Massive massive Miami funk – and a record that seems to sound better and better as the years move on!

Virgin, 1999. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $49.99
At the time of this album's original release, the Neptunes had yet to take over the world, so it barely saw the light of day.

Wow! We really grew to love southern soul singer Paul Kelly's sweet run of records for Warners in the 70s, but heard scant few of his earlier 45s – recorded for Lloyd, Dial, Phillips and the Happy Tiger label from the mid 60s into the early 70 – it's wonderful stuff!

Rhino/Mobile Fidelity, 1967. Used ... $24.99
One of THE electric blues records of the 60s – a seminal set by Albert King that was probably blasted out of more college dorm rooms than southside juke joints, but which still more than deserves its due!

RCA, 1960s. Very Good+ ... $36.99
Polydor/Robinsongs (UK), Early 80s. New Copy 10CD ... $69.99
An insanely big collection of work from Level 42 – a British group from the 80s who were equal parts soul and pop, but also had a strongly jazzy current as well! These guys leapt onto the international scene from the British one in the mid 80s – thanks to a soulful core that not only ... read more CD
Atlantic/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1960s. New Copy 3CD ... $24.99
Damn fantastic work from Barbara Lewis – one of our favorite soul singers of the 60s, and an artist who's a bit unlike anyone else! Lewis hails from the Detroit area, but also did a fair bit of early recording in Chicago – and in a way, her sound is maybe a mix of the class of Motown ... read more CD
Hotlanta/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $24.99
One of the greatest albums of southern soul from the 70s – a set we'd put right up there next to the Soul Children albums on Stax, or the new sound that was brewing up down at Malaco! Jimmy Lewis is an artist who never fully got his due – but he wrote and produced the whole set, at a ... read more CD
Columbia/Legacy, 1970s/Early 80s. Used ... $2.99
Imperial, Late 50s. Sealed ... $19.99
Raw New Orleans soul from Overton "Smiley" Lewis – one of the city's big stars in the 50s R&B years, and a singer who arguably set the stage for later deep soul to come! A few years before, and Lewis might have been more of a blues singer – but here, he's working with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Webster Lewis —
Live At Kongsberg Jazz 1971 ... LP Jazzaggression (Finland), 1971. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Totally great work from the legendary keyboard giant Webster Lewis – very different than the major label records he cut in America during the late 70s, and instead this wonderful blend of jazz, funk, and soul! Webster plays Hammond, and spins out tunes that start slow, then build nicely ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Individually numbered, limited edition of 250 copies. Note: This pressing has a very slight warp, common to all copies we have – but it plays fine, and is very limited, so we're still offering them for stock.)
P-Vine (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $22.99
Rare funk from the same Minneapolis scene that gave the world Prince – a legendary indie set from the end of the 70s, put together by Lewis brothers Pierre and Andre! Despite their French names, the duo have a mighty American groove on the set – a wicked approach to funk that's very ... read more CD
Roadrunner, 1981. Very Good (pic cover)... $24.99
An unlikely, but huge influence on the Chicago and Detroit house scenes of the 80s! Liaisons Dangereuses were a German combo with a sound that was part post-punk, part post-prog – electronic-based music that was somewhere in the neighborhood of Cabaret Voltaire and DAF. And like those two ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Dutch pressing–plays at 45 RPM. Cover is bent around the edges, with small tears in the opening, unglued bottom seam, and small peeled spot at the bottom.)

Judnell/Now Again, 1970. New Copy 2CD ... $6.99 15.98
A record that definitely lives up to its title – as it's a lot freer and more spiritual than later work from drummer Bubbha Thomas and his Lightmen group! This set perfectly captures the unique vibe that the ensemble brought to the Houston scene at the start of the 70s – really the ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD
Judnell/Now Again, 1971. New Copy 2CD ... $6.99 15.98
Some of the most righteous sounds we've ever heard from Houston legends The Lightmen – recorded at a time when the group was at their most spiritual, and very firmly following a cosmic path set down by drummer Bubbha Thomas! The music here owes nothing to the hippest sounds coming from the ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD
