Sister Woman (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fantasy/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Very righteous work from Esther Marrow – an overlooked soul singer who works with a hell of a lot of pride and power! The set's an overlooked gem in the Fantasy catalog of the 70s, and it's one of only two secular soul albums cut by Marrow – and quite possibly the best of the bunch, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

MARRS —
Pump Up The Volume (long, bonus beat, inst)/4th & Broadway, 1987. Near Mint- (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
An offshoot of the 4AD rock scene from the UK, this number sampled Rakim from "Paid In Full" to great effect – and it made quite a bit of sense that the track was issued on 4th & Broadway in the US (probably also a legal move, so that the label wouldn't sue 4AD for copping a ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Martha & The Vandellas were one of the few Motown 60s pop groups who actually got better as they got past their initial hit status – as these two albums will nicely attest! Reeves' vocals are fantastic, and very well trained for material such as this – nice little tracks with tight ... read more CD

Martin Circus —
Martin Circus ... LP Prelude, 1979. Very Good- ... $5.99
Excellent underground disco with a groovy French touch! The cover's a bit campy, but the record's got plenty of nice keyboard work, and offsets the coldness of the keys with some soaring strings and warm basslines. The standout cut is "Disco Circus", a 14 minute romp that's pretty darn ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Early soul from one of Motown's first great groups – the mighty Marvelettes, really sparkling here in a style that's a bit earthier than some of the later Motown hits!

A sweet groover from the Marvelettes – and a record that completely re-casts their sound for the Motown of the 70s!
