Stax, 1968. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
Very hip work from Booker T & The MGs – an album that has them standing out under a pier by the ocean on the cover – clearly a long way from their Memphis roots!

One of our favorite David Bowie albums ever!

Genius, pure genius from a young David Bowie – an album that we've always treasured as much as Ziggy Stardust!

The brilliant consummation of Bowie's late 70s years in Berlin – a record that showed he could take the experiments in sound he was crafting with Brian Eno, and turn them back into the kind of creepily catchy rock tunes that first made him a legend!

Parlophone, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A key blend of two chapters in David Bowie's career – his guitar-heavy groove with the Spiders From Mars, and his 60s roots in mod London!

A brilliant soul album! That's right, we said SOUL album!
