Sire/Ze, 1982. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
Ha! This one really takes us back! The set was a massive breakthrough for August Darnell – one of his biggest hits since his day with Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, with an equally appealing approach to the dancefloor. Tracks mix early 80s New York club styles with Darnell's mad ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dae Seong (South Korea), 1983. Very Good ... $33.99
A haunting Korean album that's very different than you might expect from the cover and the date – a set that has wonderful acoustic guitar work from Changwan Kim, who also sings amidst very echoey production that brings a very moody vibe to the record! (Global Grooves) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small bump in one corner, but is great overall.)
Albert King —
Born Under A Bad Sign ... LP Stax, 1967. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
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! The set was recorded by Stax with a nice raw sound – guitar very much upfront, ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

King Albert ... LP Tomato, 1977. Very Good+ ... $8.99
A tight date from 1977, and one that follows nicely in the spirit of King's later Stax sides, but with a slightly smoother groove. There's a bit of the Detroit 70s mode going on in the set – that rough-and-smooth quality that you'd find on a Don Davis production, which proves to be a ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ok, so you might be sick of hearing "Stand By Me" over and over on oldies stations, but Ben's one of the greatest soul singers of the 60s, and checking out this greatest hits set, you'll be surprised at how many great songs he sung that you might not know!

Guinness, 1977. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A really obscure album from the legendary 60s soul singer – done for the short-lived Guinness Records label, right around the same time that Ben was coming back a bit on Atlantic! This one's got a rootsier feel – almost in a southern soul mode, with Ben singing in a style that really ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Atco, 1962. Very Good+ ... $29.99
Sublime uptown soul from the great Ben E King – and session that has him paired with a young Claus Ogermann on arrangements!

Incredible work from Ben E King!

Supernatural ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
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!

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!

Black America/Buddah, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99

Verve, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $2.99 4.99
A pretty cool record from legendary drummer Gene Krupa – filled with loads of unusual percussion, all played live for the recording – set to arrangements by George Williams that are mighty dynamic! Tunes are sometimes from classical sources, but swung in a completely different way! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo MGM pressing. A great copy!)
Verve, 1956. Very Good+ ... $6.99 9.99
Kind of a reprise of earlier days – one that reunites Krupa with Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge, as the group runs through some material from earlier years. Arrangements are by Quincy Jones, Billy Byers, and Nat Pierce – and the set actually swings more cleanly than some of Krupa's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and aging, splitting in the seams and spine, and wide clear tape holding the bottom seam.)

Verve, 1958. Near Mint- ... $9.99 14.99
Gene Krupa and Gerry Mulligan – hardly a pairing that we would have thought of – but one that works surprisingly well here, and which showcases Mulligan's increasing fascination for larger group settings!

Clef, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $19.99 24.99
Killer work from Krupa's trio that features Charlie Ventura on tenor and Teddy Napoleon on piano – a really wide-open combo with a surprisingly inventive sound! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label Clef pressing, with trumpeter logo and deep groove. Cover has light wear in one corner, and a bump in another – but overall this is a great copy.)
Verve, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $11.99 18.99
A tasty early 50s session for Verve – one that has Gene reprising some tunes and a style he used in the Benny Goodman years, but in a way that's more open and laidback – in keeping with Verve's swing-based small group sessions of the time! Even more important, though, is the fact that ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Commodore Jazz Classics – Town Hall Concert ... LP Commodore/Mainstream, 1945. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A great document of an early all-star jazz concert – recorded at Town Hall by a young Bob Shad – who's clearly working here in the same live territory as producer Norman Granz! There's a great sense of variety going on here – and the record's maybe worth it alone for an excellent ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1971. Very Good ... $13.99
A real breakthrough in female soul for the 70s – the initial album from Labelle – a set that's very different material than the group were doing on their girl group singles in the 60s! The trio here is legendary – Patti Labelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash – three ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the greatest albums ever by Labelle – known especially for the massive funky title cut, which has been an in-demand groover for years!
