Screamin Jay Hawkins —
At Home With Screamin' Jay Hawkins (180 gram red vinyl pressing) ... LP 
Epic/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1956. New Copy (reissue)... $37.99 38.99
This is the real deal for Screamin Jay Hawkins – a full album of his first early work for the Okeh label in the mid 50s, stuff that was recorded long before his too-gimmicky records for mainstream audiences! The sound here is hard and heavy – and pretty darn spooky too – best ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Individually numbered limited edition of 1000 – on heavyweight red vinyl!)
Philips, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $49.99
A nice little set from Screamin Jay Hawkins – done during his surprising revival years at the end of the 60s – and with a nice new soulful twist, thanks to production from the excellent Huey P Meaux! The vibe is definitely different than the Screamin Jay work of the 78rpm years – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing! Cover has a cutout hole and some light wear, but this is a nice copy overall.)
HBS/Universal (Japan), 1975. Used Gatefold ... $29.99
Slightly later than some of Isaac Hayes' biggest Stax albums – but a great little record that's filled with some excellent smooth soul material! The record shows Hayes really trying to push his style to new levels, and it's got a sophistication that you don't hear on earlier albums – a ... read more CD
(Out of print, 2008 SHM-CD pressing in a heavy gatefold sleeve, just like the original – includes obi!)
Polydor, 1979. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Wonderful later work from Isaac Hayes – a gem from his Polydor years that has a good mix of mellow cuts and more upbeat numbers! The record has 3 long "quiet storm" tracks that take off on Ike's earlier expanded ballad style (forged on tracks like "Walk On By") – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Isaac Hayes —
Double Feature (Truck Turner/Stax, 1974. Used 2 CDs ... $8.99
2 massive Isaac Hayes soundtracks in one set – both from the magical cinematic year of 1974! Truck Turner is a hard and heavy soundtrack that we like even more than his classic work on Shaft! Unlike Shaft, Ike actually starred in the film Truck Turner – which may be one reason why he ... read more CD
Atlantic, Late 60s/1972. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Isaac Hayes' first album as a solo act – and a much more stripped down record than his later baroque symphonic sides! Ike's working here in trio mode – playing piano and singing, alongside bass from Donald Duck Dunn and drums from the great Al Jackson – who brings in a warmly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(1841 Broadway pressing, including Atlantic inner sleeve. Cover has a few spots of gloss separation, and light edge wear.)
Enterprise, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
Stellar soul from Isaac Hayes – just the sort of overblown masterpiece that made his early solo work on Stax Records so great! The record features only 4 long tracks – all of which go on in that slow-building style that Ike forged at the time – a mode that takes a few simple ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow logo label pressing in a gatefold cover, in nice shape! With a 'gold record award' sticker.)
Enterprise, 1973. Very Good+ ... $13.99
One of the funkiest Isaac Hayes albums for Stax – thanks mostly to the extended title cut! The tune "Joy" is a monster – running for nearly 16 minutes long, and starting with a killer drum break on the intro – then full, proud, bad-stepping Isaac Hayes grooves ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In the embossed cover.)
Isaac Hayes —
Live At The Sahara Tahoe ... LP Enterprise, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
A stunning live example of Ike's amazing baroque soul for Stax! Despite the schmaltz that you might expect from a live set recorded at Lake Tahoe, the album's a beautiful batch of long tracks with a very similar feel to Ike's other Stax work at the time – and it really gives you an excellent ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In the embossed die-cut cover. Includes the heavy inner sleeves. Cover has a lightly bumped corner, but is nice overall.)
Polydor, 1977. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Great later work by Isaac Hayes – working here in a post-Stax, post-ABC mode that has him forging a smooth soul sound that's really great! The album's not disco, but more of an extension of Ike's baroque approach to arranging – with subtle use of strings and keyboards, in a real Philly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Enterprise, 1974. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $16.99
Massive work from Isaac Hayes – a hard and heavy soundtrack that we like even more than his classic work on Shaft!

(Cover has ring and edge wear, a cutout notch, and aging.)
Columbia, 1986. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A sweet little comeback album for Isaac Hayes in the mid 80s – really going all in with a crisp and bouncy 80s soul groove – a far stretch from the smouldering and soaring funk of the 70s, but a record that's a lot easier to appreciate that a love for 80s sounds has crept back up into ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light staining and waviness on the bottom seam.)
Get On Down, 1971. New Copy ... $15.99 17.98
One of the funkiest songs ever from Issac Hayes – presented here in the non-stop, 33 minute jam session that gave the world the shorter single! The whole thing is amazing – and even more of a chance to see Hayes' genius in the studio than some of his full albums – as Ike conducts ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jasmine (UK), Mid 50s. New Copy 2CD ... $18.99 19.99
Wonderful solo work from Linda Hayes – a singer who's maybe best known for her relationship to The Platters in their early years, but a hell of a vocalist on her own – much more soulful than in that famous group, with a quality that almost rivals some of the best female R&B singers ... read more CD
Sire, 1988. Sealed ... $11.99

Dunhill, 1970. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
A classic bit of southern funky rock from Roy Head – an artist who's in the same territory here as Tony Joe White on his early albums for Monument!

Buddah/Arista, 1978. Very Good ... $4.99
Smooth mellow soul by Michael Henderson – taking up where he left off with his work with Norman Connors, and proving that he was an even better vocalist than bassist.

Post-Labelle solo work from Nona Hendryx – and a set that very much shows that she's the one who brought all the raw funky power to the group!

Two classics from Luther Ingram! First up is Let's Steal Away – a masterfully mature record that really helped take southern soul to the next level in the mid 70s!

Salsoul, 1979. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Maybe the third great Philly studio group of the 70s – after MFSB and Salsoul Orchestra – a killer combo who provided backing grooves to plenty of great club tracks over the years – and who step out strongly here on their own debut album!

Intruders —
Best Of The Intruders ... LP Philadelphia International/Legacy, 1970s. Sealed ... $16.99

RCA (Japan), 1976. Used ... $39.99
Weldon Irvine's last album for a major label – and a key set that marks the debut of the legendary Don Blackman!

Nodlew/Pure Pleasure (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
One of the most beautiful records to come out of the early 70s – a tremendous indie effort from a young Weldon Irvine!

Sony/Mr Bongo (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 27.98

T Neck/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 27.99
A very weird, but very beautiful album by the Isleys – one in which they move into a folksy rock groove, and play acoustic guitars in long spiraling soulful versions of some of their favorite rock hits!

Isley Brothers —
Go All The Way ... LP T Neck, 1980. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
It's the end of the 70s, and the Isleys are still going strong – keeping it real by dropping some of the fake funk of a few years before, and going for a smooth soul sound that would be one of their biggest strengths during the early 80s. This sound can be heard to perfection on the tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
T Neck/Iconoclassic, 1977. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
A stone 70s classic from the Isley Brothers – a set recorded right at the height of their glory days – at a time when their sound was completely on the money! The cover has the group on stage – a photo taken during their run of arena concerts at the time – but the album's a ... read more CD
T Neck, 1978. Near Mint- ... $1.99
Funky dancefloor material from the Isleys – pretty guitar-heavy, and not really their best moment, as the soul quotient's a bit low, and they're kind of lost in the grooves. "I Wanna Be" is served up in a disco version, which is really just an extended funker. 12-inch, Vinyl record
