Sublime southern soul from one of the greats!

'80 ... LP Chi Sound/20th Century, 1980. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A nice record of modern soul that got a bit overlooked at the time because of the poor fate of the Chi-Sound label.

Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $24.99

Chocolate Milk —
Comin ... LP RCA, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Wicked funk from Chocolate Milk – and a set that perfectly combines their deep New Orleans roots with the tighter sound the Crescent City was brewing up in the mid 70s! The group work closely here with producer Allen Toussaint – and really show that stronger use of studio technology ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chocolate Milk —
Milky Way ... LP RCA, 1979. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Tight, funky, and plenty darn groovy – a set that has Chocolate Milk sounding a lot smoother than at their start, but still pretty darn great overall! Allan Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn are still around to help the group on production, but the sound is more LA than New Orleans – a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
CJ & Co —

Dee Clark —
Wondering ... LP Sunset, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
Vee Jay, 1960. Very Good+ ... $11.99 16.99
Dee Clark cracked the charts big with a few crossover hits – but he's an excellent soul singer with a raspy tone that almost set the stage for some of the deeper soul acts to come in the 60s! The style here is very much in the mode of some of Jackie Wilson's best for Brunswick from the early ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original rainbow label pressing, with deep groove – in great shape! Cover has a tiny bit of splitting on the top seam, but is great too.)

Stanley Clarke —
I Wanna Play For You ... LP Columbia, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A wickedly funky album from Stanley Clarke – perhaps his most fully-formed album of the Columbia years, and a set that really brings together his jazz and soul styles! There's a definite R&B vibe going on, but it's also one that's still quite heavy on bass work from Stanley – a ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stanley Clarke —
Let Me Know You ... LP Columbia, 1982. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Stanley Clarke's a lot more soul-based than fusion here – but that's A-OK with us, because we like this sort of work a lot better than his jamming jazz rock of the 70s! The record's got a great mellow soul vibe – laidback and gently stepping – sometimes in a way that's a bit ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has minimal wear.)
Stanley Clarke —
Rocks Pebbles & Sand ... LP Epic, 1980. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Killer work from Stanley Clarke – a set to start off the 80s, but still very much in that unique blend of jazz, rock, and soul he forged so well in the 70s! The set begins with really heavy drums and bass – nicely propelled, but never too strong or too jamming – a great balance ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Epic, 1984. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A nice funky electric groover from Stanley Clarke's mid 80s R&B years! Time Exposure has a lot of period electro funk in the mix, particularly Clarke's impeccable bass lines, which are heavy throughout! A brilliant mix of 80s fusiony future funk with jazz precision – definitely a funky ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Grey label EU pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and is bent a bit at the edges. Label has a sticker spot.)
Stanley Clarke & George Duke —
Clarke Duke Project 2 ... LP Columbia, 1983. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A second set from the Clarke Duke Project – and arguably even more soulful than the first! The tunes here are still rooted in jazz, but strongly move into crossover soul territory too – with vocals from both Stanley Clarke and George Duke – and grooves that really make the best ...

(Cover has minimal wear and a promo stamp.)
Victor (Japan), 1978. Near Mint- 2LP ... $19.99
A rare live set from Otis Clay – much more obscure than his later Japanese album that circulated in the 80s – and captured at a time when Otis was coming off his famous stretch at Hi Records! The set features great small combo backing by an American group – and titles include ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice Japanese pressing, with insert! Cover has some light wear, and a bit of splitting on the top seam.)
Yupiteru (Japan), 1984. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $28.99
Otis Clay recorded live in Japan – working before a very appreciative audience, and hitting grooves that are right up there with his best 70s work on Hi Records! The sound is a bit looser than Hi – which is a nice change – and Clay's really in command on the set, leading the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blues R&B, 1982. Near Mint- ... $24.99 29.99
Later work from Otis Clay, but also one of his greatest albums ever! The record features him with some fuller arrangements than usual – in less of a bluesy mode than during the Hi years, with a smooth sound that really brings out a whole new side of his style. The set was recorded in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, on Victor, with insert! Cover has a small bit of tape on top seam, but rest is nice.)
