A much-needed look at the Mercury years of Hamilton Bohannon – and a treasure-trove of unreissued funky dancefloor tracks!

Ugly Ego ... CD Chocolate City/Universal (UK), 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite albums ever from Cameo – the group's third release! The album's got a great approach that hints at more sophisticated soul styles, but which is still firmly in charge of the bass-driven grooves that made their early albums so great – a compressed approach to the ... read more CD

Smackwater Jack (Japanese pressing) ... CD A&M/Universal (Japan), 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great bit of 70s electric work from Quincy – and probably his funkiest album ever!
