Tear Down These Walls ... LP 
Jive, 1988. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A big one for Billy Ocean – and a set that has the singer sounding even more confident and powerful than ever before!

Channel ORANGE ... CD 
Def Jam, 2012. Used ... $6.99

Ohio Players —
Orgasm – The Very Best Of The Westbound Years ... CD Westbound (UK), Early 70s. Used ... $6.99
It's hard to sum up the genius of the Ohio Players at Westbound Records in words – but this set does a pretty good job of doing the whole thing with music! The group are at their trippy, early best here – much more funk and soul than on their initial psych debut, yet still not as ... (Soul) read more CD
O'Jays —
Back Stabbers ... CD Philadelphia International, 1972. Used ... $4.99
A landmark album for the O'Jays – a set that moved them from the indie ranks to 70s megasoulstatus!

O'Jays —
O'Jays (Bell pressing) ... LP Bell, 1968. Very Good ... $4.99
This is the second version of an album that was first pressed under the title Back On Top – repackaged here with a slicker cover during the early 70s, to cash in on the fame that the O'Jays were having at Phily International.

Olatunji —
Drums Of Passion ... CD Columbia, 1960. Used ... $2.99
A classic session of pounding percussion – quite possibly the most successful entry into this earthy genre that hit the recording scene at the end of the 50s!

One Way —
Wild Night ... CD MCA/Universal (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
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

Originals —
Definitions ... LP SOUL, 1972. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
What a great record! This one seems to be nothing fancy at the outset – mostly covers of soul and pop tunes, done by The Originals in an early 70s harmony soul mode – but the overall quality of the record is incredible, with a mixture of rough and sweet vocals that sends just about ...

Originals —
Game Called Love ... LP Motown, 1974. Very Good ... $4.99
Kind of a confused effort by The Originals – with a mix of styles that has the band running through material that includes some mellow countrified soul, plus sweeter ballads that are more in line with the group's better work. Arrangements are by Stevie Wonder, Paul Riser, James Carmichael, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Best Of Orlons – Cameo Parkway 1961 to 1966 ... CD Cameo/Abkco, Early 60s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Three girls and a guy – and one of the greatest 60s soul groups to ever come out of Philly!

Shuggie Otis —
Inspiration Information ... CD Epic/Luaka Bop, 1974. Used ... $8.99
An insanely wonderful album! Shuggie Otis is the son of Johnny Otis – the LA R&B maestro who was moving heavily into funk at the end of the 60s – and he has this tripped out, super-dope guitar style that he played to strong effect on Johnny's albums of the late 60s and early 70s, ...

Stankonia ... CD LaFace, 2000. Used ... $2.99
Probably the most hyped hip hop album by rock critics of the last decade – but don't hold that against Stankonia, because these ghetto grooves from planet P-Funk were exactly what world needed in 2000!

You may know the Ozark Mountain Daredevils as a crossover AM radio act from the mid 70s – but on this early record, the group have a nicely rootsy vibe that certainly lives up to their name!

Misha Panfilov —
Atlantico (180 gram pressing) ... LP Miraaz (Estonia), 2023. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The music of Misha Panfilov just gets deeper and deeper with each new release – and here, he's light years away from the funk of his earlier sets, and much more in the realm of spiritual jazz! The set's got a vibe that's almost in the Carlos Nino side of the spectrum, but which also ... (Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charlie Parker —
Charlie Parker With Strings – Midnight Jazz At Carnegie Hall ... LP Verve, Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
The genius of Bird and strings is hard to describe – an edgey approach that really goes far past most other "jazz with strings" projects, not a ballad-driven one, but a tensely strained one that brings out some of Parker's best soloing, almost in a moody soundtrack-type way.

Ray Parker Jr & Raydio —
Two Places At The Same Time ... LP Arista, 1980. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Solid funky work from Ray Parker Jr & Raydio – a set that's lean and focused, and still very much in the earlier Raydio groove! Parker's still a bit away from the spotlight at this point – leaving the band to have the strongest role in the record, which is a great thing, given how ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wicked work by pianist Horace Parlan – and one of his most stunning Blue Note sessions ever!

Parliament —
Osmium ... CD Invictus/EMI, 1971. Used ... $9.99
An insane bit of fuzzed-out funk! This is Parliament's rare first album – a trippy batch of tunes that come off of Clinton's experimentation in the Detroit soul scene, infused by the rock-heavy energy of the city at the time, and probably a heck of a lot of cannabis, too!

Band Of Gold ... CD Invictus/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
A landmark album from Freda Payne! Freda had been knocking around a bit as a more jazz-oriented singer, and had cut one album for Impulse and one for MGM before this one – but when she hooked up with the hitmaking Holland-Dozier-Holland team for this record, her career really went over the ...

Duke Pearson —
Wahoo! ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Wahoo is right – as Duke Pearson sets up one of his hippest sessions of the 60s, a lyrical batch of soul jazz tracks, with that slight edge of darkness that he was putting into his best work as the decade progressed!

A unique large group session from Art Pepper – one of his few this way as a leader, despite constant 50s presence as a sideman in big ensembles!

Late live work from Art Pepper – and a set that has him blowing a bit of clarinet, in addition to his usual alto sax!
