Prince —
Sign O The Times ... LP Paisley Park/Warner, 1987. Very Good+ 2LP ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic record from Prince – a double-length set that came out at a time when the purple one was brimming over with energy and new ideas – and a step slightly in the direction of more socially conscious material!

Many Facets Of Roger ... LP Warner, 1981. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
There's many facets of Roger – and they're all pretty darn funky!

Unlock Your Mind ... LP Warner, 1978. Very Good+ ... $2.99

Candi Staton —
Music Speaks Louder Than Words ... LP Warner, 1977. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A lost bit of mid 70s soul from Candi – an album that's often eclipsed by the Young Hearts hit before it, but which actually comes across stronger than that one!

Young Hearts Run Free ... LP Warner, 1976. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
