Chung Sheng (Taiwan), Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Taiwanese compilation including early 60s hits, somehow with Japanese liner notes on the back cover. LP, Vinyl record album
Motown, 1965. Very Good ... $6.99
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. There's still a sparkling quality on the album – and the girls' approach to the tunes is less ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Motown, 1967. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Classier than usual for the girls – as they move over to Broadway for a set of tracks penned by the Rodgers & Hart team, done up in a smooth Motown style that was probably designed to crossover, but which did so less than some of their straighter soul work. Still, even though the idea's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

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 ... Just Sold Out!
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

Switch ... CD Gordy/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy ... $10.99
A seminal bit of seventies soul from Switch, and a record that really helped set the tone for countless others to come in the 80s – no surprise, given that the group's got members from both the DeBarge and Ingram families! There's a warmth here that few others can match – an earnest, ... read more CD

Switch II ... CD Motown/PTG (Netherlands), 1979. New Copy ... $10.99
Quite possibly the best album ever from Ohio funky soul combo Switch – and certainly proof that the hope of Motown in the 80s was in ensemble group funk! This second album holds up really well, and thanks to some sweet production by Bobby DeBarge and Jermaine Jackson, the record's got a warm ... read more CD
Switch —
This Is My Dream ... CD Gordy/FTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... $10.99
One of the last records Switch recorded before Philip Ingram went solo, and the rest of the guys broke off into DeBarge – and an album with some surprisingly sweet soul moments! The funky side of Switch is still stringly in place, but this record has some great little ballads ballads too ... read more CD
Next Plateau, 1993. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Even a few years out of the box, Sybil was still keeping things real – and bringing a deepness back to popular soul that makes most of her records still hold up nicely today. This one features the new jack "You're The Love Of My Life", with a strong midtempo groove, at that pace ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Next Plateau, 1990. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $3.99
Lots of new jack on this one from Sybil, a track that never really seems to go anywhere until Salt N Pepa come in at the end and finish it off. Not Sybil's best moment, but it kind of takes us back. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Jewel, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Crown, 1962. Very Good+ ... $8.99
The title's kind of an obvious overstatement – but it's also a great illustration of the simple and straightforward nature of the album – a set that's got a sound that's far rootsier than you might expect from its date – and which almost makes us feel like we're hearing Roosevelt ...

Earthquake/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
The only album ever issued by Sylk – a southern group with a sound that's tight, but never too slick – nicely indie from production to conception, and very different than other mainstream soul records from the time! The record's part of the great underground tradition of homegrown soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pride/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $13.99
A totally charming record from the wonderful Foster Sylvers – a set recorded back in the days when he was just a kiddie soul phenomenon in the Michael Jackson mode – with some great support from his sisters Pat and Angie! The set's got some of the same blend of sweet soul and sharper ... read more CD
Pride, 1972. Near Mint- ... $43.99
The first album by The Sylvers – a soulful band made up of youngsters from the Los Angeles scene, but who had a lot more going on than some of the other kiddie-soul bands of the early 70s! The group's a sextet at this point, with four male voices and two female ones – coming across as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fantasy, 1977. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sylvester's first album for Fantasy – a reworking of his older groove into one that we love more than any other that he ever used – a smooth modern soul style, not really disco, but with a driving approach that would certainly have worked well in the clubs! You gotta give Syl credit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Melodies International, Mid 90s. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $4.99 12.98
Two mid 90s grooves from this underground British duo – one who were maybe more inspired by the early sounds of Detroit techno than Chicago house – but who also work here with a wonderful way of fusing the best of both! "Daylight" has a warm glow and lean groove – ... (New Grooves, Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

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

Howard Tate captured in action at a 2004 festival date in Denmark – in great voice and with a big, nimble group of players – running through some of his deepest material from throughout his long career! Tate's voice is in top shape on this set – and we can't decide whether it's ... read more CD
Malaco/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. Used ... $16.99
