Close Encounters ... LP Arista, 1977. 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 more LP, Vinyl record album

Sex & The Single Man ... LP Arista, 1985. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
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 more LP, Vinyl record album
Ray Parker Jr & Raydio —
Two Places At The Same Time ... LP Arista, 1980. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Solid funky work from Ray Parker Jr & Raydio – a set that's lean and focused, and still very much in the earlier Raydio groove! Parker's still a bit away from the spotlight at this point – leaving the band to have the strongest role in the record, which is a great thing, given how ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ray Parker Jr & Raydio —
Woman Needs Love ... LP Arista, 1981. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The start of Ray Parker's big hit run of the 80s – a set that has the Raydio group stripped down to just a duo behind Ray, and Parker very firmly out in the lead on vocals! The title hit's a smooth standard that's kept on going for many years – just the kind of cut that crossed Ray ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Two's A Crowd ... LP Arista (UK), 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
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 ...

Iggy Pop —
Party ... LP Arista, 1981. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
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+ ... Out Of Stock
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.

She's Gone ... LP Bell, 1974. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
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 more LP, Vinyl record album

Raydio ... LP Arista, 1978. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The first Raydio set from guitarist Ray Parker – an artist who'd worked on countless session gigs by the time of this album, which gave him more than enough chops to get things right from the start! The sound is tight and definitely aimed at the charts, by Ray also brings his own sort of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rock On ... LP Arista, 1979. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Not much rock here, but a definite guitar-driven groove – that Ray Parker vamp cooked up in a long legacy of work for other artists – really sparkling here in the frontline of Raydio!

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

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 more LP, Vinyl record album

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!

Bridges ... LP Arista, 1977. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
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! The record's a great showcase for the more upbeat side of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A standout set from Gil Scott-Heron – and that's saying a lot, given the strength of his other 70s work! This album's a double-length live set – one that has Gil taking on the familiar format of the 70s, and using it to really push the boundaries of his own music too! Most tracks are ...

Reflections ... LP Arista, 1981. Very Good+ ... 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 more LP, Vinyl record album

Gil Scott-Heron/Arista, 1975. Very Good Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Gil Scott Heron's first album for Arista – very much in the mellow soul jazz work of his legendary album on Strata East!

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

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!

Among the best of the best of early Patti Smith albums – the Easter LP from 1978 – also her biggest hit ever!

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