One of Henry Mancini's grooviest LPs from the 70s – a mixture of tight large arrangements with a smooth funky edge, similar to some of his best soundtrack work at the time! The rhythm section is great – with Harvey Mason on drums and Joe Sample on keyboards, and guitar by David T ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Golden Musicals ... LP Dot (Japan), Late 1960s. Very Good+ Gatefold ...
$2.994.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes obi. Cover has aging, tiny stain on the lower corner.)
Tight orchestral material from Zaccarias, and featuring a set of bossa and samba groovers played by a heavy ensemble reed section. The multiple reed approach works well, and gives the tracks a good punch that while not sounding exactly like classic bossa, does make them groove in a swinging way. ...

New Ebb Tide ... LP London, 1964. Sealed Gatefold ...
$5.997.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Phase 4 stereo pressing, still sealed with light wear.)
Sublime late 50s work from Martin Denny – his third album under the Exotica banner, and almost a deeper and weirder album than the other two! The sound here is extremely haunting – even more freed from conventional melody than the rest, and very fixated on the tonal possibilities that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$36.9948.99
Fantastic! This is Yma Sumac's rock album from the early 70's – and it's got a wild sound that's totally different from any of her work at Capitol! The record includes lots of electric instrumentation, and Yma's voice moves from the exotic to the psychedelic, as she sings along with some ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful tribute to New York from jazz arranger Ralph Burns – perhaps one of the best of that odd postwar genre – the LP-long salute to the Big Apple! This set's got an unusual approach – great instrumentation from Burns, on a par with his more famous jazz scoring of the 50s ... (Jazz, Now Sound)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Comes with the amazing photo book inside – loads of great images and text. Cover has a gloss bubble on one corner, but looks great overall.)
Not the Saul Goodman of binge TV fame, but instead a cool 60s percussionist – when who landles a range of different instruments here on a mix of originals and other percussion-heavy tunes! LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 6 eye pressing with deep groove. Cover has splitting on the top seam and light wear.)

Magic Beat! ... LP Liberty/Premier, Early 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ...
$3.997.99
As the liner notes say, "The Magic Beat is not primitive or ritualistic. To the contrary, it emphasizes the more sophisticated and romantic aspects of rhythmic sorcery." We won't say more, except to tell you that tracks include "Fever", "Ziganette", "Lover" ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
