United Artists/Collectables, Early 60s. Used ... $4.99
Early Detroit soul – by the great Marv Johnson, one of the first talents to be supervised by a young Berry Gordy! In fact, it could be said that everything Berry put into his work with Marv led to the formation of Motown – as Marv's mixture of smooth vocals and swinging soul really ... read more CD
Velvet Ramp/Mississippi, Mid 60s. New Copy ... $13.99 16.99
Soul singer Ruby Johnson never recorded a full album back in the day – and this set nicely corrects that fact, by bringing together some of her rare singles as a wonderful ten track album!

Columbia/Be With (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
One of our favorite 70s soul records ever – and a totally unique set as well!

Hi Records/Fat Possum, 1974. New Copy ... $8.99 13.99
The great Syl Johnson – doing his thing for Hi Records on a record that's more shiny diamond than it is rough – his second album for the label and a truly underappreciated gem from the Chi soul great! Diamond In The Rough is a much sweeter set of tunes than Syl's Chicago work on ... read more CD

France Joli ... LP Prelude, 1979. Very Good ... $4.99
A sexy disco classic that crossed over big – probably thanks as much to France's sultry photo on the cover as it was to her sweet and jazzy vocals! The tunes were all written and arranged by Tony Green – who's grooving here very much in the best Prelude mode – letting the group ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Durand Jones —
Wait Till I Get Over ... CD Dead Oceans, 2023. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
The stunning debut as a solo act for Durand Jones – a set that's even deeper and more powerful than his work with The Indications, at a level that shows that Jones is a soul singer with a hell of a lot of potential, and not just another voice working in a funk band!

Prestige, 1960. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Could anyone ever utter a sexier line than "Don't go to strangers, come to me?" We think not, and it's material like that that makes the album a real killer from Etta Jones – one of her best from the 60s, cut when she was really developing her skills as a vocalist, but still had ...

Come Go With Me ... LP Uptown, Late 60s. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Very nice lost Uptown soul album, with nice arrangements by Lincoln Mayorga, and some very raw vocals from Gloria.

Island, 1981. Very Good+ ... $34.99

Universal (Japan), 1990. New Copy ... $13.99 16.99
A really great solo set from Kipper Jones – previously in the group Thrust, but maybe even better here as a lead act on his own! The record was really slept on at the time, but it's definitely in the stronger side of mainstream soul of the period – new jack beats on many cuts, but a ... read more CD
