You Are Not Alone ... CD Anti, 2010. Used ... $3.99
A rawly beautiful set from Mavis Staples – produced by Jeff Tweedy, and we think it's her best of the past decade! There's a roomy, lived in vibe that's achingly effective on this one – the core group is her road band, with additional players including Tweedy, Patrick Sansone, Mark ... read more CD

Stargard —
Stargard ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
The debut album from Stargard – a set that turned the trio into strong soul stars, after a brief and mistaken role in the film Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band! Given the failure of that cinematic endeavor, it's amazing that MCA signed the girls up – but it's also clear that the ... read more CD

Joe Thomas —
Get In The Wind ... CD LRC/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $9.99 13.99
Reedman Joe Thomas is wrapped up here in some very warm grooves – a mix of electric jazz and clubby modes – all of which takes Thomas' usual sound right to the discos!

Yan Tregger —
Ducks & Drakes ... CD BBE (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $9.99 14.99
