Isaac Hayes —
For The Sake Of Love ... LP Polydor, 1978. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of our favorite Isaac Hayes albums from the post-Stax years – a wonderful late 70s set that has the man returning strongly to the mellow roots of his early solo years!

Lady In Satin ... LP Columbia, 1958. Very Good+ ... $11.99

Hollies —
Evolution ... LP Epic, 1967. Very Good+ ... $24.99

Excellent late 50s work by Milt Jackson for Atlantic!

Cloudy ... LP Atlantis II, 1977. Very Good ... $9.99

Duke Jordan —
Les Liaisons Dangereuses ... LP Charlie Parker, 1962. Very Good ... $7.99

Stan Kenton —
Sketches On Standards (10 inch LP) ... LP Capitol, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Wonderful work from Kenton – warm and seductive, yet also modern and adventurous, tunes that are familiar, yet inexplicably transformed by the Kentonite approach!

Albert King —
King Albert ... LP Tomato, 1977. Very Good+ ... $8.99
A tight date from 1977, and one that follows nicely in the spirit of King's later Stax sides, but with a slightly smoother groove.

The definitely got the title right here – as BB King is plenty great, and already a powerhouse in these early years of his career!

Ben E King —
Spanish Harlem ... LP Atco, 1961. Very Good ... $16.99
Incredible work from Ben E King!

Ben E King —
Supernatural ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good ... $4.99
A brilliant 70s comeback for Ben E King – a record that shows the world that his vocals are still some of the best in soul, long after his early hits – and a massively mature effort that also grooves like a mofo!

Martin Luther King —
American Dream ... LP Dooto, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $6.99

King Crimson —
Lizard ... LP Atlantic, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

Roland Kirk with Jack McDuff —
Funk Underneath (aka Kirk's Work) ... LP Prestige, 1966. Very Good+ ... $28.99
A strange and tasty little album that Roland Kirk made with organist Jack McDuff in the early 60s – one of his few outings in such a format, and a smoking little session that almost makes us wish he'd cut more of them! The format is relatively simple – with lots of interplay between ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Carl Kress —
Carl Kress Guitar Stylist (10 inch LP) ... LP Capitol, Mid 40s/Early 50s. Very Good ... $19.99
A great set of tracks by this oft-overlooked swing guitarist.

At Last ... LP Blue Thumb, Early 70s. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
Probably the rarest of all albums by the Last Poets – so rare that it often doesn't show up in lists of their work, and that it's never reissued with the frequency of their other early titles.

Peggy Lee —
Black Coffee With Peggy Lee ... LP Decca, 1953. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Wonderfully spare early jazz sides by Peggy, and the kind of material that's not easy to find amidst the bulk of her pop-oriented work. The album's a moving set of ballads and torchy numbers, recorded in small-combo fashion, in a style that's similar to some of Chris Connor's later Bethlehem work. ...

Norma Deloris Egstrom From Jamestown North Dakota ... LP Capitol/EMI, 1972. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A really unique later album from Peggy Lee – one that's so different than the brash confidence of her early material, and which shows her really perfecting that boozy, mature sound that she brought to a handful of gems like this!

Breezy ... LP MCA, 1973. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Breezy indeed – as the record has a light, floating approach that's every bit the best part of Legrand's work in the 70s! The album's mostly instrumentals – strings soaring over slinky bass and sublimated rhythms, in the manner of the best post-60s French soundtracks, occasionally ...

A killer live set from Ramsey Lewis and his classic early 60s trio – a record that's not nearly as well known as The In Crowd, but every bit as great! Drummer Red Holt and bassist Eldee Young really get in some great elements here – working with Ramsey's piano in a groove that's far ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Liszt/Legend (UK), 1977. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Love —
Forever Changes ... LP Elektra, 1967. Very Good+ ... $59.99
What can we say? This is one of the greatest albums of all time! The record's got a sound that's completely unique – as crack LA garage punk rock meets Hollywood baroque production, and the result is an amazing bit of loud guitar noise backed by strings and horns, all graced by the godlike ...

Mahavishnu Orchestra —
Birds Of Fire ... LP Columbia, 1972. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A great second album from Mahavishnu Orchestra – one that has them still very might in the same tight formation as the first! As before, there's a heck of a lot of power here – monstrous work on drums from Billy Cobham, sharp-edged guitar from John McLaughlin, and a range of great ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s UK CBS pressing – 32280 – with orange fade labels. Cover is bent a bit at the spine and is bumped at the bottom left corner.)
Mahavishnu Orchestra —
Inner Mounting Flame ... LP Columbia, 1971. Near Mint- ... $39.99
A massive set of fusion from Mahavishnu Orchestra – a group that features some incredible guitar work from John McLaughlin, who sounds even more focused and driven here than on his own records! As with Return To Forever or Weather Report, the combo's a supergroup of sorts – with Billy ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram Speakers Corner pressing. Includes the insert. Cover is lightly bent at the bottom seam.)
Harry Manfredini/Gramavision, 1982. Very Good+ ... $49.99
Kind of a 3-in-1 package – as the album features tunes written for the first 3 of the Friday the 13th films – all of them either electro-slasher type numbers, or dark and moody passages of strings – with an atonal haunting quality that stretches back to Morricone. Included is the ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Herbie Mann —
Stone Flute ... LP Embryo, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $13.99
Stone flute, or stoned flute, the album's got a really laidback feel – a sound that's very open-ended, and quite different from some of the crossover classics Herbie Mann was cutting a few short years before! The record's got the darkly brooding feel of some of his other work on the Vortex ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Back cover has a promo stamp.)
Phil Manzanera/Polydor (UK), 1977. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Quite possibly the best of the solo Phil Manzanera projects – a wonderfully tight album that's surprisingly soulful and funky at times! Phil gets some great studio help from Eno and Godley & Creme – the latter two of who can really be felt on the record's well-penned lyrical ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(US Polydor pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a corner bump and light surface wear & aging.)
Pigmeat Markham —
Tune Me In ... LP Chess, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
A great album that mixes funky music and comedy routines by Pigmeat! The set features 2 great funky 45 tracks – the hilarious "My Wife I Ain't Seen Her", plus a remake of "Open The Door Richard", done with some heavy Gene Barge backings. The album also features longer ... (Comedy) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wynton Marsalis —
Think Of One ... LP Columbia, 1983. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Wynton Marsalis' second date for Columbia Records, and an album that already has him stretching out from the first! Unlike before, when Wynton was given a few older players to help establish his sound, the group here is all Marsalis' own – with brother Branford on tenor and soprano sax, ...

