Keep Me In Mind ... LP Reprise, 1970. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of Miriam Makeba's hippest albums of all time – a set that marked the end of her association with Reprise Records, and her fame in the crossover American scene of the 60s – and for good reason, too – as the whole thing's brimming over with much more righteous energy than ever ...

Magnificent Miriam Makeba ... LP Mercury, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A hip little album by Miriam Makeba – part South African soul, part New York hip, with arrangements that recall some of Makeba's later work, bits of Nina Simone, and touches of Uptown soul. Arrangements and backing are by Luchi De Jesus – and Sivuca's actually part of the backing, and ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Many Voices Of Miriam Makeba ... LP Kapp, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great album – even if Miriam's not in as many voices as promised by the title! (Who do they think she is – Rich Little?) The recording quality appears to be live – as the tracks have an open jamming style, with Miriam singing in that rich, folksy style of her early years, ...

Ballot Or The Bullet ... LP Paul Winley, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
It's a shame that Paul Winley ended up making some bucks off the late great one – especially as other issues of this famous speech gave royalties to Betty Shabazz. Still, the work's an essential one – and the package is pretty nice looking. The vinyl's also banded, and divided into ... (Spoken Word, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Words From The Frontlines – Excerpts From The Great Speeches Of Malcolm X ... LP BMG, Early 60s/1992. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Dos ... LP Warner, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A seminal bit of Latin funk from the Bay Area scene of the early 70s – the second album from Malo, and an even harder-hitting jam session than the first! The group are really in top form here – taking off with Santana-inspired riffs that are filled with heavy percussion, soaring organ, ... (Latin, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Manchild —
Power & Love ... LP Chi Sound/United Artists, 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Early work by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, working here with the young Chicago group Manchild – a funky soul outfit that was one of the city's last big new acts of the 70s. The band never really broke the charts that strongly – and on their funky cuts, they sound a bit too much ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has a cutout hole, split top seam, and a small blemish in front.)
Mandre —
Mandre ... LP Motown, 1977. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A classic set of spacey club from Mandre – aka Andre Lewis – an artist we'd place right up there with some of the best cosmic sounds from Dexter Wansel at the time, and maybe even some of the more space-bound club artists of the European scene as well! The album's got some wonderful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mandrill —
Beast From The East ... LP United Artists, 1975. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Post-Polygram, but still some nice funkiness from this classic 70s group. The record's got much of the feel of their early 70s work – with lots of tasty electric keyboards, soulful percussion, and an always-driving groove. Titles include "Disco Lypso", "Honey Butt", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mandrill —
Composite Truth ... LP Polydor, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest records ever from Mandrill – a set that has the group tightening things up and getting even more funky than on their first few records, but with a vibe that's still nicely loose and spontaneous overall! The set's got Mandrill perfectly balanced between jazz-tinged funk ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Just Outside Of Town ... LP Polydor, 1973. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Really tremendous work from Mandrill – an instant funky classic, and a set that has the group furthering the sublime sound they crafted on their seminal Composite Truth! The record has all these wonderful twists and turns – not just the usual 70s funky styles, but inflections from a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mandrill ... LP Polydor, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A masterpiece of freeform funk from Mandrill – New York group at the start of the 70s, but one who work here with the best longform jamming styles of the Bay Area scene! The combo draw equal influence from jazz, funk, soul, and Latin – using all elements in a unique hybrid that's all ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
