Oldies But Goodies ... LP Weird World, Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $8.99

An indisputable classic from Cameo – one that has them changing up their sound from earlier albums!

Musique —
Keep On Jumpin' ... LP Prelude, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A super-huge hit for Musique – quite a soulful group of singers, despite the strange and cheesy cover of the album – which makes them look like a bunch of roller disco porn stars caught in the studio!
