De-Lite, 1984. Very Good+ ... $24.99
A record that would have been huge, had it gotten the kind of mainstream placement it deserved – which would have let the world hear what a great singer Leon Bryant could be! The set's got some top-shelf arrangements from Jimmy Mack and Sonny Sanders – both of whom are sliding ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

De-Lite/Deep Beats (UK), 1981/1984. Used ... $14.99
A pair of great records from Leon Bryant – both from the late De-Lite Records years, and offered up here back to back! First up is Mighty Body – a set also known as the self-titled Leon Bryant album – overlooked genius from Leon – a singer with a hell of a voice, and a ... (Soul) read more CD

De-Lite/Solid (Japan), 1981/1984. New Copy ... $13.99
De-Lite/Octave (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $13.99
A record that ended up in more than a few 70s record collections because of its sexy cover image – but a set that's even better when you get down into the grooves – thanks to massively funky work from Crown Heights Affair! The group are wonderful here – upbeat and quick-stepping, ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/Octave (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $13.99
A smooth later groover from Crown Heights Affair – a lot more 80s sounding than the group's classic work, but in a way that's actually totally great! CHA were never shy of hitting a mainstream sound – and early in the group's career, they traded harder funk for smoother disco – ... (Soul) read more CD

Dazzle ... LP De-Lite/Expansion (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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 LP, Vinyl record album

Celebrate ... LP De-Lite/Polygram, 1980. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 ...

De-Lite/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. Used ... $4.99
Kool & The Gang sounding super-tight, but mighty right as well – a groove that still has all the great jazz elements of their mid 70s records, but which also has them picking up the bassy bottom a bit more too! The sound is not nearly as slick as their 80s hits – and instead still ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/PTG (Netherlands), 1977. New Copy ... $10.99
Kool & The Gang's a little bit slicker and a little bit smoother on The Force than on earlier classic records – but thankfully, they're still getting on down to the funky sounds! The Force does indeed have more of a spacey boogie than a jungle boogie vibe, but they're still doing what we ... (Soul) read more CD
De-Lite/Big Break (UK), 1983. New Copy ... $13.99
A sweet set that's part of a big early 80s run from Kool & The Gang – a time that saw the funk legends really hitting the mainstream, and winning over a huge new audience in the process! Given that the Gang virtually invented ensemble funk at the start of the 70s, they're perfectly ... (Soul) read more CD

Kool & The Gang (kool-aid vinyl pressing) ... LP De-Lite/Real Gone, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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

Light Of Worlds ... LP De-Lite, 1974. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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

Open Sesame – part 1 (mono, stereo) ... 7-inch 
De-Lite, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
For many, this was the moment when Kool and the Gang went disco – but to us, this still sounds pretty good! The cut's a bit more uptempo than usual, but the groove is still pretty nice – and there's some incredible wobbly bit in the middle that sounds like somebody's playing a saw! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has small sticker.)
De-Lite/Big Break (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $13.99
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! The record features production work by Brazilian music maestro Eumir Deodato – who by this point had become a ... (Soul) read more CD

Wild & Peaceful ... LP De-Lite, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
After this one, there was no turning back for Kool & The Gang! The record has them bringing their underground funk sound to the masses – with a choppy riffy groove that stands out almost as a public challenge to all the other pretenders that had been cropping up on major labels during ...

Melodies (Made In USA plus bonus tracks) ... CD De-Lite/Unidisc (Canada), 1977. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 CD
