Super Dub Disco Style ... LP Pressure Sounds (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... $16.99 18.98

Blackstar (180 gram pressing with download) ... LP ISO/Columbia, 2016. New Copy Gatefold ... $30.99
David Bowie's late career peak arrived just days before he left us!

Kind Of Blue (mono) ... LP Columbia, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 25.98
What can we say? This is the ultimate Miles Davis album – the one that includes so many songs that we've heard way too much in Starbucks, in retail stores, or at a friend's house who claims to be a "jazz expert", but is really a yuppie dilettante.
