Arthur Alexander —
Soldier Of Love ... LP Ace (UK), Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great compilation of work by the highly under-recognized Arthur Alexander! Although some know Alexander's big hit "You Better Move On", there's a huge body of work from the same time that's every bit as great. His work is an excellent mix of deep soul with ersatz C&W production, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ace (UK), Late 1950s/Early 1960s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Modern Records sessions by Jimmy Beasley – done for the famous LA label, but all recorded in Beasley's home town of New Orleans – with a very raw, early Crescent City vibe! Many of these cuts were done with the group of Dave Bartholomew at Cosimo's Studios – and they're filled ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ace/Kent (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $13.99 26.99
Righteous soul from late 60s Chicago – a killer collection of early singles from the great Darrow Fletcher – only a youngster at the time, but already working at a level that's as strong as most of his older contemporaries! Darrow's got this soaring voice that really sends us every ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Westbound/Ace (UK), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 28.99
One of the darkest records to ever come out of the Detroit soul scene! As you might guess from the title, the album is Funkadelic's first – and it's a swirling mass of psychedelic guitars, echoey drums, and bass-heavy riffing, all topped off by the band's harmony vocals, which sound like a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(50th Anniversary heavyweight orange vinyl pressing!)
Funkadelic —
Maggot Brain ... LP Westbound/Ace (UK), 1971. New Copy Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever! The set moves past the simple fuzzy style of the group's debut, and the overly-stoned sound of Free Your Mind – and rockets into a heady funk style that's filled with sly social commentary and an incredibly dark ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Maggot Brain (180 gram LP pressing – with bonus 12" single) ... LP 34.99

Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever!

Stax/Ace (UK), 1974. New Copy 2LP ... $27.99 32.99
Massive work from Isaac Hayes – a hard and heavy soundtrack that we like even more than his classic work on Shaft!

Ace (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $18.99
The long-overdue return of a southern soul legend – as the great Willie Hightower returns to the Muscle Shoals scene that gave him some of his best music of the 60s!

Etta James —
Good Rockin Mama – Her 1950s Rock & Roll Dance Party ... LP Ace (UK), Late 50s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Rare early work from Etta James – material cut during the late 50s for the west coast Modern Records label, most of it a lot harder-hitting than Etta's more famous music for Chess in the 60s! Given the raw power of Etta James at Chess, that's saying a heck of a lot – and you'll ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ty Karim —
Wear Your Natural Baby (red vinyl pressing) ... LP Ace/Kent (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Wonderful work from Ty Karim – an LA singer from the 60s, just waiting to be rediscovered!

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! Like The Coasters, The Olympics often mixed in a good deal of humor with their tunes – not only in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fame/Ace (UK), 1960s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99 29.99

Ace (UK), Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $7.99
The Teen Queens were a hip R&B duo who deserve a lot more credit than their silly name might make you think. They had a style that was part raw R&B, and part 60s girl group, years before the girl group format was around long enough to become a cliche! LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 80s issue. Cover has lightly bet corners and a small stain.)
Stax/Ace (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2 LPs ... $18.99 24.99
The funkiest man? Could well be – and this set will more than support that case!

Larry Williams —
Dizzy Miss Lizzy ... LP Specialty/Ace (UK), Late 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A key collection of work by Larry Williams – the 50's R&B artist who's too-often written off as a rocker, but who actually went onto have a key influence in the early years of soul! Like Johnny Guitar Watson, another contemporary with whom Larry sometimes recorded, Williams had a style ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brunswick/Ace (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Ace and their related ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ace (UK), Late 80s/Early 90s. New Copy ... $29.99 36.99
A well-done look at a genre that kind of snuck in under the wire – music that carries some late traces of electro, touched with underground club styles, but also delivered in a way that's plenty darn catchy, with a great ear for a hook and a groovy sort of sing-song lyric! The music is heavy ... (Funky Compilations, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

This is mod, and a bit more too – as the set moves past some of the overdone tropes of the UK mod scene in the 60s – getting past some of the Motown hits and UK blues rock to focus on some of the more underground cuts that would have played well on the ultra-hip sides of the scene!

Ace (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $29.99 34.99
A really cool record, and one that digs deep into the earliest days of the disco scene – that time in New York where there weren't any records being made as strictly "disco" cuts – and DJs had to make their pick of soul and funk records from a time when the music was really ...
