Brothers ... LP Truth/Stax, 1973. Very Good ... $26.99
A lesser-known gem from Rance Allen and group – recorded during their incredible early run at Stax!

A&M, 1980. Sealed ... $6.99
An incredible later record from Herb Alpert – working in a soulful funky fusion mode that really is well beyond the style that made him famous in the 60s!

RCA, 1973. Sealed ... $11.99
Funky rocking sounds from this hip Spanish group – served up with a bit of a tribal sound that's pretty sweet – and which makes Barrabas a key link between funk, rock, and club sounds in the mid 70s!

(Still sealed! Cover has a company sticker and a cutout notch.)
United Artists, 1976. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A serious British session arranged and conducted by Arthur Greenslade – done in a mood that's often mellow, and which has more dark corners than we'd expect from Shirley – a sad-tinged sound that often features a bit of organ brewing down in the low range of the sound spectrum.
