Mercury, 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
One of the best-remembered albums from Greek singer Demis Roussous – a soulful 70s set that's quite a change from his early material in the group Aphrodite's Child! The set was recorded in the US, with warm soulful arrangements from Don Peake and Freddie Perren – who serve up some ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

She Works Hard For The Money ... LP Mercury, 1983. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the last great pop records from Donna Summer – thanks to super huge radio and video play for the title cut – and to a huge amount of tuneful tracks put together by producer/arranger Michael Omartin!

Swing Out Sister —
It's Better To Travel ... LP Mercury, 1987. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly great guilty pleasure from the 80s – the first album from Swing Out Sister, recorded when all the excitement of the UK post punk scene had just about faded, and most of the groups had left their exciting early roots behind. Enter these guys, picking up the last shreds of jazzy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Howard Tate —
Get It While You Can – The Legendary Sessions ... CD Mercury, Late 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Howard Tate is one of the most overlooked soul singers of the late 60's – or at least he was, until finally getting his due in recent years! Howard's got an incredible vocal style that ranks him right up there with the best deep soul singers of his time – and a heartbreaking way of ... read more CD
Tears For Fears —
Hurting (180 gram pressing) ... LP Mercury, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Prime 80s work from Tears For Fears – a duo who manage to mix new romantic charms with some surprisingly strong electro pop styles!

Songs From The Big Chair ... CD Mercury, 1985. Used ... Out Of Stock
Was there a finer moment of 80s pop than this little gem?

Sons Of Soul ... CD Wing/Mercury, 1993. Used ... Out Of Stock
A really wonderful album from Tony Toni Tone – maybe the set that showed the world that they could be way more than a playful pop soul act – thanks to some surprisingly strong harmonies throughout! The set's not exactly old school, but it almost marks a revival of the sound of some of ... read more CD
Trio —
Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha/Mercury, 1982. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Dee Dee Warwick —
I Want To Be With You – The Mercury/Mercury/Hip-O, Late 60s/Early 70s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Excellent work by Dionne Warwick's soulful sister! Dee Dee is one of the great unsung heroes of 60s soul – and although she cut a fair bit of work back in the day, much of it is yet to be properly reissued. That situation has changed for the better with this excellent set – a 26 track ... read more CD

Yarbrough & Peoples —
Two Of Us ... LP Mercury, 1980. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A massive hit for the duo of Calvin Yarbrough and Alisa Peoples – and for good reason too! The set's equally well-balanced between upbeat, keyboard-heavy groovers and key mellower tracks – just the kind of rounded record we might expect from Ashford & Simpson at their late 70s best ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yello —
Flag ... LP Mercury, 1988. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the most dramatically poppy albums from Yello – a set that takes their older electric groove and infuses it with a bit more theatrics and dancefloor-styled rhythms! Flag's really the record that probably sums up the mainstream vision of Yello the best – that image of mustachioed ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yello —
One Second ... CD Mercury, 1987. Used ... Out Of Stock
Certainly a more pop-based effort than some of Yello's previous albums, but still a great little record – filled with playful electronics and a really unique sense of rhythm and groove!

Stella ... CD Mercury, 1985. Used ... $2.99
Thank John Hughes & Ferris Beuller for the fame of this one – the album that pushed Yello over the top with the perennial favorite "Oh Yeah" – a tune that's been used countless times over the years since that famous soundtrack, and which still resonates on TV commercials ...

Timi Yuro —
Amazing Timi Yuro – The Mercury Years ... CD Mercury (UK), Mid 60s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Amazing is right – as Timi Yuro's one of the most soulful voices of the 60s, but a singer who's often overlooked because her work fell into a unique space between jazz and soul! The CD offers a much-needed look at Timi's mid-60s years on the Mercury label – a key point of maturity, and ... read more CD

An incredible album of early 60s soul tracks from South Africa – issued here in the US by Mercury!
