Cadet, 1972. Very Good ... $8.99
A wonderful record from the Dells – with stellar Cadet production and arrangements by Charles Stepney! This one has a very cool way of putting the tracks together, so that there's these little "segues" in between each cut – short instrumental grooves that are actually quite ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cadet, 1968. Very Good ... $7.99
Fantastic bit of Chicago soul, featuring the Dells at their most mature, banked in amazing arrangements by the great Charles Stepney. There's a long version of "Stay In My Corner", plus the great title cut, and two fantastic tracks that have some great John Cage-esque prepared piano on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo pressing. Cover has light edge wear and a hype sticker.)
Mercury, 1975. Very Good ... $3.99
A big move to Mercury for the Dells, after a pretty successful run at Cadet in the late 60s and early 70s – but the group's still in fine form vocal-wise, and on many of these they're still working with the great Don Davis, who gave the band a strong 70s soul groove, similar to his work with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mute (UK), Early 80s. Very Good ... $13.99
Arguably one of their most perfect moments ever – a sublime blend of noise and funk! Titles include "Kinderfunk", "Osten Wahrt Am Langsten", "De Panne", "Nacht Arbeit", "Gewalt", and "Gib's Mir". (Rock, Soul) LP, Vinyl record album

Speed, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
One of the weirdest, coolest Latin Soul albums we've ever heard – the only offering ever from the duo of Dianne & Carole – two female singers who come off with a great deal of enthusiasm on the set! That's our way of saying that the ladies are a bit rough on the vocals – but ... (Latin, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chess, Late 50s/1960s. Near Mint- 2LP ... $19.99
A nice little collection of Bo Diddley's earlier work for Chess – put together in the early 70s, when Bo was in his Black Gladiator phase, as pictured on the cover – but featuring the rawer, rougher grooves of his initial recordings in the late 50s and early 60s! The Bo Diddley groove ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing – in great shape!)
Chess, Late 50s. Sealed ... $14.99
Raw, ragged, rough, and ready – killer early work by Bo Diddley, clearly in a class by itself! The Bo Diddley groove isn't blues, isn't soul, and isn't R&B – it's instead a mad blend of rhythm, scratchy guitar, and spontaneously playful vocals that few other singers could ever hope ...

(80s pressing, still sealed with some shop stickers.)
Chess, 1967. Very Good ... $29.99
A Chicago blues trifecta – and the first time ever that Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, and Little Waters ever worked together!

Baby Grand/Everland (Austria), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
These disco ladies are pretty darn great – a lot more deep-voice than some of their club contemporaries – at a level that makes the record way stronger than just another album of grooves! The girls work in trio format – but the record has an approach that puts the vocals first, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chess/P-Vine (Japan), Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Very obscure work on Chess – Texas and west coast artists, some recorded in Chicago – with tracks by Johnny Fuller, Jimmy Nelson, King Solomon, Clarence Green, Jimmy T99 Nelson, Percy Mayfield, and Floyd Dixon – all artists who are better known for recordings on Specialty or ...

Willie Dixon —
I Am The Blues ... LP Columbia, 1970. Very Good+ ... $24.99
A long-overdue recognition of the blues contributions of Willie Dixon – a set that pulls him out of the indie ghetto and pushes him firmly into the mainstream with this key release on Columbia Records! Yet despite that placement, the style is nicely down home – a strong recreation of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has some ring & edge wear.)
Still Music, Mid 90s. New Copy 3LP ... $24.99
The sound of Chicago acid house, all filtered through the energy of the west coast rave scene – which was home to DJ Spun and Dhyan Moller when they recorded these tracks!

Minit, Late 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
Nice album of funky organ instrumentals, recorded for the legendary Minit label by Gene Dozier, who went onto arrange some monster funk cuts in the 70s! As might be expected, a number of the cuts on here are covers of contemporaneous soul standards – like "Watermelon Man", "Sou ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove.)
Demon, 1983. Near Mint- ... $19.99
One of Lamont Dozier's last solo records – recorded in 1983, after his big one-shot album at Columbia, and a record that appears to have tanked before really hitting the record racks. The most common issue of it is a later Demon UK reissue – but whatever the source, the material's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Dutch pressing.)
Invictus/Demon (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 27.99
A massive album by Lamont Dozier – probably his best ever! Every cut's a winner, and the LP shines with a sharpness and tightness that's missing from some of Lamont's other LPs from the 70s.

ABC, 1973. Very Good ... $7.99
Fantastic soul from Lamont Dozier – his first LP as a solo artist, and one of the best debuts of the 70s!

Atco/Get On Down, 1968. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 26.98
Seminal work from Dr John – one of his key late 60s albums that set the world on fire at the time – and which still stand as some of the doctor's greatest achievements! The approach here is a fantastic abstraction of older New Orleans roots – not nearly as rigid as in some of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atco, 1972. Very Good Gatefold ... $24.99
A rootsy classic from Dr John – an early 70s set in which he turns his talents to a bunch of older New Orleans soul and blues tracks, but serves them up in a style that still has plenty of his mystic gumbo in place! After the freer-wheeling longform sprawls of his more psychedelic albums, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing with GP etch, including the insert. Cover is stained and flaky at the bottom.)
Volt, 1974. Sealed ... $3.99
A great third album from The Dramatics – a really strong effort that retains many of the best elements of the earlier records, particularly the mellow soul side of the group!

(Cover has a cut corner with a small stain.)
Dramatics —
Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get ... LP Stax/Volt, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $29.99
A fantastic album by The Dramatics – with a harder funkier sound than you'll find on most of their other records of the time – a gritty gem from the group's early years, and a record that really deserves its placement on the Stax label! The record has the group moving into a post-Tempta ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Playback, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $8.99
Overlooked genius from The Dynamics – a Detroit soul group of the 60s, and one who never fully got the fame they deserved, had they gotten some sort of bigger exposure on Motown!

Celebration ... LP Kapp, 1972. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet LA Latin soul from the great El Chicano!
