ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Although she began her career as more of a hard soul diva, this LP from the late 70's is a bit of an attempt to turn her into a club diva. The track "Queen Of The Disco" would be the biggest proof of this, but there's also a bunch of nice cuts that have more of a soul feel to them, and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A surprising gem from Louis' later years – most famous for the title hit, but a great album all the way through!

An overlooked jazz rock combo from the late 60s US scene – a group with echoes of Cream and Soft Machine, but who also have a bit rootsier feel overall!

ABC, Late 60s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $2.99
Weird weird work from Galt MacDermot! The soundtrack features work for a musical version of the Shakespeare play – written by Galt in the years after Hair, and done with a hip funky Broadway style that's very much in keeping with his best musical work of the time. The music on the disc is ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album

ABC, 1956. Near Mint- ... $11.99
Pettiford's second album of big band tracks for ABC during the 50s – a more open-ended set than the previous one, with modernist touches that really make the set sparkle nicely. Part of these are due to Gigi Gryce, who plays alto on the record, and probably had a bit of a hand in ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
