A&M, 1971. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
A great bit of 70s electric work from Quincy – and probably his funkiest album ever!

Polydor, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Long heavy disco tracks with nice touches of African percussion. Cerrone produced, and the tracks include "Africanism", "Tatoo Woman", and "Dr. Doo Dah". European club disco, but not without some nice funky moments – largely due to the percussion! LP, Vinyl record album

De-Lite/Big Break (UK), 1984. New Copy 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet 80s sounds from the legendary Kool & The Gang – one of the key classics from the second chapter of the group – when their lineup and sound were a lot leaner than before, and they managed to cross over big to a much wider audience than before! The upbeat cuts show that the ... read more CD

Force ... LP De-Lite, 1977. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Kool & The Gang's a little bit slicker and a little bit smoother on The Force than on earlier classic records – but thankfully, they're still getting on down to the funky sounds! The Force does indeed have more of a spacey boogie than a jungle boogie vibe, but they're still doing what we ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

BGO (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy 3 CDs ... $18.99 20.99
A massive package of work from the mighty Kool & The Gang – 6 full albums from the 80s, served up here in a 3CD set! First up is Ladies Night – a shameless dancefloor cash-in move – but a record that's still pretty darn great as well! You all know the big title cut "Ladi ... read more CD
De-Lite, 1974. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $11.99
It's the mid 70s, and Kool & Co not only keep the funky groove up, but also expand their style into a moogy style that adds a nice dimension of spacey soul to their rich palette of funk. The funkier cuts – like "Street Corner Symphony" and "Rhyme Tyme People" – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
De-Lite/Big Break (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A pivotal album from Kool & The Gang – a record that pushes the group past their roots as a funky 45 combo, and into larger, more righteous territory overall! There's some nicely spiritual vibes running through the set – almost as if they borrowed a bit of energy from Earth Wind ... read more CD
Omnivore, 2021. New Copy ... $15.99 16.98
Kool & The Gang are back in action – crackling forth with a new sort of energy that also has the group bringing a sense of positivity to their music! The vibe here is very different than their funky 45 work of the early days, and their big crossover cuts at the start of the 80s – ... read more CD

Mercury, 1980. Very Good ... $8.99
Sublime work from this jazzy harmony combo – a really unique group who took older vocal modes and fused them onto tight modern soul grooves!

Stones Throw, 1970. New Copy ... $6.99 14.98
Sweet jazzy funk – from the cornbelt of Omaha! The LA Carnival are one of those rarer-than-rare funk groups who not only never got their due back in the day – but also recorded a heck of a lot of great material that never even got issued! They have a totally great sound that bubbles ... read more CD
