Free & Easy – The Complete Works 1970 to 1975 ... LP Now Again, Early 70s. Near Mint- 2LP ... $24.99
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! The groove is plenty hard right from the get-go – the best of the funky 45 underground of the early 70s – which means that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sil Austin —
Sil Austin Plays Pretty For The People ... LP Mercury, 1959. Very Good+ ... $0.99
No honking here, as Sil Austin takes his deeply soulful tenor sax, and turns it to a set of creamy late-nite tracks – all done over some very "pretty" backings, ala the Verve strings work of Ben Webster or Lester Young. Most cuts have voices in with the orchestrations – and ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing. Cover has edge wear.)
Roy Ayers —
No Stranger To Love ... LP Polydor, 1979. Very Good- ... $3.99
An oft-overlooked funky soul gem from the incredible Roy Ayers – taking turns with both uptempo material and more smoothed out soul sounds – all done with Roy's trademark jazzy approach to the dancefloor! No Stranger To Love is a sly, and often funky set that deserves to be mentioned ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bee Gees, Tavares, Yvonne Elliman, & Others —
Saturday Night Fever ... LP RSO, 1977. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Yes, it was a mega-hit – and yes, it was one of those records that everyone who lived through the 70s seemed to own at one time – but after all these decades, you can't deny the power of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack – especially for the way that it mixed club soul classics ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

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. Despite the idea that these would be "new jukebox hits", the material has an approach that was probably a bit too hard for radio, but that' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bionic Boogie —
Hot Butterfly ... LP Polydor, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A dancefloor classic! The album's the second by Gregg Diamond's Bionic Boogie, and head and shoulders above the rest – a sublime blend of soul and club that's hardly been matched again! Diamond manages to make things groove, but never loses sight of the soulful styles that make the record ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has a cut corner, some ring and edge wear, and lightly bent corners.)
Bobby Bland —
Here's The Man ... LP Duke, 1962. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of a handful of amazing early records from Bobby Blue Bland – genre-setting material that was partly blues, partly soul, and still had some of the fuller currents of the earlier R&B years too! Bobby's voice is incredible – one of the most distinct in soul, and up there with ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(NOTE – 80s MCA pressing in an original Duke cover. Vinyl is in great shape, but cover has numerous surface abrasions, aging, split seams and spine held with clear tape, and small stains, large name written across the top, and some tears in back.)
David Bowie —
Changes One ... LP RCA, 1976. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Almost a "greatest hit" of "greatest hits" collection – given the importance of this album to the David Bowie catalog! Sure, it compiles tracks from other releases – but it also was the album that gave the world the killer cut "John I'm Only Dancing" ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

James Brown —
Unbeatable James Brown – 16 Hits ... LP King, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $19.99
One of those excellent King albums from James that features a wide range of tracks, done in a wide range of styles – including some wonderful obscure numbers that go way past the "hits" promised in the title. The groove runs from sad ballad soul to heavy instrumentals – and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label King pressing. Note: Vinyl has a short hairline crack on the first track on each side – but is otherwise nice. Cover has light wear, and masking tape on the top and bottom seams.)
Roy Brown —
Good Rocking Tonight – Legendary Recordings Vol 2 – 1947 to 1954 ... LP Route 66 (Sweden), Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Although Roy Brown had a slightly softer edge than some of his R&B contemporaries – he could definitely rock and wail when he wanted to, as you'll hear on this set! The set does good job of digging through Roy's work from the late 40s and early 50s, pulling together 15 tracks that mix ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Roy Brown —
Hard Luck Blues ... LP King, Late 40s/Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $6.99

Killer stuff – as Jerry's getting the full early Philly treatment here, with arrangements by Thom Bell, Bobby Martin, and Roland Chambers, and production by a young Gamble and Huff!

Jerry Butler —
Nothing Says I Love You Like I Love You ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
After working with Gamble & Huff on his big hits for Mercury in the late 60s, Jerry returned to work with the pair in the late 70s on their own Philly International label – stepping out with the same sweet groove that the Philly sound had brought to Lou Rawls, in a way that helped Butler ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Donald Byrd & 125th Street, NYC —
Love Byrd ... LP Elektra, 1981. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A sweet funky 80s set from trumpeter Donald Byrd – a record done after his 70s run at Blue Note with producer Larry Mizell, but in a groove that's equally great in its own sort of way!

Chairmen Of The Board —
In Session ... LP Invictus, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99
A killer album by the Chairmen of the Board! The record's their second – and although the "In Session" title, photos on the front, and liner notes all make it appear to be a live album, it's actually a studio session, with the same great Holland-Dozier-Holland production as the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jungle Fever ... LP Polydor, 1970. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A mad mix of Latin and funky rhythms – a 70s classic from the Belgian group Chakachas!

Chi-Lites —
Heavenly Body ... LP Chi Sound, 1980. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Really sweet later work from The Chi Lites – proof that the group were still going strong long after their initial chart hits!

(Cover has minimal wear, cutout notch.)
Tom Clay —
What The World Needs Now Is Love ... LP MoWest, 1971. Near Mint- ... $4.99

Invitation ... LP Arista, 1979. Very Good+ ... $14.99

Cymande —
Arrival ... LP Paul Winley, 1981. Very Good+ ... $29.99
The last album ever cut by the group Cymande – done years after their classic first 3 records, and with a groove that's quite different – but also extremely nice!

Dells —
New Beginnings ... LP ABC, 1978. Very Good+ ... $8.99

16 All Time Greatest Hits ... LP Checker, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
If it were up to us, every song Bo recorded would have been a hit – because they're all so great!

Carl Douglas —
Kung Fu Fighting – And Other Great Love Songs ... LP 20th Century, 1976. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!

Digging The Foundations ... LP Uni, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $13.99

Foxy —
Get Off ... LP Dash, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A pretty catchy bit of Miami club from the late 70s!

Funkadelic —
Maggot Brain ... LP Westbound, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $239.99
Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever!

Thriller ... LP Epic, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99

Texas Cannonball ... LP Shelter, 1972. Very Good+ ... $39.99

Prince —
3121 ... LP Universal, 2006. Sealed 2LP ... $29.99
A strong effort from the mid 00s revitalized Prince – one that doesn't approach the greatness of the best material, but a graceful and consistent gem nonetheless!

Black & Blue ... LP Capitol, 1962. Very Good ... $6.99