Mastersounds —
Ballads & Blues ... LP World Pacific, 1959. Very Good ... $7.99
The Mastersounds seem to take a page from the book of the MJQ – especially with a title like this – but as usual, the end results are a fair bit hipper! The album features the classic lineup with Buddy Montgomery on vibes, Monk Montgomery on electric bass, Richie Crabtree on piano, and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ana Mazzotti —
Ana Mazzotti (1977) ... LP GTA (Brazil), 1977. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
One of two incredible albums from the lovely Ana Mazzotti – a 70s Brazilian singer who could effortlessly blend fusion and soul, Brazilian rhythms and funk – working here with plenty of help from Jose Roberto Bertrami of Azymuth! In fact, the record has a vibe that's a lot like the ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cecil McBee —
Music From The Source ... LP Enja (Germany), 1977. Near Mint- ... $69.99
One of the few albums issued as a leader by bassist Cecil McBee – and like all of the rest, a really amazing record that showcases the visionary talent that often made McBee such a key part of other folks' groups! The tracks are long and spiritual, but with slight avant leanings – and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr —
I Hope We Get To Love In Time ... LP ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
The first album from the team of Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr – and a set that's arguably even more soulful than their work together in The 5th Dimension! The pair are lucky to have Groovesville soul maestro Don Davis at the helm – helping them hit a more mature, more ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy McGriff —
Groove Grease ... LP Groove Merchant, 1971. Near Mint- ... $49.99
A nice bit of funky organ work from Jimmy McGriff – a set that's got his famous talents on the Hammond out front of a larger ensemble – but in a way that's very different than some of his albums of that type from the 70s! There's lots of electricity in the mix – electric piano ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy McGriff —
Mean Machine ... LP Groove Merchant, 1976. Very Good Gatefold ... $9.99
Sweet 70s electric work from Jimmy McGriff – material that's different than his grittier grooves of the 60s, but still plenty darn great! The style's clearly influenced by CTI – as Jimmy's using electric piano as much as organ – and is getting some fuller support in the backings ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy McGriff —
Thing To Come By ... LP Solid State, 1969. Very Good Gatefold ... $13.99
A really fantastic record from Hammond hero Jimmy McGriff – and one that has him opening up his groove a fair bit more than on his early Sue Records sides! Jimmy's sense of rhythm and timing here is great – really changing up and keeping things interesting – still with enough of ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jackie McLean & The Great Jazz Trio —
New Wine In Old Bottles (Inner City) ... LP East Wind/Inner City, 1978. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A very apt title – as Jackie McLean sits in for a soulful session with the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – all "old bottles" at this point in their career, but working together beautifully to brew some very mellow "new wine"!

Clyde McPhatter —
Love Ballads ... LP Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good ... $29.99
A great album of mellower ballads that showcase Clyde McPhatter's richly emotional style of singing, one that's on a par with his lead vocal work in The Drifters, and recorded here in a very similar mode! And sure, they're ballads – but they've got a great deep soul edge – as you'll ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Siku Ya Bibi – Day Of The Lady (Japanese pressing) ... LP Mainstream/Teichiku (Japan), 1972. Very Good ... $14.99
One of the most distinct early dates from reedman Charles McPherson – a unique "with strings" session recorded as a tribute to Billie Holiday – and with a style that shows off sides of McPherson's playing that wouldn't show up on other records for years to come! The album's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Carmen McRae —
By Special Request ... LP Decca, 1955. Very Good ... $9.99
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings! The sound here is a bit unusual – given that the groups are headed by accordion Mat Mathews and pianist Dick Katz – both of whom have a good ear for unusual phrasing, and ...

In Person – San Francisco (aka Carmen McRae Live At Sugar Hill – San Francisco) ... LP Mainstream, 1962. Very Good ... $2.99
A wonderful set by Carmen McCrae – captured at San Francisco's Sugar Hill in 1962 – backed by a tight trio! Carmen is in sweet form here, very loose and and wise, and the group knows just how to fill out the sound. She scats loosely on the opening "Sunday", nearly hits a ...

Pat Metheny —
American Garage ... LP ECM, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A brilliantly evocative album from Pat Metheny – one that's got a quietly epic feel, as Pat and group soar out across the American landscape in a set of tunes that subtly explore space and sound while still remaining wonderfully fluid. There's nothing forced here, and nothing too slick ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lee Michaels —
Nice Day For Something ... LP Columbia, 1973. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A great Columbia Records set from the mighty Lee Michaels – still going strong after an amazing run of albums on A&M, but with a vibe that's maybe a bit more underground overall! Lee's still a hell of a songwriter, but he's also got an approach that's maybe slightly muted – almost ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
