Otis Redding —
Dock Of The Bay ... LP Volt, 1968. Good ... Just Sold Out!
A very important crossover soul album – a huge hit for Otis Redding that was released after his tragic death in December 1967 – but it's also hard to say if it would have had the impact it did had Redding not passed while the LP was still in production. In a way, the record sort of set ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo Volt pressing. Cover has a split top seam, splitting on spine & bottom seam, name in pen, surface wear.)

Minnie Riperton —
Perfect Angel ... LP Epic, 1974. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Minnie Riperton's first album for Epic – and the record that broke her from a hip Chicago underground artist into one of the seventies' biggest female soul stars! The record moves past the baroque soul of Minnie's early years with Rotary Connection and Charles Stepney – and hits a mix ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label pressing with Kendun stamp.)
Diana Ross —
Diana ... LP Motown, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $8.99
A record so big they dropped the "Ross" from Diana's name – just to show how large the lady was living at the end of the 70s! The album was a key set in the solo years of Diana's career – a back to basics dancefloor effort done with impeccable production by Bernard Edwards ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Diana ... CD 8.99(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Rufus —
Party Til You're Broke ... LP MCA, 1981. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Great later work from Rufus – working here without Chaka Khan on vocals, but sounding even jazzier as a result! There almost seems to be more emphasis on the instrumentation than before – and the album's got a warmly funky groove that definitely carries on the 70s Rufus tradition, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Patrice Rushen —
Remind Me – The Classic Elektra Recordings 1978 to 1984 (3LP set) ... LP Elektra/Strut (UK), Late 1970s/Early 1980s. New Copy 3LP ... $33.99 35.99
Stunning work from the great second chapter of Patrice Rushen – the time when the lady moved over to Elektra Records and really opened up her groove! Rushen had already been making great music for most of the 70s – playing fantastic keyboards as a real up-and-coming star on the funky ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sam Sanders —
Mirror Mirror ... LP Strata/BBE (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $34.99 48.99
An ultra-hip set of soul jazz from 70s Detroit – recorded back in the day by saxophonist Sam Sanders, but never issued at the time! The album's got this wonderfully warm, open sort of vibe – a quality that's kind of like an indie take on the CTI mode of the time, but much more relaxed ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Santa Esmeralda —
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (original cover) ... LP Philips (France), 1977. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A seminal bit of crossover disco from the mid 70s – and a record that broke big on its title reworking of The Animals' earlier hit! Leroy Gomez heads the group on vocals and alto sax – and brings a slight Latin flourish to the album – mixing strings with some brassier "Spanis ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a bumped corner, but is nice overall.)
George Scott —
Find Someone To Love (green vinyl pressing) ... LP Maple/Real Gone, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 28.99
A hell of a record from the obscure George Scott – a singer who never hit much fame after this, but who really knocks it out of the park with a righteous deep soul style! Backings are more stripped-down than you'd expect from the date – much more like some indie soul set from the late ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gil Scott-Heron —
Free Will ... LP Flying Dutchman, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
A really tremendous album from the legendary Gil Scott-Heron – and a set that stands as one of his greatest statements from the 70s! The record is a wonderful example of Gil's work in two different styles – sweet mellow jazzy soul, and harder heavier protest poetry – the latter ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Scorpio reissue.)
Gil Scott-Heron —
Revolution Will Not Be Televised ... LP Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 26.98
A set that wasn't initially conceived as a full album by Gil Scott-Heron – but one that's come to be an essential part of his catalog, thanks to the always-relevant title theme! The album's actually a classic collection of work from the early years of Gil Scott-Heron at the Flying Dutchman ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gil Scott-Heron —
Secrets ... LP Arista, 1978. Near Mint- ... $26.99
A key crossover set from Gil Scott-Heron – still every bit as political as his earlier work, but with a stronger sense of soul as well! The great Brian Jackson is firmly in tow here – bringing warm keyboards and a nice little groove to most of the tracks – and the previous ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has faint ring wear and light edge wear.)
Nina Simone —
At The Village Gate ... LP Colpix, 1961. Very Good ... $13.99
An album recorded relatively early in the career of singer Nina Simone – but a set that already shows the very unique approach that would make her a legend by the time the 60s moved on! Even the very first tune is a stunner – a haunting reworking of the favorite "Just In Time" ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sly & The Family Stone Greatest Hits ... LP Epic, 1970. Very Good Gatefold ... $6.99

