Jasmine (UK), Mid 50s. New Copy ... $15.99 16.99
Really fantastic work from Willie Egan – a west coast singer from the glory days of R&B on that side of the country, and one you might know best from his work in the duo of Marvin & Johnny! And yes, that's a pretty obscure duo, but an important one in the pre-soul years – ... read more CD

Easy Access (parts 1 & 2) ... 12-inch Misty/Soul Fire, 2002. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
The first 12" single on Soul Fire – and a real doozy! The track's an extended jazz funk number with some great guitar on the intro, and an expanded horn section that's so big, so mighty, it needed a full 12 inches of wax just to hold it. Horn work is incredible – on a par with ... (Deep Funk, Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
EMI/Hot Shot (UK), 1984. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
Kind of a silly name for a group – but the record's pretty nice! Elbow Bones & The Racketeers were one of the many retro-soul groups working under the guidance of producer August Darnell – aka Kid Creole – who gave the group a style that was similar to his own unique blend of ... read more CD
20th Century, 1974. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Eleventh Hour were a Bob Crewe studio project that had a hard rockin soul feel, with lots of flanged out falsetto vocals, and some bassy bits in between in sort of an early rock/funk kind of way. Sort of an AM crossover mid-70s sound, and one that's not really stone cold funky, but which still ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has seam splits, a promo sticker, and surface wear.)
Silver Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
A great little set of 70s soul – and one of the more obscure groups to ever record for the TK Records family of labels! Not to be confused with the Laura Nyro hit "Eli's Coming", this group's one that's headed up by Philly Soul maestro Bobby Eli – composer of, producer for, ... read more CD

Columbia/PTG (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
Post-disco work from The Emotions – breaking free a bit here from the Earth Wind & Fire influence, and grooving nicely with a sweet 80s feel! The girls' voices are still quite wonderful – some of the deepest harmonies in the female soul world at the time – and the tunes kick ... read more CD
Columbia/Gold Legion, 1977. Used ... $4.99
A huge hit for both The Emotions and Maurice White – whose Kalimba Productions handled this album in the same hit mode they'd been using for Earth Wind & Fire! There's a polished, soaring bounce her that definitely shows the Earth Wind & Fire touch – and which takes the girls ... read more CD

Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $7.99
Great Capitol Records material from singer Ethel Ennis – much more obscure than her RCA recordings – with jazzy backings from the great Neal Hefti! Titles include "My Foolish Heart", "I Remember", "I Cried For You", "A Change Of Scenery", "Ha ... (Vocalists, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Knockout, Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $39.99
Post Alithia work from The Escorts – a single that's got a fuller sound than their fragile early ones, and which shows them definitely trying for a dancefloor groove. "Make Me Over" has bass and a bit of a booty bump in the mix. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo.)
