You've Got To Keep On Moving
Konduko/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024
The second US album by the team of Phillip & Lloyd – much more in the Miami soul mode than their first record, cut for the Konduko subsidiary of TK with a feel that's almost Caribbean disco! The style's still got some traces of the duo's reggae roots, but the production's also more ... CD
Glades/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980.
CD...$18.99 24.99 ... About March 20, 2024
Sweet late 70s grooves from Latimore – a bit less bluesy than at the start of the decade, but in a mighty nice way! The set's got loads of warm undercurrents – and shows Latimore pushing his southern soul roots into a modern soul mode – with surprisingly great results – a ... CD
Glades/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024
Latimore's digging deeper, and sounding greater than ever – working at Muscle Shoals with some great Miami production from Steve Alaimo – and coming across with a sound that's even warmer and more sophisticated than before – yet still very true to its deep soul roots too! At a ... CD
Glades/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024
Little Milton's always been as much of a soul singer as a bluesman – and this overlooked gem from the 70s has him hitting equally well on both fronts! The set's a great precursor to Milton's 80s revival on Malaco – but has the singer working in Chicago, with these deep soul ... CD

Little Milton

Friend Of Mine
Glades/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024
Tight and soulful blues from Little Milton – just the sort of record that helped him cross over to bigger audiences back in the day, and a set that still sounds plenty great all these many years later! The set was done in Chicago – arranged by James Mack, with backing vocals from Kitty ... CD

Lew Kirton

Just Arrived
Alston/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024
Great work from this oft-overlooked smooth soul singer! Lew Kirton was part of the Miami soul scene that centered around TK Records in Florida – but he has a smooth sexy style that reminds us a lot more of northern modern soul singers – especially the most sophisticated side of the New ... CD

Joey Gilmore

Joey Gilmore
Blue Candle/Ultra Vybe (Japan), Late 70s.
CD...$18.99 23.99 ... About March 20, 2024

LP...$33.99 35.99 ... On March 22, 2024
Stunning work from the great second chapter of Patrice Rushen – the time when the lady moved over to Elektra Records and really opened up her groove! Rushen had already been making great music for most of the 70s – playing fantastic keyboards as a real up-and-coming star on the funky ... LP, Vinyl record album

A hard one to find by Candi – and a classic batch of tracks produced by Muscle Shoals legend Rick Hall – probably the best producer ever to work with Candi's voice! The style's a bit smoother than on some of Candi's first few recordings – but still very much in a deep soul mode, ... CD

Going To My Baby's Place
Grenade/P-Vine (Japan), 1975. (reissue)
LP...$29.99 38.99 (CD...$18.99)... About April 3, 2024
Some of the funkiest work we've ever heard from Vernon Garrett – recorded in California, but with a nicely gritty southern soul sound! The tunes have some of the bluesy inflections of Vernon's more famous work – but they also come across with a groove that's tighter, especially on the ... LP, Vinyl record album

LP...$25.99 29.99 ... About April 5, 2024

LP...$29.99 38.99 (CD...$17.99)... About April 15, 2024
Wonderfully groovy soul from The Entertainers – a group who's recording here strongly for the beach music scene in the Carolinas, but who have an appeal that's much more universal! The tunes are mostly in an upbeat, midtempo mode – with a gentle bounce and a nice sort of step in the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Mid 70s Afro Funk from the great Manu Dibango – adding in a bit more of a full production sound than on his earlier albums, but still sounding pretty darn nice!

Invictus/Demon (UK), 1971. 2LP (reissue)
LP ... On April 20, 2024
An insane bit of fuzzed-out funk! This is Parliament's rare first album – a trippy batch of tunes that come off of Clinton's experimentation in the Detroit soul scene, infused by the rock-heavy energy of the city at the time, and probably a heck of a lot of cannabis, too! The record is ... LP, Vinyl record album
Source/Demon (UK), 1979. (reissue)

Very cool electric funk album with a nice, spacey, jazzy vibe. Travis Biggs plays electric harp (and we don't mean harmonica!), and the sound is very breezy and cool.

Harmony soul heaven – and the only full album from The Montclairs!

