... LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo stamp.)
Mainstream, 1973. Very Good ... $24.99
A killer album of Afro Funk – with a very unusual origin! In the wake of Manu Dibango's big hit (and some kind of failure to register the copyright), many many versions of "Soul Makossa" were recorded and released, some good, some bad. This album is a good example of that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Luther Allison —
Luther's Blues ... LP Gordy, 1974. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the only blues records you'll ever find on Motown – and a mostly straight blues affair with a hard electric sound to it.

ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Although she began her career as more of a hard soul diva, this LP from the late 70's is a bit of an attempt to turn her into a club diva.

Booker T & The MGs —
Doin' Our Thing ... LP Stax, 1968. Very Good ... $4.99
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! The album has a very groovy feel – nice and tight, with especially great organ and guitar lines – often tuned towards 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing.)
Stax, 1967. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Booker T's definitely getting a bit funky with this one – stepping off with the incredible title cut, a tune which really complicates the groove from the earlier years! The sound is still solid Memphis soul, with a raw instrumental vibe – but the grooves are even better than before, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo pressing. Cover has a stained and wrinkled corner.)
Stax, 1969. Very Good ... $29.99
The Beatles had Abbey Road – and Booker T & The MGs had McLemore Ave, the main street running outside the Stax studios, and a fitting title for the album that has them playing tunes from The Beatles' incredible Abbey Road album. If you've ever thought that Abbey Road was a soft-rock ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing. Cover has some splitting in the top seam.)
Bootsy's Rubber Band —
Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! ... LP Warner, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Massive work from Bootsy Collins – one of his best-ever solo albums, and a perfect summation of the P-Funk groove – focused strongly through Bootsy's own sense of stardom! George Clinton worked with Collins on production, and the album's as tight as the best Parliament or Funkadelic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! ... CD 9.99(Recent 180 gram pressing.)
RCA, 1976. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Almost a "greatest hit" of "greatest hits" collection – given the importance of this album to the David Bowie catalog! Sure, it compiles tracks from other releases – but it also was the album that gave the world the killer cut "John I'm Only Dancing" ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label pressing AQL1 -1732. Cover has light wear.)
Atlantic, 2004. Near Mint- 2LP ... $11.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the insert.)
Arista, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $4.99
Soulful fusion from The Brecker Brothers – a set that's one of their standout efforts from the 70s – and a record that went onto influence a whole generation of jazz musicians too! The album features the twin horns of Randy & Michael Brecker, along with alto by David Sanborn, ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Arista, 1980. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An overlooked Brecker Brothers gem from the end of the 70s – easily one of their most soulful sets from the Arista years, and a record that's got way more lasting power than the Cold War reference of its title! The Brecker's are still rooted in jazz here, but definitely step out with plenty ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner and some light stains.)
Arista, 1981. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
It's our bet that the Brecker Brothers probably weren't straphanging on their way to work in this point in their careers – given the classy, professional sound of this set – which was more likely to earn them a ride in a limo than a place in the subway! But we certainly don't hold that ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has an unglued top seam.)
Top & Bottom, 1971. Very Good- ... $29.99
Great stuff – and possibly the best album ever by this classic harmony soul group! The style is wonderful – with Brenda's sweet voice in the lead, and backing by the all-male Tabulations. The overall approach was used by Gladys Knight & The Pips for years, but we've always liked ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has heavy edge wear, split bottom seam held with clear tape, and some aging.)
Dionn, 1967. Sealed ... $43.99
Incredible early work from Brenda & The Tabulations – one of the best male/female soul groups of their era, yet one that's often sadly overlooked! This album will more than display why the group are so great – as they have a unique quality that's soft and sweet, yet also deeply ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Dry Your Eyes ... CD 7.99(Stereo pressing.)
Chess/P-Vine (Japan), Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $34.99
One of the only full sets we've ever seen to document the great run of singles cut by Jackie Brenston in the early 50s – work initially done in Memphis, as a real precursor to that city's soul scene – and later cut also in Chicago, with a really hard-wailing approach! The set's titled ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
