Brand New U ... LP Legere (France), 2018. New Copy ... $18.99
A funky instrumental combo, but one who are maybe a bit more freewheeling than some of their contemporaries – both in their sense of style, and historical range of a groove!

F Spot, 2018. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
These guys might just be a trio – with Hammond organ, guitar, and drums – but like the best lineups of their sort in the 60s, they already know how to do a heck of a lot with a little – and maybe even use the freedom of their lean lineup to be even more creative from a rhythmic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Yet the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Linear Labs, 2018. New Copy ... $18.99 20.98
The lovely ladies of the Voices Of Gemma have been booted off this version of their project with Adrian Younge – as the set's all instrumental, and instead focuses on those wonderful beats and baroque sounds that make the core project so great!

Linear Labs, 2016. Near Mint- ... $13.99
