Sil Austin Plays Pretty For The People ... LP Mercury, 1959. Very Good+ ... $0.99
No honking here, as Sil Austin takes his deeply soulful tenor sax, and turns it to a set of creamy late-nite tracks – all done over some very "pretty" backings, ala the Verve strings work of Ben Webster or Lester Young. Most cuts have voices in with the orchestrations – and ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing. Cover has edge wear.)
Betty Wright —
Betty Wright Live ... LP Alston/TK, 1978. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A fantastic live album from the great Betty Wright – and one of the few recorded documents of the way that classic soul singers would evolve the nature of their songs in a concert setting! Betty's recording for Alston/TK here, but the mode she uses is one that would grace countless ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Freddie King —
Texas Cannonball ... LP Shelter, 1972. Very Good+ ... $39.99
Freddie King first rose to prominence in the 60s as a hell of a guitarist with a penchant for searing licks – but 70s records like this really put him over the top as a vocalist too! The set was done for Leon Russell's Shelter label – and Russell produced and plays piano and organ on ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has some wear & aging.)
Billy Ocean —
Suddenly ... CD Jive/Arista, 1984. Used ... $3.99
The album that made Billy Ocean a superstar for a little while, one that had a HUGE couple of years on the charts, even longer service as a snapshot of its era, and is now one that we can look at freshly and appreciate for all of the unstoppably catchy pop soul craft that made it so massive in the ... read more CD

SJOB Movement —
Move In The Right Direction ... LP EMI (Nigeria), 1974. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Heavy heady funk from the 70s Nigerian scene – a wicked little record that's unlike anything else we've heard before! SJOB is a combo made from ex-members of the group of Sonny Okosuns – all top-shelf players who've clearly got their chops down in the groove department, but are also ...

(70s light blue label pressing. Cover has light wear – very common for this one – and a bit of splitting on the spine – but vinyl is great!)
Floaters —
Float On ... CD MCA, 1977. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Not to be confused with the Floaters first album, this is a pretty tasty batch of tracks from the group's short run on ABC records in the late 70s. The centerpiece of the CD is the title cut – "Float On" – the group's enduring favorite, and a massive track that's presented ... read more CD

James Ingram —
It's Real ... CD Warner, 1989. Used ... $4.99
Great vocals and modern production – a mix of James Ingram's older roots in soul music, and some of the more contemporary soul modes coming down at the end of the 80s!

(Out of print, BMG direct pressing.)
Alexander O' Neal —
All True Man ... CD Tabu, 1991. Used ... $2.99
A classic set from all-true Alexander O'Neal – and maybe one of his last great records for the Tabu label! The set's got a nice balance of groovers and mellower moments – really showing the growing diversity of O'Neal as an artist, as he tries to move away from some of his bigger ... read more CD
(Out of print original pressing, booklet has some light wear.)
Larry Williams —
Dizzy Miss Lizzy ... LP Specialty/Ace (UK), Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A key collection of work by Larry Williams – the 50's R&B artist who's too-often written off as a rocker, but who actually went onto have a key influence in the early years of soul! Like Johnny Guitar Watson, another contemporary with whom Larry sometimes recorded, Williams had a style ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Laura Nyro with Labelle —
Gonna Take A Miracle ... LP Columbia, 1971. Very Good+ ... $12.99
A tremendous album from Laura Nyro – a real return to the soulful style of her roots, thanks to help from Labelle on backing vocals, and the team of Gamble & Huff on production!

Best Of Joe Simon ... LP Sound Stage 7, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A great summation of the best of Joe's early work – which is really some of our favorite!

Prince —
Prince ... LP Warner, 1979. Very Good+ ... $39.99
An overlooked record in the grand scheme – which is unforgivable in our book!

Webster Lewis —
Live At Kongsberg Jazz 1971 ... LP Jazzaggression (Finland), 1971. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Totally great work from the legendary keyboard giant Webster Lewis – very different than the major label records he cut in America during the late 70s, and instead this wonderful blend of jazz, funk, and soul! Webster plays Hammond, and spins out tunes that start slow, then build nicely ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited, numbered pressing – in original sleeve!)
Etta James —
At Last (Original Chess Masters) ... LP Chess/MCA, 1960. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
An amazing step forward for the young Etta James – a singer who was delivering a raw, shouting form of R&B just a few years before – but who here ascends into soul music heaven with her famous work on the album! The title cut is the stuff of legend – played and played, again ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sly & The Family Stone —
Life (with bonus tracks) ... CD Epic, 1968. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Killer work from Sly & The Family Stone – hard-grooving, fast-funking, and really setting the scene for countless groups to come! The album's a messed-up funky party, with plenty of short little tracks that have a mix of funk, soul, and rock – perfect for the crossover crowd from ... read more CD
(Slight crack on digipak CD holder.)
Jerry Butler —
It All Comes Out In My Song ... LP Motown, 1977. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Proof that Jerry Butler could always be great, no matter what the setting – and that even an overlooked album like this can still be pretty darn great! The album's got less of a focus than Jerry's earlier Mercury work or later sides for Philly – but it's also got a subtle and sometimes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
