T Neck, 1972. Very Good ... $14.99
An amazing record! This one's probably our favorite Isley Brothers album of all time – and it's a perfect blend of all the styles they were into at the time – heavy funk, sweet soul, folksy rock, and rolling uptempo grooves! The Brothers handle all styles equally well, and the album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

T Neck/Acadia (UK), 1971/1972. Used ... $11.99
Two early 70s gems from the Isley Brothers – both records that really show them opening up their style! Givin It Back is a very weird, but very beautiful album by the Isleys – one in which they move into a folksy rock groove, and play acoustic guitars in long spiralling soulful ... read more CD

Go All The Way ... LP T Neck, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $4.99
It's the end of the 70s, and the Isleys are still going strong – keeping it real by dropping some of the fake funk of a few years before, and going for a smooth soul sound that would be one of their biggest strengths during the early 80s. This sound can be heard to perfection on the tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
T Neck/Columbia, 1977. New Copy ... $5.99 6.99
A funky album – but one that we love best for the mellow tracks!

Great work from The Isley Brothers – proof that they were still growing strongly as a group into the 80s!

Tracks have a tight modern soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A great mix of heavy funk and sweeter ballads from the Isley Brothers – and a record that's filled with two-part tracks that really let them stretch out and groove!

T Neck, 1981. Very Good ... $1.99
A strong extension of the Isley Brothers' funky 70s style – moving into a more compressed mode that had been taking hold of the group's style over the past few albums – giving them a smoother finish in the end, but one that actually brings out a deeper level of soul in the music!

Sunset, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
An obscure collection of early work by the Isleys – mostly original tracks, plus a few other R&B standards with a very raw sound. The work's a lot rougher than the group's smooth soul hits of the 70s – and titles include "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go", "She's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Early early work by The Isley Brothers – recorded for United Artists in the early and mid 60s, in the years between their hit work for RCA and Motown.

Authentic 80s grooving from the Isleys – mostly an album of upbeat, electro-grooving numbers that change up the style a bit more from their 70s funk work!

One of the few LPs that the Isleys recorded during their short stay at Motown, and a nice batch of mid-60s soul tracks that makes good use of the boys' fantastic voices.

Scepter, Late 60s. Very Good ... $0.99
Although this album was clearly put out in the late 60s, it appears to have a bunch of early tracks by the Isleys, dressed up as newer ones, to cash in on their later hits. Still, the record's a great way to see how raw the group were when they started – as you probably might guess from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Winner Takes All ... LP T Neck, 1979. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $4.99
A key album in the Isley Brothers "extended funk" mode of the 70s – a style in which the group approached nearly every tune by adding in a "part 2" in order to stretch out the groove!

Chess/Music On Vinyl (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
An excellent set of messed-up funky soul from Etta James – one of her killer early 70s sides for Chess! The album mixes together bluesy tracks and straight ahead soul – in a hip, bad-walking style that nicely updates Etta's older style for the 70s. The set includes a great funky cut ... read more CD

Beautiful Etta James album with heartbreaking vocals over icy Riley Hampton arrangements, and a classic bit of early Chicago soul. Tracks include "Don't Cry Baby", "Fool That I Am", and "I'll Dry My Tears". Sweet and mellow, and proof for anyone that the move to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy James & The Vagabonds —
I'll Go Where Your Music Takes Me ... LP Pye, 1976. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Strong mid 70s work from Jimmy – bouncing back with a tight little groover, the title cut of this one, which has a soaring soulful approach that's right up there with the best of mid 70s New York. Production is by Biddu – with a disco groove that's plenty pronounced – but Jimmy's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rick James —
Bustin Out Of L Seven ... LP Gordy, 1979. Very Good ... $4.99
Think what you might about Rick James, this is actually a pretty darn funky album – with lots of tight bass-heavy grooves! Rick's working here with the Stone City Band, in a style that's leaner and less commercial than some of his later work – going for a mainstream funk approach, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ring & edge wear.)
Gordy, 1978. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Rick James' first LP for Motown subsidiary Gordy, that was to provide the blueprint for his later success. James' trademark pop bass funk style is fully formed on this one already, and though we may once have thought little of the slick production and style, looking back this stuff has a good bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch.)
Gordy, 1979. Very Good ... $4.99
Rick James fires it up at the end of the 70s – stepping out at full star power that has him rivaling the strength of Bootsy Collins at Warner, and paving the way for the rise of Prince in the early 80s! As with Prince, James' version of funk here is a bit offbeat – lots of riffing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch & a name in pen.)
Gordy, 1985. Near Mint- ... $5.99
Rick James hits a smoother sort of style here – one that's almost a compressed take on the mainstream version of funk first crafted on his earlier records, fused into a more radio-friendly approach for the Prince generation! The sound's actually not that bad – and the record has an ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes printed inner sleeve.)
Gordy, 1985. Very Good+ ... $4.99
The title track to Rick's Glow album – and a snapping 80s groover that has a surprisingly catchy hook! The sound isn't really classic Rick James funk, but it's a nice mainstream soul number! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Motown sleeve.)
Motown, 1984. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Kind of a "best of plus" set from Rick James – featuring some of his older work for Motown, plus a few new numbers to round out the set! As usual, the whole thing's written, arranged, and produced by the Super Freak himself – with that bass-heavy pop-funk groove that Rick ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)

Warner, 1984. Near Mint- ... $1.99
Al Jarreau hits the stage in the UK – clearly working before a large crowd that's very appreciative of his superstar talents in the early 80s! The sound here is a bit less intimate than some of Jarreau's earlier studio records – instrumentation that's designed more to fit the larger ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Warner, 1981. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Sublime sounds from Al Jarreau – exactly the kind of record that made him a unique superstar at the time of its release, and which still continues to fly Al's flag strongly all these many years later! Jarreau's got that perfect blend between jazz roots and soulful expression here – set ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
