Mavuthela/Jazz Room (UK), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
A brilliant set of funk from the South African scene – a record that's very different than some of the other SA jazz of the time, and which maybe has both a bit of influence from The Meters, and some of the organ-driven instrumental work of the Jamaican scene from a few years before! The ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Duke, Early 50s. Very Good- ... $19.99
The only full album from Johnny Ace – a key figure in the Memphis scene of the 50s, and one of the first great casualties of rock and roll!

Barbara Acklin's first album – and a landmark of Chicago soul that firmly established Acklin as one of the city's best writers and new female singers!

(Vinyl has light marks, but sounds better than it looks. Cover has a split top seam and spine, and some light staining.)
GSF, 1972. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A pretty cool album of soul tracks, based around a political/historical theme – in a manner that reminds us a lot of Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth, by 24-Carat Black, or The Auction, by David Axelrod. The work's an extended suite dealing with the legacy of slavery and persecution in African-Ame ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mercury, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $48.99
An obscure Afro Funk combo from the early 70s – produced by Ronnie Lane of The Faces, who may very well have been inspired by Ginger Baker's love of the style!

Akon's got a look on the cover that resonates with a certain side of the American hip hop aesthetic from the early part of the century – but his vocal style is very different than most, and has this cresting sweetness that really works to create a great sense of tension with the material in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A funky treasure trove from Apple & The Three Oranges – a group we hardly know at all, but who really blow us away with the cuts on this collection!

Warner, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
An overdue reunion for Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll (now billed as Tippetts) – and a late 70s session that sounds quite a bit different than their mod soul of the 60s!

AWB's first for Atlantic – and a nice slice of funk that proves that they can mix it up with the best groups of the 70s!

Polydor, 1976. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
One of Roy Ayers' biggest albums ever – and also one of his deepest, too!

Out of the wreckage of Cream came some very hip grooves! Ginger Baker was the hippest of the group's 3 members – and although he's often credited by soul fans for his work with Fela, he should also get hats off for his work with the group Air Force.
