Baduizm ... LP 
MCA, 1997. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A landmark debut from the mighty Erykah Badu – a record that really set the world on fire when it first appeared – and which continues to blow our minds all these many years later! There's a simple, straightforward grace to the album that comes through immediately – as Erykah ... (Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Oliver Cheatham —
Saturday Night (plus bonus track) ... CD MCA/Vinyl Masterpiece (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A stone club classic from the early 80s – one of the best mainstream groovers of the post-disco years! Cheatham's a percussionist by trade, but really comes off with something extra here – a smoothly soulful groove that's sublime from start to finish – no filler, no cliches, just ...

Patsy Cline —
Tribute To Patsy Cline/Decca/BGO (UK), Early 60s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The great Patsy Cline left this planet all too soon – so soon that she never got a chance to record in the full length album mode that would soon be such a big part of country music expression in the 60s – which left it up to the labels to put together albums of her work after she died ...

Controllers —
For The Love Of My Woman ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1987. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from The Controllers – one issued a bit late to be part of the classic wave of group soul, but a set that's still overflowing with really old school harmonies! The Controllers really have a wonderful way of putting over a ballad – letting things build slow and mellow, ... (Soul) read more CD
Steve Cropper —
Playin My Thang/MCA/BGO (UK), Early 80s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A pair of later albums from Stax Records' guitar genius Steve Cropper! On the cover of Playin My Thang, Steve Cropper's looking a lot more loose and upfront than he ever did on albums he cut with Booker T & The MGs – and maybe that's because he's emerging here as a more more of a lead ... (Soul) read more CD
Deodato —
Whirlwinds/MCA/BGO (UK), 1974. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Two post-CTI gems from Deodato – back to back on a single CD! Whirlwinds is sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded ... (Jazz) read more CD
Dramatics —
10 1/MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The Dramatics hit an 80s groove mood here – and as on their clubbier sides from the end of the 70s, the vocals are still wonderful – and more than anything, the set's a strong soul-based set that still has the group at the top of their game! Ballads actually sparkle the best here ... (Soul) read more CD
Also available 10 1/
Eric B & Rakim —
Follow The Leader (2LP version) ... LP MCA/Universal, 1990. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
No sophomore slump for the second Eric B & Rakim album – benchmark hip hop of the first order and up there with the best of all time!

Roberta Flack —
Bustin Loose – Original Soundtrack ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the more obscure Roberta Flack albums from the classic years – but maybe not as obscure as the movie for which it was created – as the strength of the record has helped the album circulate a lot longer than the film stayed on the screens – to the point where it's a great ... (Soul) read more CD
MCA/Universal (Japan), 1994. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
A harmony group with a great ear for beats – at a level that really makes Front Page one of those acts who were really transforming the sound of older soul styles in the early 90s! Two decades before, these guys would be stepping along in mellow territory of New Jersey soul – but here, ... (Soul) read more CD
Debbie Jacobs —
High On Your Love ... CD MCA/Get Disconnected, 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
An even tighter album than Debbie Jacobs' first for MCA – really wrapped around the strutting club guitar sound of producer Paul Sabu, and filled with tracks that bounce along with a tight little bottom! Debbie's vocals really push the range of the tracks a lot – belting out with the ... (Soul) read more CD
Elton John —
Complete Thom Bell Sessions (180 gram pressing) ... LP MCA/Island, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Philadelphia Freedom from Elton John – a trio of tracks recorded with legendary Philly Soul producer Thom Bell, all with a Sigma Sound vibe that's quite different than most of John's other work at the time!

JJ Johnson/
MCA, 1974. New Copy (pic cover)... $19.99 24.99
Prime selections from one of the greatest soundtracks of the blacksploitation era – served up with some incredible grooves from maestro JJ Johnson!

