Brunswick/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... $13.99
One of Barbara Acklin's beautiful albums for Brunswick, and one of the hardest to find of the bunch! This might be because the record features a few cuts from other albums – in a style that was sometimes oddly used by Brunswick when issuing albums on its big stars – but don't let that ...

Artistics —
I Want You To Make My Life Over ... LP 
Brunswick, 1969. Sealed ... $14.99

Brunswick/Solid (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... $13.99
A really breakout moment for The Artistics – and the start of a really sublime run with the great Brunswick Records!

Brunswick/Sam Records (France), 1958. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 About December 20, 2021
Early in his career, Donald Byrd spent some time in Paris – where he not only got a chance to work in a whole new setting with some really great players, but he also got to record some fantastic sides that still stand as some of his best hardbop work! This rare album was originally issued on ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brunswick/Sam Records (France), 1958. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 About December 20, 2021
The second volume of work that Donald Byrd recorded live at the Olympia in Paris in 1958 – even harder-hitting in tone than the first!

Gene Chandler —
There Was A Time (with bonus tracks) ... CD Brunswick/Solid (Japan), 1968. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A soaring, burning set from Gene Chandler – completely different than his early hits, and a key point in the transformation of Chicago soul in the 60s! Gene's always had a heck of a great vocal range – and he really gets a chance to use it to best effect on this album of jaunty and ... (Soul) read more CD

(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People ... LP Brunswick, 1970. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
Seminal work from one of the 70s greatest groups!

Lonely Man ... LP Brunswick, 1972. Very Good ... $8.99
One of the biggest records ever from The Chi-Lites – thanks to the "Oh Girl" title hit that's referenced on the cover!

Vaughan Mason —
Jammin Big Guitar/Brunswick, 1981. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A monster rollerskating track! "Big Guitar" is almost every bit as great as "Bounce Rock Skate Roll" – Vaughan's other classic from the time, and it's especially as good on the "rockin" side, which is an instrumental with some great Chris Stein-esque riffing, ...

Brunswick, 1979. Very Good ... $24.99
What can we say? This is a classic! The track has a monster roller skating groove that's been sampled more than a few times over the years – but which still sounds incredible on its own!

Massive! This is probably the best-ever album of rollerskating grooves – and is the most famous entry into a short-lived funk genre that sprung up around the rollerskating craze of the late 70s and early 80s. The rollerskate sound took a tight stepping funk groove from earlier years, and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brunswick, 1979. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Perhaps not as well known as "Bounce, Rock. . .", but still a great roller skating groove, with heavy rolling bass, a chirping whistle in the background and nice dose of moogy keys over a popping groove that'll keep any rink or disco moving! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Brunswick/Demon (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 26.99
A lost set of female soul tracks – recorded in the waning years of the Brunswick label, when they were really experimenting with some great obscure groups, most of whom got lost in the tax shuffles of the label's demise!

Quite possibly the greatest soul band ever to come out of Milwaukee – and a tight little ensemble who've got a really great sound!
