Solar/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $22.99
Love for Love, but still a pretty groove-heavy set too – one that continues the mix of "dancin and romancin" The Whispers served up on their previous album! Side one is heavy on "dancin" – and features some bass-heavy tunes that are very much in the best mainstream ... read more CD

Philadelphia International/Expansion (UK), 1974/1975. Near Mint- ... $9.99
2 rare groovers from Philly International – and proof once again that the label had a huge amount to offer way past its hits! "Hey Baby" is a great soulful uptempo number by Anthony White, with that smooth early modern sound that you'd get in the best work by Teddy Pendergrass with ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Mercury, 1979. Used ... $14.99
One of the last truly great albums that Barry White ever cut – with his solid sexy soul sound firmly in place, and a solid groove running through most of the tracks on the album. Barry's voice is still in fantastic shape, too – and it's a real treat to hear him open up on some of the ... read more CD

A&M/Universal (Japan), 1991. Used ... $5.99
A nice little record that some folks slept on over the years – a bit of a comeback album for Barry White – an overlooked early 90s session that updates his sound a bit, yet which still continues the charm of his classic years! There's a bit of a new jack groove going on in a few of the ... read more CD

Barry White & Love Unlimited Orchestra —
Together Brothers – Original Soundtrack ... CD 20th Century/Elemental (France), 1974. New Copy ... $12.99
A stunner of a soundtrack from the maestro Barry White – his only entry into the blacksploitation film genre of the 70s, and a complete doozy throughout! For the album, Barry's stripped down the bigger space of his own records, and his Love Unlimited productions – into some shorter ... read more CD

Nemperor/Wounded Bird, 1977. New Copy ... $10.99 11.98
A great little album by Lenny White – nicely restrained in the best moments, with less of the heavy-hitting fusion sound that you'd hear on his other albums – and even done with a strong current of funk, which really sends the whole thing home in a great way! Space jazz maestro Pat ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD

Monument, 1969. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Damn soulful work from Tony Joe White – exactly the kind of set that shows why he was so great at skirting both the borders of rock and soul music at the end of the 60s! There's a really fresh, new groove going on here – a vibe that shows an artist who's spent a decade drawing in all ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Curtom, 1974. Sealed ... $5.99
A very strange release on Curtom – and we're not sure if we should call it a rock album or a soul album! Bobby Whiteside produced and arranged, and he's got sort of a 70's AM radio sound, with lots of pop harmonies, and catchy overproduced hooks. Titles include "Pen Of A Poet", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
