Arista, 1989. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $3.99
... 12-inch, Vinyl record
Arista/FTG, 1984. Used ... $6.99
Maybe not dynamite, but an album that definitely has an explosive feel right from the start – thanks to some 80s grooves that really help re-ignite the solo career of Jermaine Jackson! Jermaine's soaring vocals are right at home in these beat-heavy arrangements – sparkling with a sense ... read more CD
Jermaine Jackson —
Feel The Fire ... LP Motown, 1977. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Jermaine's going the way of most of Motown at this point – popping the bass pretty heavily, and grooving in a smooth funky mode. The cuts that go too over the top with the funky stuff definitely lose us – but there's a few decent mellow soul tracks that redeem the album, and which keep ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jermaine Jackson —
My Name Is Jermaine ... LP Motown, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $3.99
A classic bit of mid 70s Motown from Jermaine – sounding way different than Michael or his brothers on this set, and working in a full groove that's graced by some nice bass work on a few cuts! The album features the standout instrumental "Bass Odyssey" – which lets Jermaine's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Respect, 1969. Sealed Gatefold ... $9.99
A classic speech by Jesse Jackson – one that became quite a hit for Stax's Respect subsidiary, and which was one of the better selling albums of its type in the early 70s. The album was recorded back in the days before Jesse had become a bit of a cliche, when he appeared to be emerging as ... (Comedy/Spoken, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Polydor/Cherry Pop (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $12.99
Long before Janet Jackson hit the spotlight, sister LaToya was the leading female star of the Jackson family – really stepping out with a great sort of sound on an early record like this!

Motown, 1971. Very Good ... $14.99
Early Michael Jackson at his best – a brilliant solo album that sparkles with honest warmth and sweet soul energy!

Epic, 1979. Very Good Gatefold ... $19.99
Michael, if only you'd stayed at this level! This 1979 solo album by Michael is a killer batch of soul grooves – one of his best moments ever, and a crowning cap to a stellar 70s run – both as a younger solo act, and with the whole Jackson family! Quincy Jones produced, and the album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sony, 1980s/1990s/2000s. Used 2CD/Book ... $3.99
The soundtrack to This Is It – the celebratory release of the King Of Pop's rehearsal footage from the days before his untimely death – which also serves as sort of a best of Michael's years at Epic/Sony!

Live & Uncensored ... LP Spring, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $2.99
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. She'd built her name on record through sweet heartbreaking southern soul sides ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Spring, 1979. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A bit of a disco effort from Millie, given the time, but also a record that still has plenty of nice soul touches – thanks to Brad Shapiro, Millie's longtime partner at the production helm!

A great follow up to Mille Jackson's classic Caught Up album – but one that's also a key turning point too!

Shawne was an obscure Canadian soul singer, and as far as we know, she only ever cut this one LP for RCA in the states.

Chi Sound, 1979. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Forget the million times you've heard the schmaltzy title tune of this one – and check out Walter's version!

An amazing bit of soul – and one of the rarest funk records of the 70s!

A heavy groove and a heady title that points the way towards Michael Jackson's soon-to-be legendary solo career – all served up in a batch of tracks that resonate nicely with the Off The Wall groove!

Philadelphia International, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
Great stuff – and a key link between the early work of the Jackson 5 on Motown and Michael's later grooves with Quincy Jones!

Salsoul/Octave (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $22.99
An overlooked gem from the early 80s years at Salsoul – a set that's beat-heavy, and plenty funky too – with a groove that's nicely heavy on both roller skate and electro modes! The record's a bit more offbeat than the usual Salsoul set – and we mean that in a good way – ... read more CD

Chess/Music On Vinyl (UK), 1975. Used ... $6.99
An excellent set of messed-up funky soul from Etta James – one of her killer early 70s sides for Chess!

Queen of Soul is right!

Straight up beautiful stuff! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chess/MCA, 1968. Used ... $8.99
A really unique album from the great Etta Jones – a session recorded down in Muscle Shoals, and not in Chicago – a setting that gives James an extra sort of deep soul power! The backing is nicely different than some of the other Chess material – killer work from the legendary ... read more CD

Think what you might about Rick James, this is actually a pretty darn funky album – with lots of tight bass-heavy grooves!

Man, these guys just keep on getting better – and this time around, Durand Jones & The Indications deliver a record that's way more than just another funk band with a lead singer! Instead, there's a depth and complexity to this set that takes us back to our favorite indie soul albums at ... (Deep Funk, Soul) read more CD
Prestige, 1962. Very Good ... $19.99
Hard to imagine Etta Jones being lonely and blue – especially when she sounds as great as this! The album's one of Jones' early classics from Prestige – a date that really has her classing things up a lot, and drawing on bits of Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington's styles, to mix in ...

RCA/FTG, 1983. Used ... $13.99
Excellent work by Glenn Jones – even if the original record was only a 5 track EP! The set is one of those strange little records issued in the early 80s, when the music industry was trying to figure out a way to make money between the ever-escalating cost of the LP and the less-popular ... read more CD

Motown/Reel Music, 1973. Used ... $12.99

A&M, 1981. Used ... $4.99
Quincy just never stopped putting out classic soulful albums! This one, from the early 80s, features a smooth jazzy blend of tracks, with a strong nod to the kinds of souped-up studio sounds that were being used by groups like The Crusaders, but also with a lot of the kind of soulfulness that made ...
