Gloria Gaynor —
Never Can Say Goodbye ... LP 
MGM, 1975. Very Good+ ... $4.99
The start of a very successful run for Gloria Gaynor – a seminal bit of crossover 70s soul – one that perfectly linked the dancefloor with the airwaves, and managed to take on more than a few living rooms as well!

Genius ... LP P&M/Easy Tempo (Italy), 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $31.99 36.99
A really wild little funky record – one that's got very obscure origins on the Argentine scene of the 70s, and which serves up an unusual blend of soul, funk, and sound library modes!

Jean, 1974. Near Mint- ... $29.99
A classic underground funk set from the 70s – and a record that definitely lives up to the party time promised in the title!

Mushroom (Australia), 1977. Very Good ... $29.99
One of the key 70s gems cut by Australian soul singer Renee Geyer – a vocalist with a tremendous groove, and one who delivers material here that's way different than you might expect! Backing is nice and jazzy, and there's definitely a Chaka Khan/Rufus sort of vibe going on here – on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA (Australia), 1976. Very Good Gatefold ... $24.99
One of the best albums ever from this hip Australian soul singer – a vocalist who was as important to her scene in the 70s as Chaka Khan was in the US!

Island, 1978. Very Good+ ... $4.99
One of Island's ventures into the disco realm, where they took one of their Carribbean acts and married them to modern disco-fied production.

Charger, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $24.99 29.99
A massive LP for Dobie Gray – following on the heels of his hit single, "The In Crowd".

Fantastic work from Marcia Griffiths – the Jamaican singer who first rose to fame in the duo of Bob & Marcia – but who already sounds very much her own woman on this classic set from the 70s!

Cotillion, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99 6.99
A nice batch of Memphis soul tracks, produced in a sparkling modern vein, with some very nice moments. The title cut's a remake of the Seals & Crofts track "Closer", but the best cuts are the ones written (or co-written) by the great Bettye Crutcher (of Stax fame). These include the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, a cutout notch, and some fading at the edges.)
ABC, 1978. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Excellent early work from Al Hudson – a soulful talent who stood his own in the late 70s, forging an up-tempo funk sound that lived long past disco, and which was sort of a platform for groups of the 80s to build a new dancefloor sound. Hudson relied heavily on bass-y funk to hit his groove, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl has light heat, but plays fine.)
Vee Jay/Kent (UK), 1964. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Stellar work by Jimmy Hughes – one of those southern soul talents whose name you've heard, but can't always find on record! Jimmy's best known for his classic Muscle Shoals tune "Steal Away" – and that great number, plus many other similar ones, are presented on this obscure ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(On colored vinyl.)
Wenha/P-Vine (Japan), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 44.99
A really fantastic soul record from the post-Motown underground in Detroit – and one that also has ties to the Tribe Records scene of the 70s! William Odell Hughes is a great soul singer, with an ability to stretch out on a long, sensual line – a quality that's a bit in the territory ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Whiskey, Women &..., Mid 40s/Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A collection of some of vocalist Humes best known songs from the 1940s and early 1950s. Tracks include "Fortune Tellin Man", "Central Avenue Boogie", "Pleasing Man Blues", "Airplane Blues", "Loud Talkin Woman", "You Played On My Piano", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hunt's Determination —
This Is Determination Problems (original pressing) ... LP Ear Wax/Wonderland, 1978. Sealed ... $8.99
An obscure little funky group from Flint, Michigan, one with a tight ensemble sound that's very much in the Earth Wind & Fire mode – complete with a really great horn section, plenty of bass-heavy grooves a the bottom, and a relatively spiritual feel that comes through strongly on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed copy.)
Whitfield/Warner, 1979. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A sweet mix of clubby tracks and mellower moments from Willie Hutch – and an overlooked gem from his late 70s years on Whitfield Records! The set's got Willie definitely digging some of the disco styles of the time, but in a way that's never sellout at all – as his vocals and guitar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp.)
Curtom/Acid Jazz (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
A great little set from Leroy Hutson – proof that he was still going strong through all his years at Curtom! The vibe here is a bit different than his first few records, and you might be suspicious with Leroy wearing a disco shirt on the front – but the sound is wonderful, and only ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

20th Century, 1974. Near Mint- ... $24.99 38.99
A great bit of Chicago soul from the 70s – by a short-lived group who were sort of an offshoot of Brighter Side Of Darkness, who had scored earlier in the decade with the falsetto hit "Love Jones". This one was produced by Clarence Johnson/Star Vue Productions, and licensed to 20th ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, but this is a great copy!)
ABC, 1965. Very Good ... $9.99 11.99
Classic 60s Impressions material, with the legendary lineup firmly in place, and the great Johnny Pate handling all arrangements – really giving them that sense of righteous power that pushed their music past a lot of the previous group soul sounds of the Chicago scene – with a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original mono pressing. Cover has a split top seam, light wear, notes in pen on the back cover. Labels have tiny stickers.)
ABC, 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A new level of pride and power for The Impressions – as you might guess from the bold statement of the title track! It may seem hard to believe from the perspective of the 21st Century, but back in the mid 60s, a message like "We're A Winner" was quite a strong one – a new ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing. Cover has a small split on the bottom seam, name in pen on the back.)
