Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
The album that sported his classic "Little Green Apples", which was covered by just about everybody in showbiz at the time.

J.Bridge/P-Vine (Japan), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A great record – and the kind of lost soul that has group collectors digging through the used bins year after year!

SOS Band —
SOS III ... LP Tabu, 1982. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A solid smoker from the SOS Band – maybe one of the group's best-remembered albums, and for good reason too!

Anvil, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A pretty tasty album of instrumentals – all Motown, as you'd expect by the title, and all played by the Soultown Symphony, a side project of Wes Farrell and Joe Renzetti.

Crazy Cajun/Superfly (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 39.99

Now Again, 1973. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $28.99 32.98
A really incredible spiritual jazz treasure from the New Orleans scene – one that features a student group led by legendary Nola musician Alvin Batiste, but delivered in a style that's much more like some of the hipper jazz collectives in cities like Detroit, Chicago, or Philly at the time! ...

Jazzstronauts/Now Again, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99

Westbound (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 31.99
A record that moves guitarist Melvin Sparks a bit more into soul territory from the funky jazz of his early 70s years – but still a heck of a great little record overall! The tracks are shorter than before and the backings are bigger – but Melvin's work on the strings still gets plenty ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
