Checker, 1965. Very Good+ ... $34.99
With that whip in her hand, we're not gonna argue with Fontella Bass about her New Look in the photo – and we can definitely say that the whole classic album definitely lives up to her hip, powerful stance on the cover! Fontella's a singer who started in gospel, later sung jazz, but who ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Checker, 1967. Very Good- ... $9.99
Fantastic bit of soul by Gene Chandler, and despite the "hit" referred to in the title, the album's a great batch of stuff that doesn't really see the light of day that often! Includes his great remake of "Rainbow", titled "Rainbow 65", and featuring some amazing live ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Songs Of Faith – Aretha Gospel ... LP Checker, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Some of the earliest recordings ever done by Aretha Franklin – a Chess Records album of the 60s, but one that brings together obscure Detroit tracks from Aretha's earliest years – gospel sides that came out as singles, mixed with a few others that were never issued at the time! The ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Super Super Blues Band (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Checker/Jackpot, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 19.99
A group that definitely lives up to its name – given that the lineup features the Chess Records stalwarts Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, and Muddy Waters! The set's maybe a bit more in the mode of Wolf or Waters than some of Bo's own records – although there's a bit of that riffing spark of ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grits Ain't Groceries/Checker, 1968. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Checker, 1966. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Big blues from Little Milton, recorded with a mighty big sound as well – thanks to the cool criss-crossing of soul and blues that was going down at Chess Records in the 60s! Milton's got this raw, raspy style in his voice – a nasty edge that mixes perfectly with his own sharp guitar ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

I'm So Young/Checker, Early 60s. Very Good ... $6.99
Collectables/Atlantic/Okeh/Checker, 1960s. Used ... $4.99
An excellent set of 20 tracks by The Vibrations – a wonderful 60s group who had a rich talent for both hard uptempo numbers and sweeter mellower ones. The CD's the first legitimate collection of their work that's been issued in years and years – and it includes work from the group's ... (Soul) read more CD
(Out of print.)
Checker, Early 60s. Very Good ... $1.99
"Watusi" is a classic groover from The Vibrations – a slowly dancing number with a hard-sock groove, one of the group's best early cuts! "Wallflower" is more uptempo, tighter harmonies and a smoother groove – kind of a sing-song playful number, with raw vocals on ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Violinaires —
Groovin With Jesus (180 gram pressing) ... LP Checker, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Damn funky gospel from The Violinaires – easily one of the hippest spiritual albums you could ever hope to find on Chess! The groove here is gritty Chicago funk, put together by Gene Barge with lots of heavy bass on the bottom – in a blend that's somewhere between the Cadet/Concept ...
