Saturday Night Fever ... CD RSO, 1977. Used ... $4.99
Yes, it was a mega-hit – and yes, it was one of those records that everyone who lived through the 70s seemed to own at one time – but after all these decades, you can't deny the power of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack – especially for the way that it mixed club soul classics ... read more CD

George Clinton's Greatest Hits ... CD Capitol, Early 80s. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Isley Brothers —
Harvest For The World (with bonus track) ... CD T Neck/Epic, 1976. Used ... $5.99
Fantastic Isleys from the mid 70s!

Michael Jackson —
Bad ... CD Epic, 1987. Used ... $2.99
The third great album in the trilogy that includes Off The Wall and Thriller – and a set that still has Michael Jackson running strong at the height of his solo powers!

Idle Hours ... CD Prestige/Bluesville, 1961. Used ... $4.99
Beautiful late work from Lonnie Johnson – recorded decades after his bigger years on record, but handled with great care by Prestige Records, during the brief run of its Bluesville imprint!

Chaka Khan —
I Feel For You ... CD Warner, 1984. Used ... $6.99
Chaka Khan steps off her smoother sets from the early 80s here – into a groove that's a bit chunkier, funkier, and with some key 80s groove touches!

Jimmy McGriff in a very cool 70s mode – hitting some of the fuller, more soul-based styles that Johnny Hammond and Jimmy Smith were exploring in the middle of the decade – while still also displaying a hell of a talent on the organ as well!

Miguel —
Wildheart (deluxe version) ... CD Bystorm/RCA, 2015. Used ... $4.99
Heady soul from Miguel – a new artist with a great warm sound in his music! The beats and instrumentation are often nicely fuzzy – not crackly cosmic, as on other contemporary singers – but almost with this messed-up feel as if the album's come from lo-fi tapes, then remastered ...

After The Rain ... CD Rounder, 2006. Used ... $5.99

T Bone Walker —
Good Feelin' ... CD Verve/Polydor (France), 1968. Used ... $7.99
A rare gem from T Bone Walker – one of the few hip sides he cut in Europe at the end of the 60s – and very different than his more traditional work! The set was put together by Robin Hemmingway – who also handled the hip Hal Singer record from the same time – and the ... (Blues, Soul) read more CD

Fruit At The Bottom (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia/Cherry Pop (UK), 1989. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The second album from the team of Wendy & Lisa – and a record that nicely gets past some of the more mainstream sounds of the first! The styles here move a bit more away from the mid 80s pop/soul modes the pair first forged with Prince – and there's a bit more variety in the ... read more CD

Wendy & Lisa —
Wendy & Lisa (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia/Cherry Pop (UK), 1987. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A classic post-Prince project from the team of Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman – work that builds off the funky pop sensibility they first forged with the purple one, but which comes across a bit more mainstream overall!
