P-Vine (Japan), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $42.99 59.99
Keyboardist Bernie Worrell first rose to fame in the P-Funk universe of George Clinton – but as the decades moved on, he also became a very different sort of keyboardist overall – one with a lot more way out sounds than he ever would have contributed to a record by Funkadelic – as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Heavy Japanese pressing – with obi!)
Warner, 1971. Very Good+ ... $24.99
The last album recorded by Charles Wright with the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band – and a set that's even more stretched out and trippy than their other albums! Gone are the tight short cuts of earlier days, and in their place are longer messed-up funky numbers that have more of a jamming ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Cover has yellowing from age, faint ring wear, and light edge wear.)
RCA/Reel Music, 1976. New Copy ... $8.99 15.99
A stunner of a solo set from Edna Wright – once the lead singer for Honey Cone, but almost even better on this smooth soul masterpiece from the 70s! The album's got an immediately recognizeable moment in the leadoff cut "Oops Here I Go" – sampled famously by De La Soul and ... read more CD
Alston/Wagram (France), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
One of the most unique albums to ever come out of the Miami soul scene of the 70s – a sublime set of work that we'd easily rank right up there with the best material of the time from Donny Hathaway or Stevie Wonder! Milton Wright has a really jazzy groove to his music – and he mixes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
OV Wright —
Bottom Line ... LP Hi Records, 1978. Very Good+ ... $19.99
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. Cover has a thin cutout notch, light surface wear. Includes Hi inner sleeve.)
Back Beat/Reel Music, 1973. New Copy ... $8.99 15.98
OV Wright at the top of his game – working here with classic Memphis production from Willie Mitchell, and a sound that should have knocked Al Green right off of the charts! Wright's vocals have a rougher edge than Al's, and the record's really dripping with deep soul feeling – a slow-bu ... read more CD
(Barcode has a cutout hole.)
Back Beat/Reel Music, Late 60s. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
A masterpiece of southern soul – even if the record hides underneath a somewhat unassuming cover!

(Barcode has a small cutout hole.)
Numero, 1977. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Incredibly beautiful work from Willie Wright – an album of folksy soul with a slight island spirit – one that nicely nestles Willie's music in a space somewhere between the best 70s work of Terry Callier and Jon Lucien! The sound is wonderful – lean, stripped-down, and ... read more CD
Richard Popcorn Wylie —
Extrasensory Perception ... CD ABC/Dusty Groove, 1974. Used ... Just Sold Out!
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!

Liberty, 1981. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $6.99
Early 80s slap bass funk – of the sort that was showing up on the Liberty label at the time, and which here comes across pretty well. The best cut is "Love Is On The One", which has a catchy sing-song groove, and a very nice hook. Both tracks from the Point of Pleasure LP. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(A-side label has some marker. Cover has light wear.)
Vanguard/Ace (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $7.99 14.98

Soul Power/West Side (UK), 1973. Used ... $18.99
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

Gordy/Universal (Japan), 1985. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
A lost little gem from the Rick James camp – a bit obscure, despite the fact that Val's a former Bride Of Funkenstein!

Brunswick/Solid (Japan), Late 60s. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
A funky soul instrumental classic – all the way through!

Paula/Liberation Hall, 1973. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
The last-ever album from this legendary duo – and a set that's maybe their funkiest record too!
