Capitol, 1977. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic bit of spacey soul – and an amazing collaboration between the Mizell Brothers and vocalist Rance Allen!

Ashford & Simpson —
High Rise ... LP Capitol, 1983. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Always-great work from the team of Ashford & Simpson – the kind of a record that has them at the top of their game, even though they'd changed their overall sound over the years!

Dang, these guys could never miss! Even in later years, Ashford and Simpson were still going strong – working here in a wonderfully mellow style that's as soulful for the moment as their mid 70s groovers were for that time.

George Clinton —
Atomic Dog (special atomic mix, LP version, inst) ... 12-inch Capitol, 1982. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of George Clinton's biggest hits – and probably his last gasp on the charts in a major way. The cut's a logical extension of late 70s P-Funk – with more of the bass-popping 80s grooves and electro touches that Clinton had inspired in so many other funky groups at the time. 12-inch, Vinyl record

Natalie Cole's stunning debut for Capitol Records in the mid 70s – a real surprise, and a set that should have had the singer blossoming even more than she did at the time!

Disco Bill ... LP Capitol, 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the more obscure Bill Cosby soul albums – not nearly as "disco" as the title implies, more in a smoother soul vein, almost a bit like Barry White.

Thomas Dolby —
Flat Earth ... LP Capitol, 1984. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked early 80s gem from Thomas Dolby – a beautifully mellow album that comes across with less of the quirky pop touches of his earlier work!

Bert Robinson —
No More Cold Nights ... LP Capitol, 1987. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked debut from singer Bert Robinson – an artist who was part of the large Al Hudson/One Way collective from Detroit, but who really comes into his own in this sweet little set!

Dakota Staton —
Late Late Show ... LP Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A Capitol classic from Dakota Staton – and the record that made her a real leading lady at the label in the years before Nancy Wilson's rise! The set's got a wonderfully laidback feel that's in keeping with the title, yet it also swings nicely too – kind of a new level of soul in jazz ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Barrett Strong —
Stronghold ... LP Capitol, 1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Surprisingly nice album of modern soul grooves cut by the man who's best known for the classic Motown track "Money".

Sun —
Sunburn ... LP Capitol, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Massive work from Sun – a tightly crafted batch of dancefloor funk that reminds us of some of our favorite work from Fantasy Records at the time – especially some of the more righteous groups that blended equal parts jazz and soul! Sun's got a tightness here that's amazing – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
T-Connection —
Everything Is Cool ... LP Capitol, 1981. Very Good ... $4.99
A near-lost 80s groover from T-Connection – recorded after their more famous albums for TK, but every bit as nice! By this point, the group have really sweetened their sound in a nice way – and are working in a Capitol Rare-styled 80s groove that's filled with rolling basslines, spacey ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Taste Of Honey —
Another Taste ... LP Capitol, 1979. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great album of grooves from Taste Of Honey – arguably their best record, thanks to some super production by The Mizell Brothers! The elements that worked so well on the self-titled smash from the previous year are in just as fine a form here – if not better. There's an overall ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Taste Of Honey —
Taste Of Honey ... LP Capitol, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Probably the most successful album the Mizell Brothers ever produced, and a fine set of uptempo groovers from this female soul duet! There's some nice jazzy moments underneath the catchy lyrics, and in a way, the album's style is sort of a blueprint for the sound that would emerge over the next ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sill in the original shrink with hype sticker!)
Taste Of Honey —
Twice As Sweet ... LP Capitol, 1980. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Twice as sweet, and mighty neat – a killer set from Taste Of Honey, and one that has the girls moving away from Mizell Brothers help in the studio, and getting some great grooves from George Duke! Duke brings in all his best jazzy soul to the duo – lots of keyboards stepping around the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
One of Capitol's biggest soul bands of the 70s – and a strong sweet group who made the shift from mellow soul to the disco years. The set kicks off with the band's massive "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel", but we prefer their mellower stuff – like their sublime version of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tavares —
Check It Out ... LP Capitol, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of Tavares' earliest albums – and a sweet modern group soul record produced by Johnny Bristol – one that hinted at the promise of greater soul that Capitol Records would deliver later in the decade! Tavares have a warmly sweeping sound that's a nice change from some of their ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tavares —
Love Storm ... LP Capitol, 1977. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A definite love storm from Tavares – a set that has the group's vocal approach honed to perfection – really soaring high with some sweet clubby arrangements from Freddie Perren! The album came at a time when the group was riding high on mainstream disco fame – but it's hardly a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol, 1980. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Always-great work from Tavares – one of those groups who never seemed to miss, and who seemed to weather the disco era a lot better than most of their contemporaries! This 1980 album is key proof of that fact – a tremendous little set, done at a point when Tavares could have rested on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Tavares —
Never Had A Love Like This Before (voc, inst) ... 12-inch Capitol, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

(In a Capitol Disco sleeve.)
Capitol, 1976. Near Mint- ... $13.99
A stone 70s classic from Tavares – quite possibly the group's biggest album, and a masterpiece of LA vocal group soul!

(In the embossed cover. Includes the printed inner sleeve. A nice copy!)
Lillo Thomas —
All Of You ... LP Capitol, 1984. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Lillo Thomas has a mighty nice vocal style here – one that's a bit high in the spectrum, and which works perfectly with the sweet keyboards in the grooves! Thomas takes the lyrics right up to the top of the mix – and floats them way high above the basslines, but still in a way that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available All Of You ... CD 7.99(Cover has light wear and a track note in pen.)
Lillo Thomas —
Let Me Be Yours ... LP Capitol, 1983. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A real 80s groover from Lillo Thomas – plenty of keyboards, snapping rhythms, and a sweetly gliding rhythm that beautifully supports Thomas' high-pitched vocals! The style owes a fair bit to territory first hit by Michael Jackson at the end of the 70s, but it still sounds surprisingly great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light edge wear and a bit of pen on the back.)

Capitol, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Ed Townsend's best known as a famous songwriter and producer – whose work through the 60s and 70s made him more than a bit of green – but this early album has Ed trying his pipes as a male vocal lead, singing in a style that's smooth and mellow, a bit in the vein of Jesse Belvin, and ...
