Atlantic Starr —
Atlantic Starr (with bonus track) ... CD A&M/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The first album by Atlantic Starr – a tight set of modern soul tunes with a very different feel than their later work! Part of the credit goes to Bobby Eli – who arranged and produced the set, giving it a feel that's almost late Philly – tight, sophisticated, and right on the ... (Soul) read more CD
Roy Ayers —
Feeling Good ... CD Polydor/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Stellar sounds from the great Roy Ayers – an early 80s album for Polydor, but a set that's still got the wonderfully tight, wonderfully groovy feel of his late 70s albums for the label! Roy's really perfected his sense of balance by this time – and does a great job of balancing ... (Soul) read more CD
Roy Ayers —
Love Fantasy ... CD Polydor/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite Roy Ayers albums of all time – and an overlooked gem from Roy's late 70s years at Polydor! This set's a bit more laidback and less clubby than some other Ayers work of the period – which means it's got this wonderful jazzy groove throughout – a sweet mix of ... (Soul) read more CD

Peabo Bryson —

Commodores —
Heroes ... CD Motown/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The Commodores tenth album – as you might guess from the big X on the cover – and a set that features some of the last great moments of Lionel Richie with the group! The album's a bit overlooked, but has a really great groove – kind of a middle ground between The Commodores' ... (Soul) read more CD
Also available Heroes ... LP 2.99
Con Funk Shun —
Loveshine ... CD Mercury/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Funky genius from Con Funk Shun – working here under the production helm of Skip Scarborough, who seems to give them an even sharper edge than usual!

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
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

New Affair ... CD Columbia/PTG (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
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
Herbie Hancock —
Lite Me Up (with bonus track) ... CD CBS/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A classic album of all-out soul from Herbie Hancock – done in close collaboration with Rod Temperton of Heatwave – in a jazzy-styled version of that group's own great groove!

Heaven & Earth —
Heaven & Earth ... CD Mercury/PTG (UK), 1978. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Excellent work from this smooth Chicago vocal group! The album may well be the best the group ever recorded – and it features some stellar ballad work produced with a nice spacey tone, almost in a Rose Royce mellow mode – by Jerry Butler's Fountain Productions team and by Clarence ...

Al Hudson & The Soul Partners —
Happy Feet (with bonus track) ... CD ABC/PTG (Netherlands), 1979. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Joyous, bouncy sounds from the legendary Al Hudson – a sweet little set with his Soul Partners group, done in a mode that's right up there with the best music of his One Way combo!

Love Committee —
Love Committee (with bonus tracks) ... CD T-Electric/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A nicely grooving soul album from Love Committee – who are probably best known for their earlier disco songs, but we really dig this 1980 self-titled album for the mellower numbers – the best of which have a smooth midtempo groove that's as tasty as ever! A few of the numbers were co-wr ... (Soul) read more CD
Main Attraction —
All The Way ... CD RCA/PTG (Netherlands), 1986. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A pretty sweet soul group from the mid 80s scene – one that's been a bit overlooked over the years, but who have a sound that's right up there with the best of their big name contemporaries!

O'Bryan —
Be My Lover ... CD Capitol/PTG (Netherlands), 1984. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
O'Bryan's virtually a one man show here – handling vocals, keyboards, arrangements, and other instrumental bits too – but he also gets some great help on the album's lean arrangements, with just the right sort of funky touches on guitar, bass, and drums! The set starts out with a ... (Soul) read more CD
O'Bryan —
Doin' Alright ... CD Capitol/PTG (Netherlands), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Smooth and sophisticated 80s soul from O'Bryan – his first Capitol album! Doin' Alight is a great mix of smoothed out modern soul, bits of funk and classic soul touches. Most of it is co-produced with Don Cornelius, of Soul Train fame, who helped O'Bryan get his start. A good bit of the ... (Soul) read more CD
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!

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 —
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!

Ozone —
Glasses ... CD Motown/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A bit of a change from previous Ozone albums – a set that still has plenty of bass at the bottom, but also a fair bit of keyboards as well – stretching out nicely over the top, almost with a bit of an electro pop feel at points! The keys really make for a catchy sort of edge – ... (Soul) read more CD

Rainbow Team, where have you been all our lives? You're a heck of a great little group – and we love the sound you've got on this second album!

