Joe Locascio with Chet Baker —
Sleepless ... LP PA USA, Mid 80s. Near Mint- ...
$7.99
One of the more unusual late entries in the Chet Baker catalog – a set done with Joe Locascio on piano and keyboards, plus guest vocals on one track from Terri Meason! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small corner cut, slightly wavy corners, and is bent at the top right corner.)
Joe Loco was one of the most amazing early Latin piano talents, and in an album like this, you can really hear him go to work in a savage way! On this set, Joe moves all over the keys in a number of different ways – from heavy left-handed stride playing, to light and lovely jazz soloing, to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black label pressing, with deep groove. Vinyl has a short click on the first track. Cover has clear tape on all seams, light surface wear & aging, name in marker on the back.)
Seemed like Joe was always in a mambo mood at the time he was making these sides for Tico – but that's A-OK with us, as the record's a corker – tight little grooves in Joe's best percussion/piano format! A few tracks even have some vibes, which makes for a nice sound – and titles ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Loggins & Messina —
Mother Lode ... LP Columbia, 1974. Near Mint- ...
$24.99
Mother Lode has a somewhat more fuller sound overall – one that's got bits of the western touches you might expect from the prospecting reference in the title – tunes that almost have a Deadwood way of echoing the past, but which come across with a much more 70s LA vibe overall. The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Loggins & Messina —
On Stage ... LP Columbia, 1974. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ...
$7.99
Plenty of body, and even more soul – a great little groove on the record at points, in that slinky, vampy sort of mode that Julie London picked up in the 60s! The album's got Julie taking on a fair bit of R&B and bluesy numbers – still singing in her more jazz-based style, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a spot of sticker residue, faint ring wear, and partially split seams.)
A record that has Julie London already hitting that great "Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakfast" mode of later years – the adult, informed approach that showed that the teasing nude of the 50s had turned into a pleasing woman of the 60s – capable of frank presentation of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing. Cover has light wear and discoloration from age.)
Hard to imagine that Julie London would ever have to ask anyone to make love to her – at least not when she looks as sexy as this on the cover! The album's a key early classic for Liberty – still very fragile, personal, and up-close enough to make you think you might just be able to ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono turquoise label pressing with deep groove. Cover has splitting on all seams, surface wear & aging, small sticker.)
A fantastic album of funky soul – and Shorty's greatest album! Well, it's actually only one of two albums he cut – and the only one that was issued before his untimely early death – but it's a killer batch of tracks that mix together funk, Detroit soul, and a great sense of humor! ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo purple label pressing. Cover has a cutout notch, light surface wear, and a few tiny seam splits.)
Includes "Join My Gang", "You Don't Know What's Right, You Don't Know What's Wrong", "10-5-60", "And She Rides", and "Born To Believe In You". LP, Vinyl record album
French pop meets LA production – and the result is some of the best work ever recorded by A&M Records – a gently groovy, slightly sexy sound that really helped define the label in its early years! Claudine Longet's got a gentle Parisian style of singing that's perfect, simply ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Weird and wild sounds from Screaming Lord Sutch – and a set that has as many "heavy friends" at play as his better-known previous album for Cotillion! As with that set, the vibe here is an odd mix of older beat group styles from mid 60s London, but filtered through a generation ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Los Golden Boys —
Cumbia De Juventud ... LP Discos Fuentes/Mississippi, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ...
$11.99
Youthful cumbia from Los Golden Boys – a combo with a spirit that really lives up to their name – and which is served up here with some very cool use of organ next to more familiar cumbia rhythms! The instrument is lean and spacey – almost otherworldly – and the quality ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Los Sospechos —
Postales ... LP Colemine, 2013. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$29.99
Deep funk, but with a compelling twist – bits of South American styles filtering into the mix from time to time, but in subtle ways that never lose the groove! The album's a soundtrack, but works more like a funk album on its own – and is a great full length follow-up to some of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black vinyl promo pressing. Includes the download card.)
(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and aging, peeled spot from sticker removal, some clear tape at the top seam and spine, and some marker in back.)
Amazing music from the greatest chapter of the legendary Louvin Brothers – the kind of work that's made them a legend for generations! Handpicked Songs features Louvin classics chosen by a reverent group of singers and songwriters that really run the gamut – Dolly Parton, Beck, Kris ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great lost chapter in the career of Darlene Love – a soul singer who's maybe known best for her early work with Phil Spector in The Crystals – but who ended up with a long legacy in music, which is partly added to by this collection! The core of the set features some mid 60s ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Love —
Da Capo ... LP Elektra, 1967. Near Mint- ...
$29.99
A stunning second album from Love – a set that's still without the fuller orchestrations and baroque touches of Forever Changes – but which already shows the group moving in that direction! The rough, gritty edge of the group is very firmly intact – but they've already got a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Recent red vinyl limited reissue with bonus colored 7" single.)
Love —
Love ... LP Elektra, 1966. Very Good+ ...
$39.99
Love's first album – a seminal bit of Sunset Strip rock, and every bit as powerful today as it was in the 60s! The style's a bit sharper-edged than the group's classic and more familiar Forever Changes set, but it's still pretty darn great – a completely fresh batch of guitar-heavy ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo big E red label pressing. Cover has a cut corner, but is great otherwise!)
Quite an obscure one by Love – a mid 70s record that actually has quite a bit of soul in the mix! The album almost seems to be going for a Sly Stone approach – expanding the group past Arthur Lee and crew with a host of additional players that include Harvey Mandel, Bobby Lyle, and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the heavy inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout hole.)
Wonderful work from Love Sculpture – a heavy British trio from the end of the 60s – and one that features a young Dave Edmunds on guitar! There's a slight bluesy undercurrent in Dave's style, but the music also has that tightly compressed sound that would emerge more strongly during ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing. Cover has splitting on the bottom seam, light surface wear, corner bumps.)
A wonderful album by Barry White – a bit later than some of the early 70s hits, but one of his most satisfying records overall! The perpetual favorite on the album is the great groover "Strange Games & Things", a slow sly funky track that's been sampled often over the years, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has ring and edge wear, partially unglued top seam, and a small split in the bottom seam.)
An album of theirs that you don't see that often – with Barry White's takes on popular movie hits. Some of this veers a little to close to the cheesy side of things, but it's worth it for the "Theme From King Kong" alone, an uptempo funk number that has a great almost afro-funk ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
HP Lovecraft drummer Michael Tegza soldiers on with a new group as Lovecraft – with a tighter sound that blends hard driving drums and guitars with more delicate, harmony vocal accented songcraft! It's a far cry from the psychedelic experimentation of HP Lovecraft – but it's actually a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, splitting on the spine, ring wear.)
Here it is – the first Spoonful LP in all its sunny, groovy glory – and the sum is so much more than just a great single! Like the Byrds, the group is built on traditionally structured back-porch melodies. In the case of the Spoonful, jug band influences provide the core rhythmic ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono yellow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has wear, aging, a cutout hole and a mostly split top seam.)
The most understated album by the Lovin Spoonful – and possibly their best work ever! It's really a showcase for leader/chief songwriter John Sebastian and proto-country rock guitarist Zal Yanovsky. "Summer In The City" is the one that buttered the group's bread for the next ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The beginning of an amazing run on RCA for vocalist Jon Lucien – working here in a sublime blend of styles that's way beyond simple soul or standard jazz!

