... LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear and ring impressions.)
Tamla, 1976. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Smokey's Family Robinson finds Smokey exploring rather than simply setting out to continue riding the waves made by Quiet Storm. There's bits of dancefloor funk, pared down keyboard soul, spacey jams and a sweet ballad or two – all with Smokey's soul strirring vocals in peak form. Titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch, ringwear, edge wear, bent corners, and some stains in back.)
Tamla, 1972. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Excellent 70s work by Smokey and crew – sort of their way of showing the emerging east coast vocal stars how much talent they still had! The record has a sweet, slightly modern sound – with an approach that hints at Smokey's later Quiet Storm sound, but maybe a bit more laidback ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Motown, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Who would have thought it? Smokey's great career at Motown was just designed to be inspiration for a TV Special! Who cares, though? The set's still got some of his biggest hits for Motown, if you can get past the title – and tracks include "Mickey's Monkey", "Being With ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing.)
Tamla, 1969. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A great one by The Miracles! Smokey and the group are clearly pushing the envelope here – stretching out for a deeper harmony sound, moving towards some of the smoother styles they'd use a bit more in the 70s. The result is a slightly-confused album, but one with some really interesting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles —
Special Occasion ... LP Tamla, 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99

Motown, 1967. Very Good+ ... $16.99
About as classic as you can get for late 60s Miracles!

Rockwell —
Somebody's Watching Me ... LP Motown, 1983. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of the strangest acts to come from Motown in the early 80s – and almost more of a new wave record than a soul one! The standout hit here is the title track "Somebody's Watching Me" – an odd electro tune that has Rockwell speaking/singing these paranoid lyrics with a vague ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
