... LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black label pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, center split in the top seam, small split in the bottom seam, and a small name and dots in marker in back. Label has a small name in marker.)
Classic stuff by Noro – and a wonderful selection of hard to find material from the 50s! This isn't really a greatest hits album – but it is a good sampling of some of his better (and better-recorded) work during the postwar years, and almost all of the tracks have a nice hard groove ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Late 80s Spanish pressing on Palladium. Cover has a small name in marker on back.)
Beautiful spare sounds from Noro Morales – and an album that really lets you hear his amazing work on the piano! Most of the album simply features Noro's playing, backed by bass and percussion, and no other orchestration – a really stripped-down setting that's even more spare than the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black label mono pressing, with deep groove. Cover has clear tape on the top & bottom seams, some aging & light surface wear.)
Great stuff by Noro – featuring his haunting piano lines spun out over spare backing by percussion only, in a manner that you don't always find on his other recordings. A few tracks have larger orchestrations, but they're still pretty darn tight, and have a great hard sound to them. The set' ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

You may have heard the vocals of Dora Morelenbaum in the group Bala Desejo – but her performance here is very different overall – much more personal, and set up in this wonderful blend of acoustic guitar and vocal brilliance, with a quality that maybe hearkens back to older Brazilian ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Derrick Morgan —
Development ... LP Jaguar/Sutro Park, 1972. New Copy (reissue)...
$20.9922.99
Derrick Morgan's a superstar in Jamaican music, but this album's one of his most obscure – also one of his most righteous too, as you might guess from the gritty 70s image on the cover! The set's got a soulful flow that's in the late rocksteady mode, but also bubbles with some of the roots ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Lee Morgan —
Candy ... LP Blue Note, 1957. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
A very different album for Lee Morgan – especially in comparison with his other early sessions! The record is a gentle batch of ballads and standards, played by Morgan with a quartet that includes Sonny Clark on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Art Taylor on drums – all beautifully ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(200 gram Classic Records pressing – a great copy!)
One of our favorite Lee Morgan albums, and one of his least known – a set recorded in the crucial last five years of his life, and a sparkling mix of hard bop, soul jazz, and slight bits of modernism – that magical mix that Lee was hitting as he reached farther and farther with his ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really unique album from the great Lee Morgan – a set that features the trumpeter in two different settings, but in a way that really works well together! Most of the album has Lee blowing in a very cool quintet – with Joe Henderson on tenor, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s DMM pressing, with Blue Note inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout hole and some shelf wear.)
Lee Morgan on the hippest side of his 60s talents – working here in a style that's really stretching out, and in the same territory as similar unreleased gems from the time – like Tom Cat or Sonic Boom! The group here is very inventive – Jackie McLean on alto, Larry Willis on ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Part of the Blue Note Tone Poet series – heavy vinyl and cover!)
One of our favorite albums ever from the legendary trumpeter Lee Morgan – a set that Blue Note recorded in the mid 60s, but didn't show the world until almost two decades later! The album's got Lee as his lyrical best – working almost with a sense of exoticism, especially on the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Part of the Blue Note Tone Poet series! Beautiful heavy cover and vinyl!)

Rumproller ... LP Blue Note, 1965. Near Mint- ...
$34.99
A great album by Lee Morgan – and one not to pass up! The Rumproller often gets too easily lumped next to The Sidewinder – because of an obvious title and cover similarity to that hit record – but like that one, the album's far more than jazz cliche – and shows Lee Morgan ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(80s DMM pressing. Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the spine and front panel.)

