Aaliyah —
I Care 4 U ... LP Atlantic/Empire, 2002. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99 25.99
The lovely Aaliyah left our planet all too soon, and left behind a number of unissued tracks as well – material intended for a future album, and which was combined here with a few other tracks to make for a posthumous tribute to her too-short legacy in R&B! The practice is, unfortunately ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cannonball Adderley —
Black Messiah ... LP Capitol, Early 70s. Very Good- 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A massive live set from Cannonball Adderley – and a record that really shows the growth he'd undergone in just a few short years! The album's done in close collaboration with David Axelrod – who'd handled Cannon's big live dates for Capitol in the 60s – but this record is much ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Count Shelly/Soulgramma (Italy), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
A pastoral cover hides the greatness within – a set that's maybe one of the most soulful ever recorded by the great Laurel Aitken – who also produced and penned all the tunes too! There's a warm soul vibe to the record that's almost more Sam Cooke than some of the earlier material that ... (Reggae, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

... LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Gordy, 1972. Near Mint- ... $99.99
A nice bit of funky blues, and a very strange record to appear on Motown! The production style and presentation are very rootsy – right down to the photo of Luther on the front cover, who's smoking a cigarette, but trying to pretend it's a joint! The style is electric blues of the Chicago ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Purple label stereo pressing with ridged labels. Cover has a cutout notch and some wear at the spine.)
Dee (Italy), 1969. Very Good+ ... $23.99
A fantastic little instrumental combo – one who come across with a sound that makes the whole album feel like listening to a stack of funky 45s! The group have massively heavy drums and rock-solid bass – but its real charmer is the organ, which wails away with the unbridled frenzy of a ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dorothy's Harp ... LP Cadet, 1969. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the grooviest Dorothy Ashby albums of the 60s – a set that has her already-great jazz work on harp backed by Chicago soul arrangements from Richard Evans – all in a blend that's somewhere in the territory of the Soulful Strings, but even groovier!

Warner, 1980. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Near-perfect work from Ashford & Simpson – really grooving in full powerhouse mode here, and never missing a beat!

Dark Horse, 1976. Very Good+ ... $11.99 13.99
Sweetly compressed work from Attitudes – kind of a mid 70s crossover group, but one with a strong sense of soul overall!

Mercury, 1959. Very Good+ ... $6.99
No honking here, as Sil Austin takes his deeply soulful tenor sax, and turns it to a set of creamy late-nite tracks – all done over some very "pretty" backings, ala the Verve strings work of Ben Webster or Lester Young.

Average White Band are most clearly associated with Atlantic Records during the 70s – and that label's genius move to record white soul acts for the crossover market – but this first album was recorded for MCA, and very much in the same vein as their later work. The record's not as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1978. Very Good+ ... $3.99 5.99
In case you don't get the joke, the title's a play on the fact that Atlantic Records had just been acquired by Warner Communications – now fully a major label at the end of the 70s!

Seminal early funk work from Roy Ayers!

Atlantic/Nature Sounds, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
An early album as a leader from the great Roy Ayers – a set that captures the vibes man at a time when he'd been working on the west coast soul jazz scene, and was stepping into even greater fame in the group of Herbie Mann!

Pepsi Cola, 1963. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A long spoken set that chronicles the story of African Americans from the days of slavery up through the 20th century.

(Cover has some surface wear and aging.)
Glades, 1977. Sealed ... $11.99 14.99
A strange but great chapter of The Blue Notes – working here without Harold Melvin or Teddy Pendergrass, but still sounding pretty great on their own! This version of The Blue Notes is a male quartet – not the Melvin group with Sharon Paige who were recording for ABC – and they ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Bobo —
Hell Of An Act To Follow ... LP Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Nice stuff from Willie – maybe not as hard and funky as his early 70s work, but very nice in kind of a Latin Club mode, thanks to some great production by Wayne Henderson!

(Japanese pressing with obi & insert. Cover has some edge wear, some clear tape on seams, light surface wear.)
Arista, 1984. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Angela Bofill at the height of an early 80s run on Arista – really breaking big with a catchy approach to soul – one that definitely had her ahead of the pack at the time! The album mixes together upbeat tunes that are heavy on beats with mellower cuts that have a deeper soul feel ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. A nice copy.)
Arista, 1983. Sealed ... $11.99
An Arista winner from Angela Bofill – one that has her working strongly with Narada Michael Walden – who helps Bofill on production and songwriting for part of the album, and really helps bring a nicely solid feel to the set! The tunes are more in an 80s soul mode than before for Angie ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jet Star/Sundazed, Early 60s. New Copy ... $25.99 26.99
The first-ever full length set of work from Howard Bomar – a singer who only issued a few rare 45s back in the 60s, yet kept on making music for years! From the very first tune, you'll hear that Bomar has a fantastic voice – that sort of searching, searing style that you'd hear from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Legrand, Early 60s. Very Good ... $12.99
Nice stuff – a lot better than you might think, from what we remember about Gary! The tunes are nicely grooving numbers with a hard sock-soul approach – a bit of twist, a bit R&B, and all jumping around in a lively style that makes for a good listen all the way through. Plus, most ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hansa, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99
A nice bit of space age disco fantasy from Boney M – a set that's got a few more electronic touches than some of the group's other records, but which still continues in a straight ahead poppy vein! There's a sound here that's arguably a bit more sophisticated than before – especially ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax, 1966. Good ... $14.99
A great little album from Booker T & The MGs – recorded in the post Green Onions years, at a time when the group was really coming together – with a tightness that perfectly illustrates their sublime Memphis instrumental groove!

Atlantic, 1968. Good ... $6.99
What can we say? Booker T and crew are always tops in our book – and this album's as strong a batch of their classic singles as you'll ever find! Book's organ is the sound of a generation, and Steve Cropper's sinister vamping on guitar gives even the poppier tracks a hard edge that still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax/Jackpot, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 30.99
Booker T & The MGs – definitely doing their thing on this late 60s cooker – and moving their instrumental sound into a whole new range than before!
