Moments/Stang, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Nice lost soundtrack that accompanied this film about a Patty Hearst-type character from the mid 70's.

Monstamadgination/Past Due, 1979. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $13.99
The only track ever recorded by the obscure East Bay funk group Monsta – a combo whose output was so lean, the one-sided single was only pressed in a run of 100 copies at the time!

Folkways, 1974. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 16.99
A massive lost funk classic – one of those rarer than rare albums that's well worth the fuss!

Cockpit – The Third Rudy Ray Moore Album ... CD Kent/Dolemite, Early 70s. New Copy ... $5.99 12.98
Rudy Ray Moore flies the friendly skies – and turns out one of his best records of the 70s! The set is easily one of the tightest albums from Rudy's classic years – and uses a fair bit of musical backings beneath his very raunchy comedy – in ways that are sometimes funky, but ... read more CD
