Tabu/Unidisc (Canada), 1978. New Copy .... $11.99 Out Of Stock
Anacostia make the move to Tabu Records for this sweet second set – and they seem to have picked up more of a groove along the way! The same elements as before are firmly in place here – production by Charles Kipps, with supervision from Van McCoy – but the groove is a bit more... read more

Michael Boothman — Heaven ... LP
Tabu, 1977. Very Good+ .... $5.99
Soaring work from guitarist Michael Boothman – a record that's probably more in a soul instrumental mode than a jazz one – but which is plenty darn great, thanks to help from a variety of top-shelf talents! Boothman's working here with Leon Pendarvis – who plays keyboards on the... read more

Brainstorm — Funky Entertainment (with bonus tracks) ... CD
1979. New Copy .... Around October 7, 2013
Funky Entertainment is right – as Brainstorm move into a bass-heavy groove that's every bit the sound of late 70s mainstream funk! The group still have some of the smooth dancefloor style of earlier records, but the emphasis here is much more on the bottom of the groove – popping and... read more

new Brainstorm — Journey To The Light ... LP
Tabu, 1978. Very Good .... $7.99
Our favorite album by this overlooked 70s soul group! The album's a real club stormer from the old days – a soaring blend of upbeat tunes with a sound that's righteous and smooth, and never cloying. These guys are kind of riding on the high of an Earth Wind & Fire kind of groove –... read more

Tabu (UK), 1977. New Copy .... $15.99
A set that definitely lives up to its title – a stone stormer from Brainstorm – one of the tightest funky ensembles of their generation, and one of the few who could go deep while still laying down a groove! The set's got a perfect balance of modes – enough of the appeal of... read more

new Cherrelle — Fragile (180 gram pressing) ... LP
Tabu (UK), 1984. New Copy (reissue).... $28.99
Nothing Fragile here – as Cherrelle comes across with plenty of power on this debut LP – thanks to sharp production from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on some of the best cuts, and an overall groove that's right on the best side of early 80s soul! The Jam/Lewis tracks are heavy on... read more

Manfredo Fest — Manifestations ... LP

General Caine — Dangerous (with bonus tracks) ... CD
1983. New Copy .... Around November 4, 2013
This one continues the sound of the group's previous album on Tabu – lots of slap-bass funk, touched with electro bits, coming off surprisingly nicely overall! The instrumentation's mostly from keyboards and bass pedals – and the vocals are a bit buried in the mix, but there's some... read more

General Caine — Girls (with bonus tracks) ... CD
1982. New Copy .... Around September 2, 2013
The General pulls out all of his slap-bass funky stops on this one, for a nice early 80s session of LA groovers with a fairly electric feel. Tracks include "Knock Down The Walls", "Girls", "Don't Stop", "Wait At The Mountain", and "It's Getting... read more

A beautiful album of sexy soul, recorded with a smooth modern sound that's very different than Sharon's earlier albums.

new Lalo Schifrin — Gypsies ... LP
Tabu, 1978. Used .... $3.99 Temporarily Out Of Stock
An ambitious set of funky jazz tunes from Lalo – cut in the proto-disco style of some of his later CTI work, but also done with some interesting instrumental flourishes from track to track. The album's got a "gypsy" spirit in the compositions – sometimes touched with a bit of... read more

While side 2 of this album was produced by Gene Dozier, the entirety of side 1 had Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the helm, and they came up with a couple of huge numbers for the group with "Just Be Good To Me" and "Tell Me If You Still Care", two prototypical 80s mellow grooves,... read more

new SOS Band — Sands Of Time ... LP
Tabu, 1986. Very Good+ .... $3.99 Just Sold Out!
For the longest time we'd look at this album and just figure the SOS Band were well past their prime here, but when we finally got around to dropping the needle on it, we were pleasantly surprised.
