Saturday Night Fever ... LP RSO, 1977. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Yes, it was a mega-hit – and yes, it was one of those records that everyone who lived through the 70s seemed to own at one time – but after all these decades, you can't deny the power of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack – especially for the way that it mixed club soul classics ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

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! The album features some production work by Norman Harris and Curtis Mayfield ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
Electric 70s work from Freddie – not exactly funky, but with a nice chunky bottom that makes the record stand out a bit from the pack of blues work at the time. Titles include "Sugar Sweet", "She's A Burglar", "Pulp Wood", "My Credit Didn't Go Through" ... (Blues, Soul)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A posthumous collection of work from Freddie King – material recorded in a variety of different sources, but all of it with Freddie's well-honed guitar sound in the lead! Some tracks were done down at Criteria Studios in Miami, and have a warmly southern sort of glow – others were done ... (Blues, Soul)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Straight ahead electric blues from Freddie – slick, and with a slight bit of funk – but mostly in the crossover mode that would have hit big with the college and festival crowd. Production is very full, and titles include "Boogie Bump", "The Things I Used To Do", ... (Blues, Soul)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Beige label pressing with SRC stamp. Cover has light wear.)
Quite an obscure one by Love – a mid 70s record that actually has quite a bit of soul in the mix! The album almost seems to be going for a Sly Stone approach – expanding the group past Arthur Lee and crew with a host of additional players that include Harvey Mandel, Bobby Lyle, and ...

Curtis Mayfield —
Heartbeat ... LP Curtom/RSO, 1979. Very Good+ ...
Out Of Stock
A real dancefloor set from Curtis – recorded with some sweet Philly production from the likes of Norman Harris and Bunny Sigler – in the sweeping, soaring, strings-heavy mode of the Philly disco records of the time! And yes, this isn't classic Curtis from the righteous years – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the last great Curtis Mayfield albums – often overlooked, but essential in any collection of his work! The sound is still very much in the classic Curtom mode, with less of the uptempo and disco groovers that were showing up on some of the other records from the time – and more ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
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 moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has a promo stamp, some ring and edge wear, light sticker spots, light manufacturing crimp about 3 inches from the top edge, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
Jimmy Ruffin —
Sunrise ... LP RSO, 1980. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A surprising turn for Jimmy Ruffin – given that the ex-Motown singer is working here with Robin Gibb, who co-produced and wrote a number of the tunes too, in collaboration with Blue Weaver! The approach works well, though – and gives that amazing Jimmy Ruffin voice a whole new setting ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
