Jerry Butler —
Aware Of Love ... LP Vee Jay, 1961. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stone classic from Jerry Butler – the kind of album that goes way past his hits, and which shows the full depth of his work in the early years! The set features a great assortment of tunes that dwell in the darker corners of adult love – some of the first really well-crafted male ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original rainbow label pressing with Bell Sound stamp! Vinyl is great – cover has some light wear, a bit of seam splitting, and a small bit of tape.)
Vee Jay, 1963. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A great lost album from Jerry – and a key link in the hip Chicago scene that produced Terry Callier and Oscar Brown Jr! Sure, you might think of the album as a silly "cash in on the folk craze" effort – but Jerry keeps it soulful throughout, and thanks to some wonderful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing with Audiomatrix stamp. Cover has light wear, some aging, center split in the top seam, and is bent a bit at the corners.)
Vee Jay, 1960. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Classic Vee Jay work by Jerry Butler – one of his later albums for the label, but featuring a number of early tracks written with Curtis Mayfield! Includes the classic early Impressions-type duet "He Will Break Your Heart" – plus the cuts "Thanks To You", "I ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Chameleon Music Group reissue in an older cover, with light ringwear and some heavy edge wear.)
Jerry Butler —
Need To Belong ... LP Vee Jay, 1963. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Fantastic work by Chicago Iceman soulster Jerry Butler! Jerry's moving past the harmony formula of his earlier years with The Impressions, into a sophisticated style that would forever change the sound of male vocal soul. Jerry's a wonder with this material – delivering heartfelt ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear – vinyl is nice!)
Buddah/Vee Jay, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of a number of similarly titled compilations of tracks that features some of Jerry's finest (and famous) moments for the Vee Jay label. There's more than a few numbers here that have become pretty hard to find on vinyl, and the package doesn't appear to be all that special, the music is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jerry Butler —
Very Best Of Jerry Butler (UA) ... LP United Artists/Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Nice compilation of tracks that features some of Jerry's finest (and famous) moments for the Vee Jay label. Lots of this stuff is darn hard to find on vinyl, and although the packaging's kind of boring, the music is excellent. Tracks include "Find Another Girl", "Make It Easy On ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Exodus/Vee Jay, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $24.99
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 with deep groove – a nice copy. Cover has a bit of splitting on the top seam, but is nice overall.)
Vee Jay, 1960. Very Good+ ... $11.99 16.99
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
(Original rainbow label pressing, with deep groove – in great shape! Cover has a tiny bit of splitting on the top seam, but is great too.)
Vee Jay, Late 50s. Poor ... $9.99
Insanely wonderful doo-wop material from this legendary Chicago group – one of the few truly great full length albums in a mostly singles-dominated genre! The title track is well known not only for the original, but for a later famous sample by De La Soul – and it's a great example of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original maroon label pressing with deep groove. NOTE – Vinyl has melted spots and SKIPS on a few tracks on both sides! Cover has a bottom seam split, center top seam split. The back cover has light aging and tiny dotted stain spots.)
Betty Everett —
Very Best Of Betty Everett ... LP Vee Jay, Early 1960s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A nice set of tracks that goes past her huge "Shoop Shoop" hit to include a few of her great duets with Jerry Butler. Titles include "Let It Be Me" and "Smile", both with Jerry, plus "I Need You So", "It's All Right", "Chained To A Memory" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later black label pressing with bracket logo. Cover has some ring and edge wear, half split seams, and yellowing from age in back.)
Betty Everett & Jerry Butler —
Delicious Together ... LP Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Betty Everett and Jerry Butler certainly are delicious together – and the pair have more than enough great energy to hold on strong throughout this entire album of duets! Although Motown is probably best remembered as the home of the male/female duet mode of the 60s – Vee Jay certainly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
John Lee Hooker —
Burnin (180 gram red vinyl pressing) ... LP Vee Jay/Craft, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A set that's maybe not the first record from the great John Lee Hooker – but one that definitely helped push him over the top, and forever cement his place in the legend of 20th Century blues! The vibe here is a bit different than some of Hooker's earlier, rawer material – as he gets ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vee Jay, 1961. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Hardly a folk album, despite the title – and instead a wicked batch of raw bluesy numbers from the mighty John Lee Hooker! Two of the album's tracks were recorded live at the Newport Folk Fest, but the rest were done back in Chicago – with lots of gritty vocals and guitar from Hooker, ...

Steal Away ... LP Vee Jay, 1964. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Stellar work by Jimmy Hughes – one of those southern soul talents whose name you've heard, but can't always find on record!

... LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s issue.)
Billy Preston —
Most Exciting Organ Ever ... LP Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good- ... $5.99
One of Billy's best, and it's got a hard wailing raw groove that's missing from a lot of his later work! There's a very churchy sound in the organ, with all the stops open and a very large sound coming out of the speaker – and Billy wails in a manner that's similar to some of Jimmy McGriff's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo rainbow label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear on the bottom seam with a small split – but is nice otherwise!)
Jimmy Reed —
Best Of Jimmy Reed (Vee Jay) ... LP Vee Jay, Early 60s. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock

Jimmy Reed —
I'm Jimmy Reed ... LP Vee Jay, Late 50s. Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stone classic from Jimmy Reed – and one of the first few albums on the Vee Jay label! The sound is spare, rootsy, and bluesy – the kind of tunes that made Jimmy an instant favorite, and which were a key force in the Chicago blues sound of the 50s. The set features material recorded ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available I'm Jimmy Reed (with bonus tracks) ... CD 4.99(Original mono maroon label pressing with deep groove. NOTE: Vinyl has a heated edge and skips on "You Got Me Dizzy" and "Honest I Do". Cover has split seams)
Vee Jay, 1964. Very Good+ ... $19.99
A smoking live set from Jimmy Reed – filled with the kind of rocking, rollicking numbers that made his bluesy groove an undeniable influence on the UK scene of the 60s! Most numbers begin with a compelling vamp, then have Jimmy taking the lead on vocals – adding in plenty of charm in ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has light wear, some aging, and small splits in the bottom seam.)
Vee Jay, 1960. Very Good ... $39.99
An incredible full length album from The Spaniels – one that's mostly still in the group's older doo wop mode, but which also shows them picking up a bit of the Atlantic Records group sound of the early 60s! Many tracks make strong use of The Spaniels' classic vocal approach – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label pressing – clean, with some light marks. Cover has light wear, and a bit more near the bottom.)
