Crown Heights Affair —
Dance Lady Dance ... LP 
De-Lite, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Super-tight work from Crown Heights Affair – a group who've added in a bit of strings to their sound, but still have the same fantastic funky sound as their early work! The blend here is really a cut above so many other disco groups of the time – as there's a really strong focus on all ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Crown Heights Affair —
Dream World (with bonus tracks) ... CD 
De-Lite/Unidisc (Canada), 1978. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A tasty little disco album that's a lot better than you might think! In some ways, this might be Crown Heights Affair's most perfectly realized album – as it's got lots of long tracks that mix the group's always-tight instrumental style with a spacey soul sensibility that's quite captivating. ...

(1993 Unidisc pressing – with bonus 12" and radio mixes!)
Crown Heights Affair —
Dreaming A Dream ... LP De-Lite, 1975. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A dream of a record from Crown Heights Affair – the group's classic first set, and maybe as fine a batch of early club work you could ever hope to find! Like so many of the east coast acts at the start of the disco generation, these guys are a well-trained funk ensemble, playing at a faster ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dazzle —
Dazzle (with bonus track) ... CD De-Lite/Expansion (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $7.99 16.99
A disco dazzler from the glory days of the De-Lite Records scene – served up here by a group who really hit all the best sort of groove's you'd expect from that legendary imprint! The album's a disco record, sure – but it's also got the deeper roots that come from the De-Lite ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/Unidisc, 1978. Used ... $11.99
The Kay-Gees are burning bright with plenty of kilowatts here – in that razor-sharp approach to funk that made the group one of the best of their generation – able to strongly step on the dancefloor, but without losing any of the rawness of their funky 45 years! The balance is a bit ... (Soul) read more CD

Best Of Kool & The Gang ... LP De-Lite, Early 70s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
This one's called a "best of", but it's really one of the group's first albums, and it pulls together a host of great early tracks, some of which were only ever on singles! The record's got a shiny gold cover, and it's rare as hen's teeth! Titles include "The Penguin", "Le ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later pressing in the yellow cover, with a name in pen on the front, back and labels. Vinyl has a small mark that clicks for a few spins during "The Penguin" but plays fine otherwise.)
De-Lite/Polygram, 1980. Very Good ... $4.99
A super-huge album for Kool & The Gang – and for good reason too! The set features their massive hit "Celebration" – a cut that firmly planted the group in the mainstream, and which keeps getting countless play over the decades – probably still earning them a ...

Kool & The Gang —
Emergency ... LP De-Lite, 1984. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Sweet 80s sounds from the legendary Kool & The Gang – one of the key classics from the second chapter of the group – when their lineup and sound were a lot leaner than before, and they managed to cross over big to a much wider audience than before! The upbeat cuts show that the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

De-Lite/Edsel (UK), 1970s. New Copy 13CD ... $129.99 149.99
That's the later Kool & The Gang logo on the front cover, but this killer set brings together all their greatness from the early days – a fantastic run of funk that set a whole new standard for the 70s! Right from the start, the group had something different going on – a leaner, ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/Edsel (UK), 1970s. New Copy 11CD ... $109.99 139.99
The massive second chapter of Kool & The Gang – tracks from a time when the funky legends didn't falter at all, and instead reinvented themselves for a whole new generation! In the earlier part of the 70s, Kool & The Gang had already mastered the funky 45 and set the groundwork for ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/Real Gone, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
A landmark album of funky genius – and one of the first times a batch of funky 45s had ever been so tightly sewn into a full LP! By the time of this album's release, Kool & The Gang were already underground legends – cutting it up in small clubs around the east and midwest, and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ladies Night (with bonus tracks) ... CD De-Lite/Big Break (UK), 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
De-Lite, 1979. Near Mint- ... $9.99 14.99
A shameless dancefloor cash-in move – but a record that's still pretty darn great as well! You all know the big title cut "Ladies Night", so we won't bother to describe it – but we can say that the group wisely hooked up with Deodato, who produced, mixed, and even played ...

(UK blue label Mercury pressing. Cover has light wear.)
De-Lite, 1974. Very Good- Gatefold ... $11.99
It's the mid 70s, and Kool & Co not only keep the funky groove up, but also expand their style into a moogy style that adds a nice dimension of spacey soul to their rich palette of funk. The funkier cuts – like "Street Corner Symphony" and "Rhyme Tyme People" – ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Light Of Worlds ... CD 4.99(Vinyl plays with some surface noise. Cover has some surface wear, heavy edge wear, small split in the spine, and a peeled strip in back across the bottom.)
De-Lite/Reel Music, 1971. New Copy ... $7.99 15.99
One of the greatest Kool & The Gang albums ever – a monster live session that almost blows away their studio classics! The groove here is far more freewheeling and complex than some of their singles from the 70s – longer, tripped-out tunes with a definite undercurrent of jazz ... (Soul) read more CD

Open Sesame ... LP De-Lite, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A pivotal album from Kool & The Gang – a record that pushes the group past their roots as a funky 45 combo, and into larger, more righteous territory overall! There's some nicely spiritual vibes running through the set – almost as if they borrowed a bit of energy from Earth Wind ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Penguin (mono, stereo) ... 7-inch 
De-Lite, Early 70s. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the best early Kool & The Gang singles! "The Penguin" is a killer – with this bassy intro that riffs around itself so much you'd think it was knitting a sweater! Horns come in, the groove changes tempo, and the cut funks itself up so much you keep expecting popcorn to ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

De-Lite, 1981. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Something Special indeed – as the album was one of the biggest hits for Kool & The Gang, and showed that the group still had plenty of energy left to groove into the 80s!

De-Lite, 1977. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A funky soul band with a bit of a clubby groove – and one that features some great male harmony vocals behind lead singer Jann Harrison! Harrison's got a very light style of singing – almost soprano at points, which makes the male voices especially welcome – as they help ground ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Motivation (with bonus tracks) ... CD De-Lite/Solid (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
With those aerobic clothes on the cover, the girls definitely look motivated – but they're not actually the group on the album, as Motivation is a tight little male soul sextet! The group have all the right funky currents to fit into the De-Lite Records label approach – a bit clubby at ... (Soul) read more CD
Benny Troy —
Tearin' Me To Pieces ... LP De-Lite, 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
The only full album ever cut by Benny Troy – a blue-eyed soul talent who's right at home in the Philly club setting of the album! Sure, Benny looks a bit cheesy on the cover – but the set's a great example of the way that the Philly scene was able to take an older singer and find a new ...
