Joey ... LP Cat, 1972. Good+ ... $24.99
An excellent early album from the amazing Little Beaver – a set that's also probably one of his best ever – served up with some extra-dope guitar, and nice deep Miami soul production by Steve Alaimo!

Big blues from Little Milton, recorded with a mighty big sound as well – thanks to the cool criss-crossing of soul and blues that was going down at Chess Records in the 60s!

Little Richard doing his much imitated, never bettered thing on the Fabulous Little Richard LP – released near the end of the 50s and featuring emotive r&b numbers he cut in earlier sessions – not all as wild-eyed and fiery as some of his 50s recordings but a soulful thrill!

Specialty, 1957. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A landmark album of hard-rocking soul – and a record that broke open both genres for a generations to come!

Little Richard —
King Of Rock & Roll ... LP Reprise, 1971. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A much rootsier set than some of Little Richard's other work for Reprise Records – a record that almost goes back to the old days, but via the hipper styles of the early 70s!

Chess, 1960s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
A pretty nice little 2LP set – put together in the early 70s, and featuring material that Walter recorded for Chess during the 60s.

MCA/Virgin (UK), 1988. Used ... $8.99
The 80s production tip is perhaps a bit high on this effort by Loose Ends – with maybe a little bit too much of that tinny drum machine groove – but the overall quality of the record is still pretty high when compared to other soul of the time. Titles include "Life", "Wat ... read more CD

MCA, 1986. Used ... $7.99
In the years before Soul II Soul, Loose Ends were about the closest you could get to real soul from the UK – and this album was one of the group's biggest in the US. The record's got a sweet jazzy style that nicely offsets its heavy use of drum programs and keyboards – giving it a ... read more CD

Arista (Japan), 1979. Used ... $18.99
A landmark set of fusion from Jeff Lorber – the major label debut of his group, and the virtual blueprint for a sound that many would try to copy over the years, but never quite match!

Roulette, 1975. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A sweet set of 70s Latin Disco – less Afro-Cuban than you might expect, but a great illustration of the way that older Latin modes had filtered down to more mainstream dancefloors at the time!

A very nice album of sexy 70's instrumental stuff from Tony Hatch, smoothed out, and given a midtempo groove that sounds a lot like the Mystic Moods from this time.

A&M, 1981. Very Good+ ... $3.99
LTD without Jeffrey Osborne, and sounding pretty darn great – moving here in a boogie-centrist groove that's heavy with bass on the bottom!

A&M, 1974. Very Good ... $8.99
The first record by LTD – and an excellent bit of 70s soul that has the group working at their tightest!

Massively solid boogie work from Jeffrey Osborne and LTD – still grooving beautifully at the end of the 70s, and working here with top-shelf production from Bobby Martin! The set's got that buoyant LTD groove that was a perfect foil for Osborne's soaring vocals – a sound that never ... read more CD
