Gordy, 1962. Near Mint- ... $11.99 14.99
One of the coolest, grooviest early group albums on Motown – sung by a group who've got a wonderfully rocking sound throughout – something you can probably guess from the placement of the guitar on the cover! That instrument steps out strongly on most numbers here – giving The ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A second solo set from Temptation Dennis Edwards – a great set of mellow modern soul, with a very 80s approach to the production and arrangements.

Think what you might about Rick James, this is actually a pretty darn funky album – with lots of tight bass-heavy grooves!

Another stone winner from Rick James' early 80s run for Motown – a set that follows strongly on territory opened up by previous records – especially that bass-heavy approach to funk!
