Lou Rawls/Capitol/Music Images, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A pretty great little live set – recorded in Central Park in the late 60s, before a very large crowd!

Otis Redding —
Dock Of The Bay ... LP Volt, 1968. Good ... Just Sold Out!
A very important crossover soul album – a huge hit for Otis Redding that was released after his tragic death in December 1967 – but it's also hard to say if it would have had the impact it did had Redding not passed while the LP was still in production. In a way, the record sort of set ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rock N Roll Animal ... LP RCA, 1974. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Lou Reed at his mid 70s live peak! Volumes have already been and will continue to be written about Lou's output in the 70s, and rightly so. This set is particularly amazing in that it follows the artful highpoint/financial failure that is Berlin – so Lou is doing the rock & roll star ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Resavoir ... LP International Anthem, 2019. New Copy ... $22.99 23.99
A beautiful International Anthem debut from Resavoir – a group led by Will Miller, a musician who's equally skilled at both keyboards and trumpet – and who often plays in a style that sometimes makes it hard to tell which sound is coming from which instrument!

A seminal set from Max Roach – the start of his more righteous stretch in jazz, as you might guess from the title of the album!

A great lost chapter in the career of Sonny Rollins – material recorded live at MOMA in 1965, but unissued until this brief package in the late 70s!

Southern University Jazz Ensemble/Jazzstronauts/Now Again, 1971. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A set that's gotta be one of the most righteous school band records ever – way more than just a bunch of students doing big band numbers, and instead a killer batch of spiritual jazz numbers, directed by the legendary Alvin Batiste!

Spinners —
8 ... LP Atlantic, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Eight Atlantic albums, and The Spinners are still going strong – sounding really wonderful here, thanks to Philly backings from the great Thom Bell!

Greetings From Asbury Park NJ ... LP Columbia, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $13.99

Steeleye Span —
Please To See The King ... LP Big Tree, 1971. Very Good+ ... $23.99
There's a slight shift here from the first album by Steeleye Span – a bit of a shift to just a touch of electric guitar and organ next to the bass guitar lines of Ashley Hutchings – which makes for an even more sinister sound than before! In keeping with their approach, most songs are ... (Folk/Country) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Steely Dan —
Aja ... LP ABC/Geffen, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 29.99

Sonny Stitt —
Constellation (Cobblestone) ... LP Cobblestone, 1972. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A return to basics after Sonny Stitt's late 60s Varitone and funk experiments – all-bop and all soul all the way through, and recorded with a tight quartet that features Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Roy Brooks on drums!

My Main Man ... LP Argo, 1964. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A lost little cooker from Stitt and Green – recorded at a time when they were working together briefly, with backing by a Chicago organ trio that includes Bobby Buster on Hammond, Jo Diorio on guitar, and Dorel Anderson on drums.

Breakfast In America ... LP A&M, 1979. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!

A brilliant early album from pianist Aki Takase – already at the top of her game with an amazing command of the keyboard – a reach and sense of imagination that almost opens into the freewheeling territory of Cecil Taylor, but one that's also got a lot of room for gentler, more ...

Talking Heads —
Little Creatures ... LP Sire, 1985. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A record that's almost a back to basics effort for the Talking Heads – produced with maybe a bit more crossover appeal than some of their early records, yet one that also shakes off some of the larger funk, soul, and global instrumentation that was part of their sound in the early 80s!

Mel Torme —
Songs Of New York ... LP Atlantic, Early 60s. Very Good ... $1.99
One of Mel's best non-Bethlehem albums, and a record that's as much a loving tribute to New York as any you'll ever buy! Kind of funny, too, because in Mel's California Suite, there's all this stuff about how lousy New York is – but by the time of this early 60s recording, Mel's clearly ...
