Cordial (UK), Mid 70s. Near Mint- ... $7.99
The overlooked 70s soul legacy of Ruby & The Mudflaps – a group with a name that might sound like a bar band – but who are a wickedly tight soul group through and through!

Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak) —
Evening With Silk Sonic ... LP Atlantic, 2021. New Copy ... $27.99 28.99
Two contemporary soul giants – coming together in a set that's even better as a whole than their work apart!

Empire, Mid 70s. Used ... $14.99
One of the leading lights of the Munich club scene – the mighty Silver Convention, who topped the charts with a number of disco classics in the mid 70s! Silver Convention took the Philly female style of disco – popularized by First Choice, Three Degrees, and others – and pumped ... read more CD

Midland, 1976. Very Good+ ... $1.99 3.99
A smash hit from Silver Convention – thanks to the dark pop disco hit "Get Up & Boogie", the leadoff tune on this surprisingly strong set!

Salsoul/Big Break (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
This is the kind of Italian disco we can get our ears around!

The tracks have a harder focus on the ... read more CD

Joe Simon —
Love Vibrations ... LP Spring, 1978. Very Good+ ... $3.99
By this point in his career, Joe's a long way from the country soul of "The Chokin' Kind" – and is working here with Norman Harris in a set of strident club-oriented tracks designed to keep him fresh for the 70s. This approach doesn't always work with Joe, largely because of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

CTI, 1978. New Copy ... $4.99 6.99
A real standout 70s set from Nina Simone – a one-off date for CTI Records, done with a sound that's different than her earlier work for RCA, Philips, and Colpix!

Bethlehem, Early 60s. Fair ... $9.99
A classic set of early jazz recordings by Nina Simone – one of her first albums ever, but already with an approach that's quite different from other singers of the time!

(Mono red label pressing with deep groove. NOTE – Vinyl skips during "Mood Indigo" and has an edge chip at the beginning of Side 2 that makes "Good Bait" unplayable from the start; the rest plays with some pops. Cover has light wear and split seams.)

Philips/Universal, 1965. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $36.99 38.99
Wonderful stuff from Nina Simone – working here still with one foot in the jazzier style of early days, but with haunting elements of the later progressive style to come!
