Chess, Early 1960s. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Two vocal group classics by the Corsairs – an excellent group graced by the unique lead vocals of Jay Bird Uzzel! "Smoky Places" is a sad and dreamy ode to the places two secret lovers have to meet – but "Thinkin" is the real winner here. At the first listen, the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

(Black label pressing with a blue & white Chess Group sleeve.)
Chess, 1962. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A fantastic lost harmony cut on Chess! "Lonely Baby" has a post doo wop sound that's wonderful – with Ty's vocal out in the lead on a sad lyric, while tenor blows in the background, and a group comes in on the chorus to punch things up a bit. "Gladness" has a great sound ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Radiants —
Another Mule Is Kicking In Your Stall/Chess, 1969. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Two nice cuts of trippy Chicago soul by this great group that never really made an album, and who don't ever get reissued as much as we'd like. Charles Stepney arranged, Bobby Miller produced, and the material is similar to some of The Dells' weirder stuff on Cadet! 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a lightly wrinkled Chess sleeve.)
Radiants —
Ida Mae Foster/Chess, 1969. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Great work by The Radiants – arranged here by Charles Stepney, with a tripped-out sound that's like the best late 60s work by The Dells! "Ida Mae Foster" is a real bit of psychedelic soul, with guitars coming down on the beat, fuzzing things up along with a really loud cello, while ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(In a lightly wrinkled Chess sleeve.)
Chess, 1965. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Sweet soul from one of Chicago's sweetest! "Honey Dear" has Jackie singing with a bit of a sad and wispy tone – almost quiet, but also sad and dreamy. "We Can Do It" is the better track, though – and has this introspective approach at the beginning, then builds ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Chess, 1964. Very Good+ ... $14.99
... 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Black shield label pressing. Vinyl has a melted edge spot, but plays great. In a Chess sleeve.)
Johnny Sayles —
Lilly Mae/Chess, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great bit of funky blues from Chicago! "Lilly Mae" burns with a nice heavy bottom – horns and bass blaring together underneath Johnny's great vocals – hard, rough, and with a west side groove produced by Monk Higgins and Cash McCall. "I'm Just" is a sad sweet ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(With a wrinkled Chess sleeve.)
Chess, 1961. Near Mint- ... $2.99
2 early hits by The Sensations – an early Chess vocal group that featured one female and three male singers! The style made for a playful interchange of vocals that was almost pop, but still retained enough R&B touches to be soul – and the tunes on the single are catchy enough that ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(70s Blue Chip Series reissue, in a Chess Blue Chip sleeve, with a bit of pen and small tears at the top edge.)
Starlets —
Loving You Is Something New/Chess, 1967. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Obscure girl group soul from Chicago – with Charles Stepney arrangements on both sides! "Loving You" is a loping midtempo number, with a sing-song sound that you'd probably guess from the title. "My Baby's Real" is deeper – slower and with a sad sound that reminds ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Billy Stewart —
Summertime (single-sided) ... 7-inch Chess, Mid 1960s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the most incredible pop tracks of the 60s! Billy Stewart's reading of "Summertime" sounds nothing like you've ever heard! The cut has these rolling popping vocals, and a triple-time groove that turns the cut into a dark stormer filled with raw energy. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Billy Stewart —
Summertime/Chess, 1966. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the most incredible pop tracks of the 60s! Billy Stewart's reading of "Summertime" sounds nothing like you've ever heard! The cut has these rolling popping vocals, and a triple-time groove that turns the cut into a dark stormer filled with raw energy. The flipside is very nice, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Manish Boy/Chess, 1954. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Maybe one of the most famous Muddy Waters songs ever recorded – served up here in all its fantastically raw glory! The tune's got Waters playing a famous electric guitar vamp that may well have become the blueprint for countless bar bands to come – but serving up the lyrics with a wit ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
