Staple Singers —
Unlock Your Mind ... LP Warner, 1978. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Darn nice work from The Staple Singers – a record that seems to take the leaner, meaner sound learned by the group during their soundtrack years, and turn it back towards the fuller, more righteous sound of the Stax years! The album was recorded at Muscle Shoals, with very solid production ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp and light wear.)
Donna Summer —
Cats Without Claws ... LP Geffen, 1984. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A big crossover moment for Donna Summer in the 80s – a set that features lots of keyboard-heavy arrangements from Michael Omartin – who produced the record at a level that really gets the most out of Summer's hook-heavy style! Donna's way past the drama of the disco years here – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, including obi & insert, still in the shrink.)
Donna Summer —
Donna Summer ... LP Geffen, 1982. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A great new chapter for Donna Summer – a set that has her working with the legendary Quincy Jones as producer – who gives the whole album a very different sound! There's still plenty of the catchy, bouncy styles you'd know from Summer's late 70s work – but Jones also brings in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and aging.)
Alfonzo Surrett —
Comin Out ... LP MCA, 1980. Very Good+ ... $16.99
A great bit of boogie from the Chicago scene of the early 80s – a set recorded with a nice jazzy bounce overall, and a strong ear for a catchy hook and tight groove – very much in the mode of Omni or Zoom from the same period! Alfonzo's got a warm vocal style that soars up to falsetto ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Turner —
I Don't Dig It ... LP Jukebox Lil (Sweden), 1940s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $4.99
Excellent work from this lost time in the career of the great Joe Turner – material after his early work with Count Basie in the 30s, but before his rock and roll revival on Atlantic in the 50s! (Blues, Soul) LP, Vinyl record album

Arthur Verocai —
Arthur Verocai ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
Sweet and jazzy pop from early 70s Brazil – a great little album that we'd rank with our favorites by Marcos Valle and Edu Lobo! Arthur Verocai isn't nearly as well-known as those two, but he works in a similar territory – taking jazz, large arrangements, and nice touches of electric ...

Muddy Waters —
McKinley Morganfield – AKA Muddy Waters ... LP Chess, 1950s/1960s. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99

Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band —
Together (cartoon cover) ... LP Warner, 1968. Very Good- ... $24.99
Mad mad funk, and the fantastic second LP by the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band – the group that proved to everyone that LA could be just as funky as any other city in the 60s! The record draws strongly from the group's indie roots in the funky 45 scene – and the album's filled with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Barry White —
Is This Whatcha Wont? ... LP 20th Century, 1976. Very Good+ ... $7.99
