A stone pop soul winner from DeBarge – the kind of record that made the group a heck of a lot of money back in the 80s, and which sounds surprisingly great to our ears today!

(Deep groove Verve Inc pressing. Cover has a bit of tape on the top seam, but the rest is nice.)
A real lost treasure – and an incredible session that offers a real meeting of minds that's far more than you'd expect from the simple cover and title!

A really rare quartet date, on a par with Buddy's work for Verve and MGM – with Kenny Drew on piano, Eugene Wright on bass, and Art Blakey on drums! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Vinyl is nice and clean – and cover is nice too!)
A great one from Buddy DeFranco – exactly the kind of record that will make you understand why jazz collectors have always prized his Verve Records work so much! Although Buddy's given instrument, the clarinet, was one that was handled by so many others at the time in kind of an outmoded way ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The album may be laidback, but it's hardly mellow at all – thanks to the presence of Sonny Clark on piano!

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!
