Mercury, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
One of the best-remembered albums from Greek singer Demis Roussous – a soulful 70s set that's quite a change from his early material in the group Aphrodite's Child!

One of the great "songbook" albums by the Rubber Band – and a very different set than their better-known Hendrix record!

Kapp, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Fantastic harmony soul – in a class by itself!

Motown, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Later Motown work from David Ruffin, but still pretty darn great – thanks to vocals that rise to the top, no matter what the tune!

Who I Am ... LP Motown, 1975. Very Good- ... $2.99
David Ruffin at the height of his solo powers – working in that mature mix of soul and strings that made him one of the more sophisticated Motown talents of the time!
