Stang, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
Quite possibly The Moments' last good album, and a record that has them mixing a bit of funkiness into their usual style of sweet group soul.

Malaco, 1976. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A pivotal moment in the development of southern soul – as the album was one of the first really big hits to come out of the growing Malaco scene in Jackson, Mississippi.

Malaco, 1980. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A wonderful record from Dorothy Moore – done at a time when the singer was not only one of the leading lights of the southern soul scene, but also maybe the heir apparent to styles that had previously been handled by giants like Aretha Franklin, Ann Peebles, or Shirley Brown!

This P*ssy Belongs To Me – The Second Rudy Ray Moore Album ... LP Kent, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion!

Mother's Finest (Epic) ... LP Epic, 1976. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
One of the hardest, heaviest soul groups of the 70s – so much so that their music often has a fair bit of rockish touches too – especially in the guitars, which are nice and fuzzy!

A novelty group if there ever was one, but they still had their day with the big hit "Pass the Dutchie", not that any of them were even old enough to know what they were singing about, or should have been.

New Birth —
Best Of The New Birth ... LP RCA, 1975. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Nice collection of some of the earlier raw funk cut by this huge collective for RCA.

The rare first album by The Next Movement!
