Easily one of the greatest records that Brazilian percussionist Airto ever recorded – a stunning blend roots and jazzy currents, and a set that follows strongly off his work in the group Quarteto Novo! The set's got contributions from one of his key partners in that combo – reedman ... (Brazil) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really unusual album – produced by Garth Hudson of The Band, and featuring this Indian group that also played at the Fillore and hung out with Bob Dylan! The tracks are very percussive, with tabla underneath khrmack, dotara, harmonium, and kartaljulie – on titles that include "Pr ... (Global Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Sweet mellow soul meets the burgeoning east coast club soul sound – and the results are incredible!

Safe As Milk ... LP Buddah, 1967. Near Mint- ...
Just Sold Out!
Mindblowing music from Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band – a record that's got plenty of garagey grit at the core, but which also has a heady freak rock vibe overall! The 1967 album really captures this perfect moment – one when so many artists like Don Van Vliet had their feet in ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Some great tracks from the jazzy soulful genius of Norman Connors! Connors is one of the best crossover soul jazz artists of the 70s – with a masterful blend of styles that's matched by only a few other artists, like Roy Ayers or Leroy Hutson. This set includes tracks from his Buddah and ... (Soul) read moreCD

A brilliant mix of soul and jazz from the legendary Norman Connors – a key album in breaking Norman out back in the 70s – and a record that's still pretty darn perfect all these many years later! You can hear Connors' deep roots throughout the set – but they're often used towards ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A strange shift in sound for Coven – a set that's still got all the satanic imagery of their classic Witchcraft record, but which has a more rock-based approach overall! The songs here are all pretty darn catchy – produced by Shel Talmy with a good mix of compressed guitars and vocals ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A nice dose of work from one of the greatest harmony soul groups of all time – the mighty Delfonics, a trio who took high-end vocals to a whole new level!

The Ebonys sing about life, and a host of other groovy topics too – in this lost soul treasure from the 70s!

Portrait ... LP Buddah, 1970. Very Good Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
A wonderful record by The 5th Dimension – hip, sophisticated, and one that shows that they had a depth that went beyond simple soul harmonies!

Classic! "Ooh Child" is killer killer killer – one of those soul cuts that you can't ever let go, and which sounds great no matter where you hear it: at home, on a car radio, or pumping out of the soundtrack of one of the countless films that have used it over the years. It's ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
Gladys Knight steps out on her own – in her very first solo album, after years of recording with The Pips! The change has maybe a bit more focus on Knight's incredible vocals in the lead, but the approach is also strongly similar to the best work with The Pips at the same period – with ...

A classic! This is the record that made Mancini's career, and forever transformed the face of crime and jazz. The record's a stunning batch of instrumentals, played by a crack group of west coast players who also performed regularly in the TV show. Titles include the classic "Peter ...

The sensuous soul gem from Barbara Mason – a sweetly soulful groover all the way – and one of her strongest records!

Very cool stuff – and a very strange record for Gary McFarland!

Melanie's a folkie at heart, but one who's very open to new ideas too – as you'll hear in this surprisingly offbeat set from the late 60s! The record mixes Melanie's raspy, almost eerie vocal approach with some compelling charts from Roger Kellaway – who respects the folk impulses at ... (Rock) read moreCD
A great live session from the glory days of the Chicago electric blues scene, originally released on Vee Jay, and lovingly repackaged here by Buddah with liner notes by Studs Terkel.

One of THE psychedelic funk masterpieces of the early 70s – a guitar-heavy set with a very fuzzed up feel – one that's halfway between the work of Fugi and some of the best early sides on Westbound Records!

A really striking live set from singer/songwriter Biff Rose – a real contrast to his better-known record on Tetragrammaton – thanks to a loose and free presentation of the material!

One of the landmark albums of 70s mellow soul! Bobby Wilson hasn't left behind much of a recorded legacy, but he did come up with this godlike album that should be in any collection of classic soul.
