Current, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A surprising 60s groover! Although organist Doc Bagby cut some very heavy-handed sides for labels like King and Okeh during the 50s, this cool 60's album has him playing in a much lighter, much livelier vein – and with a sound that's a mix of jazz and pop, in the same style as one of our ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Killer work from the late 50's by Chet!

Flying Dutchman, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99

Dauntless, 1963. Very Good+ ... $24.99
A crazy idea – but it works, and wonderfully!
