Human sacrifice never sounded so groovy – thanks to a wicked score from Carlo Savina, who really knocks it out of the park with this one!

A fantastic classic material from Savoy Brown!

Blue-eyed soul from Boz Scaggs, with a decidedly Philly influenced sound to the production, which we'd hazard a guess comes more from the Hall & Oates side of town than the Sigma Sound axis. Still, this is a solid album with the irresistible hit "Lowdown", still a favorite around ... (Soul) read moreCD
A beautifully done look at the music of Harvey Scales – a damn funky cat from the Milwaukee scene, finally getting his due!
