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!

Average White Band —
Soul Searching ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sublime mid 70s work from The Average White Band – and a record that really has the group deepening their groove a bit – moving past the heavier funk of their roots, into some mellower grooves that are totally great!

Roy Ayers —
Mystic Voyage ... LP Polydor, 1975. Very Good- ... $13.99
An archetypal album by Roy Ayers – and one that really shows him at the turning point of his sound!

A sweet set of soundtrack funk – from a film named after one of our favorite streets in Chicago!

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.

Booker T & The MGs —
Soul Limbo ... LP Stax, 1968. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Very hip work from Booker T & The MGs – an album that has them standing out under a pier by the ocean on the cover – clearly a long way from their Memphis roots!

Completely sublime! Shuggie Otis first wrote and recorded "Strawberry Letter 23", but it took The Brothers Johnson, and some smooth Quincy Jones production to make it a hit!

Jeffrey Osborne ... LP A&M, 1982. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Early solo work by Jeffrey Osborne – cut hot on the heels of his great albums with LTD! The set's got some nicely jazzy production from George Duke – never too over the top, and never as stiff as that used on some of Osborne's later work in the 80s – just nicely grooving in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Seminal work by one of the biggest gospel crossover stars of the 80s – the mighty mighty David Peaston, a man with a truly god-like voice!
