Letter To Myself ... LP Brunswick, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Perhaps the most heavenly of all the Chi-Lites albums, with soaring harmonies leaping all over beautiful Chicago soul production, and loads of great heartbreaking stories unfolding as the whole thing spins away!

Evelyn Champagne King —
Smooth Talk ... LP RCA, 1977. Very Good ... $9.99
Wonderfully smooth soul from Evelyn Champagne King – one of her real standouts from the early days, and a tremendous collaboration with producer/arranger T Life! The sound here is upbeat and catchy, but never too poppy – done with a slight hint of that groove that King would hit more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Average White Band —
Cut The Cake ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Near Mint- ... $14.99
If you need to own one album by Average White Band, this is it!

Grover Washington Jr —
Skylarkin' ... LP Motown, 1980. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet Motown grooving from Grover Washington – a set that has him working with slightly larger backings than his Kudu years, but in a way that still lets his soulful horn stand strongly out front! As always, Washington is a killer talent on the soprano sax – able to inflect the ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has a light trace of a sticker and a light corner bend.)
Paul Revere & The Raiders —
Goin To Memphis ... LP Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An overlooked groover by this 60s rock act – recorded in Memphis by Chips Moman, with a hard sock-soul approach that's almost a blue eyed soul take on the sound of Stax! There were probably more than a few famous Memphis session players on the set, and you can certainly imagine who might ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 2 eye pressing. Cover has a cutout hole.)
Ketty Lester —
Love Letters ... LP Era, 1962. Very Good- ... $11.99
Groundbreaking work from Ketty Lester – a really important singer who equally skirted the worlds of jazz and soul!

(Original mono pressing. Cover has splitting on all seams, edge wear, some surface wear & aging.)
Prince —
Dirty Mind ... LP Warner, 1980. Very Good- ... $13.99
Early work from Prince – really his first full fledged masterpiece!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light edge & ring wear.)
Billy Preston —
Wildest Organ In Town! ... LP Capitol, 1966. Very Good- ... $8.99
One of Billy's best, and it's got a pretty tight instrumental groove that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's work for the Sue and Veep labels. Billy's organ fronts some groovy and offbeat arrangements by Sly Stone – and although the set list includes a number of late 60s hits, the overall ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing. Vinyl plays with a short click on "I Got You". Cover is great!)
Billy Preston —
Most Exciting Organ Ever ... LP Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good- ... $5.99
One of Billy's best, and it's got a hard wailing raw groove that's missing from a lot of his later work! There's a very churchy sound in the organ, with all the stops open and a very large sound coming out of the speaker – and Billy wails in a manner that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear on the bottom seam with a small split – but is nice otherwise!)
Boney M —
Nightflight To Venus ... LP Hansa, 1978. Very Good- Gatefold ... $9.99
A nice bit of space age disco fantasy from Boney M – a set that's got a few more electronic touches than some of the group's other records, but which still continues in a straight ahead poppy vein! There's a sound here that's arguably a bit more sophisticated than before – especially ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(German pressing with A10 and B13 matrix. Cover has edge wear.)
Lakeside —
Fantastic Voyage ... LP Solar, 1980. Very Good- Gatefold ... $7.99
A crowning achievement from Lakeside – one of the key albums to link Ohio funk roots with a smoother LA groove – all served up in a way that had limitless influence for years to come! Bass is definitely at the head of these arrangements, but there's plenty of great guitar too – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has splitting on the top & bottom seams, edge & surface wear.)
Sly & The Family Stone —
Small Talk ... LP Epic, 1974. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Sly's still doing pretty nice for himself in 1974 – with a sound that's perhaps a bit warmer than on the early records, but still nice and soulful – and peppered with a good dose of funk! The groove is really great on the set – bubbling with a more "deep down" feel than ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original orange label pressing. Includes the folded insert.)
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan —
Ask Rufus ... LP ABC, 1977. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

Leo's Sunshipp —
We Need Each Other ... LP Lyons, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A really great underground groover from the 70s – an album that hardly got any circulation at the time, but which has gone onto become the stuff of legend over the years! The album's a bit unusual, in that it almost feels like an expanded package of 12" singles – as the a-side ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Various —
Shrine – The Rarest Soul Label ... LP Shrine/Horace's (UK), Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
We know what you're thinking, how rare is the "rarest soul label" in the title, and more than that, how good are the tracks? Fortunately, in this case, the answer is really rare, and really great! 14 tracks from the rare Washington DC Shrine label, produced by Eddie Singleton and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, but looks great overall.)
Betty Davis —
Nasty Gal (pink yellow vinyl pressing) ... LP Island/Light In The Attic, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The biggest-label release ever cut by 70s funk legend Betty Davis – but a set that's every bit as hard and heavy as the indie dates that preceded it! Davis is at the top of her form here – bad-stepping amidst the heavy drums and freaked-out guitars that easily made her one of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joe Acosta —
Power Of Love ... LP Ghetto/Now Again, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
An extremely rare Latin Soul treasure – the legendary Power Of Love set by Joe Acosta – served up with some killer soul vocals by a young Joe Cruz!

Earth Wind & Fire —
Powerlight ... LP Columbia, 1983. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
The Powerlight is burning bright – Maurice White, Philip Bailey, and the rest of the group still very much in classic formation!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Various —
Save The Children ... LP Motown, 1973. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
This one was kind of Motown's answer to the Wattstax albums – a double live set, recorded in Chicago during the Push Expo, headed by Jesse Jackson. The tracks here are more of a mixed bag than some of those on the deeper soul Wattstax albums, but there are some nice moments overall, buried ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the poster! Cover has a cutout notch.)
Shalamar —
Big Fun ... LP Solar, 1979. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A definite bit of Big Fun from Shalamar – totally tight and very much at the top of their game – making the transition from disco modes to leaner 80s groove, thanks to lots of great production and songwriting help from Leon Sylvers! Sylvers was really emerging as one of the key forces ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Average White Band —
Average White Band ... LP Atlantic, 1974. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
AWB's first for Atlantic – and a nice slice of funk that proves that they can mix it up with the best groups of the 70s!

Funkadelic —
Maggot Brain ... LP Westbound, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever!

Ghetto – Misfortune's Wealth ... LP Stax (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
This beautiful LP was released by Stax in the early 70's, but somehow got lost in the shuffle between all the Isaac Hayes LPs.

Rotary Connection —
Rotary Connection ... LP Cadet, 1967. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
