Martin Luther King —
American Dream ... LP Dooto, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $6.99
Supposedly one of the first records of Dr King's speeches to be recorded – put together by Dootsie Williams in LA, and the forebearer of what would become a very popular genre in the 60s!

Deadly Drive (red vinyl pressing) ... LP Asylum/Lawson (Japan), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 49.99
Soulful city pop from the end of the 70s – a record that features the unique vocal stylings of Ginji Ito next to these really groovy, surprisingly jazzy arrangements – which also include some work from Ryuichi Sakamoto!

Kifu Mitsuhashi with Yamaya Kiyoshi —
Shakuhachi – Ballads Of The Village ... LP Columbia/Lawson (Japan), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 49.99
A great blend of funky jazz and wooden flute – the Japanese shakuhachi reed instrument, blown by Kifu Mitsuhashi here – then mixed with some larger backings that almost have a CTI Records sort of groove! The approach is similar to some of the best 70s projects from Hozan Yamamoto ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Special Japan Record Day Release – with obi!)
Ennio Morricone —
Fistful Of Dollars ... LP RCA, 1967. Very Good ... $14.99
A landmark record – not only in the history of the western, but in that of Ennio Morricone!

Ryo Kawasaki —
Ryo – Concierto De Aranjuez ... LP Universal/Lawson (Japan), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the wildest sets ever recorded by Japanese guitarist Ryo Kawasaki – and that's saying a lot, given some of his other work! The vibe here is fusion, but with a definite 80s spacey twist that's hinted at by the cover – as Kawasaki handles most of the instruments himself, mixing ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mikio Masuda —
Mickey's Mouth ... LP East Wind/Lawson (Japan), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 49.99

People —
Ceremony – Buddah Meet Rock ... LP Teichiku/Lawson (Japan), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $43.99 49.99
Quite a weird little record – part psychedelia, but with some really rootsy elements – and also some odd use of recorded music as well! The sound here is really mindblowing – experimental and trippy, but never too free or over the top – and the core instrumentation includes ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Koharu Kisaragi —
Tokai No Seikatsu (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Wave/Lawson (Japan), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... $46.99 54.99
A really cool album from the Japanese scene of the 80s – one that's much more experimental and creative than some of the city pop material of the time – with a shifting style of music that really keeps things interesting! Ryuichi Sakamoto helped with the first track on the set, which ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yoko Maeno —
Twilight (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Columbia/Lawson (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $39.99 49.99
A jazzy bit of city soul from Yoko Maeno – a singer who's got a style that's partly like some of her Japanese contemporaries, and partly in a breathier mode – maybe a bit in territory that's like Jane Birkin and some other French singers of the 70s! The tunes have a nicely slinky vibe ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media —
In The Groove (white vinyl pressing) (2024 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Columbia/Lawson (Japan), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Jiro Inagaki's definitely in the groove here – hitting hard with a sweet electric vibe, on a set that's easily one of his funkiest albums ever! The set's got a wicked mix of jazz and funk that's right up there with the best on 70s CTI or Kudu – but maybe even leaner overall, given the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ryusei Tomoyose —
Dah Nah ... LP Union/Lawson (Japan), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $43.99 49.99

Masao Yagi —
Inga ... LP King/Lawson (Japan), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $42.99 49.99
Great 70s work from Japanese pianist Masao Yagui – a set that's got some fusion elements, but which also holds onto some of his earlier modern energies as well! The lineup here is relatively large – with Yagui on piano and keyboards, plus Akira Miyazawa on tenor, Shigeo Suziki on alto, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pigmeat Markham —
Tune Me In ... LP Chess, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
A great album that mixes funky music and comedy routines by Pigmeat!

Ben E King —
Supernatural ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good ... $4.99
A brilliant 70s comeback for Ben E King – a record that shows the world that his vocals are still some of the best in soul, long after his early hits – and a massively mature effort that also grooves like a mofo! King's style here is completely different than before – rich, full, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some light wear.)
Juni & Too Much —
Too Much ... LP Atlantic/Lawson (Japan), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $49.99 58.99
One of the rarest Japanese hard rock albums of the 70s – and one of the heaviest too – a record that's definitely got plenty of the "too much" promised by the title and group! Juni Rush handles lead vocals, but the guitar work of Tutomu Ogawa may well be the equally strong ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Aretha Franklin —
Young, Gifted, & Black ... LP Atlantic, 1972. Very Good ... $14.99
A beautiful album that perfectly mixes both sides of Aretha Franklin's talents – the hard-edged soul singer who first flourished at Atlantic records in the late 60s, and the artist who was growing even more as a vocalist – really reaching out her wings to more sophisticated material! ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original 1841 Broadway label pressing. Vinyl plays with a clickon the last 2 songs on side 1. Cover has light wear & a bent corner.)
Nina Simone —
At The Village Gate ... LP Colpix, 1961. Very Good ... $13.99
An album recorded relatively early in the career of singer Nina Simone – but a set that already shows the very unique approach that would make her a legend by the time the 60s moved on! Even the very first tune is a stunner – a haunting reworking of the favorite "Just In Time" ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s pressing on Ghent. Vinyl plays with a light click on the first track. Cover is nice!)
Oscar Peterson —
This Is Oscar Peterson (10-inch LP) ... LP RCA, 1952. Very Good ... $16.99
Rare pre-Verve material from the great Oscar Peterson – a host of early tracks recorded for RCA in the 50s! If you think that Peterson only emerged fully-formed in the hands of Norman Granz during the 50s, then think again – because this work really shows a young player already hitting ...

The only LP from this First Priority family member who released a couple of nice tracks as singles on the label, especially his duets with MC Lyte.

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

Incredible work from Ben E King!

A fantastic update of earlier soul duo modes – served up here by two of the most badass soul singers of the 70s!

Thesaurus ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good ... $3.99
