Best Of Jerry Butler (Vee Jay) ... LP Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Nice compilation of tracks that features some fine (and famous) moments from one of our favorite Chicago soul singers, recorded for the Vee Jay label, when they were one of the leading lights on music row. Most of these songs are pretty had to get a hold of on vinyl any more, and though the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vee Jay/Chameleon, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Late 80s Hall Of Fame Series pressing.)
Jerry Butler —
More Of The Best Of Jerry Butler ... LP Vee Jay, Early 60s. Good ... Out Of Stock
Some of our favorite tunes ever by Jerry Butler – a great collection that brings together some of his hits and some of his lesser known work for Vee Jay. The Iceman style is very firmly in place here – and next to hits like "I Stand Accused" and "Need To Belong", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Vinyl plays with some surface noise and faint crackle. Cover has split seams, some wear and aging, and a name in pen in back.)

Gene Chandler —
Duke Of Earl (Vee Jay) ... LP Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A sweet soul classic from the young Gene Chandler! The record is built around Gene's hit "Duke Of Earl" – and it features Gene in a ridiculous looking "Duke" costume on the cover – but the record's a great one overall, and features some excellent late-night soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has a small bit of tape on the top seam, but this is a very nice copy overall.)
Dee Clark —
Hold On – It's Dee Clark ... LP Vee Jay, 1961. Good ... Out Of Stock
A real classic from Chicago soulman Dee Clark – and one of those crazy Vee Jay albums packaged in a cover with an image of young white love! Despite that cloying image, though, the record has a tremendous depth – and is a great illustration of the versatility of Clark at his best, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Vinyl plays with some surface noise and faint crackle. Cover has some wear and aging, wide center split in the bottom seam, and is stained around the edges in back.)
Vee Jay, 1960. Near Mint- ... $34.99
Dee Clark cracked the charts big with a few crossover hits – but he's an excellent soul singer with a raspy tone that almost set the stage for some of the deeper soul acts to come in the 60s! The style here is very much in the mode of some of Jackie Wilson's best for Brunswick from the early ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label pressing – in great shape! Cover has splitting on the spine, a bit on top, and a light name in pen on the front and back. Vinyl is great.)
Vee Jay, 1953/1954. Used ... $9.99
A split LP, but a seminal full length album in the doo wop genre – one that was issued on Vee Jay, but brought together some key earlier work by The Flamingos and The Moonglows! Both groups here are at the height of their early powers – singing in a stripped-down and nearly acapella ... read more CD

Dick Gregory —
Talks Turkey ... CD Vee Jay/Collectables, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Dick Gregory's standout records from the early years – a set that has him talking turkey about a number of subjects that other comedians of the time wouldn't dare touch! Gregory's still quite funny at this point in his career, but also is showing plenty of the politics that would make ... (Comedy, Soul) read more CD

Plenty of Burnin from John Lee Hooker, and about as classic as you can get for his Vee Jay years – especially considering that the album starts out with Hooker's killer cut "Boom Boom" – a number that may well have set fire to a whole generation of British and American rockers! ...

Jimmy Reed —
Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall ... LP Vee Jay, 1961. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Rollicking country-tinged blues from Jimmy Reed and an incredible group of backing musicians – actually not captured in the opulent grandeur of Carnegie Hall – and probably all the better for it! Prior to the original double LP release of Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall, Reed headlined a ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Vee Jay, 1960. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Jimmy Reed, now appearing – playing with just the sort of groove that got him booked in plenty of clubs back in the day! The tunes chug along with a perfect gritty take on Chicago blues – that sharp-edged sound that Vee Jay Records did so well with Reed – making his albums like ...

We don't know much about smoochin' in Chicago, but we can tell you that this is a very sharp 25 track set that brings together essential lost vocal group sides from the Vee Jay catalog (including a number of nice ones that that label inherited from the tiny Parrot label).
