A Chahine & Fils/BBE (UK), 1979. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $24.99 28.99
A really fantastic little record – and one that's even better than you might expect from the title – which itself is already pretty darn fantastic! The set is upbeat and funky, but not entirely disco – more this very groovy blend of Mid-East elements and more familiar keyboards ... (Global Grooves, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Herb Alpert, 2017. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $22.99 24.98
A nice little Holiday album from trumpeter Herb Alpert – whose 60s set with the Tijuana Brass might well be one of our favorite Christmas albums of all time! The TJB is long gone, but Herb's still in the lead – working with a larger orchestra directed by Chris Walden – who ... (Holiday Music, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(180 gram pressing – on colored vinyl!)
A&M, 1968. Sealed Gatefold ... $11.99
Beautifully compressed pop from Herb Alpert – a session that's still got the traditional Tijuana Brass style, but which also displays a more restrained, more adult approach to instrumental pop! The rhythms are nicely changed out more than before here – stretching out with interwoven ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed original pressing!)
A&M, 1967. Sealed ... $9.99
Sounds like Herb Alpert, but it grooves in ways that we hardly expected – playful, creative, and filled with so many more rhythms than just the Tijuana groove we might have thought! There's a real deepening sense of instrumental pop going on here – as Herb explores some of the darker ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A very cool hi fi album from the 70s – done with a mixture of big band jazz, a bit funky at times, and fuller strings!

Capitol/Now Again, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $21.99 27.98
One of a handful of amazing albums recorded by David Axelrod towards the end of the 60s – really stunning, genre-breaking music that was years ahead of its time – and which has only finally been getting its due in more recent decades! At the time of the record, Axelrod was a house ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Burt Bacharach —
Reach Out ... LP A&M, 1967. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Fantastic! We love Burt Bacharach in so many ways that it's easy to forget the genius of these early A&M sides – but going back to them is always a treat, and it's wonderful to hear the way that Burt lays down his own work when given the chance! You know the tracks – "House ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing.)
RCA, 1979. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A lost Burt Bacharach treasure – a bit later than classic vintage, but a wonderful album from the mature maestro – and sometimes overlooked, due to its status as a soundtrack! The work here is totally great – that mellow, easy-flowing style that Burt really perfected around the ... (Soundtracks, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Omega/Modern Harmonic, 1958. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $23.99 24.99

Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
Barry conducts versions of his famous soundtrack themes from the 60s – as you'd guess from the title – taking them in different directions than on the original recordings, and coming up with some nice moody readings that show the direction he was heading in the late 60s. There's some ... (Soundtracks, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has light wear.)
United Artists, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
An excellent gimmick – and yet another way that United Artists was trying to push its "Bond" catalog in the 60s! Count Basie brings a soulful swing to the work of John Barry – hitting hard on the tracks with his own smoking piano, and an orchestra filled with some of his best ...

Les Baxter —
Round The World With Les Baxter ... LP Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $8.99
In the years before he hit big with Exotica, Les Baxter had a minor chart instrumental with "The Poor People Of Paris", a dreamy romantic tune that was typical of the lush style he used in his earlier years.

Dunhill, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $33.99
Very cool original pressing of this rare LP cut by studio legend Hal Blaine.

During the time, he also managed to cut a number of LPs – some like the wild classic ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Beautiful US album that features some of Brel's most famous tracks, served up in a lovingly-packaged edition that includes a gatefold cover, and a handsome inner booklet with notes and translations of the songs. The whole thing's a great way to get into Brel's work – and was the record that ... (French, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sandro Brugnolini/Carosello/Schema (Italy), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 32.99
An Italian funk double-header – a sweet little set from the end of the 60s, and one that features killer cuts from both Sandro Brugnolini and Stefano Torossi!

Cook, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A wonderful combination of music and sound effects – very similar to some of the bigger label work from artists like Jack Fascinato or Dean Elliott over at Capitol Records in the late 50s, but an even more sonically-sensitive session done for the smaller Cook imprint! Jimmy Carroll leads an ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, 1963. Very Good ... $1.99
Way more than just the usual snoozer you might expect from Clebanoff – thanks to a good dose of bossa in the mix!

One of the grooviest albums ever by this baroque French arranger! Michel Colombier has cut some pretty great stuff in his time – but this album's probably the greatest, and it swings with a bouncy late 60s French pop sound that recalls some of the hippest work of Serge Gainsbourg, Michel ...

Xavier Cugat Today! ... LP Decca, Late 60s. Very Good ... $7.99
Very groovy stuff from Cugie! It's the late 60s, and he's got more of a pop Latin groove than earlier – and lays down some nice peppy covers of pop material, plus a few other Latin standards. Not exactly Latin soul – but not that far off, either. Includes a great version of "Samb ... (Latin, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Reprise, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
One of the harder to find Sammy records, and one of the best!

One of the best early albums by Ferrante & Teicher!
