Keep On Loving You

LP (Item 64324) United Artists, 1975 — Condition: Near Mint-
One of ZZ Hill's most unique albums of the 70s – recorded with a sound that's quite different than some of his earlier work! The record was handled by a few very strong producers – Lamont Dozier and Allen Toussaint most notably – and it's got a sound that's half southern soul, half southern funk – not hard-hitting entirely, but definitely with more of a punch than some of ZZ's other records. The approach reminds us a fair bit of Toussaint and Dozier's best work of the time – still rootsy and raw in the vocals, but with a good use of studio to tighten up the message a bit. Lots of nice numbers, and tracks include the famously sampled "That Ain't The Way You Make Love", "I Created A Monster", "My Turn", "Look What You've Done", "I Keep On Loving You", "Two Sides To Every Story", and "Steppin In The Shoes Of A Fool".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has light wear and Best Entertainment Value stickers covering a cutout hole at the bottom left corner.)

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.

Brass Construction

Brass Construction II
United Artists, 1976. Near Mint-
The second album from Brass Construction – heavy horns, basslines, and stellar dancefloor grooves – a stone classic!

Walter Jackson

Good To See You
Chi Sound/United Artists, 1978. Near Mint-

United Artists, 1975. Near Mint-
The cover and the title are a great illustration of the growth of Bobby Womack on this classic 70s set – a mode of presentation that's maybe a bit more badass than before, without the down-home image of Bobby holding his guitar! Some aspects of the record are plenty darn righteous – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ike & Tina Turner

Nutbush City Limits
United Artists, 1973. Very Good+
A nicely rootsy set from the team of Ike & Tina Turner – an album that's almost more "down home" than any of the records made by the pair in their roots! The style here is that "back to the country" sound that was favored both with mainstream rock and soul-revival ... LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Tee

Anticipation
United Artists, 1976. Near Mint-
Mid 70's album of funky soul tracks cut by ex-Gator Willie Tee, with a number of other members of the Gators, for United Artists. Don't go thinking that it's raw New Orleans soul, though, because the sound is a lot more polished, with more of a 70's modern groove to it. Willie's still got some ... LP, Vinyl record album

Stylistics

Stylistics
Avco, 1971. Very Good+
A masterpiece of harmony soul – one of THE all-time greats of the genre, and a lasting treasure from The Stylistics! The album really took vocal soul to a whole new level for the 70s – pushing from the sometimes fragile ballad style of the late 60s into a smoother, more mature sound ... LP, Vinyl record album

Voices Of East Harlem
Just Sunshine, 1973. Very Good Gatefold
A masterpiece of sweet group soul! This was the first secular record cut by The Voices Of East Harlem – a group who'd had an earlier gospel-tinged album on Elektra, but who are soaring out here in a brilliant mix of righteous mainstream soul styles – courtesy of the Curtom power team ...

Stylistics

Rockin' Roll Baby
Avco, 1973. Very Good+
The third album by The Stylistics – and a set that's still very much in the high-harmony territory of their first two classics!

David T Walker

Plum Happy
Zea, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold
One of the most badass records ever issued by funky guitarist David T Walker – a set that's got a looser, freer vibe than some of his other albums – and which puts Walker in territory next to Shuggie Otis and Phil Upchurch from the same time in their careers! The set's equal parts jazz ... LP, Vinyl record album

Isley Brothers

Givin' It Back
T Neck, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold
A very weird, but very beautiful album by the Isleys – one in which they move into a folksy rock groove, and play acoustic guitars in long spiralling soulful versions of some of their favorite rock hits! The sound's a bit like Terry Callier or Bill Withers, but it's also still got that sexy ... LP, Vinyl record album
