Capitol, 1982. Near Mint- ... $7.99
One of the two beautifully sweet albums of soul that the lovely Sheree Brown cut for Capitol in the early 80s.

A classic live album – one of the first in soul music, and a beautiful set of smooth soul tunes from Sam Cooke! Sam's singing at the high-end nitespot The Copacabana – and like many live sets performed there, this one's tailored a bit to the classy crowd at the show – but that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, Early 60s/1970. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
A 2LP set that brings together earlier Sam Cooke titles for RCA – some remastered and made into stereo titles, others just cleaned up a bit. There's a total of 20 tracks in all – with hits like "Twistin The Night Away", "You Send Me", "Chain Gang", "Ha ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label pressing in a gatefold cover with moisture stains along the opening.)
RCA, 1965. Very Good- ... $14.99
Released shortly after Sam's death, this is a beautiful batch of ballad tracks to remember how sweet his voice was. The production's a bit pop, but Sam's singing is as heavenly as ever. Titles include "When A Boy Falls In Love", "Try A Little Love", "Bridge Of Tears" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split bottom seam, some wear, and light stains.)
Specialty, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A nice little compilation that brings together both sides of Sam Cooke's early work – his gospel recordings with the Soul Stirrers, and his secular soul from a few years later. The package is a great overview of Sam's best recordings in both worlds – with one side of gospel, one side of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Specialty, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
It's a well-known fact that before Sam Cooke went into soul music, he was cutting some incredible work with the Soul Stirrers gospel quintet – work that was every bit as soulful and sexy as his pop hits, perhaps more so, given the supposedly restrained nature of the setting. This album ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing. Cover has a cut corner.)
Ace (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A much rawer group than you'd guess from the name – a sharp New Orleans combo that bridges the space between R&B and early soul – led by Huey Cookie Thierry on vocals and saxophone! Titles include "I Cried", "All My Loving Baby", "Feel So Good", "M ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
United Artists, 1972. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A wonderful album from this enigmatic soul group! Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose were one of a handful of early 70s groups – like Chairmen Of The Board or 100 Proof Aged In Soul – who had a sound that was incredibly hard to peg. There were bits of southern rawness in the vocals, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bola, 1980. Near Mint- ... $39.99
The righteous poetess runs through a set of her work from the late 70's – like "Brooding", "The Red Pepper Poet", and "For the Brave Young Students in Soweto" – and she's backed by a group that includes Bern Nix on guitar and Denardo Coleman on drums (just ...

Sussex, 1972. Very Good ... $11.99
A great album of funky grooves put together by Bill Cosby, and featuring some of his funky friends from LA, like Stu Gardner, Gildo Mahones, Mel Brown, Willie Bobo, Monk Montgomery, and Paul Humphrey! The set's not to be confused with the similarly titled album on Uni – but is equally great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole and split seams.)
MCA, 1973. Very Good ... $1.99
A classic live set from Bill Cosby – recorded at Harrah's Hotel in Reno, Nevada – back in 1973, when he was still pretty darn hip! As you'd guess from the title and cover, the emphasis here is on stories and bits involving Fat Albert – the Cosby creation that was then playing big ...

Warner, 1967. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A weird little record from Bill Cosby – a set that's not as all-out funky as some of his other vocal albums, but still pretty nice overall! The style here is more bluesy than soul-based, but production is still by Fred Smith, of 103rd Street Rhythm Band fame – and the album has a sense ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
