Juicy ... LP Verve, 1967. Very Good ... $9.99
Hard soulful Latin from the great Willie Bobo! The record's an extremely tasty blend of cuts that mix hard Latin grooving with a swinging 60s pop feel – all filtered through the crossover genius of late 60s Verve. There's lots of great boogaloo groovers, shing-a-ling rhythms, and a tight no- ... (Latin, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Arista, 1983. Very Good+ ... $2.99
An album that further cements Angela Bofill's relationship with Narada Michael Walden – as Walden produced almost every track in the set, and does a fair bit of songwriting too! The style is electric 80s soul, with a fair bit of keyboards and beats in the mix – but as usual with Bofill ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bohannon ... LP Dakar, 1975. Very Good ... $6.99
A massive amount of fast funk groovers from the mighty Hamilton Bohannon – just the kind of skittish, upbeat, and totally amazing tracks that have made him a legend for years!

Mercury, 1979. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A great set of clubby tunes from Bohannon – a bit discoey, to be sure, but still with plenty of the odd rhythms and odd touches of his earlier work!

Dakar, 1975. Very Good+ ... $4.99

Mercury, 1980. Very Good ... $3.99
Sweet Mercury grooving from Bohannon – still one of the quirkiest groovemeisters of his generation, even working here on a major label!

On My Way ... LP Mercury, 1978. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $4.99
A bit of a different sound than usual for Bohannon – but a great one as well! The album's got a slightly different pitch than some of Bo's more straightforward dancefloor work – and the rhythms are electric, sometimes skittish, and often a bit spooky – almost prefacing changes to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
