United Artists, 1977. Near Mint- ... $13.99
One of the few albums cut by the great soul singer JR Bailey – done with production from Buddy Scott, who also wrote most of the lyrics – in conjunction with Phil Medley, who also did the arrangements! The set begins with an uptempo clubby remake of "Taste of Honey", and also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brass Construction —
6 ... LP United Artists, 1980. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Six albums in, and these guys still aren't losing their groove – and if anything, they seem to be getting even tighter and funkier with the 80s groove generation! Randy Muller's still the main man making things happen here – giving the group their trademark horn sound, and that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
Brass Construction —
Brass Construction ... LP United Artists, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A classic set that goes "slam" from the very first note – and which helped to set the pace for countless ensemble funk acts to come! Brass Construction had a wonderful sound that was the best-realized version of the east coast indie club combos of the mid 70s – funky at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(The back cover has a peel spot and small split along the bottom seam.)
Brass Construction —
Brass Construction 5 ... LP United Artists, 1979. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Brass Construction's fifth album, and the group's still grooving harder than most of their contemporaries! The legendary Randy Muller is still fully in charge here – serving up his trademark lean, mean arrangements that compress all elements of the music firmly on the beat – all in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Brass Construction —
Brass Construction II ... LP United Artists, 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The second album from Brass Construction – heavy horns, basslines, and stellar dancefloor grooves – a stone classic! The first one was totally great, but they cast a wider stylistic claim on II – their trademark funky sound is still very firmly in place, but they bring more to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, light ringwear, and some edge wear.)
Brass Construction —
Brass Construction III ... LP United Artists, 1977. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Another killer from Brass Construction – served up in that fantastic Randy Muller groove! The group's a bit one, but they've got a tightness that's really incredible – horns, bass, keys, and drums all focused together perfectly – hitting a pulsating rhythmic line that's perfect ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Jerry Butler —
Very Best Of Jerry Butler (UA) ... LP United Artists/Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice compilation of tracks that features some of Jerry's finest (and famous) moments for the Vee Jay label. Lots of this stuff is darn hard to find on vinyl, and although the packaging's kind of boring, the music is excellent. Tracks include "Find Another Girl", "Make It Easy On ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose —
Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful album from this enigmatic soul group! Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose were one of a handful of early 70s groups – like Chairmen Of The Board or 100 Proof Aged In Soul – who had a sound that was incredibly hard to peg. There were bits of southern rawness in the vocals, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign —
Watchin You Watchin Me ... LP Chi Sound/United Artists, 1976. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
The rare second album from this obscure midwest group! The groove is more smooth funky soul than anything else, and the record was produced by Carl Davis for his Chi-Sound imprint, and it's got a similar sound to some of the other groups on the label, like Manchild. Tracks include "Jive Du ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Electric Indian —
Keem-O-Sabe ... LP United Artists, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A goofy mix of groovy instrumental tracks with a weird "Apache"-esque instrumentation made up of some nicely processed guitars. The album's sort of funky in parts, with arrangements by Vince Montana that were recorded at Sigma Sound – and which have a late 60s Philly soul vibe to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Monk Higgins —
Heavyweight ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quite possibly the best album ever from funky maestro Monk Higgins! The record's got some of his tighest work of the time – with plenty of tight breaks, nice keyboards, and soulful sax riffs – and Monk is going full-out on the arrangements, in the manner that he used for his best late ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, and bumped corners.)
Monk Higgins —
Little Mama ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An excellent batch of soulful and funky instrumental tracks – super-dope 70s work from funky arranger Monk Higgins!

(Original pressing. Cover has a cut corner, light ringwear, some edge wear, and is bent a bit at the spine.)
ZZ Hill —
Best Thing That's Happened To Me (brown cover) ... LP United Artists, 1972. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
One of the best of ZZ's 70s albums – recorded with a really tight down-home feel, and a style that's maybe even a bit more straight southern soul than some of his albums on smaller labels! Arrangements are by Arthur Wright, and they've got lots of warm touches that really work perfectly with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
John Lee Hooker & Coast To Coast Blues Band —
Anywhere Anyplace Anytime ... LP United Artists, Late 40s/Early 50s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Early recordings by John Lee Hooker and his Coast To Coast Blues Band – recorded in Detroit in the late 40s through the early 50s. The Coast To Coast Blues Band may be a little misleading in the title, as the recordings find Hooker with only the sparest accompaniment on bass, drums, and ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lena Horne —
Soul ... LP United Artists, 1966. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Groovy Lena Horne from the 60s – an album that's a heck of a lot hipper and more swinging than most of her sets from a decade before! That unmistakable Horne style of singing is still very much in place here – but the backings are often tightly punctuated, with a gently soulful groove ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
United Artists, Mid 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $1.99
10 of Chuck's best soul cuts, originally recorded for the Wand label. This stuff virtually defines the male side of the NY uptown soul sound, as you'll hear in tracks like "Any Day Now", "I Don't Want To Cry", "I Wake Up Crying", "Tell Him I'm Not Home", and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, cut corner, and some staining.)
Jive Five —
I'm A Happy Man ... LP United Artists, 1965. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great little album of group soul – recorded by indie label favorites The Jive Five, and just about their only album for a big label. Horace Ott produced and arranged, and he nicely takes the group's earlier doo wop style into a 60s harmony groove – adding in some arrangements that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
United Artists, 1962. Very Good ... $33.99
Early work from this great pre-Motown Barry Gordy protege – a surprisingly nice album of spiritual songs! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original white label promo! Cover is very nice – and record is nice and clean.)
United Artists, 1960. Very Good ... $11.99 28.99
Early Detroit soul – the second LP by the great Marv Johnson, one of the first talents to be supervised by a young Berry Gordy! In fact, it could be said that everything Berry put into his work with Marv led to the formation of Motown – as Marv's mixture of smooth vocals and swinging ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split bottom seam with printed clear tape, small top seam split, light surface wear & aging.)

Ronnie Laws —
Flame ... LP United Artists, 1978. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Ronnie Laws at the top of his early game – working in a tight mix of jazz and soul put together with some great help from Wayne Henderson's At Home Productions – very much in the hit style that team was putting out at the time! The work's surprisingly open and hip compared to efforts ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Little Anthony & The Imperials —
Best Of Little Anthony & The Imperials ... LP United Artists/Veep, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Anthony and crew were one of the few groups who actually got better when they moved from the raw indie scene to the slicker major label one – as you'll hear perfectly on this set of some of their best work for the Veep/DCP/United Artists label. Teddy Randazzo handled all the arrangments and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Manchild —
Power & Love ... LP Chi Sound/United Artists, 1977. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Early work by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, working here with the young Chicago group Manchild – a funky soul outfit that was one of the city's last big new acts of the 70s. The band never really broke the charts that strongly – and on their funky cuts, they sound a bit too much ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Mandrill —
Beast From The East ... LP United Artists, 1975. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Post-Polygram, but still some nice funkiness from this classic 70s group.

Sidney Poitier —
Sidney Poitier Reads Poetry Of The Black Man ... LP United Artists, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Back At Cha ... LP United Artists, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

The Ike & Tina Turner Revue shakes the foundation at Carnegie Hall on April Fools Day, 1971!

Ike Turner —
Blues Roots ... LP United Artists, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
