Free At Last ... LP King, 1950s/Early 60s. Very Good ... $6.99
A pretty great collection of Little Willie John's classic work for King – issued in the 60s, after Willie got out of prison, with a title and an image of a jail cell that will never let him forget his debt to society! Fortunately, the music washes away all memories of that trouble, and the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ace (UK), Early 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A hell of a pianist who really knows how to set his instrument on fire – the great Little Willie Littlefield, heard here in a wealth of recordings for the Modern Records label – a good deal of which were never issued at the time! Littlefield has that great Modern blend of deeper blues ... read more CD

A club classic on Salsoul – with a soaring sound that's still grooving dancefloors today!

Columbia, 1973. Very Good Gatefold ... $1.99
A great mix of sophisticated pop and lighter, more tropical numbers – and one of the best albums ever to emerge from the union of Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina!

Loose Ends —
Zagora ... LP MCA, 1986. Very Good+ ... $3.99
In the years before Soul II Soul, Loose Ends were about the closest you could get to real soul from the UK – and this album was one of the group's biggest in the US.

Lost Generation —
Young, Tough & Terrible (with bonus tracks) ... CD Brunswick/Solid (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
They're young and tough – and especially wonderful too – easily one of the most compelling harmony soul groups to ever hail from the Windy City! The set's a Chicago soul gem from the early 70s – recorded with a laidback, slightly tripped-out vibe that's different than the tighter ... read more CD

Casablanca, 1977. Very Good ... $4.99
One of many projects headed up by Alec Costandinos – a briefly successful producer/arranger during the late 70s, with a real penchant for overly complicated disco!

(Cover has light wear.)
Gold Mind, 1977. Very Good- ... $1.99
"Cheaters" is a fantastic club track – with great east coast Baker-Harris-Young production, great harmonies, and a groove that's half harmony soul and half disco! This 12" single features extended disco mixes of both tracks, too! 12-inch, Vinyl record

Warner, 1979. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Nice disco stuff from Alan Hawkshaw! Hawkshaw arranged and produced the whole record – and it's got lots of sexy keyboard and production work.
