Fairport Convention — Unhalfbricking (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Island (UK), 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

The record where it all really came together for Fairport Convention – the point at which the already-great group really stepped forward to become something totally unique! By this point all the key elements are firmly in place – sublime vocals from the great Sandy Denny, amazing ... (Folk/Country) read more CD

Luther Grosvenor — Under Open Skies (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Island/Esoteric (UK), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

An overlooked gem from that key moment when Island Records was pushing into some of the farther reaches of the UK scene – and turning out some really interesting records like this in the process! Luther Grosvenor worked in Spooky Tooth, but he's got a quality here that's very different than ... (Rock) read more CD

Gwen Guthrie — Portrait (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Island/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

Early work from Gwen Guthrie – produced by Sly & Robbie, but with a sweet modern soul sound that's got a lot less of their influence than you'd guess! The sound is much more New York than Jamaica – and that's probably due to some great instrumental backing on keyboards by the likes ... (Soul) read more CD

Jade Warrior — Wind Borne – The Island Albums 1974 to 1978 (Floating World/Kites/Waves/Way Of The Sun) (4CD set) ... CD
Island/Esoteric (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 4CD ... Out Of Stock

Four important albums from Jade Warrior – all brought together here in a single set! Floating World is the first album in Jade Warrior's mid-70s run for Island Records – and a set that marks a key shift for the group – a moment when they leaned even more heavily into their ... (Rock) read more CD

Miles Jaye — Miles ... CD
Island/Universal (Japan), 1987. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

Miles Jaye once played the cop in the Village People, but don't hold that against him – because by the time of this debut set, he'd really crafted his style as a soul singer – which makes the record a key part of a new trend in male soul for the late 80s! Jaye's got a cool, ... (Soul) read more CD

Remi Kabaka — Son Of Africa ... CD
Island/BBE (UK), 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

A really funky set from the UK scene of the 70s – an album that mixes West African roots with some of the hipper elements going on in London at the time – a city where Remi Kabaka had been lending his talents to a variety of different records over the years! The set was issued by ... (Global Grooves) read more CD

Also available Son Of Africa ... LP 24.99

Bob Marley & The Wailers — Catch A Fire (3CD set) ... CD
Island, 1973. New Copy 3CD ... $32.99 35.99

The first Bob Marley album on Island Records – and the start of a really legendary run that would not only transform reggae in the 70s, but the rest of popular music as well! Chris Blackwell's partially at the helm on production, but the album was mostly recorded in classic Kingston studios ... (Reggae) read more CD

Mica Paris — So Good (deluxe edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD
Island/Cherry Pop (UK), 1989. New Copy 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock

A huge moment in British soul – the debut album from Mica Paris, and a set that broke almost as big on our side of the Atlantic as it did in the UK! Mica's got a wonderful vocal style here – a bit cooler and classier than some of her contemporaries – maybe even in the territory ... (Soul) read more CD

Quintessence — Move Into Light – The Complete Island Recordings 1969 to 1971 ... CD
Island/Esoteric (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2CD ... $17.99 24.99

Very cool work from Quintessence – an overlooked British group at the end of the 60s, and one who've got a sound that's every bit as spiritual as you'd guess from the cover! These guys are so influenced by Eastern thought, their lead singer is named Shiva – and most of the group ... (Rock) read more CD

Sun Treader — Zin Zin (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
Island/Big Pink (South Korea), 1973. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A great bit of drawn-out fusion – played by a British trio that features electric keyboards, bass, and percussion! The tracks have a jamming jazz-rock approach – but never get too overindulgent, and never fall into the traps of some of the other British groups of the time. Instead, ... (Rock) read more CD

Richard Thompson — Henry The Human Fly ... CD
Island (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99

Richard Thompson is relatively fresh out of Fairport Convention here, and while there are traces of that group in his solo music, it's also very clear that the set is the key to his long legacy to come! Thompson's guitar is much more upfront than before – really finding itself in both an ... (Rock) read more CD

(Part of the "Golden Era Of Rock – 1965 to 1975" series!)

A trio of overlooked albums from UK group Vinegar Joe – packaged here with bonus tracks as well!
