Daptone, 2023. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
A stripped-down take on the debut album from this excellent group – almost like finding a stack of sweet soul 45s that all have instrumental b-sides! The great vocals of the group are gone, but that also brings the spotlight on the wonderful grooves that set the whole thing up – slow-st ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Colemine, 2024. New Copy Gatefold ... $21.99 26.99
A contemporary group, but one who bring out a classic Cali soul vibe – particularly that sound that played very well in East LA back in the day – when mellow sweet soul was the biggest thing on the scene!

Record Kicks (Italy), 2024. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
The Tibbs serve up a very classic style of soul – as you might guess from the retro image on the cover – very 60s-oriented, with hard-driving rhythms from the group's well-crafted lineup, all topped with mighty dynamic vocals from lead singer Roxanne! And sure, this isn't new territory ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jazz Is Dead, 2023. New Copy ... $25.99 26.99
