Posh
LP (Item 17454) Elektra, 1980 — Condition: Near Mint-
Related searches
Nothing posh about this one – as the album's an all-out, all-access affair – a great way for anyone to get into the grooves of the mighty Patrice Rushen! Patrice is at the height of her powers here – equally magic on keyboards and vocals, and coming up with groove after groove in a sublime blend of 70s jazz funk and Minnie Riperton-esque soul! The whole album's a winner – real magic that never gets old, and the kind of LP that makes you understand why you'll find Patrice's records in just about any soul collection from the time! Tracks include "I Need Your Love", "Time Will Tell", "The Dream", "Never Gonna Give You Up", and "Don't Blame Me". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Near Mint - (minus)
- Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
- Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
- One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
- May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
- May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
- Possible minor surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Patrice Rushen
Watch Out!Arista, 1987. Very Good+
Patrice Rushen in a crisp 80s soul mode! Watch Out finds Patrice really cutting down the keyboards in favor of stronger vocals right out front – breaking all the rules, as the title of second song tells it – and it works really well! Most of the arrangements, synth and drum ... LP, Vinyl record album
Shirley Murdock
Shirley MurdockElektra, 1985. Very Good+
The breakout album from Shirley Murdock – a singer who first rose to fame working with Roger Troutman and Zapp – and who gets plenty of help here from that side of the soul spectrum too! Roger produced and plays on the record, and also wrote most of the songs too – and Larry ... LP, Vinyl record album
Teddy Pendergrass
Love LanguageElektra/Asylum, 1984. Very Good
Not a bad little album from Teddy, although not nearly as sublime as his earlier work for Philly International. The record has Pendergrass working with arranger Michael Masser, who also wrote most of the songs on the set (save for one by Luther Vandross) – and the overall feel is pretty ... LP, Vinyl record album
Dennis Coffey
Electric CoffeySussex, 1972. Very Good+
Mad funk from Dennis Coffey – and the follow-up to his landmark Evolution album! It's interesting to note that Coffey's group is listed as the "Detroit Guitar Band" – which kind of foregrounds their link between the city's two strongest music sides of the late 60s: the hard ... LP, Vinyl record album
Johnnie Taylor
Disco 9000Columbia, 1977. Very Good+
Disco 9000 is Johnnie Taylor's 3rd release for Columbia – a great batch of smooth soul tracks with a lot less of the "disco" that you'd expect from the title! Johnnie produced the session himself – and the album was recorded as a soundtrack (to a film that was later retitled ... LP, Vinyl record album
Roberta Flack
First TakeAtlantic, 1969. Very Good+
Maybe one of the most amazing debut records of all time – not only the record that first exposed the world to Roberta Flack, but a set that heralded so many changes to come in the following decade! Flack's genius here is almost impossible to put into words – part jazz, part soul, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Wolfman Jack
Wolfman JackWooden Nickel, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold
A pretty silly little album, cut by border radio DJ Wolfman Jack, with funky soul and rock backing from southern California! Wolfman talks his way through most cuts – even when he's doing a cover of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" – but the instrumentation is pretty nice on ... LP, Vinyl record album
Roberta Flack
Quiet FireAtlantic, 1971. Very Good+
Great small combo work by Roberta Flack, recorded early in her career, when she was still one of the hippest things around – and it's among her best records! Roberta's really come into her own as vocalist at this point and solidifying here personal style – with that clear tone and ... LP, Vinyl record album
High Inergy
Turnin OnGordy, 1977. Very Good+
Maybe the best album ever from this late 70s Motown group – a set that's got the girls really stepping out with a nice degree of power – in a groove that's different than the usual female disco mode of the time! The record's got a much more fully-formed sort of feel – not just a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Motown Extra SpecialMotown/EMI (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+
A UK-only Motown set, filled with hits from Jackson 5, Temptations, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Jr Walker & The All Stars, and the Supremes and Four Tops together! LP, Vinyl record album

Soulin' Vol 2Moonshine (Netherlands), Late 60s/Early 70s. Near Mint-
Volume 2 of this mid 80s compilation series that predated the whole funky/soul compilation craze by a number of years – a great collection of older 60s singles that were done in the years before there was any sort of a deep funk scene, and back when sets like this were really hard to come by! ... LP, Vinyl record album
Horace Silver
Stylings Of SilverBlue Note, 1957. Very Good+
A great Horace Silver album – and one of the rarest! The record features some top-line material that virtually defines Silver's post-Jazz Messengers sound – tracks that come out with a hard and heavy groove, yet which also have a lightness in the mix too – a sense of play and ...
