Wendy & Lisa ... LP Columbia, 1987. Very Good+ ...
$9.9911.99
A classic post-Prince project from the team of Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman – work that builds off the funky pop sensibility they first forged with the purple one, but which comes across a bit more mainstream overall! There's certainly some of the snappier rhythms that the pair worked in ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Maurice White —
Maurice White ... LP Columbia, 1984. Very Good- ...
Just Sold Out!
The only solo album ever recorded by Maurice White – an upbeat and soulful set that's right up there with his best 80s work in Earth Wind & Fire! Like that group at the time, White's hitting a rhythmic side that's more electronic at points – letting beats and keyboard bits stand in ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
There's plenty to be proud of here – as the album's a key part in the reinvention of Deniece Williams for the 80s – a great way of finding a new setting for her wonderful voice, one that helped her reach a huge new audience in the process! Most of the backings have an 80s approach, but ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An album that crossed over for Deniece in a big way – and it's a great one, with crisp, lean pop soul production that's as gratifying as any of the era – with a few ballads that are totally top notch, too! This is definitely the best of her more pop oriented records, with hooks galore ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Features Phil Woods on alto, Dave Grusin on keyboards, Grady Tate on drums, and Chuck Domanico on bass. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
A key record in the evolution of Tony Williams as a drummer – and kind of a powerful summation of all the changes he'd made in the 70s – before a return to straighter jazz in the next decade! Williams' drumming here is incredibly fierce at points – almost at a Billy Cobham level ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Hard grooving late 60s blues rock from the great Johnny Winter! Winter's guitar sounds as great here as it does in some of his better known records.

Great early stuff from Paul Winter – a player who's certainly done some terrible stuff over the years, but who really sounded great in his younger days! Winter was a hip young player coming out of Northwestern U in Chicago, and he had a well-educated, slightly-modern approach to jazz that ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Bill Withers —
'Bout Love ... LP Columbia, 1978. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
One of Wither's most underrated sets, a nice effort from the latter part of his Columbia career.

(White label promo. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo stamp.)
The mellow soul of Bill Withers is always a treat – and although this best of collection was released on Columbia, it mostly features tracks from Bill's stellar early days at Sussex, when he was turning out some of the most quietly revolutionary soul of the decade! Nearly every cut's a ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Damn! Bill Withers can never do wrong in our book – and this album is definitely case in point!

One of Bill Withers' greatest albums of the 70s – a set that has hip stepping off the acoustic sound of his Sussex records, into a warm and jazzy style that we like every bit as much as his earlier work! The album's got a wonderfully sophisticated jazzy vibe, and includes the excellent cut ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing with Masterdisk stamp. Vinyl appears heated but play is not affected. Cover has minimal wear.)
A sweet little 80s session from Bill Withers – a lot less acoustic than his soul of the 70s, but in a way that works surprisingly well! As always with Bill, the vocals are the main thing, and the passage of time has done nothing to take off his edge – that warmly raspy quality that's ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really cool record from the Japanese scene of the 70s – one that mixes traditional instrumentation with some high fidelity recording styles – then adds in just the right dash of contemporary elements too!

If you ever needed a record to convince you that The Yardbirds are pure genius, this one is it!

A deceptively groovy record – one that, like the other two in this hip series, hides some very cool sounds behind a relatively unassuming cover!

Weird mix of stuff on here, with The Bangles, Aerosmith, Poison, Joan Jett, Roy Orbison, and Slayer – but it was the record that broke Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" onto the world, and you've got to love it for that.
