Ace (UK), Late 1950s/Early 1960s. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
Amazing vocal work from The Olympics – a great little group who bridged the gap between doo wop and 60s soul – and who had a pyrotechnic style that only The Coasters could match!

Omni Says It All ... LP Fountain, 1980. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Chicago modern soul LP from the early 80's, recorded for Jerry Butler's Fountain label.

Most ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hot Wax/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
A stone burner from 100 Proof Aged In Soul – a group who really take off with this tight second record! The album's a classic from the days when soul music ruled AM radio on both sides of the tracks – and the rest of the album is equally great – packing that tight post-Motown ... read more CD
