Iconoclassic/CBS, 1984. New Copy ... $10.99 11.98
The first breakaway effort from the trio of Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper, and Marvin Isley – a set that's got an even leaner groove than some of the Isley Brothers material from years before! The group really hit their stride right away – stepping out in a sweet array of funky rhythms ... read more CD
A&M, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
An all-star soundtrack to this comedy film from the 70s – starring Raquel Welch, Bill Cosby, and a very young Harvey Keitel!

A fantastic collection of work from one of the coolest, classiest soul singers of the 60s – one that we'd rank right up there with Jerry Butler or Walter Jackson for the way that he pushed the genre forward strongly with his music!

Freddie Jackson was certainly one of the biggest new soul stars of the 80s – and this debut LP is still a treasure! Freddie's got a skill that transcends his age – with an approach that's decidedly 80s, but classic enough to last for years and years. The songs on the record are all ... read more CD
Kent (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
A stunning collection of work from the great George Jackson – a real 70s powerhouse in southern soul, but an artist who didn't always get the chance to shine as much as he should! One reason for that was that Jackson only issued singles during the decade – work here collected from ... read more CD
Motown, 1980. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Jermaine's out to show that he's clearly the more laidback, mellower Jackson of the family here – and steps out nicely on this mature album of mostly ballads and love songs, done with some slight jazzy inflections!

Buddah, 1976. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A bit of a hit-or-miss smooth soul album from Buddah, but when it hits, it hits!

Fantastic soul from JJ – a monster 60s soul talent who's rarely given his due!

Spring/Southbound (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99
An excellent early album from Millie Jackson – recorded in a southern soul style in New York and Muscle Shoals, but a lot hipper than most of the rest of the female soul that was coming out of the south at the time. For one thing, Millie was a bad mamma singer – rapping hard and ... read more CD
Spring, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $4.99
Uncensored is right! Millie's live shows during the 70s were a lot raunchier than any of her records – and were usually filled with profanity, off-color jokes, and plenty of frank and foxy references to sex.
