M3000

LP (Item 69845) Motown, 1979 — Condition: Very Good+
3rd album of futuristic soul from Mandre, with a bit less of the Dexter Wansel influenced sound we love so much about the first album, and more of the bass heavy sound that would predominate in the 80s, as well as a good bit of synthesized sounds and slick production flourishes, even a bit of vocoder. 7 tracks in all: "M3000 (opus VI)", "L'Oasis", "Final Funk", "Spirit Groove", "Freakin's Fine", "Do Whatcha Gotta Do" and "Swang".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has ring and edge wear, a cutout notch, and a promo sticker.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight 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.

Mandre

Mandre Two
Motown, 1978. Very Good+
The second album of groovy, spacey, fusiony soul from Mandre, ne' Andre Lewis. While not quite as sublime as the first LP, this one's still got lots of nice synth-y touches, and solid grooves mostly taken at medium tempo, though with a bit of a nod towards the prevailing disco trends of the day. ...

Diana Ross & The Supremes

Greatest Hits Volume 3
Motown, 1960s. Very Good+
It's the third volume, but there's still plenty of hits left – thanks to the legendary 60s run of Diana Ross & The Supremes at Motown! Arrangers include Henry Cosby, Paul Riser, and Wade Marcus – and most of the tracks are from the later years of the original trio – with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Thelma Houston

Devil In Me
Motown, 1977. Very Good+
Thelma's one of those singers who must have been waiting years for disco to come around and help her find a reason to sing! Her career was slightly ill-timed in the beginning, coming along with a baroque soul beginning that was great, yet somewhat out of place in the early 70s. But enter a record ...

Motown Sounds

Space Dance
Motown, 1978. Very Good-
Sort of a disco effort from Motown, featuring a group led by keyboardist Michael L. Smith, and featuring David T. Walker, Sonny Burke, James Gadson, Lee Ritenour, and Roland Bautista. The tracks are long dancefloor cuts, with a bit of a space disco sound, and titles like "Space Dance", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dazz Band

Hot Spot
Motown, 1985. Very Good+
The Dazz Band are in a definite hot spot here – the group's final album for Motown, and a record that's filled with the kind of catchy crossover funk they did better than most! The set snaps into a groove right from the very first note – with that electro funk that Motown served up big ... LP, Vinyl record album
Motown, 1967. Very Good+
The Four Tops weren't the first of the Motown groups to get the broadway treatment, but they do a pretty nice job with it! Thanks to some swinging help from producer Frank Wilson, the quartet manage to still shine even though they're shackled with a set of tunes from over-blown broadway shows of ...

Anthology
Motown, 1960s/Early 70s. Near Mint- 3LP Gatefold
Killer 3LP set that brings together just about every single track you'd ever want from Marvin's early years at Motown!

Ellen McIlwaine

We the People
Polydor, 1973. Very Good+
Wonderful work from the great Ellen McIllwaine! Ellen's certainly not a soul artist – but she's got a particularly soulful approach to folk rock – one that's made her a favorite of groovers worldwide in the past few decades, thanks to a big push from Gilles Peterson, and the club scene ...
