ABC, 1965. Very Good ... $9.99

ABC, 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A new level of pride and power for The Impressions – as you might guess from the bold statement of the title track!

Impressions & Jerry Butler —
Vintage Years ... LP Sire, Mid 60s/1976. Sealed 2LP Gatefold ... $7.99
Nifty 2LP set that brings together a motherlode of the Impressions' best material from their ABC years – plus some of Jerry Butler's nice solo material for Mercury from the same time, and a few Curtis cuts from the early 70s.

(Sealed copy with a cutout notch.)
Sound Of New York, 1983. Very Good+ ... $7.99
The other single from one-hit-wonders Indeep. The cut has almost the same feel as "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", with an insistent beat and a propulsive bass pedal, and a sort of chirping funky guitar line, but at a slightly slower tempo. The scratch versions don't actually have ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

H&L, 1977. Near Mint- ... $29.99

Isley Brothers —
Go All The Way ... LP T Neck, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
It's the end of the 70s, and the Isleys are still going strong – keeping it real by dropping some of the fake funk of a few years before, and going for a smooth soul sound that would be one of their biggest strengths during the early 80s. This sound can be heard to perfection on the tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

T Neck/Columbia, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $29.99
A stone 70s classic from the Isley Brothers – a set recorded right at the height of their glory days – at a time when their sound was completely on the money!

T Neck, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
One of the hippest 70s albums by the Isley Brothers – a set that has them playing live with a stripped-down group, in a manner that's similar to other live albums of the time by Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, and Bill Withers. The format is great, and really gets to the core of the Isley's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing with Bell Sound stamp. Cover has some ringwear, edge wear, bumped corners, and center splits in the bottom seams.)
CBS, 1984. Sealed ... $4.99
The first breakaway effort from the trio of Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper, and Marvin Isley – a set that's got an even leaner groove than some of the Isley Brothers material from years before!

I Don't Want To Cry ... LP Wand, 1961. Very Good ... $24.99
A real landmark from soul singer Chuck Jackson – part of a unique wave of male vocalists who really took the music to new heights in the 60s!

United Artists, Mid 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $0.99
10 of Chuck's best soul cuts, originally recorded for the Wand label. This stuff virtually defines the male side of the NY uptown soul sound, as you'll hear in tracks like "Any Day Now", "I Don't Want To Cry", "I Wake Up Crying", "Tell Him I'm Not Home", and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Michael Jackson —
Thriller ... LP Epic, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99

Atco, 1978. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A great remake of the Wet Willie hit – one that's got a soaring, strutting clubby feel that's totally wonderful! The tune's a superb anthem from the old days – and although the hook's a bit commercial, it still sounds plenty great to us after all these years! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Spring, 1977. Very Good ... $6.99
Millie Jackson's feelin bitchy – and letting a whole new side of her talents show!

Spring, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $3.99
Uncensored is right! Millie's live shows during the 70s were a lot raunchier than any of her records – and were usually filled with profanity, off-color jokes, and plenty of frank and foxy references to sex. She'd built her name on record through sweet heartbreaking southern soul sides ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover is great!)
Chi Sound, 1979. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Forget the million times you've heard the schmaltzy title tune of this one – and check out Walter's version!

Columbia, 1981. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Sweet smooth soul from Walter Jackson – recording here in his later years, with a style that's a lot more modern than his classic 60s recordings for Okeh, but still surprisingly nice, and a great evolution of his "Iceman" soul sound!

(Cover is bent a bit at the spine.)
Epic, 1984. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Michael Jackson's last album with his famous family – a set of electric 80s soul that's a bit different than Jackson's well-known solo work!

ABC, 1978. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Although he's always best remembered as Freddy "Boom Boom" Washington from Welcome Back Kotter, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs was pretty darn ubiquitous during the mid-70s!

Heavy funk from the great Etta James – one of her standout classics from the later Chess years, done with a style that's completely different than her work of the 60s!

(Original orange label pressing – a nice copy!)
Atco, 1967. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Although they were a UK soul act, Jimmy James and The Vagabonds were a perfect match for the Atlantic soul stable of the 60s.

Rick James —
Street Songs ... LP Gordy, 1981. Very Good+ ... $16.99
One of the all-time great Rick James albums – a return to funkier sounds for Rick that worked both artistically and commercially – and actually got over far better than his more blatant attempts at crossover material on other records!

Bainbridge, 1965. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Wonderful early recordings from Al Jarreau – cut years before his bigger commercial fame in the 70s, but still with a sublime vocal approach that shows that he was light years ahead of most other singers in the 60s!

RCA, 1977. Very Good ... $9.99
Wonderfully smooth soul from Evelyn Champagne King – one of her real standouts from the early days, and a tremendous collaboration with producer/arranger T Life! The sound here is upbeat and catchy, but never too poppy – done with a slight hint of that groove that King would hit more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing in the cover with a flower border. Cover has some light wear and a promo stamp.)
Freddie King —
Texas Cannonball ... LP Shelter, 1972. Very Good+ ... $39.99
Freddie King first rose to prominence in the 60s as a hell of a guitarist with a penchant for searing licks – but 70s records like this really put him over the top as a vocalist too! The set was done for Leon Russell's Shelter label – and Russell produced and plays piano and organ on ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has some wear & aging.)
Prestige, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Excellent work from the short time that saxophonist King Curtis recorded for Prestige records – mostly on their R&B-tinged Tru-Sound label! Players include Paul Griffin on piano, Billy Butler on guitar, and Jack McDuff on Hammond! (Jazz, Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 70s green label pressing. Cover has minimal wear.)
Konduko, 1979. Near Mint- ... $79.99

(Original pressing – a great copy!)
Malaco, 1979. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A standout classic from Fern Kinney – and a set that not only marked a big moment of evolution for southern soul, but also for the Mississippi scene as well! The set was recorded at the Malaco studios in Jackson, but has a vibe that's much closer to some of the TK Records material from Miami ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Buddah, 1978. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Gladys Knight steps out on her own – in her very first solo album, after years of recording with The Pips! The change has maybe a bit more focus on Knight's incredible vocals in the lead, but the approach is also strongly similar to the best work with The Pips at the same period – with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Secret Stash, 2015. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
A hell of a live set from Sonny Knight & The Lakers – a record that's twice as long as the group's studio session, and maybe twice as smoking as well! Sonny's an older soul singer from years back, but he's never sounded better than working here with funky backings from The Lakers – ... (Deep Funk, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
