Dr John —
Locked Down ... CD Nonesuch, 2012. Used Gatefold ... $5.99
The best record in years – maybe decades – from the legendary Dr John – and a set that stands up strongly next to the messed-up Crescent City vibe of his 70s classics! Big thanks are due to Black Keys' guitarist Dan Auerbach – who produced and supervised the whole recording ... read more CD

Dr John —
Mos Scocious – The Dr John Anthology ... CD Rhino, Late 50s/1960s/1970s/1980s. Used 2CD ... $12.99
A really great set – loads of his classic work for Atlantic Records – plus unusual other bits too, including early work recorded as Ronnie & The Delinquents, Morgus & The 3 Ghouls, and as Mac Rebennack! CD
(Includes original slipcase and book. Slipcase has some aging.)
MCA, 1980. Sealed ... $4.99
The Dramatics hit an 80s groove mood here – and as on their clubbier sides from the end of the 70s, the vocals are still wonderful – and more than anything, the set's a strong soul-based set that still has the group at the top of their game! Ballads actually sparkle the best here ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed, with a small cutout notch.)
Dramatics —
Do What You Wanna Do ... LP ABC, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Although not as instantly captivating as their work for Stax, this set for ABC is still a pretty darn great group soul album! The group haven't lost their touch vocally – and Ron Banks and LJ Reynolds are still incredible singers that push smooth soul to a whole new level. The album ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
MCA, Late 70s. Used ... $6.99 8.99
Excellent middle period work by the Dramatics – recorded after their years at Stax, with a slightly smoother groove, and featuring some great tunes that really sparkle! By this point, the group were hitting a Detroit modern mode – with less of the rough edges of the Stax work, which ... read more CD
Canyon/Kent (UK), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $13.99 22.99
Doris Duke's no loser at all – certainly not with a record this great – a killer set of deep soul tracks that may well stand as the singer's finest moment ever! Doris works here at a level that rivals all the best southern-tinged singers of her generation – Aretha Franklin, Ann ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mankind/Kent (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
One of the few albums cut by this oft-overlooked southern soul diva – and one that mixes Muscle Shoals production with some nice uptown touches! Produced by Jerry Williams, Jr., aka Swamp Dogg! While the title comes of a bit flamboyantly, in truth, this record is an honest, personal, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
George Duke —
Dream On ... LP Epic, 1982. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Solid 80s grooving from George Duke – a really tightly-crafted set, done in the sweet mix of jazz and soul that he virtually helped to invent during the 70s! There's a gentle soulfulness to the record that we really like – a quality that's surprising, given the date, and the fact that ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
