Round Robin Monopoly

Alpha
Truth/Craft, 1974. (reissue)
LP...$26.99 29.99 ... On June 28, 2024
A rare funk gem from Stax Records – a strange mix of rock and funk, originally recorded for the label's Gospel Truth subsidiary, which is why it's kind of gotten lost in the cracks over the years! The group's got a very heavy ensemble funk sound – a blend of organ, sax, and percussion ... LP, Vinyl record album
Tamla/Elemental, 1973. (reissue)
LP...$29.99 33.99 ... On June 7, 2024
Fantastic solo work from Smokey Robinson – recorded a few years before his monumental Quiet Storm album, but with a very similar high level of quality! Willie Hutch co-produced the album with Smokey, and working with arrangements by Hutch and Gene Page, they transform Smokey's sound into a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Motown/Elemental, 1970. (reissue)
LP...$26.99 28.99 ... On June 7, 2024
One of the last albums the Four Tops ever issued on Motown – but also one of the best, and a set that really has the group taking off in a strong new direction for the 70s! Frank Wilson's at the production helm, and the set has all these cool little twists and turns that work perfectly with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Cymande

Cymande
Janus/Partisan, 1972. (reissue)
LP...$24.99 27.99 ... On June 7, 2024
The fantastic first album by one of the most unique funk groups of all time! A key part of the crumbling British colonial network that produced some excellent music in the postwar years, Cymande was comprised mostly of West Indians who'd emigrated to England in the 60s, eventually meeting up ... LP, Vinyl record album
Salsoul/BMG (UK), 2LP
LP...$32.99 36.98 ... On June 7, 2024
... LP, Vinyl record album
Sony/Legacy, 2010. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On September 20, 2024
A smoothly soulful set from Sade – with a bit more heartbreak and sometimes a bit heavier moodiness in the compositions – changing up the groove just enough on her first album in 8 years and reminding us how much we miss her in her years between albums! The first couple of tunes on the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Epic/Legacy, 1992. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On September 20, 2024
Sade's last LP from the early 90s before she went into her brief recording and performing hiatus. Like the preceding records, the approach is heavy on the jazz side of things, with a crisp, spare touch on the production and a wonderfully soulful feel to the songwriting. At this point she no ... LP, Vinyl record album
Columbia/Legacy, 2000. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On September 20, 2024
It's been 8 years since Sade's last album, but rest assured, she's still pretty much the same! Her vocals are as lovely as ever – with that indescribable floating quality that always sends us, no matter how many times we've heard her songs on the radio. The production is slightly different ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sade

Promise
Portrait/Legacy, 1985. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On June 21, 2024
Sade's second album, and while it's not totally sublime as the first, it's still a damn great set with a smooth jazzy vibe that will have you coming back again and again! Includes the lovely "The Sweetest Taboo", plus "Is It A Crime", "War Of The Hearts", "Mr ... LP, Vinyl record album
Portrait/Legacy, 1985. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On June 21, 2024
A damn great soul album! Sure, the record was a crossover classic that got played to death back in the 80s – but give it a listen now, and you'll be stunned to hear how fresh it sounds, and how much it reminds you of all the British soul acts that sprung up in the years after it was released. ... LP, Vinyl record album
Epic/Legacy, 1988. (reissue)
LP...$33.99 34.99 ... On June 21, 2024
Another nice one from Sade – perhaps not as edgey as some of her earlier work, recorded in a slightly smoother style, but still quite nice to our ears – as Sade's always been a pleasure, no matter what the setting! Includes the nicely grooving "Nothing Can Come Between Us", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ballads

Gift Of Love
Venture/P-Vine (Japan), Late 1960s. (reissue)
LP...$29.99 38.99 ... About September 18, 2024
West coast harmony soul genius – a full early album of work by The Ballads – a sweet soul group who really live up to their name!

Out-Sider (Italy), 1977.
LP...$24.99 28.99 ... About April 1, 2024 (delayed)
George Clinton and the P-Funk army in all their 70s glory – presented here in a live performance that was originally done for radio in Detroit! There's not much in the way of notes or personnel listed for the set, but there's definitely some long jamming passages on the set, which are likely ... LP, Vinyl record album
Janus/Partisan, 1974. (reissue)
LP...$27.99 29.99 ... On May 17, 2024
Cymande hit some well-deserved heights on this massive third album – working with a complicated groove that's even more compelling than their earlier albums – in a righteous blend of heavy bass and tripped-out guitars that's unlike anything else we've ever heard! The music's a unique ... LP, Vinyl record album

Temptations

Wish It Would Rain
Gordy/Elemental, 1968. (reissue)
LP...$24.99 29.99 ... On May 10, 2024
A pivotal moment for The Temptations – a set that has the group hitting even more of a deep soul sound than before – at a level that really sets them apart from some of the other groups on Motown at the time! There's a richer, fuller sound going on here – as the group work with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Harmony soul heaven – and the only full album from The Montclairs! The group were a sublime vocal group from the 70s – one with a sound to rival The Whatnauts or The Moments, but which also had a bit more of the super-dope touches you'd expect from their look on the cover of the record ... LP, Vinyl record album

Cosmic Funk (clear vinyl pressing)
Flying Dutchman/Real Gone, 1974. (reissue)
LP...$25.99 27.99 (CD...$8.99)... On May 3, 2024
A real gem from Lonnie Liston Smith's early years in the studio – and a record that's perhaps a bit more "cosmic" than it is "funk" – but that's why we like it so much! The session has Lonnie stretching out a bit more than usual – borrowing some of the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Elaine Brown with Horace Tapscott

Seize The Time (purple vinyl pressing)
Vault/Real Gone, 1969. (reissue)
LP...$34.99 36.99 ... On May 3, 2024
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! Elaine Brown's less of a soul singer than a powerful speaker who delivers the lyrics ... LP, Vinyl record album
Fantasy/Cleopatra, 1975. (reissue)
LP...$25.99 27.99 ... On May 3, 2024
An overlooked album of funky guitar! Arthur Adams was one of the many excellent west coast session players of the early 70s – and if you check the notes on some of your favorite California soul albums, you'll find that you've probably heard his guitar an awful lot over the years! As with ... LP, Vinyl record album

LP...$27.99 29.99 ... On May 10, 2024
The second smoking Live Oblivion set from Brian Auger and crew – twice as long, and maybe even twice as funky as the first!

Brian Auger's Oblivion Express

Live Oblivion Vol 1
RCA/Soul Bank (UK), 1974.
LP...$22.99 23.99 ... On May 10, 2024
Really hard-jamming work from keyboardist Brian Auger – the first of a 2-part live set from the US, and easily some of his greatest work on record! The tracks are all very long and stretched out here – an extrapolation of the territory Auger was already exploring on studio sides, taken ... LP, Vinyl record album

ABC/Elemental, 1971. 2LP (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99 ... On May 10, 2024
BB King live in Japan – really cooking here on a concert performance that's quite different from his other live records of the time!

The last album ever recorded by funky drummer Roy Porter – and a really unique set that seeks to combine his older grooves from the 70s with contemporary elements from the 90s hip hop scene!

The classic first LP by this stellar Chicago harmony group – and a monster!