A brilliant album that proves that even at the height of his success, Lee Morgan was one of the freest thinkers on Blue Note – always coming up with fresh ideas that continued to grow his talents! The first cut on the album is keen poof of that fact – the title track "Search For ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A totally great take on the Joe McPhee funky classic "Shakey Jake" – done in a way that's tighter and even more compact than the original – but with some fantastic horn work throughout! There's lots of riffing guitar next to organ over fast-romping drums – and the tenor ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
It's hard to believe that anyone ever took the electronics of Giorgio Moroder seriously enough to think they'd be the right setting for an intensely dramatic thriller like this – but in the decade when Italian thrillers were doing the same thing, it's kind of easy to see. And if you think of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Lorenzo Morresi E Le Isole —
Pop Flop ... LP Space Echo (Italy), 2023. New Copy ...
$32.9936.99
A really cool little record – one that takes an older Italian sound library mode and reworks it with some of the contemporary flavor of the Schema label – but all with live instrumentation that's mighty nice all the way through! Lorenzo Morressi handles bass, guitar, and plenty of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A lost treasure from the legendary Ennio Morricone – a soundtrack written for a crime film starring Charles Bronson and Telly Savalas, and handled with all the spare subtlety of his best work! Bruno Nicolai's directing the orchestra on this one – and isolated instruments include ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Wonderfully experimental music from Ennio Morricone – even darker at times than some of his famous horror soundtracks – and a record that was only pressed up in an initial small sound library run! The music has an offbeat blend of string elements, percussion, and other darker tones ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A landmark record – not only in the history of the western, but in that of Ennio Morricone! The soundtrack, written for this hit Clint Eastwood spaghetti western, is everything you'd want in a 60s western – driving orchestral passages, twanging guitar parts, and spooky little bits that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing with deep groove – 1S/1S. Cover has ring and edge wear, yellowing from age, some splitting in the spine, and a small portion torn off the back paste-on at the top right corner.)
A classic 60s soundtrack from maestro Ennio Morricone – and a set of music that's lasted a lot longer than the film – which starred John Cassavettes in the role of Machine Gun McCain! Morricone's really coming into his own here – and uses some of the drama of his western work, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A cool collection of vocal songs from the world of soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone – many of which are more unusual than some of his bigger themes, and brought together here as a great addition to the Segreto series! The work runs from the early 60s to the early 70s – and the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Sweetness and darkness – perfectly blended together in this classic mid 70s soundtrack by Ennio Morricone! The main theme of the film – "Bambole" – is one of those Mondo Morricone type numbers that floats along on a gossamy sheen – vocals gliding softly over light ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A later date from Audrey Morris – the Chicago singer who's probably best remembered for some classic RCA sessions in the 50s, but who also kept on doing her own thing for decades later in the Windy City! The set's got a very old school feel – quite different than the usual 80s jazz set ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Van Morrison —
Astral Weeks ... LP Warner/Rhino, 1967. New Copy (reissue)...
$22.9925.98
Van's debut album for Warner Brothers and a pretty radical departure from anything he'd done before – breaking all kinds of new ground for his own most creative work and helping pave the way for all kinds of hauntingly poetic rock, folk rock, and singer-songwriter records to come! It doesn't ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A pretty swinging batch of tracks that are very much in the same vein as Buddy Morrow's crime jazz LPs cut for RCA at the end of the 50s! The album features all TV themes from the time, most of them detective ones – like "Richard Diamond", "Perry Mason", "Naked ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Ella Mae Morse —
Morse Code ... LP Capitol, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ...
$19.9929.99
Great work from Ella May Morse – material that's still got some of the raw edge of her postwar 78s, but which also features Billy May bringing a bit more jazz to the backings! LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono turquoise label pressing. Cover has a large split top seam and light surface wear.)
Mos Def's landmark late 90s solo debut – a rock solid classic that stands up today as one of the best hip hop albums of its decade – and for all the dizzying creative highs and lows of his career to follow, it stands strongly among his best work ever. His preceding duo work with Talib ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Pablo Moses —
Revolutionary Dream ... LP Blue Moon/Onlyroots (France), 1978. New Copy (reissue)...
$25.9929.99
A really sweet roots set from Pablo Moses – one that's got some cool electric moments at points, including very cool use of Arp – but which also retains all the earthy core to make the righteous currents of the lyrics come out right! Geoffrey Chung arranged and produced, and there's a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Joshua Moshe —
Inner Search ... LP Le Sape (France), 2023. New Copy ...
$29.9933.99
Joshua Moshe soars out of the gate on this wonderful record – equally great on saxes and keyboards, and working in a style that has him as a solo leader, opening the door to guests on each new track! The approach might be jagged in the hands of another, but there's a very unified vibe here ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The title's not right – as there's plenty of soul and plenty of blues throughout – just the sort of thing we'd expect from Stan Mosley's long legacy of indie recordings from the contemporary underground! We first started hearing Stan's music on the Malaco label at the end of the 90s ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the more obscure albums from this 50s reedman – with Sam on flute and clarinet, in a combo that includes Barry Galbraith on guitar, Billy Triglia on piano, and Marty Flax on baritone! LP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl has a short click on side two, but is very nice overall. Cover has light wear, but no splits – nice too.)
One of the coolest records in the 60s surf/hotrod/motorcycle years of instrumental sets – an album that's partly sound effects from races, and partly instrumental music! There's no credits as to the players, but we're guessing it's the cream of the crop of LA studio musicians, of the sort ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed 60s stereo pressing. Cover has a small bit of light wear in one spot.)
A live counterpart to the first Motorhead album on Chiswick – a set that's got the same weird blend of proto-punk and pub rock – all served up with a bit of a hint of the style to come! The guitars are even heavier than on the studio set – and the drums are too – and there's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s Astan pressing with red labels. Cover has light ringwear, edge wear, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
Tremendous work from the mighty Ed Motta – an artist who never lets us down, and who just keeps getting better as the years move on! Back in the 20th Century, Ed asked us to move his records from our Brazilian section to Neo Soul – a move that was wise on his part, as Motta has become ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Arrangements and production by Michael Zager, in that pop dancefloor style that was making him a rich man at the time! Titles include "Holiday", "Run To Me", "Lonely Days", "Massachusetts", and "To Love Somebody". LP, Vinyl record album

