MCA/Universal (Japan), 1988. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
The Mac Band get their name from Charles and Derrick McCampbell – who duet on lead vocals on the set – but they also draw plenty of their sound from the team of LA and Babyface, who handle the leadoff tracks on the set – while also getting plenty of production help from David and ... read more CD
Marlin, 1978. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $5.99
One of percussionist Ralph MacDonald's best albums of the late 70s – and one of the few on his own, given how many other records he played on!

Southbound (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99
A rare gem from Maceo Parker – the second album cut with his King's Men group in the short time he was away from James Brown in the early 70s!

Collectables/Volt, 1966. Used ... $6.99 9.99
Some rare early Memphis soul material by this legendary Stax combo! The sound of the recording is a bit rawer than most of the stuff we know by them, but their harmonies are great all the way through, with that hard Memphis soul sound that always made them so great!

Guinness/Soul Brother (UK), 1977. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
A rare funky gem from Madcliff – an early project from Chris Hills, who'd soon go onto greater fame in Players Association!

Columbia, 1972. Near Mint- ... $7.99

Columbia/Mobile Fidelity, 1972. Used ... $19.99
Hardly any "recycling" going on here – as Taj Mahal takes bluesy roots and turns them in a whole new direction for the 70s, evolving the music way past the level most other bluesmen were working in at the time! At some level, Mahal's style is far more rootsy than most early 70s ... (Blues, Soul) read more CD

RCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
A killer set from a group that never lets us down – stepping out here in a sound that's more modern, more mature than their hit work of the 70s – yet still filled with all the sublime harmony soul we'd expect from the trio of Tony Silvester, Cuba Gooding, and Luther Simmons! Wade ... read more CD
Reprise/Strut (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $12.99 13.99
One of Miriam Makeba's hippest albums of all time – a set that marked the end of her association with Reprise Records, and her fame in the crossover American scene of the 60s – and for good reason, too – as the whole thing's brimming over with much more righteous energy than ever ...

RCA, 1963. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of Miriam Makeba's first albums released in the US.

AJP/BGP (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99

Classic late 70's Chi soul group, with some very early work by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, and vocal and tenor work by Reggie Griffin.

Manhattans —
Greatest Hits ... LP Columbia, 1980. Near Mint- ... $7.99
The Manhattans were one of those groups who knocked around for years in the indie soul world – cutting some fantastic material early on, but then losing direction for a number of years until they sprung forth as a huge act for Columbia during the early 70s. By that time, the band had more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1979. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Late 70s – but The Manhattans are still sounding great!

Heavy funk from Teena Marie – a self-produced killer for mid 80s Epic Records – done with some even bolder grooves than before, in ways that definitely show the hallmarks of the Prince generation! The 80s was a hell of a good time to be a female funk artist on her own – and Teena ... read more CD
