Alston/P-Vine (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $20.99
One of the most unique soul records you'll ever own – a tremendous little set from the mighty Milton Wright! Milton's probably best known for his first album, Friends & Buddies, but this set is arguably even greater – an even more personal, unusual session that blends wonderfully ... read more CD
Hi Records, 1978. Very Good- ... $14.99
Great work from OV Wright – one of the few singers who was still strongly carrying the Hi Records torch at the end of the 70s! Although Wright had sometimes been bluesier in the past, his late 70s Hi sides have a much mellower, mature sort of feel – a ripening of the seeds in his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Vinyl plays with some light crackles and occasional pop. Cover still looks nice, with just a bit of edge wear.)
Back Beat/Real Gone, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
A masterpiece of southern soul – even if the record hides underneath a somewhat unassuming cover! The set was originally done for the Back Beat side of the Duke/Peacock label from Houston – but was recorded in Memphis with some great early work from Willie Mitchell, all in a lean mode ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Raenii/P-Vine (Japan), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $36.99
A wonderful bit of lost spiritual soul jazz from Chicago – recorded in the early 80s, but with a progressive and righteous feel that's very much in the 70s Strata East vein! The group's led by Billy Mahdi on tenor, soprano, and flute – and features Corky McClerkin on piano, Eldee Young ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Wright —
I'm On My Way ... LP Argo, 1963. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Soulful Chicago folk stuff by Willie Wright, a black performer from the city who recorded for Chess, and who's a key link in the tradition that spawned Terry Callier. (In fact, a number of the tracks on Terry's First Light CD are from a 1970 benefit for Willie Wright!) Willie sings in a deep ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has a small peeled spot on one corner, aging on the back, a cutout hole, and light wear.)
ABC/Dusty Groove, 1974. Used ... $7.99
Majestic music from the mighty Popcorn Wylie – the Detroit soul legend best known for his work in the 60s, but an artist who really shines on this rare 70s set for ABC! The album was done during the same stretch as Lamont Dozier's ABC work – and like those records, this set features ... read more CD

Camille Yarbrough —
Iron Pot Cooker ... CD Vanguard/Ace (UK), 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of THE spoken word classics of the 70s funk years – an amazing album based around the poetry of Camille Yarbrough – set to some amazing funky backings! The sound here is incredibly righteous – almost a more sophisticated version of Betty Davis – done with a stark, spare ... read more CD
All Platinum/Expansion (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
A fantastic sweet soul album – and one of our favorite records ever from the New Jersey soul empire of All-Platinum Records!

Soul Power/P-Vine (Japan), Early 70s. New Copy ... $22.99
Excellent work from this oft-overlooked southern soul singer – the beautiful Tommie Young! Tommie's a lady (in case you didn't know it), and she's got deep deep style that'll knock you flat out – with a soaring female southern soul sound on many of the tracks here – including a ... read more CD
Brunswick/Demon (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99
The only full length album we've ever seen from this youthful combo – and a killer set that's gotten plenty of play over the years!

Atlantic, 1967. Very Good ... $4.99
Possibly the biggest album ever by The Rascals – a wonderfully tight batch of tunes that has the group hitting perfectly on all their best fronts!

Brunswick/Demon (UK), Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
The beat goes on, and just keeps getting better and better too – thanks to the growing sophistication of the Young/Holt duo, once they broke away from Ramsey Lewis! The bass and drums share equal space in the spotlight – and the production has the former really up high in the mix, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jazz Is Dead, 2020. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
An album with Roy Ayers in the title – but which also features the man himself in the music – really sounding wonderful here, and recreating some of the best sounds of his classic work from the 70s! For some reason, Adrian Younge always likes to put his name in the lead, even when ... (Deep Funk, Soul) read more CD
20th Century, 1974. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Standout work from The Younghearts – one of the best harmony soul groups of the 70s to record away from the east coast.