(Includes the Dot inner sleeve. Cover has light wear and unglued left seam.)
A searing standout from Mountain – a studio album, but one that also really captures some of the freewheeling energy that made the group such a great live act at the time – especially given that the studio sessions here are mixed with a bit of improvisation from a live concert too! The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the front panel.)
Solid jamming from Mountain – one of the tightest guitar-based groups of their day, and hard rockers that could serve up a nice dose of soul! Tunes have a great mix of tight rhythms and fierce guitars – a bit dated at times, but with some nice production overall by Felix Pappalardi. ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$14.99
A lost classic from one of the greatest Brazilian sax players ever!

... LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited grey vinyl pressing, still sealed with hype sticker in back.)
The Move are looking a bit fuzzier here than in their earlier years – and they're sounding a bit fuzzier too, but in a way that's totally great! The group's down to a quartet, which seems to bring even more focus on the great vocals of Carl Wayne, and heady guitar of Roy Wood! There's a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original brown label pressing. Cover has surface and edge wear.)
(Stereo pressing – includes original textured box and booklet. Box has splitting on the spine, a razor mark on the front, and a few smudges of light residue on the back.)
A great 70s album from this excellent Brazilian harmony group! Their sound is a different from that of Quarteto Em Cy or Tamba Trio, and their singing is less filled with straight jazzy harmonies than it is some off-kilter vocal lines that weave together and challenge each other throughout the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original Brazilian pressing. Cover has lightly bent corners, some light stains, and tiny chipped spots at the seams.)
Beautiful! This is perhaps one of the greatest records ever by this legendary Brazilian vocal group – and the album's a stunning mix of post-bossa arrangements, and the more baroque sort that some Brazilian groups were using at the time. Roberto Menescal produced the album – and one ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo Blue label pressing. Vinyl plays with surface noise on side 2. Cover has light wear.)
A group with an enigmatic name, and one with a sound to match – as the quintet play together in ways that link late 50s modern jazz with later, more experimental moments – but all with a sense of cohesion that really makes for a hell of a record all the way through! Some tracks are ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
