Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
One of the greatest records ever made by singer Madeline Bell – even though it was never issued to the public at the time!

Outside Man (aka Love Ain't Nothin But A Business Goin On) ... LP Capitol, 1971. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the funkiest albums ever from Junior Parker – a great little set that shows he had a lot more to offer than just the average bluesman! The album's got a nice little soul sound in the backings – tight rhythms from Horace Ott, who nicely avoids a lot of the cliches that the blues ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Minit, 1969. Near Mint- ... $34.99
A tasty album of hard bluesy tracks from Little Jr Parker – set to arrangements by Horace Ott, and very much in an older mode than the vintage of the album would imply.

One of the funkier albums that Maceo Parker's cut in recent years – a set that's still done with his frequent partners the WDR Big Band, but handled with a much stronger emphasis on the soul roots promised in the title!

Solid funky work from Ray Parker Jr & Raydio – a set that's lean and focused, and still very much in the earlier Raydio groove!

Ray Parker Jr & Raydio —
Woman Needs Love ... LP Arista, 1981. Very Good+ ... $3.99
The start of Ray Parker's big hit run of the 80s – a set that has the Raydio group stripped down to just a duo behind Ray, and Parker very firmly out in the lead on vocals! The title hit's a smooth standard that's kept on going for many years – just the kind of cut that crossed Ray ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
An overlooked groover by this 60s rock act – recorded in Memphis by Chips Moman, with a hard sock-soul approach that's almost a blue eyed soul take on the sound of Stax!

LPG/P-Vine (Japan), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $42.99 48.99
A killer of an album – a real corker from Lloyd, one of those singers who kept on growing tremendously after his early big hits! The album was recorded in Muscle Shoals, but it's got a smooth modern sort of finish – all compressed and slightly funky, in a manner that's partially ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1982. Near Mint- 2LP ... $54.99
The record that forever put Prince on the map – a legendary set that took him from being an under-appreciated soul singer to a lasting pop music legend! Prince had been around for a few years before 1999 – but the double-length set was the first to really win over the masses to his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeves. Cover has light wear.)
Paisley Park, 1985. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $29.99
A mad bit of psychedelic soul from Prince – a record that sounds better and better over the years, and which stands out from most of his 80s work thanks to some really unique production and songwriting! After Purple Rain, Prince did anything but freeze up in the face of living up to such a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Fold-over portion is intact. Cover has light wear.)
Warner, 1987. Used ... $44.99
Recorded in 1987, but never officially released until 1994, when Prince was trying to get out of his Warners contract. Prince's attempt to return to his more funky side after flirting with more straight pop songs was a Holy Grail amongst collectors for a time, and though we don't like it as much ... read more CD
(Out of print, official 1994 Warner pressing – in great shape!)
Warner, 1994. Used ... $9.99
The last album before his Princeness became know as the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. Much better than you might expect from an album that appeared, at least at the time, to have been pulled mostly from his huge archive of tapes, with a sound that seems to date it from the surrounding New Power ... read more CD
Warner/Legacy, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99
A key moment of transition for Prince – a set that's got him toning down the longer-haired look of previous records, and going for the new wave sense of style that would help him cross into many audiences in years to come! Controversy still has Prince singing to the already-converted, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner/Legacy, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 23.99
Early work from Prince – really his first full fledged masterpiece! Prince ushered the 80s in with a mix of recognizable influences, but filtered through his unique sensibility – taking a new approach to funky soul – by using his own sinister blend of layered vocals, crisp ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1995. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $30.99 32.99
A great return to form for Prince – even though at the time, we all had to refer to him with an unpronounceable symbol! There's a lean, funky vibe to most of the record – almost a step back to the unified group approach of his mid 80s classics – and even though a few sonic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Great reissue – replicates the original gold vinyl, stickered sleeve limited release of the original!)
