One of the only solo efforts from the legendary Who drummer Keith Moon – with guest work from Joe Walsh and other top-shelf talents – and even a bit of singing from Keith himself! (Rock) LP, Vinyl record album
(In the die-cut cover, including the heavy inner sleeve. Cover has a cut corner and some edge & ring wear, spot of marker.)
An overlooked gem from Joe Mooney – a singer/pianist best known from the 50s, but who works here with some sweet Hammond as well! The group's a nice one – with Mundell Lowe on guitar, Joe Venuto on vibes, and Jerry Dodgion on flute – and tracks include "Cute", "When ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(360 sound stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and a bit of pen.)
A beautiful early session on Charles Mingus' Debut Records label – one that features singer Ada Moore – a thin-voiced, yet soulful songstress with an edgey sort of tone! The album's got lots of nice rough edges that take it away from the cliched vocal album of the time – ... (Vocalists) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 80s limited OJC pressing. Cover has a cut corner, light wear, some marks from large sticker removal in front, and is bent at the top right corner.)
Lovely lovely work from Dudley Moore – known to most as a comedic actor, but also a heck of a jazz pianist, and head of his own groovy trio during the 60s! The tunes mix together soul jazz and bossa trio styles – all dancing together in Dud's incredibly light-touched style on the ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Red label Decca pressing – nice and clean! Bottom cover seam is slightly unglued, but just for an inch or two.)
A classic set of 70s crossover deep soul – recorded in the mode of similar work by Betty Wright or Laura Lee, and done with a similar mix of raw southern vocals and tighter production! About half the work was handled by the team of Dave Crawford and Brad Shapiro – working in the ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Broadway label stereo pressing with RI suffix. Cover has a small cutout notch.)
Melba Moore gets some great help here from the Philly soul duo of McFadden & Whitehead – whose soaring styles proves to be a perfect fit for her amazing voice!

Titles include "Lean On Me", "Then We Can Try Again", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "New World Coming", and a few medley tracks. (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
Excellent work from an overlooked guitar jazz talent of the 50s – a player who's best known for his 40s stints in the Nat King Cole Trio and The Three Blazers, with brother Johnny Moore – but who steps out here on his own in a straight jazz setting! This is one of Oscar's first records ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Rudy Ray Moore takes the White House – or at least tries to – in this cool 1972 album that must have been a great antidote to the campaigns of Richard Nixon and George McGovern! The set starts with Rudy running his way through a whole bunch of campaign issues – including "Fre ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Rudy Ray Moore cut some mighty raunchy records in his time – but this one may well the be the raunchiest, and maybe the funkiest too! The album's an instruction of "the proper way to make love to a lady" – but done in true Rudy Ray style, with very down-to-earth language that ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a split spine, light surface wear, and a pen mark.)
Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion! The vibe here is as rough and raw as you'd expect – a no-holds-barred version of party records, with Rudy using plenty of language hardly heard ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Green label Comedian Series pressing. Cover has a light corner bend.)
(Clean promo in a stickered sleeve, with unglued seams and some wear. Vinyl is nice, but disc one has a heated edge that causes light noise for a few spins at the beginning of each side.)
Classic bossa mixed with more ambitious touches for the 70s – easily one of the greatest records ever to come from the team of Vinicius and Toquinho! The record has vocals by both, often layered on top of each other with a wonderfully spacious feel that spreads out beautifully between the ... (Brazil) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A rare session by Vinicius – featuring a 1970 recording in Buenos Aires – with Maria Creuza and Toquinho. Creuzza was at her best during the early 70s – and working here with the classic bossa team of poet Vinicius De Moraes and guitarist Toquinho, she really sparkles with a ...

$11.9914.99
Classic stuff by Noro – and a wonderful selection of hard to find material from the 50s! This isn't really a greatest hits album – but it is a good sampling of some of his better (and better-recorded) work during the postwar years, and almost all of the tracks have a nice hard groove ...

Great stuff – and one of the purest examples we can find of the Latin piano style of the great Noro Morales!

Beautiful spare sounds from Noro Morales – and an album that really lets you hear his amazing work on the piano!

Great stuff by Noro – featuring his haunting piano lines spun out over spare backing by percussion only, in a manner that you don't always find on his other recordings. A few tracks have larger orchestrations, but they're still pretty darn tight, and have a great hard sound to them. The set' ... (Latin) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Early 70s US Arcano pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, application wrinkles at the opening, a tiny peeled spot in front, and small splits in the seams.)
An album with a bit of a split personality, a combination of slick modern reggae, and crisp 80s groove soul numbers. While the reggae numbers aren't much to write home about, the soul tracks are an outstanding example of the best of the 80s groove style, with horn lines punctuating Morgan's ...

A really unique album from the great Lee Morgan – a set that features the trumpeter in two different settings, but in a way that really works well together!

A great album by Lee Morgan – and one not to pass up!

It's hard to believe that anyone ever took the electronics of Giorgio Moroder seriously enough to think they'd be the right setting for an intensely dramatic thriller like this – but in the decade when Italian thrillers were doing the same thing, it's kind of easy to see.

Ennio Morricone's beautiful score to one of the beautifully shot films of the 70s, or all time, really – Terrence Malick's legendary Days Of Heaven!

A later date from Audrey Morris – the Chicago singer who's probably best remembered for some classic RCA sessions in the 50s, but who also kept on doing her own thing for decades later in the Windy City!

One of the coolest records in the 60s surf/hotrod/motorcycle years of instrumental sets – an album that's partly sound effects from races, and partly instrumental music!

Landmark British metal from Motorhead– inarguably one of the greatest albums ever in the genre!

A great 70s album from this excellent Brazilian harmony group!
