Sutra, 1982. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A wicked little track that's a real classic from the electro years – a tune that vamps along with great bass and keyboards, but which also features some soulful vocals over the top alongside the electronics!

Mellow soul, sweeping strings, and sweet electric keys – a stone 70s classic from Norman Feels – one of the greatest soul singers you've never heard before!

Shanachie, Early 80s. Used ... $6.99
Excellent work from Fela – recorded in the early 80s, but every bit as great as his classic 70s work!

An amazing album-length jam from Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 – recorded on the group's home turf at Kalakuta, and with this stretched-out building of energy that's completely amazing!

Westbound (UK), Early 70s/2017. New Copy 2 CDs ... $14.99 19.98
The classic sound of Funkadelic, reworked by a key selection of contemporary talents from the Detroit scene – but never in a way that wrecks the originals at all! Unlike other remix projects, which might break up the music to a point that you can hardly recognize the original grooves – ... read more CD

Maggot Brain ... LP Westbound/4 Men With Beards, 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $22.99 26.98
Amazing stuff – and arguably the greatest early Funkadelic album ever! The set moves past the simple fuzzy style of the group's debut, and the overly-stoned sound of Free Your Mind – and rockets into a heady funk style that's filled with sly social commentary and an incredibly dark ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner/Charly (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $9.99
One of our favorite Funkadelic albums ever – a tightly grooving classic that never lets up at all! There's a sense of perfection to everything here – one that really gets the group past their tripped-out early years, and firmly into the sublime territory George Clinton hit with ... read more CD
BGO (UK), Early 80s. New Copy 2CD ... $15.99
A pair of early 80s classics from the Gap Band – back to back in a single set! First up is Gap Banc IV – perhaps the ultimate album for The Gap Band – and sure, it was a hit, but the record still sounds great today, and the constant sampling of some of the record has kept it ... read more CD
Mercury/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. Used ... $9.99
The Gap Band are definitely Jammin on this sweet little set from the early 80s – hitting that fierce funk mode they do so well, with lots of snapping lines at the bottom of the rhythms! The style is trademark Gap all the way through – a percolated approach to funk that's tight, but ... read more CD

Expansion (UK), 1985. New Copy ... $9.99
A rare lost modern soul gem, which we too rarely come across! Recorded in 1985 for the Philly World label as Gardner's debut LP, the story as we understand it is that this record never really hit the shelves – for some reason it was pulled at the last minute by the label. We can't figure ... read more CD
Now Again, 1970s/1980s. New Copy ... $7.99 17.98
A fantastic anthology of Flint, MI soul great Regional Garland – 70s soul empires were built on lesser talent than you'll find on this set put together by Egon & Now Again! Garland is a performer, producer, songwriter and arranger of whom we were most familiar with for his work with the ... read more CD
Columbia/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy ... $11.99
A clubby classic from the enigmatic Gary's Gang – a group who scored a big disco hit with the title track of this album, a unique groove that features some weird keyboard and synth touches – alongside some surprisingly great percussion at the bottom! The group effortlessly mix electric ... read more CD
Masterseal, 1957. Very Good ... $2.99
Romping instrumentals from the west coast scene – a set that's more R&B than the rock promised in the title! Tracks include "Rock Around My Baby", "Love To Rock With You", "Rock Clock Rock", "Shoe Shine Rock", "Fish Beat Rock", and "T ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label Masterseal pressing with deep groove, in the full photo cover. Cover has some wear.)
Tuff City/Funky Delicacies, Early 70s. New Copy ... $18.99
An essential bit of funkiness from this obscure New Orleans funk combo! The Gaturs' frontman was keyboardist Willie Tee – who went on to greater fame as a jazz and session player – but we like him best at this early point, when he was wailing away on organ in a tight choppy small group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Capitol/Right Stuff, 1983. Used ... $4.99
A bit of a mystery. The quality of the recording is very rough (most likely a bootleg), and the liner notes kind of go on to say that Marvin wasn't in good shape at the time of this recording, that he was only touring for money, and that there was a lot of cocaine about. Kind of makes the whole ... read more CD