BB King —
His Best – The Electric BB King ... CD MCA/BGO (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
BB King at his late 60s best – working here in the company of producers Johnny Pate and Quincy Jones, and serving up a great blend of blues and soul in the process! The set's less a "best of", than a collection of ABC work that doesn't seem to be on the other full albums of the ... (Blues) read more CD
MCA/Universal (Japan), 1992. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
You might know the sound of Jacci McGhee's voice from her previous work backing up Keith Sweat – but this set really gives her a great showcase in the spotlight, and presents the sort of fuller exposure that lets the world hear all her talents at their best! A few cuts have a nicely hard ... (Soul) read more CD
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes —
All Things Happen In Time ... CD MCA/Vinyl Masterpiece (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A post-Philly International album from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, but one that still keeps their groove very much intact – thanks to instrumental help from Norman Harris, Ron Baker, Vince Montana, Earl Young, and a host of other Sigma Sound talents! Although recorded in the early ... (Soul) read more CD
Kei Miho & Jazz Eleven —
Kokezaru Suite/MCA/Lawson (Japan), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An incredible blend of jazz and traditional Japanese instrumentation – done in a style that even has some nice funky touches from time to time! The work's a really ambitious one – taking simple musical patterns at its core, but then building them up and jamming over the top as the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Oliver (Oliver Cheatham) —
Boss ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Oliver Cheatham sounds wonderful here – in that best bouncy style that made him a big favorite on the dancefloors in the early 80s – a groove that's still pretty darn great all these years later! The set features key songwriting help from Al Hudson and Kevin McCord, both of whom help ... (Soul) read more CD
One Way —
Love Is ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A totally massive set from One Way – a record that has them sounding even better than ever – drawing on all the strengths of the previous few records, and really knocking it out of the park! Although the group's got a great way with a groove, the mellow cuts here are equally nice ... (Soul) read more CD
One Way —
Shine On Me ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great batch of boogie from One Way – one of the few late 70s funky combos who were especially well suited to make the transition to 80s groove! The sound here is more electric and keyboard-heavy than previous One Way records – but the group's trademark soul-heavy approach to groove ... (Soul) read more CD
One Way —
Who's Foolin Who ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A classic from One Way – who're still going strong in the early 80s! The group's ace in the hole was always the great work of Al Hudson – a fearless leader who kept things funky, and who wrote in some great hooks to tracks that give them uncommon strength. Case in point is the classic ... (Soul) read more CD
One Way —
Wild Night ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A lesser-known album from One Way, but a great one – and in some ways, even fresher and more appealing than some of their more famous work from the time! The set's still got plenty of the great One Way bounce in the mix – but there's also a deeper, more sensitive soul sound going on ... (Soul) read more CD

One Way —
Wrap Your Body (with bonus track) ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1985. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Damn, One Way never lets us down – and although the group cut many albums back in the day, all of them have some great standout moments! The groove here seems even tighter than ever, but never slick or commercial – a very important distinction, given that so many of One Way's ... (Soul) read more CD
Round Trip —
Round Trip ... CD MCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A real stormer from Round Trip – a group whose roots go back to the legendary Sins Of Satan album on Buddah, and who also work here with great production from Al Perkins – in a style that's a bit like his music with One Way! We're not sure if "round trip" was an answer to One ... (Soul) read more CD
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan —
Rags To Rufus ... CD MCA (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
MCA/Universal (Japan), 1981. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
An under-appreciated gem by Rufus – the group's last album before Chaka left to depart on her successful early 80s solo career – and a nice one nonetheless! There's a trace of 80s groove in the mix – especially on the bass and percussion – but these elements are handled ... (Soul) read more CD
(Part of the Disco Fever 40 series!)
MCA/Universal (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
Stunning work from Rufus & Chaka Khan – still very much at the height of their powers on this late 70s release – and still doing things at a level that nobody else can touch! The blend of jazz and soul is completely sublime – given a bit of extra help on arrangements by Clare ... (Soul) read more CD

Roy Rutanen —
Roy Rutanen ... LP MCA/Disques Plusquereel, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of those rare gems that's definitely worth digging for – an obscure set from Australia at the start of the 70s, and one that has a unique vibe that's very much its own! On his own, Roy Rutanen would probably be more of a folk artist – but here, he gets some great backing that ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Sample —
Voices In The Rain (SHMCD pressing) ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Joe Sample's sitting at a grand piano on the cover, and that image is a nice tip-off to the sound within – an approach that has Joe hitting some more sophisticated acoustic passages at points, while still opening up into the soulful groove we'd expect from his legacy as a core member of The ...

MCA/Esoteric (UK), 1972. New Copy 2CD ... $18.99 25.99
Really beautiful work from Stackridge – an early set, and one that's got the group working in more prog-oriented territory overall – yet still with a tightness to the tunes that avoids any side-long jams or solos that overwhelm the vocals and melody! Instrumentation includes bits of ... (Rock) read more CD
Stackridge —
Man In The Bowler Hat (2CD edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD MCA/Esoteric (UK), 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A wonderful showcase for the wide-ranging talents of Stackridge – as the set features key production work from George Martin, who really has a way of expanding the sounds at the core of their music! Although Martin's best known for his famous Beatles work of the 60s, the maestro's touch in ... (Rock) read more CD
Stargard —
Stargard ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The debut album from Stargard – a set that turned the trio into strong soul stars, after a brief and mistaken role in the film Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band! Given the failure of that cinematic endeavor, it's amazing that MCA signed the girls up – but it's also clear that the ... (Soul) read more CD

Steely Dan —
Gaucho ... LP MCA, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The last album in the classic run of Steely Dan – the final taste we'd have of the group until their surprising revival in the 90s! Gaucho picks up beautifully where Aja left off – warmly produced with a deep undercurrent of jazz, but perhaps a bit more down to earth feel at times too ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