The classic first LP by this stellar Chicago harmony group – and a monster! Heaven & Earth had a wonderful falsetto harmony sound that reminds us a lot of east coast winners like Blue Magic or The Stylistics – and like some of the best east coast groups, this group's vocals work ...

Sidewinders

Flatfoot Hustlin
Great Eastern/P-Vine (Japan), 1977. (reissue)
LP...$29.99 39.99 ... About July 3, 2024
Rare Canadian funk from the 70s – played by a hip little group who've also got a jazzy flavor too! The Sidewinders are a bit like American ensemble funk acts of the time – in that they can have an upbeat, tight approach to the groove when they want – but they also have a great ...

Charly (UK), 1978. 2LP
LP...$43.99 49.99 ... About March 1, 2024 (delayed)
An instant classic the day it was released – and a perfect blending of the group's older freaked-out style with a slick late 70s funk sound that started showing up in the work of many other groups. "One Nation Under A Groove" is a monster cut with a hook that won't quit, and the LP ... LP, Vinyl record album

A huge musical treasure – a full unreleased album by Weldon Irvine, plus a bonus video as well! The music is from the stage play Young Gifted & Broke – a short-lived production by Weldon, and one that's done with some of the same hip modes he was bringing to his own music of the ... CD

Inner City Review
Inner City/ARC (UK), Early 70s.
LP...$34.99 38.99 ... About February 15, 2024 (delayed)
Rare west coast funk, soul, and funky soul – all from the vaults of George Semper – an artist that most folks know from a classic organ jazz record in the 60s, but also a backroom figure behind a range of great soul records on the Cali scene of the 70s! This set is a rare collection of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Natural Four

Good Vibes
ABC/Wax Trader (Canada), Late 60s. (reissue)
LP...$17.99 19.99 ... About February 1, 2024 (delayed)
A rare harmony soul treasure – an obscure pre-Curtom album cut by the Natural Four – done years before their Chicago classics, and recorded in Berkeley with a very different groove! The harmonies here are still as sublime as the group's 70s work – but the approach is a bit more ... LP, Vinyl record album

Soulciety/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1993.
CD ... About December 6, 2023 (delayed)
An overlooked gem from the years when most of the rest of the world had forgotten about the JBs – but Fred Wesley and the group were still going strong! The set's a great meeting of two funky generations – the classic James Brown funk of the late 60s and early 70s, and some of the ... CD
Malaco/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1982.
CD ... About December 6, 2023 (delayed)
An overlooked gem from the early 80s Malaco catalog – a set that's got more of a mid 70s funky soul feel overall, with just the right mix of upbeat cuts and ballads! These guys can actually harmonize wonderfully on the mellow numbers – with a compelling approach that's right up there ... CD

King Hannibal

Truth
Aware/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1973.
CD ... About December 6, 2023 (delayed)
Mad funky soul from King Hannibal – a down and dirty singer from the Atlanta scene of the 70s! The notes on the back say "He's black, he's proud, he's arrogant – the combination is powerful" – and we've gotta say that we agree with that assessment, because King really ... CD

Benny & Us (with bonus tracks)
Atlantic/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977.
CD ... About December 6, 2023 (delayed)
Ben E King joins the Average White Band for this sweet 70s set – a killer record that not only stands as one of King's best efforts of the decade, but one that also gives the group a great new frontman! Ben's not the only singer on the record, but his presence here can definitely be felt ... CD

Average White Band

Shine (with bonus tracks)
Arista/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980.
CD ... About December 6, 2023 (delayed)
Great later grooves from Average White Band – a real gem from the point when the group was settling nicely into a mellow soul vein! By this point, the combo wisely realized that they couldn't keep things going forever as a funky group – so they laid back and fell into their second ... CD
RSO/Elemental (Spain), 1974. (reissue)
LP ... About December 1, 2023 (delayed)
Electric 70s work from Freddie – not exactly funky, but with a nice chunky bottom that makes the record stand out a bit from the pack of blues work at the time. Titles include "Sugar Sweet", "She's A Burglar", "Pulp Wood", "My Credit Didn't Go Through" ... LP, Vinyl record album
