A very weird little Disney album – a set that features narration and a bit of singing by the unusual team of Maurice Chevalier and Hayley Mills – as they introduce you to songs by Annette Funicello, Gary Shortall, and Billy Storm! (Rock) LP, Vinyl record album
Seminal work from one of the 70s greatest groups! The band had always been great at love songs and uptempo numbers – but this record has them moving into more righteous area, picking up on some of the more socially conscious soul of their generation that had been working its way up the ...

(Cover has ring & edge wear, some seam splitting, and a bit of pen on back. Labels have a name in pen.)
A great collection of tracks that features many hard to find tracks from the early days, before the band broke super-huge with "Oh Girl". That one's included on this album, as are the cuts "A Lonely Man", "Let Me Be The Man My Daddy Was", "Love Uprising", ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Nothing half about The Chi-Lites at all – as the group were always tremendous during their famous run at Brunswick Records – able to come across perfectly on mellow ballads and more upbeat numbers! This set is a wonderful illustration of the really unique Chicago-based approach that ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Beautiful beautiful work from The Chi-Lites – and a record that we might even say tops the best of their late Brunswick book! Despite the move from that label to Mercury, the group have a sound here that's still wonderfully fragile and harmony-focused – especially on the mellower cuts, ...

(Shrinkwrap has a hole in front. Cover has a cut corner.)
One of the biggest records ever from The Chi-Lites – thanks to the "Oh Girl" title hit that's referenced on the cover! But apart from that ballad classic, the record's actually got a heck of a lot more to offer – some incredible harmony soul tracks that show that even during ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A sweet new groove from The Chi-Lites – working here as a trio, and stepping out with a lean groove to match! The album's got the 80s soul vibe you'd expect from the group's image on the cover – lots of keyboards and beats alongside the vocals – which themselves are slightly ...

Not really any hits on this one, but Nile Rogers and the group still keep grooving along – wangling that pop disco groove with amazing sharpness! Titles include "Chip Off the Old Block", "Open Up", "26", "I Loved You More", "Real People", and ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Chicago's second album – not as familiar as the first, and with some really great moments!

Still part of the classic early run of the group – one of the most production for an act like this in the 70s – and an album that still has them putting out a double-length set of goodness! Titles include "Byblos", "Song Of The Evergreens", "Searchin So ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An overlooked funky classic from Chocolate Milk – and a set that still preserves the tight grooves of the group's earliest work!

One of the greatest albums by this sweet east coast vocal group – also known to folks as the Golden Apples album, because of the crate full of gold-covered apples on the cover. The album's got a wonderful mellow harmony sound – arranged and produced by Van McCoy, much more in the style ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A very groovy set of short vibes-based instrumentals – played by Chicago jazzman Bobby Christian, a great player who did a fair bit of studio work in the city (including some for the Gus Giordano dance studio series), but who rarely ever got to record much on his own. The cuts are all short ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Duet ... LP Capitol, 1955. Very Good+ ...

Haunting stuff – and one of June Christy's darkest albums! June's singing here with her old boss, Stan Kenton, at the piano – no other real backing, just the pair of them working together in a session that's uniquely stripped down for the time. June's vocals are frail and tender ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Unless we're mistaken '92 is the very dawn of the Trakmasterz dynasty, but pretty nearly the end of Chubb Rock's career (is that a picture of the microphone trying to get away from Chubb on the cover?).

An essential 2LP set that's just about the only vinyl release you can find that documents the work of the legendary (and short-lived) Circle group – an important avant jazz combo that featured Anthony Braxton, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Barry Altschul. The record captures a Parisian ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great debut for singer Chuck Cissel – a vocalist who started on the stage in New York, but made an easy move to records with this late 70s gem!

Stanley Clarke may be on a journey to love – but that doesn't mean that the album's too sweet or romantic!

Killer work from Stanley Clarke – a set to start off the 80s, but still very much in that unique blend of jazz, rock, and soul he forged so well in the 70s!

Fully-formed genius from Stanley Clarke – his first album for Columbia Records, and already a radical departure from the spiritual jazz of his previous set for Polydor!

A classic from the undisputed master of the swing jazz jam session! Jumpin' At The Woodside has Buck Clayton recreating a Count Basie vibe, but in a much more open-ended, and long-grooving way!

One of the great lost psych albums on late 60s Elektra Records – a set that's maybe got enough power and majesty to stand next to contemporaneous label releases by Love and The Doors!

A bit over the top – and the kind of record that might have bankrupted Curtom in its later years!

Linda's first effort for Curtom, and a record that's got a bit more soul than some of her later more disco-oriented albums.

A masterful album from Billy Cobham – and maybe the best 70s record to really demonstrate the unique place he found for himself in 70s fusion!

Heavy-jamming fusion from Billy Cobham – done at a time when he was already cutting plenty of heavy-jamming fusion!
