Capitol, 1974. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Hip stuff by Nancy – and a sophisticated album of soul tracks arranged and produced by Gene Page, in a string-heavy, slightly-funky style that reminds us of Gene's work with Barry White at the time.

X 8 Multiplies ... LP A&M, 1979. Very Good+ ... $11.99
The second album from Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, not as much of an electro groove filled affair as the first, but still a great batch of quirky techno-electro Asian pop with lots of great bubbling synth touches! 8 tracks in all including "Behind The Mask", ...

Young & Restless (with bonus tracks) ... CD All Platinum/Expansion (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $14.99
A fantastic sweet soul album – and one of our favorite records ever from the New Jersey soul empire of All-Platinum Records! The set's got a spacey soul sound that's really wonderful – quite different than some of the clubbier modes that other female singers were using at the time ... read more CD
Brunswick, Late 60s. Very Good- ... $6.99
Funky but also loosely jazzy and soulful grooves from Young Holt Unlimited! This is easily the most obscure album by the Young Holt combo for Brunswick – and a really wicked set that has them stretching out a lot from their early years!

Cotillion, 1970. Very Good ... $14.99
One of their wildest and most beautiful LPs! By this point, Young & Holt getting past their usual funky Brunswick sound here, and they've opened up the groove a lot with lots of nice extra bits. The best proof of this is their fantastic take on "Midnight Cowboy", which has an insane ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Soulful Strut ... LP Brunswick, Late 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
A funky soul instrumental classic – all the way through! The team of Eldee Young and Redd Holt first came to prominence with Ramsey Lewis' first Chicago trio, then branched out on their own as a jazz act – but by the time of this set, they'd picked up a hipper, funkier late 60s sort of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Paula, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Fantastic! Young and Holt lay down a monster set of grooves from Curtis Mayfield's Superfly soundtrack (all the good ones – like "Freddie's Dead", "Give Me Your Love", "Pusher Man", and "Superfly"), and they also get into some funky tracks of their own ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Something About April – Instrumentals ... LP Wax Poetics, 2011. Very Good ... $29.99
All the sweet sounds that make the Something About April album so great – served up here without any vocals at all! The core album feels like some ultra-cool, super-dope soul record from the 70s – and without any lyrics, these tunes almost take on more of a soundtrack feel – but ...

Private Stock, 1978. Near Mint- ... $2.99
A crossover classic from the Michael Zager Band – a record that played big in the clubs at the end of the 70s, and got plenty of spins on the homefront too!

Warner, 1982. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $19.99
Fat vocoder funk from Zapp – from the years before Roger's bass heavy post P-funk grooves represented more of a midwestern sound than the west coast G-funk that would co-opt it. 12-inch, Vinyl record

The classic first album by this legendary funky combo – a group who not only went onto change the sound of funk in the 80s, but also went onto have a huge impact on generations of hip hop as well!

Sussex, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
Zulema's first album – and one that's got a much deeper soul feel than any of her later work for RCA. Zulema wrote a lot of the tracks, plays piano, and sings in a very righteous soul voice that's equal parts gospel and equal parts 70s soul – much more stripped down than on later sides ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
