Fantasy/BGP (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99
A wonderful album from Pleasure – a group who were already great before, but who really seem to hit a great new level with this late 70s classic!

Fantasy/BGP (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99
Wonderfully tight work from Pleasure – a record that definitely lives up to the lean, clean image on the cover – as it's got the group honing their funky skills even more strongly than before! Wayne Henderson's at the helm, finding the group hit this razor-sharp groove that comes ... read more CD
RCA, 1982. Very Good ... $6.99
Great later work from Pleasure – a group who are probably best-known for their classic 70s albums on Fantasy Records, but one who kept the groove riding high in some early 80s years at RCA! This set's a shimmering jewel – a great mix of funky rhythms and mellower moments, all wrapped ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

As you probably know, Kalimba's the production arm of the Earth Wind & ... read more CD
Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
A killer blend of soul and funk from Pockets – a group with a very jazzy pedigree in their roots, but who stretch forth here with some great studio help from the Kalimba Productions team of the Earth Wind & Fire empire! The groove is very much in the best 70s EWF mode – tight, but ... read more CD
Pointer Sisters —
Break Out ... LP Planet, 1983. Very Good+ ... $13.99
The album's no breakout for the Pointer Sisters, as the trio were already at the top of the charts when the set was released – but the whole thing does find a great way to keep the grooves coming in the group's lasting relationship with producer Richard Perry!

RCA, 1985. Sealed ... $4.99
The Pointer Sisters in their slick, sultry pop soul mode of the mid 80s – at this point doing the synthesizer soul sound as well as ever – with big hooks and more subtle stylistic flourishes in the production!

Horoscope/Numero, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 23.99
A real classic from the glory days of the kid soul group – a set recorded by an obscure Ohio group during the same generation as work by The Jackson 5, Sylvers, and Five Stairsteps – but a much more obscure record overall!

Mad About Records (Portugal), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 39.99
There's a tape box on the cover, and that's a clue to how rare this album is – an obscure funky soul set from early 80s Miami, but one that's very worth discovery after all these lost years! The group have a sound that's nice and lean – more like an uptempo funk group from the mid 70s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vistone/P-Vine (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... $24.99
A crazy bit of funk from drummer Roy Porter – a player who first rose to fame during the LA bop years of the late 40s, but who sounds even hipper here in the 70s!

Billy Preston —
Billy Preston ... LP A&M, 1976. Sealed ... $9.99
Billy Preston looks like some sort of hokey ringmaster on the cover of this one, but he sounds much hipper than you might guess from that image – moving away from his standard hit mode of the early 70s, and working through a range of more subtle and soulful modes!
