Great later work from Monty Python, done after the show had ended – which means that the items here are all new, and done only for the record!

Still very much in the best mode as the rest of their 70s classics for Mercury Records – a sweet mix of ensemble funk with some upbeat styles that were perfect for the clubs! The group's shifted a bit by the time of this one and only album for Arista, but they've still got most of their best ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Skybird ... LP Arista, 1975. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A cool collection of space-themed club tracks from Gene Page – and possibly one of his greatest albums of the 70s – dispite a gimmicky approach! There's a tightly soaring feel to most of the cuts that's Page at his best – arranging fully with styles borrowed from Barry White, but ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner, hype sticker, and unglued top seam.)

Greatest Hits ... LP Arista, Late 70s/Early 80s. Near Mint- ...
$1.999.99
Ray Parker's definitely a single man at this point in his career – leaving behind his earlier role in the Raydio group, and working here as writer and producer on a string of 80s hits! The album follows strongly in the catchy, crossover mode of Parker's work from the middle part of the ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The last full 70s album from Pilot – just a duo by this point, but working with all the punch and panache of their early records! As before, their ability for hook-heavy tunes is amazing – as there's so many numbers here that could have been huge AM radio hits, but which also have some ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Iggy's third album for Arista – one of his more straight-forward sets of rockers, for the most part – but Iggy being Iggy, it's still pretty edgy stuff for a rock album on major label in the early 80s!

Iggy Pop —
Soldier ... LP Arista, 1980. Very Good+ ...
$11.99
One of Iggy's better solo albums – with all the manic vocals you'd want and expect, but with some really cool production touches and oddball, yet accessible songs. You got love Iggy for kicking of a high stakes second album for Arista with a song about wanting a rubber dolly and hanging out ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A great little Lou Rawls album from his short-lived time at Bell Records – and like most of his smaller stints at 70s labels, work that really stands out from the rest! The album was cut in LA with smooth production from Norman Ratner – but the overall sound is still pretty darn hip ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the last great albums that Rudd played on before going into retirement!

The ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful little record by Pharoah Sanders – quite different than most of his other recordings of the 70s, and done in a smoothly jazzy mode that also features plenty of soul! Sanders did the set in collaboration with Norman Connors – and the style is in that same great mix of mellow ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl is nice – but the cover has waviness, faint staining, and light wear at the bottom corner area, and a cut corner.)
The debut album from Rena Scott – and a mighty club burner that's headed up by the production team of James Mtume and Reggie Lucas!

An oft-overlooked jazzy gem from Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson – and a beautifully swinging session that has Gil toning it down a bit, and working into a nicely musical groove that gets past the heavy politics of earlier years!

Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great little album that's often overshadowed by its hit – the 15 minute "B-Movie", which was sort of an overly-wrought protest piece about how the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 was going to turn America into a bad b-movie. Not that that track's bad – although its ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A 70s soul classic – and the closest that Gil Scott-Heron ever came to having a hit!

A bit smoother than Ben's earlier albums – but a great little set all the way through – and about as classic as you can get for Sidran in the 70s! The album's got a bit more soul in the mix, but still has some jazzy elements in the backings – and where things were sometimes ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Tightly funky work from Ben Sidran – arguably one of his best albums for Arista, thanks to a strong lineup of players, and the open-ended relaxed setting of Montreux!

A great group from the 70s AOR scene – one that never fully got its due, but which never let that stop them from doing their best!

A beautiful solo piano set by Cecil Taylor – recorded live in Ohio in 1973, and originally released on his own small Unit Core label.

Excellent Artista/Freedom reissue that brings together the full set from Cecil's 1962 performance at Cafe Monmartre.

A surprisingly nice album from the later years of Dionne Warwick's career – a set recorded at a time when the lady may have been a bit of a parody of herself on screen, but could still sound great in the studio!
