Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
The greatest album ever from reedman Justo Almario – and one of the most obscure sets to ever come out on the Uno Melodic label of Roy Ayers! Roy Ayers produced the whole thing, and handled arrangements with Justo – and the whole thing feels a lot like a jazzy instrumental take on Roy's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don Blackman ... CD 
Arista/Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A jazz funk masterpiece, and THE record by the legendary Don Blackman – the only one issued under his own name for many many years, and a famous little set that's been sampled endlessly over the years, and for good reason!

A landmark pairing of records from a group who only ever gave the world two albums – but who've gone on to have a huge influence over the years!

Expansion (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $16.99
Excellent work from a very well-named group – as the contemporary combo forwards the legacy of British funk in the late 70s and early 80s – as the supergroup features original members of Central Line, Beggar & Co, Light Of The World, and Hi-Tension – all seminal groups from ...

Messages From The Spirit – The Collective (with bonus track) ... CD Expansion (UK), 2021. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The deepest, most righteous music we've ever heard from Sheree Brown – and that's saying a lot, given how much we loved her first few solo records back in the day! Brown's got this rich vision here that really makes for a hell of a record – a set of tracks inspired by her younger years ... (Soul) read more CD
Philadelphia International (UK), 1976/1979. Near Mint- ... $14.99
2 of Jean Carn's best tracks for Philly!

Two great tracks from Dee Edwards – from a time when the Detroit singer was really getting a chance to shine!

Ladies Of The Eighties ... LP Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1980. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A legendary project from Roy Ayers – and a record that's almost as in-demand as his classic Ramp album!

Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $9.99
A great little album from The Emotions – largely because it sounds a lot like prime mid 70s Earth Wind & Fire, with female vocals added over the top – ultimately, pulling away with a soulful charm all its own! Maurice White produced the whole set, and it's got a soaring spacey ... (Soul) read more CD
Hilton's Concept/Expansion (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... On June 12, 2021
A holy grail of funky music – and a rare gem from the DC scene of the 70s!

Expansion (UK), 1985. New Copy ... $9.99
A rare lost modern soul gem, which we too rarely come across! Recorded in 1985 for the Philly World label as Gardner's debut LP, the story as we understand it is that this record never really hit the shelves – for some reason it was pulled at the last minute by the label. We can't figure ... (Soul) read more CD

Gonzalez ... CD Soul Brother/Expansion (UK), 1974. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Sweet funky jazz from the 70s! Gonzalez were an obscure UK combo – probably known a lot better over in England, but pretty darn hard to find over here in America – and they've got a tight style that reminds us of some of the more well-produced jazz funk coming out on labels like Blue ...

A pair of ABC Records gems from Al Hudson & The Soul Partners – back to back on a single CD!

We Need Each Other (180 gram yellow vinyl pressing) ... LP Lyons/Expansion (UK), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really great underground groover from the 70s – an album that hardly got any circulation at the time, but which has gone onto become the stuff of legend over the years!

EMI/Expansion (UK), 1989. New Copy ... $16.99
The O'Jays hit a bit of a new jack mode with this late 80s set – picking up the beats, and giving themselves a chunkier rhythm than usual – but all while keeping things in that laidback territory that suits their famous vocals so well! The mellowest cuts here are our favorites – ... (Soul) read more CD
One Way featuring Al Hudson —
#New Old School ... CD Expansion (UK), 2019. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The title definitely gets it right – because the album's a new one from the legendary One Way, but definitely holds on to the sound of their old school classics!

Give Me Your Love ... LP Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Amazing!

Reflections Vol 1 – The Very Best Of Gary Taylor ... CD Expansion (UK), 1990s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An excellent set of smooth modern soul from Gary Taylor – originally a bassist on classic soul sides of the 70s and 80s, but emerging here in the 90s as a stunning vocalist with a very strong sound.

Expansion (UK), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
A fantastic early chapter in the Incognito story – a record put together by Jean Paul "Bluey" Maunick as a follow-up to the earlier Jazzfunk album – and a set that maybe has even more jazz and funk than that set did overall! Although done back in the 80s, the set clearly ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
