Baby Huey Story – The Living Legend ... CD 
Curtom (Japan), 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Fantastic! The lost link in the Chicago soul scene of the 60s was Baby Huey – and he was a pretty darn big link too, if you've ever seen him in pictures! Weighing in at about 300 pounds, Baby Huey was sort of a rockin' soul star who played clubs on both sides of the city, to audiences of ... read more CD

Linda Clifford —
Here's My Love ... LP 
RSO/Curtom, 1979. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Unabashed diva work from Linda Clifford – and a record that brings together the best midtempo soul of her earlier Curtom work, with the stronger, fuller disco groove that she was hitting as her career progressed!

Linda Clifford —
If My Friends Could See Me Now ... LP Curtom, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The standout classic from Curtom disco diva Linda Clifford – and an album that showed that Chicago could rival Philly in the clubby groove department!

Curtom, 1977. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Linda's first effort for Curtom, and a record that's got a bit more soul than some of her later more disco-oriented albums. Unfortunately, it's also got a bit more schmaltz – but if you stay away from the sillier cuts, you'll get some tasty mellow soul that's a good bridge between Linda's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Five Stairsteps & Cubie —
Love's Happening ... LP Curtom, 1969. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
This set may be the best record ever by thie Chicago soul group!

Leroy Hutson —
Hutson II ... LP Curtom, 1976. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of our favorite soul albums ever – a complete masterpiece from the mighty Leroy Hutson, easily one of the greatest soul singers of the 70s! The album's got a warmth that's amazing, yet also still manages to groove all the way through – hitting a subtle, almost mellow vibe that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Leroy Hutson —
Love Oh Love ... LP Curtom/Buddah, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Killer early soul by Leroy Hutson – and a record that really shows him opening up as a vocalist and songwriter! Leroy's got a sound here that's pivotal in terms of Chicago soul – still some of the down-to-earth vibes of the city's indie scene in the 60s, but with that growing sense of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Curtom/Acid Jazz (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
A great little set from Leroy Hutson – proof that he was still going strong through all his years at Curtom! The vibe here is a bit different than his first few records, and you might be suspicious with Leroy wearing a disco shirt on the front – but the sound is wonderful, and only ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Impressions —
Finally Got Myself Together ... LP Curtom, 1974. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great little album by The Impressions – possibly their best of the 70s!

Impressions —
This Is My Country ... LP Curtom, 1968. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The Impressions are wearing their politics much more on their sleeve at this point – what with a cover that shows them standing in the rubble of the ghetto, and a title that is both a bold proclamation of ownership, and a sad comment on the state of affairs. Curtis Mayfield's pen is in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Impressions —
Three The Hard Way/Curtom/American Beat, 1974/1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
Mindblowing work by The Impressions – a double-length set that's totally great!

Pure genius from Curtis Mayfield – and a record that's got all the righteousness and political power you might guess from the cover!

Curtis Mayfield —
Do It All Night ... LP Curtom, 1978. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A clubbier album than usual from Curtis Mayfield – a mid 70s attempt to move onto the dancefloor, but a set that's still got the undeniable Mayfield charm!

Curtis Mayfield —
Give, Get, Take And Have ... CD Curtom/Ichiban, 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked mid 70s gem from Curtis Mayfield – a record that's recorded with a slightly less righteous mode than his earliest work for Curtom – but still plenty darn great! The emphasis here is on warmer, sweeter styles – tunes that mix a subtle approach to funk with some great ... read more CD
Curtis Mayfield —
Got To Find A Way ... LP Curtom, 1974. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A great album that's often overlooked amidst the flurry of early 70's releases on Curtom, but which stands as one of Mayfield's greatest from the 70s! In fact, we'd say that the album's one that we enjoy putting on more than most – because the songs are less familiar, and not nearly as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Curtis Mayfield —
Live In Europe ... CD Curtom, 1988. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great little live set from Curtis – recorded in Europe in 1987, but with a sound that's pretty darn great! The music is played by a small jazzy combo that includes Master Henry Gibson on congas – and while the use of more modern keyboards make the set sound different than Curtis' ... read more CD

Curtis Mayfield —
Never Say You Can't Survive ... CD Curtom/Ichiban, 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great album of mellow soul tracks from Curtis Mayfield – laidback, slinky, and almost to his earlier work what Let's Get It On was to the early 70s career of Marvin Gaye! The album's got a warm, soulful vibe that's totally great – not as all-out funky or politically righteous as ... read more CD

Something To Believe In ... LP Curtom/RSO, 1980. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock

Sweet Exorcist ... LP Curtom, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A wonderfully wicked album from Curtis Mayfield – one that's not nearly as famous as his Superfly set, but which is every bit as great!

A great album by Curtis Mayfield – filled with some excellent lesser-known gems! There's No Place Like America was Curtis' scathing testament to the State Of The Union – and it's got a hip political tone that's right up there with the best of his early 70s songwriting – perhaps ... read more CD

Curtis Mayfield & Linda Clifford —
Right Combination ... LP Curtom/RSO, 1980. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An album of duets that Curtis cut with rising disco star Linda Clifford – who by 1980 may well have been earning more money for Curtom than Curtis! The album's about half disco tracks, half soul duets in a Chicago mode – and arrangements are by Gil Askey and Norman Harris. Tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
