One of the greatest groups that Phil Spector ever got his hands on – and one of the most infamous, too! The Veronica mentioned on the cover is the young Ronnie Spector – who sounds wonderful here in a mode that's part little girl-fragile, part grown up-sexy – balanced beautifully ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Whitfield, 1980. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A well-rounded little set from Rose Royce – one that has the group hitting equally on uptempo funky tracks and chilled-out mellower numbers – the latter of which feature plenty of sweet moogy touches, in the group's best mode! There are standout moments, but overall the album has more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Diana Ross —
Red Hot Rhythm & Blues ... CD RCA, 1987. Used ... $3.99
An overlooked gem from Diana Ross' 80s years – a record that's quite different than her Motown music of the 60s and 70s, but in a way that really shows the singer stepping out and trying something new! The album's maybe more soulful than some of Diana's previous albums – thanks to work ... read more CD

RCA, 1982. Used ... $9.99
Diana Ross really finds a way to remake her groove here – a sweet new sound that fits her revamped look in the Andy Warhol image on the cover! Although Ross could sparkle strongly during the disco years, the best cuts here are some of the more midtempo moments – nicely spaced out in ... read more CD

Chess, 1964. Near Mint- ... $16.99
One of the greatest female soul moments on Chess Records in the 60s – and that's saying a lot, given that the label also recorded Etta James!

Chess/MCA, 1967. Used ... $24.99
Amazingly baroque soul by this legendary crossover group from Chicago!

Rotary Connection —
Rotary Connection ... LP Cadet, 1967. Very Good+ ... $13.99
One of the best Rotary Connection albums for Cadet – with an incredible baroque spacey soul sound that still feels very fresh today! The group's vocals are especially eerie – and float around these wild arrangements by Charles Stepney, peppered with strings, soul, fuzzy guitars, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Janus, 1973. Very Good+ ... $29.99
A very strange record that mixes funky backing with steel guitar playing, for a weird guitar-based soulful sound that's unlike anything else we can describe! Harvey Mandel produced the album, and it's got a little bit of the feel of his work from the same time, but the drums are tighter, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
