A killer from the early days of The Supremes – and way more than you'd guess from the "hits" in the title!

Joe Turner —
I Don't Dig It ... LP Jukebox Lil (Sweden), 1940s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $4.99
Excellent work from this lost time in the career of the great Joe Turner – material after his early work with Count Basie in the 30s, but before his rock and roll revival on Atlantic in the 50s! (Blues, Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a rip on the back with a strip of clear tape.)
Elektra, 2005. Near Mint- 2LP ... $34.99
She's back, with another dose of ear candy for those of you who didn't get enough first time around. Timbaland's absent in the producer's seat, but the ghost of his sound is there as Missy Elliott lends a hand on most tracks, with a spare, heavily hip hop influenced vibe. We're not going to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes insert.)
Elektra, 1979. Sealed ... $14.99 19.99
Jazzy soul all the way through – and a great little album from Lenny White and the Twennynine combo – a group that features some especially great keyboards from the great Don Blackman! The style here's a bit like some of Blackman's own work – rooted in fusion, but focused towards ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed, with a light sticker spot.)
Prelude, 1983. Near Mint- ... $34.99
Pretty great stuff from Unlimited Touch – grooving here in a sound that's got a bit more of an 80s feel than their previous album, but which still works well for their dual-female vocal lead style. There's a bit of an electro "wheeet" in some of the tracks, but the vocals and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp.)
Blue Thumb, 1972. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $39.99
Plenty of darkness here from Phil Upchurch – those great tones and notes he worked so well back in the 70s – all with that near-perfect quality that made him one of the most in-demand players of his day! The style here is a bit different than some of Phil's previous work in Chicago ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a touch of light wear on the top seam but looks great overall!)
LaFace, 1997. Near Mint- ... $99.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has minimal wear and a hype sticker.)
Stax, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $36.99 49.99
One of the most fantastic soundtracks of the 70s – and maybe even of all time – thanks to a non-stop blast of insane styles and grooves – all quite different than other blacksploitation records of the time! For this, his masterpiece film, Melvin Van Peebles composed a non-stop ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has minimal wear.)
Luther Vandross —
Busy Body ... LP Columbia, 1983. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Classic 80s work from Luther Vandross – the kind of record that catapulted him from the soul music shadows into the major mainstream of the time! The style here is a fair bit more electric than some of Luther's music of the 70s, but the sound is still silky, soulful, and sensuous – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Luther Vandross —
Night I Fell In Love ... LP Epic, 1985. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Titles include "Til My Baby Comes Home", "Creepin", "Other Side Of The World", "It's Over Now", and "If Only For One Night". LP, Vinyl record album

Motown, 1984. Near Mint- ... $7.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has minimal wear.)
Warner, 1982. Very Good ... $7.99
The only record from this group that would sort of morph into Apollonia 6, one of many Prince vehicles during the 80s. As you'd hope from a Prince side project, the tracks here bubble with his new wave/pop/funk crossover, though really the hit "Nasty Girl" is pretty much the only ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Maurice John Vaughn —
Generic Blues Album (Alligator pressing) ... LP Reecy/Alligator, 1984. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Vibrations —
Watusi ... LP Checker, Early 60s. Very Good ... $44.99
Hard grooving early work by The Vibrations – recorded before their sides at Okeh, with a style of rough-hewn soul that's very much in keeping with their hit "The Watusi". The album's got plenty of great numbers, very much in a Chicago dance mode of the 60s – and titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label pressing - nice and clean. Cover looks great on front, but has a small bit of splitting on the bottom seam.)
Casablanca, 1978. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A real breakout album for The Village People – thanks largely to the hit "YMCA", which had surprising play at the time – and has gone onto become one of those ballpark hits that everyone seems to sing completely un-self-consciously! The group are still working here in a New ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available YMCA (aka Cruisin) ... CD 2.99(Japanese pressing, including obi & insert – VIP 6595.)
Casablanca, 1979. Very Good ... $3.99 7.99
The only "west" these guys have gone is the West Village – the home of their aesthetic, and a post-Stonewall playground that was getting very firmly noticed by the mainstream by this point! The album's their last big one for Casablanca – and features arrangements from Horace ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, including obi & insert!)
Voyage —
Fly Away ... LP Marlin, 1978. Sealed ... $1.99
The second US album from Euro disco outfit Voyage – a group who manage to bring in some nice progressive and jazzy elements to the mix! There's almost a jamming rock-gone-disco approach to a few of the best numbers – thanks to a strong use of heavy guitars and keyboards, and a real ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Fly Away ... CD 8.99(Still sealed!)
Coed, 1960. Very Good- ... $1.99
Great work from Adam Wade – a slightly overlooked singer of the 60s, and one who steps out here in a great mix of soul styles and fuller vocal modes! Wade often has the kind of mature sophistication that could rival Johnny Mathis – and a number of cuts here are certainly cut from a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split top seam, half split bottom seam, light surface wear.)
Atlantic, 1979. Very Good ... $1.99
One of Narada Michael Walden's tighter records of the 70s – a tight batch of soul tracks that steps off of his spiritual roots into a sound that points the way towards 80s groove! Narada's on piano and percussion, as well as vocals – and the rest of the group grooves heavily in a mix ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve. Cover has light wear, bent panels, small center split in the spine, and ink stamps inside the opening.)
SOUL, 1968. Very Good+ ... $6.99 8.99
Heavy duty instrumentals from this legendary Detroit tenor giant! This album's one of Jr's best – recorded with a rawer tone than later work, almost a mixture of funky 45 and R&B grooving. Motown favorites like "Come See About Me" and "What Does It Take To Win Your ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Includes Motown inner sleeve. Cover has light ring and edge wear.)
