Baby Grand/Everland (Austria), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99

Seminal sounds from this great Detroit group – and a key look at their less-remembered music of the 60s! Although Fantastic Four are probably best remembered for their later disco work – including the Alvin Stone album on Westbound – back in their early days, they were a great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear.)
Phil-LA Of Soul, 1968. Very Good ... $14.99
A funky soul classic from the Fantastic Johnny C – a hard and heavy Philadelphia winner from the end of the 60s, and the kind of record that really gave Stax and Atlantic a run for their money! Johnny C's working here with some great hard soul production from Jesse James – grooving in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Vinyl has some marks that click a bit on"Shout Bamalama" and "Baby I Need You". Cover has light wear, some seam splitting, and DJ Copy stamp on back.)
Pavillion/CBS, 1982. Very Good+ ... $6.99
The second set from this early 80s disco trio – a Tony Valor side project, served up with all the soaringly soulful lines we love in his work from the 70s!

House, 1986. Very Good ... $8.99
A Chicago house classic, taking off on the riff from the Isaac Hayes tune that's been re-edited and mixed as doubles in clubs for ages and turning it into a new club anthem! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Perception, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Essential reissue of one of the greatest funk albums ever! This is the great LP of hard funky cuts that perfectly sums up the Fatback style that you've heard so much about – but which you can't find on much of their late 70s albums! The whole album is filled to the brim with loads of great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Knitting Factory, 1985. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
The original take of "Army Arrangement" – one of the greatest 80s grooves from Fela Kuti – stretched out here over the course of the entire album! The notes list side one as being the "instrumental" and side two as the "vocal" – but in truth, the ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Underground System ... LP Knitting Factory, 1992. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
Late Fela – but great Fela! Underground System was released in 1992, but it sounds like Fela's best work from the late 70s – grooving away at a triple-time beat on two incredible tracks, "Underground System" and "Pansa Pansa". "Pansa Pansa" is especially ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Knitting Factory, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
One of the most compelling Fela albums of the 70s – and one that's got a very different feel than some of his others. The album features one long track – "Coffin For Head Of State" – and although the track still has the usual Fela staples of horn riffs, chopping vamps, ...

Knitting Factory, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
An amazing album-length jam from Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 – recorded on the group's home turf at Kalakuta, and with this stretched-out building of energy that's completely amazing! James Brown may have created the longform funky style of vamping and soloing – but Fela takes it here to ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fela & Africa 70 —
No Agreement ... LP Knitting Factory, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A killer from the classic years, and one of Fela's best albums! "No Agreement" is a super great groover – with a catchy hook that goes on and on, and some very tasty playing by Tony Allen and the group. The track is long, with heavy solos, and vocals that will knock you out! ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Knitting Factory, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A searing live set from Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 – a long album-length jam, recorded in Berlin – with the group really going to town in instrumental frenzy topped with very righteous lyrics! VIP doesn't have the usual meaning here – as it stands for "vagabonds in power" ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Knitting Factory, 1976/1999. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A really killer 70s album from Fela Kuti – one that serves up a hell of a message, and some great slinky grooves too! "Yellow Fever" is a brutal attack on miscegenation, backed by a funky groove that makes the whole thing fall into place with an amazing riffing sound – bold, ...

RCA, 1969. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A groovy record from Jose – with his best kind of crossover feel! It's an unusual title – one that refers to the first track on the record, recorded by Jose Feliciano at age 10 – and the rest of the material included, done when Jose was 23 years old. It's a mixture of American ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing in the textured cover, with some wear.)
RCA, 1966. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Great early work from Jose Feliciano – and definitely the "bag full of soul" promised in the title, as the album's got a wonderfully heartfelt feel all the way through! Jose's voice is warm and beautifully melodic, and the arrangements are a bit more straight ahead than on later ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo Dynagroove pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and small stickers on back.)
