RCA, 1968. Sealed ... $69.99
A great little album from Nina – mostly recorded live at the Westbury Music Fair, with a hip mix of jazz, soul, and folk that's stretched out in a slightly informal setting that always brings out the best of Nina's vocals. Titles include "The Backlash Blues", "Please Read ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nina Simone —
Sings The Blues ... LP RCA, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nina's not just singing the blues here – she's completely reinventing the sound of the format – by drawing on a long tradition of vocal expression, and infusing it with the hipper, more personally exploratory mode she forged in the 60s!

Soul Train Gang —
Soul Train Gang ... LP Soul Train/RCA, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Although it would be easy to write these guys off as a cheapo product emblazoned with the Soul Train name to cash in on the fame of the TV show, the gang's actually a pretty decent harmony soul act, and they really benefit from strong Norman Harris production on this LP. The ensemble features 2 ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tavares —
New Directions ... LP RCA, 1982. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Tavares chill things out nicely, definitely heading for the "new directions" in the title, and going for more of a mellow sound that was clearly going to help them reach new audiences in the post-disco years.
