Nice one from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – working with arranger Quincy Jones!

Society Don't Let Us Down ... LP Tuff City, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Funky New Orleans soul re-released on this compilation by the folks at Tuff City.

Salsoul, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
An early hit for Salsoul Records – a set of extended European disco tracks, all building in a nice slow, layered sort of way – then remixed by Tom Moulton for the US dancefloor!

Sound Town, 1984. Sealed ... $2.99
A really nice little album from J Blackfoot – one that's recorded with a few 80s touches, but in a way that mostly preserves the sweetly crackling style that makes his vocals so wonderful! There's plenty of mellower tunes here that echo with the rich contribution that Blackfoot brought to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Edge, Early 80s. Very Good+ ... $0.99
A mix of styles that has his roots in the Memphis scene getting a bit of an 80s production touch, sometimes a bit too tinny to sound great, and others rolling into more comfortable territory with a warmer feel.

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!

Brass Fever —
Time Is Running Out ... LP ABC, 1976. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Despite the name, and a concept that makes it seem like the record might be some throwaway disco set – the album's actually a good one, very much in the mode of the best uptempo soul on ABC at the time, but done without a vocalist. The album's arranged and conducted by McKinley Jackson, who ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Magic Man ... LP Hilltak/Atlantic, 1979. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A classy disco project arranged and produced by Willie Henderson – done in a mode that's got less of the jazz funk touches of some of his other late 70s work, and with an approach that's got a fairly straightforward clubby sound. Lead vocals on the set are by Patti Williams – a singer ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brooklyn Allstars —
Walk Tall ... LP Jewel, 1973. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A great gospel group with a really strong deep soul sound – one that comes from some tremendously full harmonies by the male members of this hip quintet!

Polydor, 1972. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $49.99
A really great double-length set from James Brown – maybe slightly less iconic than some of his other classics from the early 70s, but a record that really shows the man stretching out and finding his groove! The whole thing is a great example of the new freedoms that Brown was experiencing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

King, 1967. Good ... $7.99
Raw soul, indeed – a term that could have been coined for James Brown's vocal approach, and which probably makes one of its first appearances here on a record!

(Mono black crown label pressing. Cover has split seams.)
Polydor, 1975. Near Mint- ... $19.99
One of the last great albums from James Brown! Not as totally sublime as Payback or some of the others from the 70s – but James is still working here with Fred Wesley and Dave Matthews – and many of the cuts retain the funk of a few years past. Case in point is the sublime "Funky ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

TSR, 1983. Near Mint- ... $5.99
Plenty of Manpower from Miquel Brown– the Canadian club singer who scored big with the classic "So Many Man So Little Time" club cut in the early 80s – then followed it up with this full album of late disco grooves! Brown's vocal approach is in the higher side of the spectrum ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Elephant, Early 70s. Very Good Gatefold ... $19.99
A pretty unusual record from Nappy Brown – very different than his earlier work! As you might guess by the bitter title, and the cover photos that have Nappy hanging out in the ghetto, the album's kind of aimed at the roots-revival crowd – an almost rock-like album with Nappy getting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Odell Brown —

After starting his career out with his funky group The Organizers, Odell Brown moved into a phase where he would act as the lead soloist in front of larger funky groups – like the one that appears on this record.

Roadshow, 1975. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
BT Express are speeding it up a bit from the first album – hitting more of a disco vein, as would be their due, since they were one of the key groups in inventing the genre! The core ensemble funk sound is still firmly in place, with loads of great horns arranged by the enigmatic Carlos Ward ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Vernon Burch —
Get Up ... LP Chocolate City/Casablanca, 1979. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Bouncy, bubbly soul from Vernon Burch – one of his stone dancefloor classics from the 70s, served up with a groove that never quits! Burch is one of the few who can make a clubby set sparkle with the more personal qualities of a mellower soul album – and this excellent set is a great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp, minimal wear, and is bent a bit at the spine.)
Jerry Butler —
Folk Songs ... LP Vee Jay, Early 60s. Sealed ... $14.99
A great lost album from Jerry – and a key link in the hip Chicago scene that produced Terry Callier and Oscar Brown Jr! Sure, you might think of the album as a silly "cash in on the folk craze" effort – but Jerry keeps it soulful throughout, and thanks to some wonderful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vee Jay, 1963. Very Good ... $14.99
What can we say? Classic Vee Jay material by The Iceman, and some of the most sophisticated soul you'll ever hear. Sure, this album may be a collection of singles pulled together to make an LP, but that was stock in trade for so many labels throughout the 60s, and well into the next couple of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vee Jay, 1963. Very Good ... $11.99
Fantastic work by Chicago Iceman soulster Jerry Butler!

Jerry Butler —
Power Of Love ... LP Mercury, 1973. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An easy album to overlook, but not without some nice moments! Johnny Bristol produced the record, and he gives it a nice sweet 70s soul groove, similar to what he was using in his own work from the time. And typical of Jerry's albums from the early 70s, there's lots of nice original material, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mercury, 1967. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Beautiful uptown soul from Jerry – with pre Gamble-Huff arrangements by Jo Renzetti and Jimmy Wisner.

Polydor, 1973. Very Good+ ... $29.99
One of Candido's funkiest albums! The record's got a similar sound to Candido's great albums for Blue Note and Solid State – with short, hard funky tunes that have a really great 70s edge!

Beverly Glen, 1985. Very Good ... $7.99
An obscure later album from west coast soul group Chapter 8 – recorded after Anita Baker had left the group to move out on her own, but done for the mid 80s Beverly Glen indie, where Baker had also gotten her start as a solo act! The set's got a feel that's smooth and sophisticated – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atlantic, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A collection of Ray's incredible work for Atlantic during the late 50s – a mixture of hard grooving R&B tunes and more jazz-based mellower numbers, all done in that stripped-down raw style he was using at the time, one that was a lot harder than his later work for ABC. Titles include ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & purple label pressing with deep groove.)
ABC, 1961. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A classic album of soul duets – and one of the deeper records cut by Betty during the 60s!

Betty's high voice works well with Ray's raspy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Parkway, 1964. Sealed ... $9.99

Stanley Clarke —
Children Of Forever ... LP Polydor, 1973. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Quite possibly the hippest album that Stanley Clarke ever cut – a stretched-out soulful batch of jazz-tinged tracks – very much in the same spirit as the more righteous soul jazz underground of the time! In a way, the record would be much more at home on a label like Strata East than ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Damn great work from Albert Collins – one of those hard-edged gems from the early days that's a lot more funk than his later blues!

Alec R Costandinos —
Romeo & Juliet ... LP Casablanca, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Without a doubt, Alec R. Costandinos was one of the strangest disco arranger/producers of the 70s!

Laff, Early 70s. Sealed ... $13.99
Classic work from Leroy Daniels – an off-color comedian who worked in Johnny Otis' ensemble of the late 60s and early 70s – not as raw as Rudy Ray Moore, but with a strong smattering of mis-hearings and mis-interpretations of situations, all designed to bring out the bawdiest side ...

King, Early 60s. Very Good ... $19.99
Next to Honky Tonk, this has to be one of the greatest Bill Doggett LPs for King!
