A groovy little gem from early 80s RCA – a set that sparkles with the same sort of energy as the label's work with Keni Burke at the time! Steven & Sterling are a hip duo who trade vocals back and forth nicely – working over rhythms that are mellow and midtempo, often with a hip ... read more CD

That's a young Sly Stone on the cover – looking mighty slick, but not nearly as flashy as during the years of his bigger funk fame – which kind of sums up the excellent sound of this set!

Mirage/FTG (France), 1985. Used ... $9.99
The bass gets plenty of stroke on this mid 80s set – a record that hangs somewhere between 80s groove and Prince-era funk – but with a bit of quiet storm feel at times too! The tunes are pretty lean, not nearly as excessive as they could be – and often, a key instrumental element ... read more CD

A bluesy update on the older style of Nolan Struck – a singer with more of a pedigree in soul, but who'd made a move to a more down-home style by the time of this set.

Warner (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
A nice little live set from Stuff – one that's recorded in Tokyo, with a groove that's a bit more open than their better-known New York live album from a few years later! The sound's somewhat rougher than the Stuff studio sessions, but in a good way – one that shows that the combo can ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Streetwise/Octave (Japan), 1984. New Copy ... $13.99

A whole new sound for The Stylistics – one that has the group working here with Maurice Starr in a sweet 80s street soul style!

Donna Summer's in the hands of 80s pop superproducers Stock/Aiken/Waterman this time around – and the trio give her music just the kind of catchy, bouncy feel of some of their bigger hits for other artists at the time!

It'll All Be Over ... CD S&K/Light In The Attic, 1980. New Copy ... $6.99 15.98
A gospel album from the end of the 70s, but a set that works equally well as a soul album too – thanks to the beautiful presentation of the grooves and the vocals!

Motown, 1966. Very Good+ ... $7.99

Motown (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... $9.99
One of the biggest charting LPs by The Supremes – and one of the best, too! The girls are opening it up a bit here – getting in on some of The Miracles Go Go action of the period, and laying down tunes that have a bit more of a northern groove to them – relying a bit more on a ... read more CD

Motown/Hip-O Select, 1973. Used Gatefold ... $28.99
One of the greatest Supremes albums of the 70s – a rare live Japanese session that wasn't even issued in the US at the time! The album follows strongly in the spirit of the other Motown Japanese live sets of the time – with really tight backings behind the group on stage, and a ... read more CD

Taiwanese compilation including early 60s hits, somehow with Japanese liner notes on the back cover. LP, Vinyl record album
Motown, 1965. Very Good ... $1.99
A strange twist for the girls – not really because the material's country, but because the tunes selected are the kind of country tunes that would often be done in kind of a deep soul mode.

Motown, 1971. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Post-Diana Ross work by The Supremes, but a really great little album – and one that possibly even draws more on a harmony style without the famous diva in the lead!

Motown, 1971. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A follow-up to 1970s pairing of The Supremes and The Four Tops – titled The Magnificent Seven (hence the title on this one!) – and done in a very similar mode.

Columbia, 1988. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Great waves of sound here from Surface – a set that has the trio sounding even tighter and more fluid than ever – perfectly blending midtempo rhythms with their warm and sweet harmony vocals!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has edge wear and a promo stamp.)
Beau Monde (France), 1983. New Copy ... $29.99
A wicked bit of 80s electro soul – one that's heavy on Yamaha keyboards and beats, but which was also recorded in Gabon – which gives the whole record a very different sound than New York material of the time! The rhythms are definitely in the funky soul side of the spectrum, but have ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
SAM/P-Vine (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $22.99
A great set of duet soul from Mike and Brenda Sutton – done very much in the best Ashford & Simpson mode of a few years before, and following a similar career path themselves – given that the Suttons had also written songs for bigger Motown acts in the 70s! There's a warm glow to ... read more CD
Stone Dogg/Alive, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 21.99
One of Swamp Dogg's roughest and rawest albums of the 70s – a real down-home affair that's probably one of the clearest expressions of what Jerry Williams was trying to do with his character!

Gordy/FTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... $11.99

Roosevelt Sykes —
Honeydripper ... CD Prestige, 1960. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Sykes plays piano and sings, and the bluesy group that backs him up includes King Curtis on tenor.

Howard Tate is one of the most overlooked soul singers of the late 60's – and this is his only album from that decade!
