Sussex/Modern Harmonic, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
The second smoking Sussex album from guitarist Eddie Senay – and arguably even better than the first! The tracks here are all instrumentals – played with a style that's tight, right, and very on the money – mixed with keyboards from Rudy Robinson, who also arranged the numbers on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Folkways, 1982. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A really unusual music from the duo of Jaribu and Ngoma Hill – a pair who work together here in a mode that's partly the acoustic blues of the rural scene in the south, but fused with more urban elements too – including a bit of gospel spirit, and folk-inspired righteousness! As you ... (Blues, Soul) read more CD

Wind Hit, Mid 60s. New Copy Gatefold ... $7.99 16.98
Classic styled and classic worthy R&B vocal group soul from The Servicemen – a group based at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix, AZ – a mix of uptempo productions and sweet acapellas cut in '66 & '67! A few numbers have lit up the UK Northern Soul scene in the past decade or so, ... read more CD
(Comes in nice gatefold cardboard sleeve.)
Glades/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $22.99
Back in the mid 70s, The Miami Sound was a great one – a sweet southern Florida mix of New York disco with some warmer funk touches – made very big by the growing soul empire of TK Records, but maybe done best when served up by one of the more obscure groups on the label! That's ... read more CD
7th Wonder —
Thunder ... LP Chocolate City, 1980. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Uptempo modern soul, with a tight ensemble vocal style, and the kind of slick funk group that was showing up in the work of groups on Solar at the time – like Lakeside or Shalamar. The group's got a pretty righteous sound in their best moments, which tend to be the mellower tracks on the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Shades Of Brown —
S.O.B. ... CD Cadet/Dusty Groove, 1970. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Amazing soul from Chess Records – and an album that almost feels like some lost small-label soul set, or a batch of rare funky 45s! Shades Of Brown are an ultra-hip male group from Chicago – a quartet of singers with the range and depth of The Temptations or Dells at their best, ... read more CD

One Way, 1985. Used ... $8.99
A spacious live set from Shakatak – proof that the smoothness of their groove doesn't always live in the studio, but can also hit a concert stage as well! The album features tracks from both the group's vocal and instrumental incarnations – and as such, it's a bit more fusion-heavy ... read more CD
(Out of print US pressing.)
Polydor, 1988. Used ... $7.99
Nothing too manic here, as the grooves are all nicely laidback – in that sweetly smooth Shakatak style! The album's definitely a bit more contemporary-styled than some of the group's earlier ones – rhythms that are mostly programmed, and keyboards that have a later 80s sound – ... read more CD
Pickwick, 1980s. Used ... $4.99
Tracks include "Invitations", "City Rhythm", "Brazilian Dawn", "Rio Nights", "Covina", "Out Of The Blue", and "Fly The Wind". CD
