Columbia, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Killer Latin soul from one of the all-time greats – a collection of greatest hits from Mongo Santamaria, but a set that's every bit as essential as his full length albums for Columbia! Most of the cuts on the album were arranged by Mongo's key right-hand man – the great Marty Sheller, ... (Latin, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A stone 60s smoker from Mongo Santmaria – and a great little set that really lives up to its title! The "soul" reference points to the record's host of 60s soul tunes, which are given a hip Latin spin by Mongo – working here with killer boogaloo arrangements from the great ...

Columbia, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Two tasty late 70s club numbers from Mongo! "Watermelon Man" is done here in a funky club version – a bit disco, but with more than enough Latin touches to keep it sounding great. "Ai Mi No Me" is an excellent cut with a straighter Latin feel – moving along at a ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Red Saunders —
Red The Bebop Guy 1945 to 1951 ... CD Jasmine (UK), Late 40s/Early 50s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Maybe the first-ever collection to bring together the work of the great Red Saunders – a jazz drummer and a seminal figure on the Chicago music scene of the postwar years – a player who not only helped bridge the worlds of jazz and R&B, but who also was the leader of the house band ...

Columbia, 1976. Very Good+ ... $13.99
Blue-eyed soul from Boz Scaggs, with a decidedly Philly influenced sound to the production, which we'd hazard a guess comes more from the Hall & Oates side of town than the Sigma Sound axis. Still, this is a solid album with the irresistible hit "Lowdown", still a favorite around ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

TSG/P-Vine (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $42.99 48.99
The debut album from Cynthia Schloss – a reggae singer who'd go on to bring a whole new level of soul to Jamaican music! In fact, the album's maybe half reggae, and half soul – delivered by Cynthia with a range that would have been right at home in American soul in the early 70s, ...

Emerald/P-Vine (Japan), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
A lost AOR gem from a very unique singer – one with roots in the spiritual scene, but an ability to present crossover lyrics with a great little groove – in a way that makes for plenty of cool, catchy tunes that should have been huge! Instrumentation is lean, and very well-done – ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia/Kent (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
Massive soul from Freddie Scott – exactly the kind of set that has us wondering why he wasn't a bigger star back in the 60s! Freddie's style is very mature – never too polished, yet totally put-together – in a way that rivals other 60s male greats like Jerry Butler and Walter ... read more CD
Maple/Real Gone, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
A hell of a record from the obscure George Scott – a singer who never hit much fame after this, but who really knocks it out of the park with a righteous deep soul style! Backings are more stripped-down than you'd expect from the date – much more like some indie soul set from the late ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Epic/Hidden Beach, 2001. Used 2 CDs ... $3.99
Ok so she's got a Grammy – but that makes us love her even more! Jill Scott is one of the greatest soul artists to emerge in the past decade – and this second album avoids the usual "sophomore slump" by showing a whole new side of her talents!

One of the most obscure albums we've ever seen from Jimmy Scott – and that's saying a lot, given how obscure most of his career was before his relatively recent revival! This session – billed in the notes as his "umpteenth comeback" – was recorded in Chicago in 1975, ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
