Motown/Hip-O Select, 1960s. New Copy 4LP (reissue)... $54.99 60.00
A great little set that once again proves that longstanding rule – that with vintage Motown, even the obscure bits are completely top shelf! As you'd guess from the title, this package is overflowing with rare material from Diana Ross & The Supremes – all pulled from that legendary ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(4 X 180 gram vinyl box set!)
Motown, 1968. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Motown's two slickest and most successful groups match up perfectly in this surprisingly nice album from 1968!

Motown, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99
Motown's second pairing of its two biggest groups of the late 60s – a massive 7-voiced meeting in soul music, with results that are surprisingly great!

Chess, 1964. Very Good ... $4.99
One of the greatest female soul moments on Chess Records in the 60s – and that's saying a lot, given that the label also recorded Etta James!

(80s pressing on MCA/Chess. Cover has a cut corner and a stain at the bottom.)
Jackie Ross/Golden Ear, 1981. Very Good+ 2LP ... $34.99
A cool little follow-up to Jackie Ross' other album on Golden Ear – and an unusual set that's split with Little Milton!

Rotary Connection —
Rotary Connection ... LP Cadet, 1967. Very Good ... $9.99
One of the best Rotary Connection albums for Cadet – with an incredible baroque spacey soul sound that still feels very fresh today!

... 12-inch, Vinyl record
GRT, Early 70s. Very Good ... $19.99
Funky funky Hendrix! The record's a surprisingly enjoyable batch of covers – all Jimi Hendrix tunes (save one), played by a funky combo with a very raw guitar in the front! There's plenty of pyrotechnics on the guitar, and the record has lots of solos, but there's also some good funky flute ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover & label have a drillhole.)
Kapp, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Fantastic harmony soul – in a class by itself! Ruby's lovely voice is right out front in the mix, and she's backed up by the all-male Romantics with a sweet soaring tone that blows away other male/female combos like Gladys Knight & The Pips or The Sensations. This greatest hits includes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MCA pressing.)

Heavenly heavenly soul from one of the best voices in the Motown stable – the mighty David Ruffin, heard here at the height of his early solo powers!

Motown, 1975. Very Good ... $5.99
David Ruffin at the height of his solo powers – working in that mature mix of soul and strings that made him one of the more sophisticated Motown talents of the time!
