Parisian Thoroughfare (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Brunswick/Sam Records (France), 1958. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The second volume of work that Donald Byrd recorded live at the Olympia in Paris in 1958 – even harder-hitting in tone than the first! The set features Byrd playing some tight hardbop lines – working in a cool group that also features Bobby Jaspar on tenor, Walter Davis Jr on piano, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Airport 1975 ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
Swirling strings galore – but served up with just the right mix of sex and drama to fit the spirit of this second Airport film! The music is a lot more complex than the first time around – and sometimes has these spare dramatic moments that echo European thrillers of the period, mixed ... (Soundtracks) read more CD

Universal/Lawson (Japan), 1996. New Copy ... $24.99 48.99
A sweetly soulful soundtrack from Cagnet – music for the extremely popular Long Vacation series in the 90s, done in that Japanese style from the time that was very heavy on influences from American soul!

Long Vacation ... LP Universal/Lawson (Japan), 1996. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A well-done batch of music for the initial season of Japanese TV show Long Vacation – served up with a sense of variety and depth that's a great change from American television music for a program of this nature! Cagnet put the whole thing together, but they've got a good sense of variety ... (Japanese) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chocolate City/Universal (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
The cover's a bit creepy, but the album's still plenty great – old school Cameo still strongly in a funk-based mode, before some of the stiffer grooves of their later years! Bass is the ruler of the set – and most tracks here vamp around in a very heavy P-Funk style of groove – ... (Soul) read more CD
(Part of the Disco Fever 40 series!)

Ugly Ego ... CD Chocolate City/Universal (UK), 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite albums ever from Cameo – the group's third release! The album's got a great approach that hints at more sophisticated soul styles, but which is still firmly in charge of the bass-driven grooves that made their early albums so great – a compressed approach to the ...

If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (with bonus tracks) ... CD Decca/Universal (UK), 1970. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A stunner of a set from Caravan – and a record that we'd stand right next to some of the bigger albums of the early 70s prog generation in the UK! The instrumentation is fantastic –schooled in an earlier mod era, but turned towards more ambitious ends – yet still with a sense of ... (Rock) read more CD
Caravan —
In The Land Of Grey & Pink (with bonus tracks) ... CD Deram/Universal (UK), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Maybe the greatest moment ever from Caravan – one of the greatest groups to emerge from the jazzy Canterbury scene in the late 60s! The album's a wonderful blend of jazz roots and more focused rock impulses – and has some subtle funky elements that's given it a wider sort of audience ... (Rock) read more CD

Old Fashioned Christmas ... CD A&M/Universal (Japan), 1984. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A slightly bittersweet Christmas album from The Carpenters – given that the set was issued after the too-early death of the lovely Karen Carpenter, and stands as both a Holiday record and a farewell to the charms of this legendary pop duo! The music is a nicely evolved version of their ... read more CD
