Epic, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Post-Labelle solo work from Nona Hendryx – and a set that very much shows that she's the one who brought all the raw funky power to the group! Unlike Patti Labelle's work from the same time, which was getting smoother and classier, Nona's work here is almost in the vein of rock music – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Monk Higgins —
Heavyweight ... LP United Artists, 1972. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Quite possibly the best album ever from funky maestro Monk Higgins! The record's got some of his tighest work of the time – with plenty of tight breaks, nice keyboards, and soulful sax riffs – and Monk is going full-out on the arrangements, in the manner that he used for his best late ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Duke, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $1.99 9.99

(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+ ... $29.99 34.99

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!

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

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!

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

Hunt's Determination —
This Is Determination Problems (original pressing) ... LP Ear Wax/Wonderland, 1978. Sealed ... $8.99
An obscure little funky group from Flint, Michigan, one with a tight ensemble sound that's very much in the Earth Wind & Fire mode – complete with a really great horn section, plenty of bass-heavy grooves a the bottom, and a relatively spiritual feel that comes through strongly on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed copy.)
Whitfield/Warner, 1979. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A sweet mix of clubby tracks and mellower moments from Willie Hutch – and an overlooked gem from his late 70s years on Whitfield Records! The set's got Willie definitely digging some of the disco styles of the time, but in a way that's never sellout at all – as his vocals and guitar ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp.)
20th Century, 1974. Near Mint- ... $24.99 38.99
A great bit of Chicago soul from the 70s – by a short-lived group who were sort of an offshoot of Brighter Side Of Darkness, who had scored earlier in the decade with the falsetto hit "Love Jones". This one was produced by Clarence Johnson/Star Vue Productions, and licensed to 20th ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

ABC, 1965. Very Good ... $9.99 11.99

(Original mono pressing. Cover has a split top seam, light wear, notes in pen on the back cover. Labels have tiny stickers.)
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! It may seem hard to believe from the perspective of the 21st Century, but back in the mid 60s, a message like "We're A Winner" was quite a strong one – a new ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing. Cover has a small split on the bottom seam, name in pen on the back.)
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.

Ingram —
That's All! ... LP H&L, 1977. Near Mint- ... $29.99
The Ingram Family tighten things up nicely with this follow-up to their first funky album – and they get a slicker sound that points the way towards their excellent modern soul sides of the 80s.

Isley Brothers —
Go For Your Guns ... LP 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, 1981. Near Mint- ... $6.99 8.99
A strong extension of the Isley Brothers' funky 70s style – moving into a more compressed mode that had been taking hold of the group's style over the past few albums – giving them a smoother finish in the end, but one that actually brings out a deeper level of soul in the music! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
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

CBS, 1984. Near Mint- ... $1.99 2.99
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!

(US pressing, FZ 3987. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
CBS, 1985. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A huge 80s moment for the Isley Brothers empire – a set that has Ernie and Marvin Isley stepping away from the main group with Chris Jasper – to reinvent their sound for the 80s!

United Artists, Mid 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $1.99
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

The first of six "comeback" albums that this great Chicago soul singer cut during his second wave of recording during the late 70s!

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!

Jackson 5 —
Soul Source – Jackson 5 Remixes ... LP Motown/Universal (Japan), Early 70s. Near Mint- 2LP ... Just Sold Out!
What a great idea! The classic Motown work of The Jackson 5 is remixed and remade by a host of super-hip producers!

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!

Chess, 1950s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A great entry in the Chess Heritage Series at the end of the 60s – one that features rare 50s Chicago recordings by Elmore James, plus some even more obscure sides by lesser-known singer John Brim!

Argo, Early 60s. Very Good ... $38.99

Argo, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $38.99 44.99
Queen of Soul is right! Heck, on these early albums, Etta practically invented soul – or at least invented a deep soul style of singing that would be taken up by countless other female singers during the 60s, but rarely matched with this kind of brilliance. Straight up beautiful stuff! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atco, 1967. Near Mint- ... $9.99 24.99
Although they were a UK soul act, Jimmy James and The Vagabonds were a perfect match for the Atlantic soul stable of the 60s.

We Got By ... LP Warner, 1975. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Al's first major label record – cut when he was an emerging soul jazz vocalist, but before he'd gone totally over the top in super-slick hit mode.

United Artists, 1960. Very Good ... $11.99 28.99
Early Detroit soul – the second LP by the great Marv Johnson, one of the first talents to be supervised by a young Berry Gordy!

A strange little film with a western motif – starring Bill Cosby, Leif Erikson, and Yaphet Kotto!

Sire/Ze, 1982. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
Ha! This one really takes us back! The set was a massive breakthrough for August Darnell – one of his biggest hits since his day with Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, with an equally appealing approach to the dancefloor. Tracks mix early 80s New York club styles with Darnell's mad ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

MCA, 1988. Near Mint- ... $14.99
ABC, 1965. Very Good+ ... $11.99
An excellent set by BB King – one of his best from the 60s, and a smoking live set recorded at Chicago's legendary Regal Theatre! The enthusiasm at the venue shows that BB's Memphis-honed style is a perfect fit for the electrified Chicago sound of the 60s – and the recording really ...

(Early 80s blue rainbow label MCA pressing in a barcode cover. Cover has some wear and aging, light stain and wrinkling at the spine, tiny blemish spots, and a small portion torn off the back paste-on at the top right corner.)
ABC, 1971. Very Good+ ... $39.99
BB King live at the Cook County Jail in Chicago – and given the amount of great live shows going on in the institution during the early 70s, the jail must have been one hell of a place to be incarcerated! This classic features BB King entertaining the prisoners with a wickedly sharp blues ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing in the textured cover.)
Kent, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A nice little live set from BB – rawer than some of his studio work at the time, and with a bit freer playing. Titles include "Please Love Me", "Sweet Little Angel", "Let Me Love You", "Rock Me Baby", "3 O'Clock Blues", and "Woke Up This ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atco, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
Ok, so you might be sick of hearing "Stand By Me" over and over on oldies stations, but Ben's one of the greatest soul singers of the 60s, and checking out this greatest hits set, you'll be surprised at how many great songs he sung that you might not know! Nice ones include "That's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo pressing with Warner rim logo.)
Guinness, 1977. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A really obscure album from the legendary 60s soul singer – done for the short-lived Guinness Records label, right around the same time that Ben was coming back a bit on Atlantic! This one's got a rootsier feel – almost in a southern soul mode, with Ben singing in a style that really ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner, but this is a beautiful copy overall.)
Atco, 1962. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Sublime uptown soul from the great Ben E King – and session that has him paired with a young Claus Ogermann on arrangements! Although later a maestro of the heavy strings, at this point Ogermann's got a great little bounce in his backings – that German-trained use of the electric bass ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Tan and blue label mono pressing with AT etch – a great copy!)
Evelyn Champagne King —
Smooth Talk ... LP 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.)

(20th Century Fox pressing.)
Black America/Buddah, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A strong, if un-dated, speech by Dr King – one that breaks down the history of integration and race relations in America – offering extreme insights on all points, of the sort that really gets at the power of his word back in the 60s. (Spoken Word, Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and aging, some small stained spots at the bottom, frayed portion at the top seam, small dent at the opening, and some splitting in the bottom seam.)

(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!

Klymaxx —
Meeting In The Ladies Room ... LP Constellation, 1984. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A classic set from this big 80s group – and given the work that must have gone into the doos on the cover of this one, it's no surprise Klymaxx are in the Ladies Room – most likely still waiting for their hair to dry! The album's a batch of tightly-crafted mid 80s crossover soul – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small center split on the top seam and light surface wear.)
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
