Time —
What Time Is It? ... LP Warner, 1982. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The second essential LP from the Time that would solidify Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis' position as a force to be dealt within commercial R&B for years to come, cut during the early 80s, when Minneapolis seemed like it was exploding at the seams with great music. With Morris Day's nice extended ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve – A great copy!)
Allen Toussaint —
Motion ... LP Warner, 1978. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A bit of a change for Allen Toussaint – the kind of an album that makes good use of all the connections he was making during the early 70s, when he was becoming the darling of the Warner Brothers scene in LA. Overall, Allen's getting pretty smooth by this point – so smooth that even ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo stamp, some ring impressions, edge wear, unglued bottom seam, and is lightly bent at the bottom left corner.)
Tower Of Power —
Bump City ... LP Warner, 1972. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Tower Of Power move down to Memphis for the recording of this great second album – and almost pick up a bit of Stax Records vibe in the process! The Memphis location is a key hint to the groove going on down here – a sound that's steeped in southern elements, even though the group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label pressing. A great copy!)
Tower Of Power —
Live & In Living Color ... LP Warner, 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Burbank label pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, and a small sticker in front.)
Undisputed Truth —
Smokin' ... LP Warner/Whitfield, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The Undisputed Truth are still going very strong at the end of the 70s – working with original producer Norman Whitfield, in a groove that's every bit as wonderful as their early years! There's a killer mix of funk and deeper soul here that few other acts could handle this well – a way ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Vanity 6 —
Vanity 6 ... LP Warner, 1982. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The only record from this group that would sort of morph into Apollonia 6, one of many Prince vehicles during the 80s. As you'd hope from a Prince side project, the tracks here bubble with his new wave/pop/funk crossover, though really the hit "Nasty Girl" is pretty much the only ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, small index sticker.)
Miroslav Vitous —
Magical Shepherd ... LP Warner, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Very tasty funky fusion session, cut by bassist Miroslav Vitous in San Francisco – along with a group that includes Airto, Herbie Hancock, and Jack DeJohnette. The sound is very much in keeping with Herbie's early 70s funk albums – with lots of nice long electric grooves, and spare ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1977. Sealed ... $7.99
The final Warner Brothers album from Dionne Warwick – and a smooth, sophisticated affair done with full arrangements from Michael Omartian! The sound's still not as pop disco as you might expect from the time, and Dionne's gentle vocals are often cast in backings that step along nicely with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch.)
Dionne Warwick —
Track Of The Cat ... LP Warner, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful album from Dionne Warwick – probably her greatest record after the early years! The session was recorded with production by Thom Bell at Sigma Sound in Philly – and the style is a sweet blend of Philly modes, from fragile ballads to midtempo groovers, all done in a warm and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner, 1968. Very Good- ... $24.99
Mad mad funk, and the fantastic second LP by the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band – the group that proved to everyone that LA could be just as funky as any other city in the 60s! The record draws strongly from the group's indie roots in the funky 45 scene – and the album's filled with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original white label promo – clean, with some light marks. Cover has some light wear, but is nice.)
Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band —
Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band (aka Hot Heat & Sweet Groove) ... LP Warner, 1968. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Fantastic funk from the 60s LA scene – and the first-ever album by a group who would dominate the west coast groove of the time! This first outing by the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band takes off nicely from the group's funky 45 years – using larger arrangements to expand upon their ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has a split bottom seam with splitting on the spine & top seam, some surface wear & aging.)
Charles Wright —
Rhythm & Poetry ... LP Warner, 1972. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The first solo album by Charles Wright – and a really mindblowing set that shows that he was the key psychedelic force in the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band! The set's got a much more stoner funk approach than ever before – one that's clearly fascinated with the bassy "rhythm" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original green label pressing. Cover has light wear and a cut corner – but overall this is a nice copy!)
Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Band —
You're So Beautiful ... LP Warner, 1971. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
The last album recorded by Charles Wright with the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band – and a set that's even more stretched out and trippy than their other albums! Gone are the tight short cuts of earlier days, and in their place are longer messed-up funky numbers that have more of a jamming ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – a great copy! Cover has a very small cut corner.)
Yellowjackets —
Yellowjackets ... LP Warner, 1981. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly wonderful debut from the Yellowjackets – one of those groups who've become such a cliche that we forget how great they can be when they're on! This original album was cut years before "smooth jazz" meant "too slick to have soul" – and it's got a sweet ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed copy with 'sealed' sticker under the shrink. Cover has bumped corners.)
Zapp —
New Zapp IV U ... LP Warner, 1985. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Zapp at the height of their powers – a bit more focused than before, but every bit as funky! Roger's production here is impeccable – done with a great ear for the most soulful side of the group's talents, which keeps them far from some of the more commercial groups who were copping ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Zapp —
Zapp ... LP Warner, 1980. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The classic first album by this legendary funky combo – a group who not only went onto change the sound of funk in the 80s, but also went onto have a huge impact on generations of hip hop as well! The album burns from the very first note – the wicked snapping funk of "More Bounce ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Zapp —
Zapp II ... LP Warner, 1982. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Seminal work from Roger Troutman and Zapp – a killer batch of cuts that forever changed the sound of funk! The group's "wheeeeeeet/whomp!" sound is very firmly in place by the time of this release – and the sound here is even more electric than their debut – a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, unglued top seam, and is bent at the bottom right corner.)
Loma/Warner (UK), Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $24.99 29.99
A special version of this excellent series – with an album by each artist in the package! Side one features a killer album by the justly described Great JJ Jackson – and one that's been a darn tough one to find over the years! The leadoff cut is JJ's amazing single "But It's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s issue. Cover has unglued seams and is bent just a bit at the top seam.)
