Motown, 1979. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Billy Preston & Syreeta handled the music for this slightly-lame, kind of strange Gabe Kaplan vehicle from the late 70s. The music is relatively fine, although the album lacks any totally funky moments. Instrumentals include "Books & Basketball", "Half Time", "The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

ABC, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Lloyd Price turns his incredible voice to a batch of late 50s/early 60s pop hits – including a range of songs taken from other soul stars, made up by Lloyd into his own uniquely styled numbers – with that romping groove he does so well! Arrangements are by Gil Askey and played by Lloyd' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A strong effort from the mid 00s revitalized Prince – one that doesn't approach the greatness of the best material, but a graceful and consistent gem nonetheless! As it was done on his big ol' comeback album, Musicology, Prince takes strides to revisit his classic styles on the different ... read more CD

Prince certainly hit and run with this record – as the set was so secret, we couldn't even announce it until it was released! But the lack of advance fame certainly doesn't hold it back – as the whole thing is one of Prince's strongest efforts in years – a record that echoes lots ... read more CD

I Would Die 4 U/Warner (UK), 1984. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $14.99
One of our favorite tracks ever from Prince – an instantly funky, instantly catchy tune that never fails to blow us away with its dexterity! The jam sounds great, even after all these years – and it's backed by a non-LP cut, "Another Lonely Christmas" – in which Prince ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(German pressing. Cover has a cutout notch, some wear, and light aging.)
Paisley Park, 1987. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $13.99
A fantastic setting for "If I Was Your Girlfriend" – a wonderfully nasty slow funk number from Prince – backed here by the even-better "Shockadelica" – a fuzzy, raspy number that wasn't issued on any full length album at the time! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has some ring and edge wear.)
Warner, 1983. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $13.99
Prince serves up one of his slinkiest funky cuts of the early 80s – backed with the non-LP b-side "Irresistible Bitch" – which is maybe even better! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Raspberry Beret (new mix)/Paisley Park, 1985. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $14.99
A sweet sweet classic from Prince – a tune that was hailed as a move to psychedelic modes at the time, but which was really just a way for the singer to open up a whole new side of his talents!

Capitol, Mid 70s. New Copy ... $6.99 14.99
An essential collection of work from the legendary Minnie Riperton – a set that was crucial to so many listeners, as during the early years of the CD era, it was the only way you could find any of her music in print!

Her Chess Years – Featuring The Gems & Rotary Connection – 50th Anniversary Collection ... CD MCA/Chess, Late 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Great early work by Minnie Riperton – featuring tracks that she recorded as a female soul singer, plus later work recorded with the groundbreaking group Rotary Connection! The set's got some of Minnie's earliest singles for the Chess label – including "All Of It", "Lonel ... read more CD

Salsoul/Big Break (UK), 1977. Used ... $12.99
A really rich second album from Ripple – a group who took awhile to return to the studio, but really developed a lot in the process! The combo started out as a straight funk act – but here, they really take off with a tight approach to their instrumentation – razor-sharp work on ... read more CD
RCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
The Ritchie Family do their best to remain relevant after the glory days of commercial disco – and succeed strongly on I'll Do My Best – thanks to the sweetly soulful trio vocals and a nicely updated dancefloor soul sound! The songs are great, and groove on just long enough – ... read more CD
GRP, 1982/1983. Used ... $4.99
On The Line has a style that's a bit keyboard-heavy – in a way that seems to borrow from some of the 80s soundtrack work of the time, and which is clearly a nod to the success of the Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny sound that was breaking big on ECM. The move is a nice one for Lee on the best cuts ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD

Liberty/EMI, Early 60s. Used ... $16.99
Killer work by The Rivingtons – material recorded in the early 60s, but with all the rough, raw, and pyrotechnic edges of some of the best 50s doo wop! The group are probably best remembered for their title hit, but the whole CD is tremendous – a real treasure trove of under-discovered ... read more CD

Light In The Attic, 1975. New Copy ... $6.99 8.99
A five-track EP, but a set that also packs the power of most full albums of soul we've heard from the 70s – thanks to a deep level of quality throughout! The material was originally recorded for RCA in 1975, at a time when Robbie Hill's Family Affair were the backing group for The Main ... read more CD
Tamla, 1984. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Smokey's a little bit off course here – heading into a range of mellow pop soul styles that are clearly inspired by artists who were inspired by Smokey's own majestic solo turn in the 70s – but who never manage to match his quality. And since Smokey's taking inspiration from the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch and a bent corner.)
Motown, 1974. Sealed ... $6.99
Excellent mid 70s work from Smokey, recorded right before his landmark Quiet Storm album, and in a smooth sophisticated style that showed that he was definitely on the right track after splitting from the Miracles! The sound here is totally great – a new level of sophistication for Robinson, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has some general wear.)
Tamla, 1982. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A slightly more-grooving record than some of Smokey's others from the time – done in a style that rolls around in a mostly-midtempo mode. There's almost a gentle 80s groove approach at times, although some of the tunes on the set are definitely in that stone mellow love song style that was ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Like the sticker on the cover says – 2 record album, 22 hit songs!
