Specialty, 1950s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A nice collection of Percy's classic work for Specialty Records from the 50s – issued here in a full LP package from 1970, when Percy was enjoying a bit of a revival. The work's a strong batch of tunes with a sophisticated smooth and bluesy feel – clearly a strong percursor to soul ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A&M, Early 70s. Very Good ... $5.99
A surprisingly nice album for A&M, and one in which Letta's funky African soul style gets a bit more of an LA studio sound.

MCA, 1978. Near Mint- ... $1.99
An excellent album of smooth soul tracks, and maybe Van's best record of the 70s!

Beautiful early work from The McCrarys – billed here in a non-plural form as "The McCrary", in the years before they moved onto secular soul for the bigger labels!

Motown, Late 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
One of Motown's stranger acts during the late 60s, and a classy singer that was perhaps a bit too classy to sound soulful with the Motown style of production. In a way, a record like this appears to be Motown's attempt to cash in on the Nancy Wilson bag. Might work, too, if Barb's voice was a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atlantic, 1950s. Used ... $1.99

Malaco, 1976. Sealed ... $14.99
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.

(Still sealed, lightly shopworn with a small cutout notch.)
Malaco, 1980. Near Mint- ... $4.99
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! Many of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(UK pressing. Cover has a promo stamp.)
Mercury, Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A great early soul set from Melba Moore – recording here as a much more righteous vocalist than on her previous theater performances in Purlie and Hair! The album's got a solid feel all the way through – one that really sets Moore on the right path in this side of her career, in ways ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, a bent corner at the back paste-on, and is lightly bent across the center.)
Buddah, 1976. Very Good ... $5.99
A real stormer from Melba Moore – brilliantly-arranged dancefloor soul with beautiful lead vocals by Melba – on one of her best records of the 70s!

Kent/Dolemite, Early 70s. New Copy ... $5.99 12.98
Rudy Ray Moore flies the friendly skies – and turns out one of his best records of the 70s! The set is easily one of the tightest albums from Rudy's classic years – and uses a fair bit of musical backings beneath his very raunchy comedy – in ways that are sometimes funky, but ... read more CD
Cherry Red, Mid 70s. Very Good ... $9.99
Mid 70s live album by Rudy Ray Moore – and one of the few records of his that we've seen that isn't on Kent. There's a band backing him up, but they're sort of in the background, and you can't hear them that well because Rudy's thundering voice is booming out over tracks like "Hell Of A ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, a small sticker spot and a cutout hole.)
Kent, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Classic stuff – Rudy's first album, and a fitting launch to his famous career of party records and live club performances! The cover's got Rudy in front of a nude black model, laying back on the couch, and encouraging him to do the thing that's implied by the title – but the record ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later green label Comedians Inc pressing.)
Kent/Dolemite, Mid 70s. New Copy ... $5.99 12.98
The title's a reference to a famous antacid commercial in the early 70s – but from the cover, it's obvious that Rudy Ray Moore wants you to think of it in a much nastier way! Given the sounds on the wax, it's easy to do – as the set's one of Moore's best from a time when he was the ... read more CD
Comedian International/Dolemite, Mid 70s. New Copy ... $5.99 12.98
One of the best of the Rudy Ray Moore raunchy party albums from the 70s, and one that must be seen to be believed! The cover has "Rudy" standing nude with "The Madam" – but the man on the front really isn't Rudy, as you can plainly see that his face has been pasted over ... read more CD

Sensuous Black Man ... CD Kent/Dolemite, Early 70s. New Copy ... $5.99 12.98
Rudy Ray Moore cut some mighty raunchy records in his time – but this one may well the be the raunchiest, and maybe the funkiest too! The album's an instruction of "the proper way to make love to a lady" – but done in true Rudy Ray style, with very down-to-earth language that ... read more CD
Kent, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion!

A record's that's billed as "The Singing Album" – and a whole new chapter in the career of Rudy Ray Moore! The set definitely features Rudy on vocals, but the instrumentation's just as important too – some nice funky undercurrents and rootsy soul bits, all arranged and ... read more CD

I'll Do Anything For You (voc, inst) ... 12-inch Becket, 1981. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A classic club cut that's almost in the Frankie Smith or Indeep mode. The cut's got catchy choppy guitar riffing, and begins with some spoken vocals that could almost be rap – but not really. The hook's a winner, though – and the cut is proof that underground soul was still going ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Becket sleeve, with some waviness from moisture.)
Capitol/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1986. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A Capitol classic from Meli'sa Morgan – filled with sweet 80s grooves, and delivered with a style that's nicely lighter than some of her contemporaries!

Nashboro/Third Man, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 19.99
A gem of a gospel set from the legendary Nashboro catalog – crafted by a very hip male sextet from Detroit – one who are clearly open to letting a lot of blues and soul influences into their music! One of the key elements from those styles here is spare but strong use of guitar or ... (Gospel, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Casablanca, 1978. Very Good- (pic cover)... $14.99
A keyboard classic from Moroder, with that dark moody feel that he brought to his best work, one of those tracks that worked equally well on a soundtrack or in the discos! 12-inch, Vinyl record
