Junior Parker —
You Don't Have To Be Black To Love The Blues ... CD Groove Merchant/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A fitting title to this one – as it virtually describes the standard that the blues business was operating on during the early 70s – as artists came out of the shadows and found big audiences on college campuses, rock clubs, and other crossover scenes! The concept is carried to the Nth ... (Blues, Soul) read more CD
Politicians —
Politicians Featuring McKinley Jackson (with bonus tracks) ... CD Hot Wax/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Incredibly messed-up funk – a 70s instrumental classic that's delighted our ears for years! The set's got a cosmic sound that mixes together conventional guitar-based funky with some weird electronic touches at times – going for a fuzzed-out moogy quality that really deepens the groove ... read more CD
Various —
Creamy Soul ... CD Hi Records (Japan), Early 70s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
17 songs from Darryl Carter, James Gadson, Henry Shed, Ernest Mosley, Brenton Wood, Ken Williams, and Southern Fried. CD

James Brown —
Hell ... CD Polydor (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A killer double-length album from James Brown – a smoking set that stands strongly right next to similar packages like Get On The Good Foot and Payback! The album's a bit different than the latter, in that the tracks are mostly shorter, and there's some mellower cuts too – but they ... read more CD
Kool & The Gang —
Live At PJ's (with bonus track) ... CD De-Lite/Universal (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest Kool & The Gang albums ever – a monster live session that almost blows away their studio classics! The groove here is far more freewheeling and complex than some of their singles from the 70s – longer, tripped-out tunes with a definite undercurrent of jazz ... read more CD

Act One (Act 1) —
Act One (plus bonus tracks) ... CD Spring/Southbound (UK), 1974. Used ... $4.99
An obscure soul group, but a great one – equally at home with a fragile harmony tune as they were with more uptempo groovers for the dancefloor! This one and only album from Act One is a perfect illustration of the best two sides of the east coast indie soul scene of the early 70s – ... read more CD
Olatunji —
Drums Of Passion ... CD Columbia, 1960. Used ... $2.99
A classic session of pounding percussion – quite possibly the most successful entry into this earthy genre that hit the recording scene at the end of the 50s! Babatunde Olatunji is joined here by a great assemblage of players – including Montego Joe and Baba Hawthorne Bey on percussion ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more CD
Undisputed Truth —
Undisputed Truth – The Collection ... CD Motown/Spectrum (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... $8.99
A great overview of one of Motown's hippest soul groups! The Undisputed Truth were the brainchild of Norman Whitfield – and the group were the perfect platform for the "right on" soul that Whitfield was starting to craft in Detroit at the end of the 60s. Whitfield mixed the group's ... read more CD

Ruben & The Jets —
For Real ... CD Edsel (UK), 1973. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite Frank Zappa projects ever – an album of mixed rock and soul tracks from Ruben Guevara and his group The Jets – all done in a style that tries to recapture the sound of East LA in the 60s! Some numbers are in a rocking mode, but others hit a mellower harmony style ... (Rock, Soul) read more CD

Five Stairsteps —
First Family Of Soul – Best Of The Five Stairsteps ... CD Buddah, Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... $3.99
Killer work by this fab Chicago soul group – a bunch of young kids, ala The Jackson Five, with sweet soul sound that actually predates the work of Jermaine and Michael and Tito, and which paved the way for countless 70s groups to come! The Five Stairsteps were first discovered by Curtis ... read more CD
Paul Gayten —
Chess King Of New Orleans ... CD Chess, Late 50s. Used ... $6.99
One of the first great R&B artists on the New Orleans scene in the 50s – and one who never got the same sort of fame as some of his contemporaries! Yet that doesn't stop Paul Gayten from being one of the greats – as you'll hear on this excellent collection that brings together a ... read more CD
