Uno Melodic/Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $12.99
A hot slice of early 80s, post-disco soul produced by Roy Ayers! On "I Know You Care", Ethyl uses a sexy, breathy, Minnie Riperton kind of approach that accents the deep thumping bass, drums and claps, and the scratchy guitar very nicely! Overall the track has a bit poppier of a sound ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Expansion (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $7.99
A mighty sweet groove from Chuck Cissel – a singer who's got a way of soaring with the groove – which is an approach that works perfectly here! "Don't Tell Me You're Sorry" has this vibe that's maybe a bit more upbeat than the message of the lyrics – but that's a-OK ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Columbia/Expansion (UK), 1986. Used ... $2.99
James D-Train Williams' first album for a major label – and a really great follow-up to the indie success of his initial recordings for Prelude Records!

Cotillion/Expansion (UK), 1979/1980. New Copy ... $11.99
Two great tracks from Dee Edwards – from a time when the Detroit singer was really getting a chance to shine!

I Wouldn't Change A Thing/Expansion (UK), 1975/1976. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Coke Escovedo always warms our heart with his 70s classic "I Wouldn't Change A Thing" – an amazing track that has a funky fusion flavor and almost a Larry Mizell-styled groove – compressed keyboards and guitar riffing away beautifully next to Coke's conga lines – all ...

Be There In The Morning/Expansion, 1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Two fantastic tracks by Australia's queen of soul in the 70s!

"It Only ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Especially For You/ABC/Expansion (UK), 1977. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Two fantastic early albums by Al Hudson – working here with his initial group, The Soul Partners!

ABC/Expansion (UK), 1978/1979. New Copy ... $14.99
A pair of ABC Records gems from Al Hudson & The Soul Partners – back to back on a single CD! Spreading Love is excellent early work from Al Hudson – a soulful talent who stood his own in the late 70s, forging an up-tempo funk sound that lived long past disco, and which was sort of ...

Keep On Doin' Whatcha' Doin' (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Sheridan House/Expansion (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Rare later work from the lovely Ty Karim – a female soul singer who made some great 60s singles on the LA scene – then really surprised us when she reappeared for this massive club stepper at the start of the 80s!

Expansion (UK), 1998. Used ... $6.99
A perfect 90s moment from the mighty Kashif – maybe sounding better here in an indie soul setting than he did a few years before on the charts – stepping back into this smooth mellow groove that's a perfect showcase for his ultra-classy vocals! Kashif's an artist who inspired so many ... (Soul) read more CD

Expansion (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $7.99

Expansion (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Two of the best cuts ever from this underground club act of the 70s – back to back on a 12" single! "Give Me The Sunshine" is their real calling card – a slow-stepping club number that's almost smooth enough to work for steppers, but funkier at the core too – nice ...

Incredible soul jazz from the great Pharoah Sanders – two great numbers from his post-Impulse Records years!