(Original pressing – in great shape! Cover has some light wear, and ringwear that includes a few worn spots on the front.)
A record that boasts a strange image of Arthur Lyman on the front – one that almost makes him look a bit thuggish, despite the affection promised in the title! (A bit of rough trade, perhaps?) The tunes themselves are a love-centered batch of exotic instrumentals – most with "love ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s Picc-A-Dilly pressing, still sealed with a cut corner.)
One of Arthur Lyman's first LPs –- a brilliant set of percussively grooving tracks, modulated at a low tempo, and recorded in the Henry J. Kaiser aluminum dome in Hawaii with a sound that inspired countless other exotic groups. Art plays vibes, and is augmented by percussion and piano, plus ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The set's one of Lyman's early solo dates – recorded Henry Kaiser Aluminum ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Massive work from the great Cheryl Lynn – and a key bridge between late 70s disco and the newer grooves of the 80s club scene! The album's a mix of midtempo groovers with a few mellower tracks – and it's got a tight, slightly jazzy sound that was very fresh at the time, and which still ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono teal & silver label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some ring and edge wear, yellowing from age, tiny split in the bottom seam, and small tears in the back paste-on.)
One of the stranger records on the Paul Winley label – mostly known for its important funk and hip hop recordings! The set features older work by Gloria Lynne, reissued in this 70s package, "by popular demand", as the cover states. Tracks are in the standard Lynne mode – and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s issue. Cover has some ring and edge wear.)

Counterpoint ... LP Marlin, 1979. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
Maybe one of the most soul-based records ever from percussionist Ralph MacDonald – partly because Ralph does a bit of singing, in addition to playing the heavy congas on the cover! Yet the record's still got the core jazz vibe of his other sets from the late 70s – served up with an all- ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
With Gato Barbieri on tenor, Jorge Dalto on piano, Bill Evans on tenor, Alex Foster on alto, Lionel Hampton on vibes, Dave Liebman on soprano, Cecil McBee on bass, Dave Valentin on flute, and Mal Waldron on piano. LP, Vinyl record album
A loving tribute to the late Charles Mingus – one that has a very different sound than the Mingus classics you might remember, thanks to inventive arrangements from Teo Macero! All tunes are originals by Teo, and they've got that shimmering large group style he first perfected in the 50s ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the few 50s small group sessions recorded by Teo Macero as a leader – and one of the best! Macero's probably better known both for his work as an arranger, and as a producer of famous albums at bigger labels – but here, he's working with a quintet in a laidback vibe that really ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A rare album as a leader from Teo Macero – one of the driving forces behind some of the key Miles Davis albums on Columbia Records – and other great jazz on that label too!

Wicked funk from Japanese keyboardist Norio Maeda – also a hell of an arranger, too – as you'll hear on this superb set from the start of the 70s!
