So Good ... LP Solar, 1984. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Soaring uptempo soul from The Whispers – still going strong with the Solar sound well into the 80s – and stepping out here in a real hit-making style! The vocals are great, the grooves are solid – and there's a snapping, rhythmic feel to the first side – which is billed as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Epic, Early 70s/1988. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Beautiful west coast vocal group soul by The Whispers! Although the material they had recorded for Solar and Epic around the time this compilation of earlier material was issued had earned them bigger fame, we just love this early stuff – and this album's pulls together many our favorites by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Solar, 1979. Very Good+ ... $6.99
This mighty group does way more here than just Whisper in your ear – as they're completely on top of their game, ending the 70s with a wickedly sharp sound that would help them stand strong for years to come! The group started in fragile harmony soul modes, grew with confidence in the 70s, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Barry White's Greatest Hits ... CD 20th Century, 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Kind of a "greatest hit" of greatest hits compilations – a set that's probably sold more copies than any of Barry White's full length albums – thanks to a monstrous run of hits in the 70s! The package is overflowing with greatness – amazing tunes that balance funky ... read more CD

Man ... LP 20th Century, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
While not as huge a hit as some of his other 70s efforts, this is still a solid LP from White as the 70s were winding down. His signature sweeping soul style is fully in place, and the rich production complements the slower get-your-groove-on ballads nicely. Includes "Your Sweetness Is My ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve and lyric insert. Cover has some pen on front and back and is bent a bit at the corners.)
A&M, 1989. Used ... $4.99
The title's got it right – because the Man is definitely back, although in a completely different way than before! Barry White works here in a setting that's nice and lean – those soul changes that came about during them more electric 80s years, but also given that start-of-90s spin ... read more CD
(Out of print, CRC pressing.)
Unlimited Gold, 1980. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Sheet music – as in the sheets of a bed, get it? Well, if you can't, the cover image has a picture of a bed with sheets that have musical notes on them, just so you get the hint. Despite that cheesy joke, though, the album's a great batch of tracks from Barry – who's grown nicely here ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
CBS, 1981. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A later set from Barry – recorded at the beginning of the 80s with his wife Glodean! The album has Barry and Glodean singing together in a set of smooth modern soul duets – slightly different than his solo work, but with a subdued edge that's still very strongly in the Barry/Love ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve.)
20th Century/Elemental (France), 1974. Used ... $9.99
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
United Artists, 1969. Near Mint- ... $9.99
This record was produced by Henry Jerome and orchestrated and conducted by Joe Renzetti. It features 12 songs and they include "I've Gotta Be Me","To Remind You","This Room", "I'm Never Gonna Be The Same", "Here I Am Again", "Games People ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Back cover has a faded promo stamp.)
Elektra, 1978. Very Good ... $6.99
As the title says, Lenny White's streamlined his sound here – but to us that's a good thing, as it eliminates some of the overly-heavy jam sound that could ruin earlier records – making for a lean, clean groove that's mighty nice, and plenty darn soulful! Plus, Lenny's working here ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
