I Don't Worry About A Thing ... LP Atlantic, 1962. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Early Atlantic Records work from the great Mose Allison – easily one of the most unique jazz artists of his time!

Mose Allison —
Mose Alive ... LP Atlantic, 1966. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Mose's mid 60s albums for Atlantic – recorded live, with a bit more of a hip flair than some of his earlier work for Prestige and Columbia, but still with those great vocals that went onto influence a generation of beatnik jazz singers.

(Stereo blue & green label pressing.)
Atlantic, 1972. Very Good+ ... $6.99
It's the early 70s, and Mose is still going strong – grooving with a unique blend of New Orleans soul and Northern jazz influences, his own particular brand of music, timeless from the day it was born!

(Cover has light wear.)
Atlantic, 1966. Very Good- ... $8.99
Mose Allison creates a very swinging machine for this classic Atlantic Records set – by adding in a few horns to his usual trio, and making for a groove that's even jazzier overall!

Bey first rose to fame as part of the vocal trio, Andy & The Bey ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Oscar Brown Jr —
Brother Where Are You ... LP Atlantic, 1973. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Sweet 70s funk from the great Oscar Brown – quite a change from his jazz-based work of the 60s, but a great new sitting for all of his wonderful wit and warmth!

Oscar Brown Jr. —
Movin' On ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A sweet bit of funky jazz vocals from Oscar Brown Jr – recorded during his early 70s stay at Atlantic Records, in a style that's very different than his early work! The tracks are all still original numbers by Oscar – penned with that clever bad-rapping approach to the lyrics that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1961. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Ray Charles in a nicely maturing mode – on a record from later in his Atlantic Records years, definitely paving the way forward for his 60s classics on ABC!

Ray Charles —
Ray Charles Story Vol 2 ... LP Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A collection of Ray's incredible work for Atlantic during the late 50s – a mixture of hard grooving R&B tunes and more jazz-based mellower numbers, all done in that stripped-down raw style he was using at the time, one that was a lot harder than his later work for ABC. Titles include ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ray Charles —
Tell The Truth ... LP Atlantic/Charly (UK), 1950s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A tasty compilation that features 16 of Ray's best rhythm & blues sides cut for Atlantic records during the 60s!

Atlantic, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99

Chris Craft ... LP Atlantic, 1958. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Chris' Craft is a great one here – beautifully simple and straightforward jazz vocals, served up at a level that few other singers can match!

Chris Connor —
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not ... LP Atlantic, 1956. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic cover, and some great music to match – a key early classic in Chris Connor's late 50s run for Atlantic Records!

Chris Connor —
I Miss You So ... LP Atlantic, 1956. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful title for a beautiful record – one that sums up the subtle sense of sadness that makes the work of Chris Connor so great!

Chris Connor —
Portrait Of Chris ... LP Atlantic, 1960. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
A very moody album from Chris Connor – one that features arrangements by Ronnie Ball and Jimmy Jones, on a somber set of songs that makes the album one of Chris' darkest for Atlantic!

Atlantic, 1959. Very Good ... $4.99
A lovely side by Chris Connor for Atlantic, recorded not too long after her stint at Bethlehem – where she'd perfected an icy cool style of singing that's still to be matched to this day!

Peggy Lee —
Let's Love ... LP Atlantic, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Just A Little Lovin' ... LP Atlantic, 1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Carmen McRae —
Sound Of Silence ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of Carmen McRae's great 60s albums for Atlantic Records – a set that's still strongly jazz-based overall, but which seems to have an extra dose of soul at the bottom! The approach is a bit like the best late 60s sides by Nancy Wilson or Marlena Shaw – rooted in jazz, but hipper ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green & red Broadway label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear, some aging, and a round sticker in back.)

Atlantic, 1955. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A classic album of Cole Porter tunes – sung by Mabel Mercer with just a bit of tinkling piano in the background!

Esther Phillips —
Burnin' – Live At Freddie Jett's Pied Piper, LA ... LP Atlantic, 1970. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A key moment in the career of Esther Phillips – and a record that really has her shaking off the rougher bluesy styles of the earlier years, and pointing the way towards strong jazz success in the 70s!

Esther Phillips —
Confessin' The Blues ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A 70s album, issued at a time when Esther Phillips was really riding high with her records on the Kudo label – but a set that brings together unissued sides recorded for Atlantic in the 60s!

Esther Phillips —
Country Side Of Esther Phillips ... LP Atlantic, 1966. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A landmark album – not only for Esther Phillips, who's emerging here as a gifted young lady, very different from her R&B years, but also for the genre of country soul, which was emerging to be one of the most important strands in the new music during the 60s. Esther's not fooling around ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Esther Phillips —
Esther ... LP Atlantic, 1966. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Given her start as a rough-hewn child junkie R&B singer, it's hard to believe that Esther's the one singing these beautiful ballads and soul tracks! The album's fantastic, though – and it shows Esther maturing into one of the more fantastic vocalists of her generation. Oliver Nelson, ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Kenny Rankin —
After The Roses ... LP Atlantic, 1980. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Mellow magic from Kenny Rankin – an album that follows nicely from his Kenny Rankin album of a few years before, and which has a relatively similar approach!

Max Roach (with Andy Bey) —
Members Don't Get Weary ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Fantastic stuff, and a record that was virtually the blueprint for spiritual soul jazz in the 70s!

Mel Torme —
Comin Home Baby! ... LP Atlantic, 1962. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of Mel Torme's hippest albums of the 60s – and a strong shift towards more swinging material after some of his mellower work for other labels! There's a bit of electric piano in the mix, and plenty of that Atlantic records pop/soul jazz approach – a take on soul jazz that's similar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1962. Very Good ... $7.99
One of the grooviest Mel Torme albums ever – a smoking little live set that has the Velvet Fog hitting a whole new soulful sound for the 60s – with a leaner groove than ever before!

Mel Torme —
Songs Of New York ... LP Atlantic, Early 60s. Very Good ... $1.99
One of Mel's best non-Bethlehem albums, and a record that's as much a loving tribute to New York as any you'll ever buy! Kind of funny, too, because in Mel's California Suite, there's all this stuff about how lousy New York is – but by the time of this early 60s recording, Mel's clearly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atlantic, 1963. Very Good ... $7.99

Jimmy Webb —
El Mirage ... LP Atlantic, 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The songwriting of Jimmy Webb meets the studio genius of producer/arranger George Martin – for this one-off Atlantic album from 1977, a strange little set that almost has Jimmy sounding far older than his young years at the time! Martin's working in a style that follows nicely from Webb's ... (Rock, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