SOS Band —
On The Rise ... LP Tabu, 1983. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

The core group are very much at home in the studio – and have this cohesive sound that really comes through right away ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Spinners —
8 ... LP Atlantic, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Eight Atlantic albums, and The Spinners are still going strong – sounding really wonderful here, thanks to Philly backings from the great Thom Bell! The album's not filled with hits, but that's a big part of its charm – as the group still sounds great, with smoother than smooth vocals ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch and light wear.)
Gordon Staples & The String Thing —
Strung Out ... LP Motown, 1970. Near Mint- ... $34.99
A damn funky record – way more so than you might expect from the "string" in the title! The group's kind of an answer to the Soulful Strings ensemble headed by Richard Evans for Cadet/Concept in Chicago – and like that group, it mixes up funky rhythms with some sweet large ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Cover has a slight bump in one corner, but this is a great copy overall.)
Starpoint —
Sensational ... LP Elektra, 1987. Near Mint- ... $1.99
Sensational sounds from Starpoint – an overlooked set from 80s, and one that has the group working with contemporary soul maestro Preston Glass!

(Cover has a stained corner and light wear.)
Strikers —
Strikers ... LP Prelude, 1981. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Classic album of NY club grooves, including their big hit "Body Music", mixed here by Francois Kevorkian and Larry Levan. Unlike a lot of groups on Prelude, these guys didn't seem to cut a whole lot of singles or LPs, but like a lot of the Prelude stable, this album's filled with catchy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has large letters in marker on both sides and writing in pen. Labels have some pen.)
Donna Summer —
Love To Love You Baby ... LP Oasis/Casablanca, 1975. Very Good ... $9.99
One of the first great moments of the Munich disco scene of the 70s – an electric batch of soul served up in support of Donna Summer's landmark title hit! The set features the full 16 minute version of "Love To Love You Baby" – done as a monumental suite that dips, turns, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, and is bent a bit at the edges and front panel.)
Sylvers —
Forever Yours ... LP Casablanca, 1978. Near Mint- ... $8.99
After cutting some pop disco crossover work for Capitol, the Sylvers finally get the chance to do the real deal here for Casablanca – grooving on tunes that burn stronger and groove longer than before – and which really set the scene for the bass-heavy funk of west coast groups to come! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Temptations —
Song For You ... LP Motown, 1975. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A tightly funky set from The Temptations – a record that has the group still standing strong in the post-Norman Whitfield years – working here with producer Jeffrey Bowen in a groove that's almost got some P-Funk touches at times! Things are somewhat polished, but still in the best ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

John Tropea —
Tropea ... LP Marlin, 1975. Good Gatefold ... $0.99
The first album from guitarist John Tropea – an ace 70s session musician, who played on countless records for other folks – and a surprisingly great leader and arranger in his own right too! Tropea's working here in a vibe that's clearly influenced by the CTI sound – smooth but ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Turner —
Boss Of The Blues – Joe Turner Sings Kansas City Jazz ... LP Atlantic, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A real classic from blues giant Joe Turner – a singer who burst back to the mainstream on 50s Atlantic Records, thanks to a host of R&B singles that burned up the charts – but who here returns to his roots, and lays down a great set of jazzy tunes that get back to his roots in the ...

Muddy Waters —
Fathers & Sons ... LP Chess, 1969. Near Mint- 2LP ... $19.99

Ann Arbor Blues Festival 1969 – Vol 2 ... LP Third Man, 1969. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
A fantastic document of the first-ever Ann Arbor Blues Festival – the start of a great event that would blossom into other styles of music in the 70s, but which stood as a strong blues-based event in its initial year of 1969! In some ways, the three day series of concerts is a roots answer ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Eccentric Boogie (blue vinyl pressing) ... LP Numero, Early 80s. New Copy ... $21.99 26.99
The folks at Numero bill this set as "the only boogie record you'll ever need to own" – and while we might take issue with that, as there's so many great boogie records out there in the world, we can say that the set features some great 80s-styled groovers from their never-ending ...
