(Orange vinyl promo.)
Atlantic, 1966. Very Good+ ... $9.99
The classic Atlantic LP that turned Esther from a rough-hewn, junkie, juvenile R&B singer into a sensitive interpreter of ballads, standards, and pop tracks. Her version of the Beatles title track is amazing, and she sings it with a fragility and sensitivity that Lennon and McCartney could ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & green Rockefeller label pressing.)
Atlantic, 1970. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A key moment in the career of Esther Phillips – and a record that really has her shaking off the rougher bluesy styles of the earlier years, and pointing the way towards strong jazz success in the 70s! The album's definitely burnin, but with a sophisticated vibe too – as Esther works ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & green Rockefeller pressing.)
Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... $5.99
A 70s album, issued at a time when Esther Phillips was really riding high with her records on the Kudo label – but a set that brings together unissued sides recorded for Atlantic in the 60s! The style is a great mix of rootsy soul and hipper jazz – arranged by Onzy Matthews on side one ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s Jazzlore pressing.)
Atlantic, 1966. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Given her start as a rough-hewn child junkie R&B singer, it's hard to believe that Esther's the one singing these beautiful ballads and soul tracks! The album's fantastic, though – and it shows Esther maturing into one of the more fantastic vocalists of her generation. Oliver Nelson, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue & green label pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Kudu, 1975. Very Good+ ... $0.99
Smooth and sophisticated grooving from Esther Phillips – a record that really has her shaking off the rag-tag and rootsy modes of earlier years, and gliding sweetly into the mainstream! Phillips' vocals are still as soulful and compelling as ever, but the backings are quite full – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Kudu/CTI, 1975. Used ... $5.99
One of Esther Phillips' biggest comeback albums from the 70s – a classic set that takes her deeply soulful vocal approach, and sets it to some sweet jazz funk backings – served up by guitarist Joe Beck, who almost gets equal credit on the album cover! The rest of the lineup is equally ... read more CD

All Platinum/Soul Brother (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
An appropriately titled set from Susan Phillips – an overlooked bit of slinky female soul that we'd rank right up there with All-Platinum early 70s releases by Sylvia and Eleanor Mills! The production is a wonderful mix of stripped down grooves with just the right amount of sweet strings and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Trax, 1988. Very Good- ... $14.99

Atlantic, 1966. Very Good ... $6.99
Always exciting work from the Wicked Pickett – a set that's filled with sharp-edged soul tracks throughout – and which perfectly shows why Wilson was a key link between funk and soul back in the 60s! The album was recorded at the two great hubs of southern soul production in the 60s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Late 70s work from Geraldo Pino – the artist who was credited as being one of the first musicians to bring the styles of James Brown to play in West Africa – still grooving hard here at the other end of the decade!

Platinum Hook —
Watching You ... CD RCA/FTG, 1983. Used ... $8.99
Great work from Platinum Hook – a group who got their start in late 70s Motown, but who sound even better on this sweet 80s date for RCA! The album's got a vibe that grabs us right from the start – 80s soul with plenty of boogie at the bottom – fused together in a tight blend of ... read more CD

A jazzy combo with a heart of soul – and a group who may well be one of our favorite funk groups from the 70s! Pleasure has an amazing way of being tight, yet never slick or commercial – a sound that's right on the money, but far from the mainstream too – which has kept them at ... read more CD

Enterprise/Craft, 1971. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
Probably the best-remembered solo album from David Porter – one half of the famous Hayes/Porter team that ruled Stax Records in the 60s, although not as successful as an artist on his own as Isaac Hayes! Porter's style is a lot more adventurous – and this album's a wonderful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lizard, Early 70s. Very Good ... $9.99
Weird bit of rock-oriented soul on the Lizard label – home to some of the trippier acts in the early 70s soul scene. Lowell George plays lead guitar, and Nolan Porter sings in a weird off-kilter style – that's a bit bluesy, and not too far from the "down home" style of early ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has a mostly split top seam and a promo ink stamp on back.)
ABC, 1972. Near Mint- ... $49.99
An obscure one – with some very catchy LA soul grooves, and some strange Carribbean soul elements running through the mix.

Soul Japan (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $24.99

Liston/P-Vine (Japan), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $36.99
A great set of mellow soul from the start of the 80s – not the Positive Force of "We Got The Funk" fame, but a different groove that has a nicely smooth groove! The style here is halfway between soul and AOR, but handled with an indie charm that really keeps things compelling ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Malaco/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $9.99
An overlooked gem from the early 80s Malaco catalog – a set that's got more of a mid 70s funky soul feel overall, with just the right mix of upbeat cuts and ballads! These guys can actually harmonize wonderfully on the mellow numbers – with a compelling approach that's right up there ... read more CD

Motown, 1981. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A nice little follow-up to Billy Preston & Syreeta's work on the Fast Break soundtrack – and a record that's one of the few key sides to carry the older Motown duet soul mode firmly into the 80s! There's a great sense of balance here – one that uses Syreeta's sweeter vocal approach ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A fantastic musical gift from beyond – early 80s recordings by Prince, and the sort of work that might have been a huge revelation if it were issued during his too-short career!

Persona, 1986. Very Good- (pic cover)... $24.99
An early classic from the Chicago scene – spare, moody, and not nearly as house-thumping as you might think. Jamie's vocals are very light and almost muted, and the tune kind of sparkles with a dark European-influenced sound. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light wear and a sticker in one corner.)

Columbia/FTG, 1985. Used ... $9.99
A nearly-lost relic of 80s groove – and a sharp little side project from Rick James! Process and group are clearly going for a sound to rival the Time on this set – working as a well-costumed group ensemble with a bass-heavy funky groove at the bottom of every track – and their ... read more CD

A definite mood setter here – tightly-stepping disco rhythms, with plenty of fast basslines under the strings – all to set up a punchy groove that's topped with plenty of horns!
