Panton/GAD (Poland), 1983. New Copy ... $12.99
Cool electro pop from Czechoslovakia – material recorded by a group who'd done some disco tunes in the 70s, but who here work more in an 80s electronic style! The tunes are often all electric, with rhythms from drum machines, and a wide variety of spacey keys – and the group mix ... (Rock, Soul) read more CD

Birthright/High Jazz (Switzerland), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 27.98
Stunning sounds from Michael Orr – a singer you might know from his secular work in the duo of Harris & Orr – and who still sounds incredible here in a more spiritual-styled set from the start of the 80s! As with Michael's earlier music, there's a cool, cosmic vibe going on in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A&M, 1983. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A pivotal album for Jeffrey Osborne – and a record that showed the world that he could stand proudly on his own away from his old group LTD! The album was actually his second solo outing, but the first to really gel together in that hit-making blend of ballads and catchy mid-tempo pop tunes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
This UK Afro Funk group is slicking things up a bit for this 1973 album – but not in a bad way, because it actually kicks up the groove considerably. In fact, it almost sounds like they've been listening to a bit of War – because the the best tracks on the album have lots of that funky ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Epic, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
The second album from Shuggie Otis – a wild and wooly batch of grooves that really stretches out the sound from the first!

Epic/Luaka Bop, 1974. Used ... $5.99
An insanely wonderful album! Shuggie Otis is the son of Johnny Otis – the LA R&B maestro who was moving heavily into funk at the end of the 60s – and he has this tripped out, super-dope guitar style that he played to strong effect on Johnny's albums of the late 60s and early 70s, ... read more CD
