Arista, 1977. Very Good ... $7.99
Sweet modern soul with a sound that would get picked up on years later by the LA G-Funk scene. The album's produced by War's Far Out production team – and it's got a smooth sound that's mixed with moogy keyboards and compressed instrumentation on the best cuts. Some tracks are a bit too ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ace Spectrum —
Just Like In The Movies ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A masterpiece of east coast harmony soul – and worth it for the title cut alone!

Barbara Acklin —
Love Makes A Woman ... LP Brunswick, 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Barbara Acklin's first album – and a landmark of Chicago soul that firmly established Acklin as one of the city's best writers and new female singers!

Spring, 1974. Sealed ... $14.99
An obscure soul group, but a great one – equally at home with a fragile harmony tune as they were with more uptempo groovers for the dancefloor!

Mainstream, 1973. Near Mint- ... $39.99
A killer album of Afro Funk – with a very unusual origin!

Warner, 1977. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A lot smoother than most of Airto's other work – and almost more of a soul record than a jazz one – but also a great batch of grooves with a really spirited feel!

A sweet second set from 80s singer Carl Anderson – a date that's got poise, class, and a heck of a lot of soul!

FM, 1963. Very Good ... $29.99
Folksy soul from George Anderson – an African singer by birth, recording here in a Paris studio, and singing in a mode that's a bit like some of Miriam Makeba's recordings from the time.

ABC, 1975. Near Mint- ... $26.99
We've got to admit, we don't know much about Angelo Bond, but we've always had kind of a soft spot for this nice overlooked album of 70s soul tracks recorded for ABC. The arrangements are by McKinley Jackson and Paul Riser, and the tracks are a nice mix of 70s soul themes – with some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $39.99
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.

Stax, 1971. Very Good- ... $13.99
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work!

RCA, 1975. Very Good+ ... $39.99
A brilliant soul album! That's right, we said SOUL album! Bowie was at the height of his Ziggy Stardust fame when this one was recorded – a drastic left-turn in styles, forged during a point in his American tour when he could take a break, head to Philly, plug in at the Sigma Sound Studios, ...

Tabu, 1977. Very Good+ ... $8.99
A set that definitely lives up to its title – a stone stormer from Brainstorm – one of the tightest funky ensembles of their generation, and one of the few who could go deep while still laying down a groove!

Brass Construction ... LP United Artists, 1975. Very Good ... $4.99
A classic set that goes "slam" from the very first note – and which helped to set the pace for countless ensemble funk acts to come! Brass Construction had a wonderful sound that was the best-realized version of the east coast indie club combos of the mid 70s – funky at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Camden, 1958. Very Good ... $14.99
The title makes the set sound like a cash-in, but the record's got a rock-solid pedigree, and a strong R&B vibe – great vocals from Jim Breedlove, working solo away from The Cues – with arrangement help from Dave Martin, and some tenor solos from Sam The Man Taylor! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a split spine.)
Chocolate City, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Sublime second generation soul from Brenda & The Tabulations – a sweet set of Philly grooves, recorded at Sigma sound with help from Norman Harris, Bobby Eli, and John Davis! The album's every bit as groove-heavy as you'd expect from work by those dancefloor heavyweights – and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Promo. Cover has a cut corner.)
Bang, 1976. Very Good ... $4.99
A killer debut from Brick – the start of a massive run at the end of the 70s, a time when the group was easily one of the biggest acts to come out of the up-and-coming Atlanta scene! Like some other Atlanta acts of the time, Brick had a way of fusing older funky soul on a tighter modern ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pi Kappa, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $24.99
