Epic, 1978. Used ... $3.99
A heavy groove and a heady title that points the way towards Michael Jackson's soon-to-be legendary solo career – all served up in a batch of tracks that resonate nicely with the Off The Wall groove!

Philadelphia International, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
Great stuff – and a key link between the early work of the Jackson 5 on Motown and Michael's later grooves with Quincy Jones!

Victory ... LP Epic, 1984. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Michael Jackson's last album with his famous family – a set of electric 80s soul that's a bit different than Jackson's well-known solo work!

Salsoul/Octave (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $22.99
An overlooked gem from the early 80s years at Salsoul – a set that's beat-heavy, and plenty funky too – with a groove that's nicely heavy on both roller skate and electro modes! The record's a bit more offbeat than the usual Salsoul set – and we mean that in a good way – ... read more CD

Chess/Music On Vinyl (UK), 1975. Used ... $6.99
An excellent set of messed-up funky soul from Etta James – one of her killer early 70s sides for Chess!

Chess, 1973. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Heavy funk from the great Etta James – one of her standout classics from the later Chess years, done with a style that's completely different than her work of the 60s!

Gordy, 1979. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Think what you might about Rick James, this is actually a pretty darn funky album – with lots of tight bass-heavy grooves!

We Can Fall In Love ... LP CBS (Japan), 1976. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of those great 70s albums from Japanese vocalist Kimiko Kasai – a singer who started in jazz, but was equally well-suited to classy, contemporary soul – a mode that maybe made her the equivalent of Marlena Shaw or Nancy Wilson at the time!

Studio Mule (Germany), Mid 80s. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
