A killer bit of harmony soul – one of the greatest of the genre from the 70s!

An excellent album of smooth soul from Carl Carlton – a richly talented singer who began his career as a kid in the 60s, but who's working here in a sophisticated adult mode with production by Leon Haywood. The album kind of takes Haywood's best styles of the mid 70s and updates them to ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The legendary Gene Chandler gets down, and gets down good – in this classic late 70s set of clubby numbers and upbeat groovers!

A later winner from The Dells – a record that has the group mixing uptempo grooves and sublime mellow numbers – all of which are sung with heartbreaking vocals that show the group as still one of the best in soul music – even after more than 20 years on record!

Eleventh Hour were a Bob Crewe studio project that had a hard rockin soul feel, with lots of flanged out falsetto vocals, and some bassy bits in between in sort of an early rock/funk kind of way. Sort of an AM crossover mid-70s sound, and one that's not really stone cold funky, but which still ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Bass-heavy funk material by this obscure west coast group, and a record that features songwriting and production by Bob Crewe.

Excellent soundtrack work by Jerry Goldsmith – possibly his greatest ever!

The soundtrack to the 60s version of Stagecoach – the one with the outrageously beautiful Ann Margaret, Bing Crosby, Red Buttons, Slim Pickens and Alex Cord – with a lavish, though appropriately dust-strewn Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack!

A monster! "I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You" has had big fame in recent years, but the cut's always been one of Leon Haywood's greatest – a slow, sly, slinky funky number that really never gets old! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
