Taka Boom ... LP Ariola, 1979. Very Good ...
Out Of Stock
Classic club from Taka Boom – a singer with a name that was just right for the disco generation! Taka's got an approach here that's common for the time, but also a cut above – an approach to disco that's more soulful overall, and which has a bit more staying power than throwaway pop ...

Chapter 8 ... LP Ariola, 1979. Very Good+ ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
The first album from Chapter 8 – a set that's probably best remembered for introducing the world to Anita Baker, but one that's also pretty darn great on its own! Chapter 8 have a sharply soulful focus, one that takes them a bit above some of the other mainstream ensembles of the time – ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ring and edge wear, heavy wear at the spine, and is bent at the bottom left corner.)
A great funky group with a hell of a lead singer – so much so, they decided to put her name on the title of this album! Precious Wilson's got a voice that might have been suited to deep soul, had she sung in the 60s – but here, she works with Eruption on a set of cuts that have kind of ...

A classic yet unusual take on the sound of post-folk vocals in the world of 70s pop – a set done by gentle-voiced Mary MacGregor, a singer who would have had much more acoustic support a decade before – yet who here has an unusual blend of AOR elements and more laidback modes, all ...

$10.9916.99
There's enough chest hair on the cover of this one to carpet the inside of any custom van – but the record's a fair bit better than you might guess from its image! The set's an outing as a leader by disco maestro Paul Sabu – one that features plenty of the riffing guitar he brought to ... (Soul) read moreCD

Purple Mix ... LP Ariola (Netherlands), 1985. Very Good+ ...
Out Of Stock
One of the best albums we've ever heard from this funky rock group – kind of a mix of styles by groups like Average White Band, Sweetwater, and Tower Of Power. The album features the great funk track "Without Love", which begins with a monster break that has a very dark Eric B kind ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Totally commercial pop disco, but still a roller rink classic! With the huge hit title track, plus "Light My Fire/137 Disco Heaven", "Bring It On Back To Me", "Closest Thing To Heaven", "Am I Losing You" and "Get Your Love Back". (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album

A classic groove album from Japanese singer Tatsuro Yamashita – one that takes all the funky soul modes he'd forged in the 70s, and fits them with a tighter 80s groove overall! The set has Tatsuro working with his core band, who've really honed things to a "T", and are going for ... (Japanese) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A sweet masterpiece of 70s AOR from Japan – served up by Tatsuro Yamashita, who was easily one of the most soulful male singers on the scene in the years before city pop! The record's got a jazzy vibe that's great, and which really fits the R&B-inspired midtempo rhythms – almost as ... (Japanese) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
