Organ Favorites

LP (Item 189681) Craftsmen, Late 1950s — Condition: Very Good
Steve Philips may not be the most exciting organ player in the world – but the album's got a very young Mary Tyler Moore posing on the cover, which is pretty darn cool!  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or 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, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

Whipped Cream & Other Delights
A&M, 1965. Very Good+
Trumpety magic from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – a record that's known not only for its classic cover of a model dipped in whipped cream, but also for it's tremendously groovy groove! The Tijuana sound is very firmly in place by the time of this set – Mexican-inspired, but ... LP, Vinyl record album

Pat Williams

Shades Of Today
Verve, Late 60s. Very Good-
Groovy pop orchestrations from one of the best bandleaders working at Verve in the late 60's. Sweet Verve sounds, with a mix of jazz, easy, and Brazilian sounds, and tracks like "Laia Ladaia", "Cinnamon & Clove", "The Look of Love", "Arrasto", and "B ... LP, Vinyl record album

(Mono pressing with deep groove. Cover has some blemishes at the top left corner.) LP, Vinyl record album

Les Baxter

Thinking Of You
Capitol, 1954. Very Good+
Pop-oriented stuff by Les, and very very mellow. The album is filled with lush romantic tracks, and is very different than his later exotica stuff. Titles are mostly standards, done in a fairly soporific way. Includes "Little White Lies", "Speak Low", "Thinking Of ... LP, Vinyl record album

John Williams/Boston Pops

Aisle Seat – Great Film Music
Philips (Netherlands), 1982. Near Mint-
Includes themes from ET, Chariots Of Fire, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Gone With The Wind, Wizard Of Oz, and more. LP, Vinyl record album

George Martin

London By George
United Artists, 1968. Near Mint-
One of the few instrumental albums ever recorded by George Martin – best known as the producer for The Beatles during the 60s, but a fab talent on his own! The format's what you'd guess from the title – a set of Brit Invasion tunes, all redone by Martin in groovy instrumental easy ... LP, Vinyl record album
Westminster, 1956. Very Good+
Incredible! Ferrante & Teicher play the piano like nobody ever else had – save for perhaps John Cage! The duo do a heck of a lot of work inside the piano – plucking the strings, hitting them like vibes, and sticking in all of these weird bits to create a "prepared piano" ... LP, Vinyl record album
Pickwick, 1971. Near Mint-
(Cover has some ring and edge wear.) LP, Vinyl record album
RCA, 1967. Very Good
The groovy piano of Floyd Cramer takes on the songs of the Monkees – in a set that includes instrumental versions of "I'm A Believer", "Steppin Stone", "A Little Be Me A Little Bit You", "Theme From The Monkees", "Last Train To Clarksville", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Lew Tabackin & Shelley Manne

Trackin'
Direct Cutting (Japan), 1976. Very Good+
One of the Direct Cutting audiophile recordings made during the 70's, pressed up on Japanese vinyl, and pressed so that it needs to be played at 45 rpm for maximum fidelity. Apart from that geeky sort of information, though, the set's a nice quartet session featuring Lew Tabackin on tenor and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Herbie Hancock/Albert Tootie Heath

Traces (aka Kawaida)
Up Front, 1969. Very Good+
A great little album from Herbie Hancock – originally released with Tootie Heath as leader under the name Kuumba, entitled Kawaida! A super-hip batch of soul jazz tracks by Albert Toodie Heath of the Heath Brothers – working here on a rare session as a leader, with a sound that's right ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jerry Butler

Spice Of Life
Mercury, 1972. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
Perhaps the greatest record Jerry Butler made in the 70s, and a very tight bit of baroque Chicago soul with arrangements and production by Samuel F. Brown III. The tracks are a good mix of originals and covers, and they all show Jerry going way past his Gamble & Huff/Mercury years – into ... LP, Vinyl record album
