JSensuous Woman ... LP
Atlantic, 1971. Very Good ... $4.99
As the liner notes say: "Everything a woman needs to know to love and be loved by a man...The importance of his orgasm, the etiquette of orgies, what goes on in a man's head sexually - and much, much more." How could we top that? The album that inspired Rudy Ray Moore's Sensuous Black ... (Now Sound, Spoken Word) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Beth AndersonI Can't Stand It ... LP
Finders Keepers (UK), Early 1980s. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
A really fascinating mix of modes from DIY artist Beth Anderson – music that's partly poetry, partly word play – sometimes with the drum machine bits you'd expect from hip hop, but often with more of the arty vibe that echoes with Beth's presence on the downtown scene in New York at the ...

Vault/Real Gone, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 36.99
A righteous treasure from the end of the 60s – an album of vocal tracks recorded by the Minister Of Information for the Black Panther Party, set to backings from the legendary jazz visionary Horace Tapscott!

Black Forum/Motown, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.99

Les CraneDesiderata ... LP
Warner, 1971. Sealed ... $9.99
Sure, Desiderata was one of the biggest spiritual scams of the early 70s – but there's a monster cut on here called "Courage" that is totally funky! It's got some excellent drums, and an eerie voiceover monologue in a very David Axelrod style! LP, Vinyl record album

Wild work from Lord Buckley – a really unusual figure on the west coast scene in the late 50s – kind of a beat comic, but one with a vibe that was all his own – and this way with language and odd spirit that was years ahead of the flower children!
