Dennis Edwards —
Coolin' Out ... LP 
Gordy, 1985. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
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. There's a bit of 80s production in the mix – handled by Dennis Lambert in a strong way that never overcomes the vocals – and titles ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Rick James —
Bustin Out Of L Seven ... LP Gordy, 1979. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Think what you might about Rick James, this is actually a pretty darn funky album – with lots of tight bass-heavy grooves! Rick's working here with the Stone City Band, in a style that's leaner and less commercial than some of his later work – going for a mainstream funk approach, but ...

(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light edge wear and lightly bent corners.)
Gordy/Universal (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $13.99 About June 22, 2022
An overlooked gem from Rick James' classic early run for Motown – a set that maybe didn't chart as big as some of his other records for the label, but which stands strongly today as a well-crafted batch of mellow funky soul! James has a bit less of the bass-heavy riffs here than you'd expect ... (Soul) read more CD
Gordy, 1985. Sealed ... $9.99
Rick James hits a smoother sort of style here – one that's almost a compressed take on the mainstream version of funk first crafted on his earlier records, fused into a more radio-friendly approach for the Prince generation! The sound's actually not that bad – and the record has an ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed copy! Cover has a cutout notch.)
Rick James —
Street Songs ... LP Gordy, 1981. Sealed ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the all-time great Rick James albums – a return to funkier sounds for Rick that worked both artistically and commercially – and actually got over far better than his more blatant attempts at crossover material on other records! The mix here is perfect – a true summation of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Martha & The Vandellas —
Watchout! ... LP Gordy, 1966. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Gordy, 1968. Near Mint- ... $16.99
After a few years a Motown's big crossover chart star, how could Martha not be Riding High?

Edwin Starr —
Soul Master (with bonus tracks) ... CD Gordy/Big Break (UK), 1968. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A mod soul classic from the great Edwin Starr – a set that bridges his years in the Detroit underground and his sudden rise to fame at Motown! The tracks here have a really deep basement grooving sort of vibe – catchy, but less poppy than the usual Motown – and more with the kind ... (Soul) read more CD
Edwin Starr —
War & Peace (orange vinyl pressing) ... LP Gordy/Anagram, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A real breakout album for Edwin Starr – and the kind of full-on set that really helped give his music a bold new focus! Starr had already scored nicely on some playful tracks from the Motor City scene of the late 60s – but here, he emerges as a singer with a lot more depth than before ...

Switch —
Switch ... CD Gordy/PTG (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
A seminal bit of seventies soul from Switch, and a record that really helped set the tone for countless others to come in the 80s – no surprise, given that the group's got members from both the DeBarge and Ingram families! There's a warmth here that few others can match – an earnest, ... (Soul) read more CD
Switch —
This Is My Dream ... CD Gordy/FTG (Netherlands), 1980. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the last records Switch recorded before Philip Ingram went solo, and the rest of the guys broke off into DeBarge – and an album with some surprisingly sweet soul moments! The funky side of Switch is still stringly in place, but this record has some great little ballads ballads too ... (Soul) read more CD
Gordy, 1981. Sealed ... $7.99
Gordy, 1969. Very Good ... $16.99
A classic set of psychedelic soul from this fantastic 60s group!

Temptations —
Sky's The Limit ... LP Gordy, 1971. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sublime work from the Temptations – still recording here with Norman Whitfield, who's really opening up his bag on most of the record – and taking the group into expansive territory that was barely hinted at in their early work! The album's got some incredible tracks in the Whitfield ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Temptations —
Surface Thrills ... CD Gordy/PTG (Netherlands), 1983. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
An unusual set of 80s grooves from The Temptations – a record that still has the group at the top of their vocal powers, but which also changes up the sound of the rhythms a bit! There's more beats and keyboard lines than before – production that definitely shows the date of the record ... (Soul) read more CD
Temptations —
Truly For You ... CD Gordy/PTG (Netherlands), 1984. New Copy ... $11.99 19.99
A great 80s set from The Temptations – one of the few Motown acts who managed to deliver great work again and again over the years!

Gordy, 1967. Very Good+ ... $19.99
The Temptations pick up a lot of soul on this classic Motown set – a deeper, darker groove than ever before – the start of that fuzzy psychedelic soul style that made them one of the most inventive Motown acts of the late 60s! Deep basslines roll out strongly right from the start of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
