Amazing Timi Yuro – The Mercury Years ... CD 
Mercury (UK), Mid 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Scandalous Sex Suite ... CD Warner, 1989. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Possibly the only good thing to come out of the first Batman movie – and certainly a lot better than Prince's score for the film – this is an extended 20-minute slow jam suite, with a guest appearance by Kim Basinger, and some of the last real sexy musical work that Prince ever did!

Gregg Diamond's Star Cruiser ... LP Marlin, 1978. Very Good ... $9.99

Washing Machine/Trax, 1986. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
If you ask us, this is Larry Heard's finest moment, combining the raw energy of early Chicago house with a jazzy sensibility, warm tones on the keyboards and a spare approach that gives all the elements room to breath. A modern classic! (House Music, Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Energy To Burn ... LP Columbia/Roadshow, 1976. Very Good ... $4.99
A killer set that's extremely well-titled – as BT Express were one of the hottest ensemble funk acts of their time!

Brothers Johnson —
Strawberry Letter 23/A&M, 1976/1977. Very Good (pic cover)... $9.99
Completely sublime! Shuggie Otis first wrote and recorded "Strawberry Letter 23", but it took The Brothers Johnson, and some smooth Quincy Jones production to make it a hit!