Reddings —
Awakening ... CD Believe In A Dream/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great dawn of the 80s set from The Reddings! It's steeped in bouncing bass, snapping rhythms, and plenty of full on groovers from the Reddings trio – a set that has their vocals tightly wrapped around rhythms that are heavy on the boogie and mainstream funk modes of the time! Bass is ... (Soul) read more CD

You & Me ... CD A&M/PTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Great work from the wonderful Rockie Robbins – a smooth soul singer who cut some great sides at the start of the 80s, but who hardly ever gets his due!

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
Silk —
Midnight Dancer (with bonus track) ... CD Philadelphia International/PTG (Netherlands), 1979. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A killer soul album from Philly – and one that often gets overlooked! The group's a smooth harmony combo with a nice modern finish – perfectly showing the mode that Philly was hitting after the disco years, one that would show that Gamble & Huff still had their ears open to new and ... (Soul) read more CD
Starpoint —
All Night Long ... CD PTG (France), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Starpoint's getting a bit loose and free with their fashions on the cover of this one – but the grooves themselves are tighter than ever!

Starpoint —
Keep On It ... CD Chocolate City/PTG (France), 1981. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Excellent work from Starpoint – the kind of all-solid album that easily marks them as one of the most soulful groups of the boogie generation! There's a depth here that goes way beyond simple bass-heavy grooves for the dancefloor – a sound that picks a fair bit up from the Earth Wind ... (Soul) read more CD
Superior Movement —
Key To Your Heart ... CD CBS/PTG (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Sublime soul from Superior Movement – an overlooked Chicago group of the 80s, but one that's every bit as wonderful as any of the bigger acts we can think of from the time! The group definitely put harmonies first in their music – and although the album's a bigger-label effort, the ... (Soul) read more CD
Switch —
Switch II ... CD Motown/PTG (Netherlands), 1979. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Quite possibly the best album ever from Ohio funky soul combo Switch – and certainly proof that the hope of Motown in the 80s was in ensemble group funk! This second album holds up really well, and thanks to some sweet production by Bobby DeBarge and Jermaine Jackson, the record's got a warm ... (Soul) read more CD
T Connection —
Take It To The Limit ... CD Capitol/PTG (Netherlands), 1984. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A sweet lean set from T-Connection – still every bit as funky as back in their late 70s years, but with a different sort of style for the new generation! The music's got that great 80s groove approach that Capitol Records excelled at during the time – and the group's a bit more ... (Soul) read more CD
Gary Taylor —
GT ... CD A&M/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The early 80s debut from singer, songwriter Gary Taylor – also playing Rhodes, piano and synth on this set – filled with nicely grooving 80s soul! The songs are solid, and though he'd go on to write songs for a number of soul and R&B stars, he lets these numbers build slowly into ... (Soul) read more CD
Tease —
Remember ... CD Epic/PTG (Netherlands), 1988. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the best albums in a big 80s run from Tease – thanks to great production from Mtume!

Temptations —
Truly For You ... CD Gordy/PTG (Netherlands), 1984. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great 80s set from The Temptations – one of the few Motown acts who managed to deliver great work again and again over the years!

Capitol/PTG (Netherlands), 1984. New Copy ... $7.99 19.99
Lillo Thomas has a mighty nice vocal style here – one that's a bit high in the spectrum, and which works perfectly with the sweet keyboards in the grooves! Thomas takes the lyrics right up to the top of the mix – and floats them way high above the basslines, but still in a way that ... (Soul) read more CD
Lillo Thomas —
Let Me Be Yours ... CD Capitol/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A real 80s groover from Lillo Thomas – plenty of keyboards, snapping rhythms, and a sweetly gliding rhythm that beautifully supports Thomas' high-pitched vocals! The style owes a fair bit to territory first hit by Michael Jackson at the end of the 70s, but it still sounds surprisingly great ... (Soul) read more CD

PTG (Netherlands), Early 80s. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99

Boogie, electro, and 80s groove – all sorted out nicely in this killer collection of ultra-rare cuts!
