Allen Toussaint —
Motion ... LP Warner, 1978. Near Mint- ...
$14.99
A bit of a change for Allen Toussaint – the kind of an album that makes good use of all the connections he was making during the early 70s, when he was becoming the darling of the Warner Brothers scene in LA. Overall, Allen's getting pretty smooth by this point – so smooth that even ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$11.9916.99
Ed Townsend's best known as a famous songwriter and producer – whose work through the 60s and 70s made him more than a bit of green – but this early album has Ed trying his pipes as a male vocal lead, singing in a style that's smooth and mellow, a bit in the vein of Jesse Belvin, and ...

A huge album from Traffic – a set that was first given to the world in a strange-shaped cover – which seemed to grace countless record collections back in the 70s! The group is expanded to a sextet here – with bass from Rick Grech and percussion from Rebop Kwaku Baah – both ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cut corner version, still sealed! Back has a barcode, and this is likely the 80s US pressing on Warner – 7 90026 1.)
The second album from Traffic, and a set that forever cemented their legacy in the annals of modern music – a set that has Dave Mason returning to the group after a brief hiatus, and maybe helping the quartet find a tighter, rootsier sound overall! The approach here is nicely mixed – ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The third album from The Tubes – weird, fun and satrical sets that sounds to us like they were recorded a good decade later than that!
