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
(Early 70s pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and bumped corneres.)
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! The core of the set features some mid 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hugh Masekela —
I Am Not Afraid ... LP Blue Thumb/Chisa, 1974. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An excellent little record from Hugh Masekela – cut right during that perfect time when he was mixing soul, funk, and just the right amount of jazz to keep things real!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
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! Half the tracks here were done in collaboration with disco maestro Gil Askey – and these numbers are longer tracks that soar and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp.)
Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr —
I Hope We Get To Love In Time ... LP ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
The first album from the team of Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr – and a set that's arguably even more soulful than their work together in The 5th Dimension!

Clyde McPhatter —
Love Ballads ... LP Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good ... $29.99
A great album of mellower ballads that showcase Clyde McPhatter's richly emotional style of singing, one that's on a par with his lead vocal work in The Drifters, and recorded here in a very similar mode! And sure, they're ballads – but they've got a great deep soul edge – as you'll ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red and purple label pressing – nice and clean. Cover has a small cutout hole, but is nice too.)
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes —
Collector's Item – All Their Greatest Hits ... LP Philadelphia International, Early 70s/1976. Very Good+ ... $9.99

(In the shrink with big hype sticker. Includes TSOP inner sleeve.)
Sergio Mendes —
Sergio Mendes (1983) ... LP A&M, 1983. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Upbeat soul from Sergio Mendes – but a record that's still got a Brazilian heart beating underneath!

(Brazil, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Steve Miller Band —
Fly Like An Eagle ... LP Capitol, 1976. Very Good ... $8.99
A masterpiece from the legendary SF rocker Steve Miller – and a perfect summation of the years of blues, soul, funk, and rock he'd been soaking up in the Bay Area scene – served up here with an edge that's still very firmly in place! Miller was already plenty great before this set, but ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some light wear.)
Miracles —
Do It Baby ... LP Motown, 1974. Very Good ... $5.99
It's the mid 70s, and The Miracles have been deserted by Smokey – but fortunately the group was extremely well trained in the harmony department, and this album's just about as good as anything they did with him on Motown!

(Cover has a cutout notch and a corner bend.)
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!

(Cover has a cutout notch, some ring impressions, bent coners, and a light stain at the bottom right corner.)
Denroy Morgan —
I'll Do Anything For You ... LP Becket, 1981. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An album with a bit of a split personality, a combination of slick modern reggae, and crisp 80s groove soul numbers. While the reggae numbers aren't much to write home about, the soul tracks are an outstanding example of the best of the 80s groove style, with horn lines punctuating Morgan's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has edge wear, light ring wear.)
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

Originals —
Down To Love Town ... LP Motown, 1977. Near Mint- ... $14.99
One of the best-remembered albums from the mighty Originals – thanks to a surprisingly strong step into club and disco rhythms!

Pressure Drop ... LP Island, 1975. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Charlie Palmieri —
Latin Bugalu ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of Charlie Palmieri's best records from the 60s! The session is an obscure one-off done for Atlantic in 1968 – and for some reason, the record was never issued as widely as some of Charlie's other sides for smaller labels during the time, making it one of the most hard-to-find chapters ... (Latin, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Peddlers —
Fantastic Peddlers ... LP Fontana (UK), Mid 60s. Very Good ... $7.99
Early work from The Peddlers – the unique British trio who went onto cut some incredible break tracks in their day!

(UK pressing, in a flipback cover.)
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! There's a very churchy sound in the organ, with all the stops open and a very large sound coming out of the speaker – and Billy wails in a manner that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear on the bottom seam with a small split – but is nice otherwise!)
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

Prince —
Dirty Mind ... LP Warner, 1980. Very Good- ... $13.99

Prince —
Purple Rain ... LP Warner, 1984. Very Good- ... $9.99
One of the greatest crossover albums of the 80s – and the record that catapulted Prince very firmly into the mainstream!

Lou Rawls —
Soulin' ... LP Capitol, 1966. Very Good+ ... $5.99
One of the best albums that Lou Rawls cut with the team of HB Barnum and David Axelrod – that incredible duo who made some of his 60s Capitol albums so great!

Some Girls ... LP Rolling Stones, 1978. Very Good+ ... $24.99
