Flashlight ... LP Philly Groove, 1978. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Flashlight is a sweet little disco combo – one who are working here with prime Philly maestros Norman Harris, Ron Kersey, Arnold Coley, and Bobby Eli – all of whom give the group's tracks a warmly soulful quality, and a sound that's more in the mode of early/mid 70s vocal groups like ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ace/Kent (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $22.99 26.99
Righteous soul from late 60s Chicago – a killer collection of early singles from the great Darrow Fletcher – only a youngster at the time, but already working at a level that's as strong as most of his older contemporaries! Darrow's got this soaring voice that really sends us every ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

ABC, 1977. Very Good ... $4.99
Their classic, with the great long version of "Float On", which is a monster soul cut that stands tall with steppers and rappers alike. It's probably the best track they ever did, and it's all here in a version that's nearly 12 minutes long – with loads of samples that you'll ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear.)
Stax, 1973. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A great mix of Memphis, Muscle Shoals, and LA modes from Eddie Floyd – working here with help from Al Bell and Al Jackson in the studio, but also handling a fair bit of the proceedings himself! Titles include "Something To Write Home About", "Whatcha Gonna Do With My ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner and a few small staple holes.)
Stax, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $16.99
Heavy heavy soul from Eddie Floyd – definitely a progression of his "Knock On Wood" sound, with plenty of bass at the bottom, horns blaring over the top, and Eddie's deep deep vocals in between. The record kind of takes the earlier Floyd sound at Stax and fuses it to the label's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Floyd —
Knock On Wood ... LP Stax, 1967. Sealed ... $23.99
A legendary set from Eddie Floyd – the southern soul singer's first-ever album, and still the one that defines the sound of his career! The set was issued on Stax, but also helped to shape the sound of Atlantic Records soul in the 60s – a powerful bridge that crossed over big at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pye/BGO (UK), Late 60s. New Copy 2CD ... $16.99 19.99
Most folks know The Foundations for one big crossover hit that still gets a lot of oldies radio play – but the group have a heck of a lot more to offer than that, as you'll hear in this wonderful collection that not only features all their 7" single releases from the UK, but also ... read more CD

ABC, 1976. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A lot greater than you'd expect – like most of The Four Tops' excellent work on ABC. The classic Motown sound is no longer, but in its place is the same sort of positive 70s soul grooving that Lamont Dozier picked up on the label – a style that makes a perfect platform for the vocals ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover and label has initials in marker.)
Motown, 1970. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A very hip album from the Four Tops – cut with kind of a political/social edge, and a heavy vibe that was similar to what the Temptations had been using on some of their important albums for Motown at the end of the 60s. In fact, this one's got so much of that righteous Temps vibe that we ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Four Tops —
Four Tops Greatest Hits ... LP Motown, 1960s. Very Good ... $9.99
Despite the fame of their big hits – like "Reach Out I'll Be There", "I Can't Help Myself", "Baby I Need Your Loving", and "It's The Same Old Song", all of which are on this set, and which have been heard ad infinitum – the Four Tops are actually ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Motown, 1960s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Given how much you hear this sort of stuff on the radio, you could easily forget that the Four Tops are actually a heck of a great vocal group, with harmonies that blew away many of their contemporaries, and which keep their work shining long past the hits. This second volume of hits has 12 tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(German black label Tamla pressing. Cover has a partially unglued seam and light wear.)
Motown, 1966. Near Mint- ... $13.99
One of the hardest, rawest Four Tops album on 60s Motown – a unique live session, recorded at the Roostertail Nightclub in Detroit – with a sound that shows that the Tops could maybe shine even more away from the studio! Levi Stubbs' leads are especially incredible – not just a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing.)
Motown, 1985. Near Mint- ... $3.99
Titles include "I'm Ready For Love", "Don't Tell Me That It's Over", "Easier Said Than Done", "Maybe Tomorrow", and "Again". LP, Vinyl record album

Motown, 1967. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A classic 60s album by the Four Tops – really one of their better efforts of the period – a record that finds the group working some soulful magic on a couple of their best known tunes, as well as adding a dose of deeper emotion to some hit songs of the time! Like other Motown success ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has a small cutout notch and Stereo sticker.)
