Now Again, Early 70s. Near Mint- 2LP ... $19.99

Epic, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99 24.99
Early early work from Aretha's foxy sister – recorded in a mode that's similar to some of Aretha's Columbia work from the same period!

(Yellow label Epic SP pressing. Vinyl is very clean, but has a short click on one track.)
Columbia, 1986. Near Mint- ... $1.99
A bit late in Rodney's classic years for Columbia, but still pretty darn nice – although certainly much more of a soul album than before!

One Nation Under A Groove ... LP Warner, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
An instant classic the day it was released – and a perfect blending of the group's older freaked-out style with a slick late 70s funk sound that started showing up in the work of many other groups.

Never Can Say Goodbye ... LP MGM, 1975. Very Good+ ... $4.99

Duke, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Classic work from Joe Hinton – a labelmate to Bobby Blue Bland and Little Junior Parker on Duke Records, but an artist who was a bit more jazzy! The set includes his classic "Funny" – plus "If It Ain't One Thing", "Be Ever Wonderful", "The Whole Town's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s green label pressing. Cover has light wear, some aging, splitting at the bottom of the spine, a promo sticker in front, and a round sticker in back.)
Vee Jay, 1961. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Hardly a folk album, despite the title – and instead a wicked batch of raw bluesy numbers from the mighty John Lee Hooker! Two of the album's tracks were recorded live at the Newport Folk Fest, but the rest were done back in Chicago – with lots of gritty vocals and guitar from Hooker, ...

Bluesway, 1969. Very Good+ ... $34.99
John Lee Hooker gets some great treatment here – working in a loose, groovy style for the Bluesway label – and getting a nice dose of funk right down at the core!

(Original pressing. Includes the ABC inner sleeve. Cover has surface wear, a promo sticker, and a number in pen.)
Stax, 1969. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A fantastic pairing of soulful talents – the legendary John Lee Hooker on the mighty Stax Records – in a set that's a real standout in the career of both! The vibe here is different than the usual sound of Stax – not a Memphis-ized John Lee Hooker, but instead the kind of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Remined/Colemine, 1970. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A lost Ohio soul treasure – the initial effort by a singer with a hell of a voice, but one who languished in obscurity after the poor response to this debut LP! Barbara Howard really knocks it out of the park here – singing like a deep soul diva with a hell of a lot of power and focus ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Pink vinyl reissue #00504.)

Howlin Wolf Album ... LP Cadet, 1968. Near Mint- ... $79.99
A killer album of funky blues – recorded by Howlin Wolf during the period when Chess/Cadet was backing its older artists up with some of the newer funk musicians it had working in its studios! The overall sound works quite well – and although purists at the time moaned at the way ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Freddie Hubbard —
Splash ... LP Fantasy, 1981. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Freddie Hubbard makes a sweet splash for the 80s in this great little set – one of his last electric outings before a return to more acoustic modes! The vibe's a bit leaner than some of his late 70s albums, with most of the electricity coming from the bass, and from the keyboards by Chester ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Cotillion, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99 6.99
A nice batch of Memphis soul tracks, produced in a sparkling modern vein, with some very nice moments. The title cut's a remake of the Seals & Crofts track "Closer", but the best cuts are the ones written (or co-written) by the great Bettye Crutcher (of Stax fame). These include the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, a cutout notch, and some fading at the edges.)
ABC, 1978. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Excellent early work from Al Hudson – a soulful talent who stood his own in the late 70s, forging an up-tempo funk sound that lived long past disco, and which was sort of a platform for groups of the 80s to build a new dancefloor sound. Hudson relied heavily on bass-y funk to hit his groove, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
