King/Verve, 1970. Used ... $12.99
A different James Brown album – but a nice one!

King/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $19.99 24.99
Great work from Ann Burton – an excellent jazz singer who made some great records in the 60s and 70s, although mostly overseas – so she's a lot less known on our shores than elsewhere! This is a really spare session, one that lets Ann's vocals come through wonderfully – as she's ... read more CD
Muzak (Japan), Late 60s/1970s/1980s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
