You Are The One (voc, inst) ... 12-inch 
Dakar, 1981. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
An 80s groove classic! This track has a killer sound that mixes bass-heavy funk with a tight electric keyboard sound – and it rips along nicely with a very catchy hook.

Sil Austin —
Sil Austin Plays Pretty For The People ... LP Mercury, 1959. Very Good+ ... $0.99
No honking here, as Sil Austin takes his deeply soulful tenor sax, and turns it to a set of creamy late-nite tracks – all done over some very "pretty" backings, ala the Verve strings work of Ben Webster or Lester Young. Most cuts have voices in with the orchestrations – and ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing. Cover has edge wear.)
Roy Ayers —
No Stranger To Love ... LP Polydor, 1979. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
An oft-overlooked funky soul gem from the incredible Roy Ayers – taking turns with both uptempo material and more smoothed out soul sounds – all done with Roy's trademark jazzy approach to the dancefloor!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light opening edge wear.)
Bar-Kays —
Light Of Life ... LP Mercury, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Proof that even a move to a major label couldn't keep the Bar-Kays down – as the group are working here in a great groove that's wider, fresher, and stronger overall than any of their Stax albums!

(In a plain sleeve.)
Blowfly —
Oldies But Goodies ... LP Weird World, Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $8.99
Here's a record we wish they would have used for the soundtrack to Happy Days – Blowfly cashing in on the 50s craze in the 70s, and offering up his own off-color version of a number of classic oldies! The sound is pretty darn goofy, but also has links to Blow's roots as singer Clarence Reid ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Angela Bofill —
Angel Of The Night ... LP Arista/GRP, 1979. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $11.99

Best Of Booker T & The MGs ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good+ ... $19.99
What can we say? Booker T and crew are always tops in our book – and this album's as strong a batch of their classic singles as you'll ever find! Book's organ is the sound of a generation, and Steve Cropper's sinister vamping on guitar gives even the poppier tracks a hard edge that still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dee Dee Bridgewater —
Just Family ... LP Elektra, 1978. Very Good+ ... $8.99
This one's a real shift from her earlier jazz-based work, or her recent recordings for Verve – and a sweet funky fusion album that Dee Dee recorded for Elektra in the late 70s.

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a sticker, cutout hole, and light wear.)
James Brown —
Original Disco Man ... LP Polydor, 1979. Very Good ... $8.99
Forget the "disco" in the title, because the album's not really disco – or at least not in a way that any disco fan would agree to – just more of a dancefloor-oriented approach to the heavy funk that James had always been cutting in the 70s! Tracks are longer and more uptempo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has light wear.)
James Brown —
Unbeatable James Brown – 16 Hits ... LP King, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $19.99

Love Approach ... LP GRP/Arista, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $7.99
An early gem from trumpeter Tom Browne – a set that not only firmly established Browne as one of the best young players of his generation, but which also paved the way for a whole new direction for jazz funk in the 80s! The record is a perfect example of how great the mix of R&B rhythms ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Jerry Butler —
Love's On The Menu ... LP Motown, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An overlooked sleeper from Jerry Butler – the kind of record that follows nicely off of his best strengths for Mercury in the early 70s – and which has him furthering the level of mature soul that was his greatest contribution to music in the decade! As before, the best tunes here are ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Jerry Butler —
Nothing Says I Love You Like I Love You ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99

Cameo —
Feel Me ... LP Chocolate City, 1980. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A great 80s groove from Cameo – but one that's still done in the group's best early funk ensemble mode!

Captain Sky —
Adventures Of Captain Sky ... LP AVI, 1978. Very Good ... $13.99

It's Just Begun ... LP RCA, 1972. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Dancin' With Melba ... LP Buddah, 1979. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A album of club tracks, as you might guess from the title, but every bit as strong as Melba More's other work from the late 70s!

Keep On Jumpin' ... LP Prelude, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99

Great work from the Ohio Players – and proof that moving to a big label could be a good thing for a funky group!
