Flashlight
LP (Item 2466) Philly Groove, 1978 — Condition: Near Mint-
Related searches
Flashlight is a sweet little disco combo – one who are working here with prime Philly maestros Norman Harris, Ron Kersey, Arnold Coley, and Bobby Eli – all of whom give the group's tracks a warmly soulful quality, and a sound that's more in the mode of early/mid 70s vocal groups like Blue Magic or Impact, than it is some of the Philly ensembles at the end of the decade. Titles include "I Can Be (Everything You Want Me To Be", "Beginner's Luck", "Thank You Baby", "Every Little Beat Of My Heart", and "Don't Feel Nothing (Til You Hear From Me)". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(White label promo. Cover has one slightly bumped corner, but is nice overall.)
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.

DJ Rogers
On The Road AgainRCA, 1976. Sealed
Classic work from the great DJ Rogers – with a soaring, sweeping, righteous soul feel that reminds us of Rance Allen at his best, or of some of the smooth work of Lamont Dozier from the same time.

Impressions
Check Out Your MindCurtom, 1970. Very Good+
Righteous late 60s soul from The Impressions – the group's last album with Curtis Mayfield in the lineup!

Discs Of GoldWand, 1974. Sealed Gatefold
Some of the best work ever by this seminal Chicago 70s soul group!

This ... LP, Vinyl record album
Cleveland Eaton & The Garden Of Eaton
Keep Love AliveOvation, 1979. Very Good+
A mixture of funky jazz, soul, and disco – recorded with a host of studio players and a smooth jazzy finish. The record's trying to keep the groove going from Eaton's Instant Hip LP – which was quite a minor hit for him – and although we love the bassist as a jazz player, most of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Rinder & Lewis
WarriorsAVI, 1979. Near Mint-
An excellent bit of spacey club grooves from the enigmatic Rinder & Lewis team! The record has a sweet jazzy vibe that's different than some of their other records – and which seems to share equal parts influence from Kraftwerk, Larry Mizell, and Tangerine Dream. Includes the great ... LP, Vinyl record album
Aretha Franklin
Young, Gifted, & BlackAtlantic, 1972. Very Good-
A beautiful album that perfectly mixes both sides of Aretha Franklin's talents – the hard-edged soul singer who first flourished at Atlantic records in the late 60s, and the artist who was growing even more as a vocalist – really reaching out her wings to more sophisticated material! ... LP, Vinyl record album
Stevie Wonder
Hotter Than JulyTamla, 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold
A bit smoother than early days, but still very nice and soulful – and did we expect any less from Stevie? The record's got a nicely flanged-out soul groove – with a style that kind of expands on the vocal and keyboard production of the early 70s, taking the groove towards a sound that ...

Prince
1999Warner, 1982. Very Good 2LP
The record that forever put Prince on the map – a legendary set that took him from being an under-appreciated soul singer to a lasting pop music legend!

Spinners
Original SpinnersMotown, 1967. Very Good+
Amazing early work from The Spinners – an early Motown record that's quite different than the more famous sound of the group recording in Philly with Atlantic Records in the 70s – done with an even stronger approach on the harmonies, at a level that really gets at the group's roots! ...
