Luther Allison —
Bad News Is Coming ... LP 
Gordy, 1972. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A nice bit of funky blues, and a very strange record to appear on Motown! The production style and presentation are very rootsy – right down to the photo of Luther on the front cover, who's smoking a cigarette, but trying to pretend it's a joint! The style is electric blues of the Chicago ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Luther Allison —
Luther's Blues ... LP Gordy, 1974. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the only blues records you'll ever find on Motown – and a mostly straight blues affair with a hard electric sound to it. The album's mostly in the early Alligator Records camp – but there's a few nice funky cuts, like "Now You Got It" and "Into My Life", ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stone Soul Booster (double a-side single) ... 7-inch 
Gordy, 1970. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
(Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Vinyl has some marks that click at the beginning of one side, and some sticker remnants on the deadwax on the other. Label has a peeled spot.)
Gordy, 1985. Sealed ... $3.99
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

Dennis Edwards —
Don't Look Any Further ... LP Gordy, 1984. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The Temptations' former lead singer's first solo record with a huge 80s groove album, especially considering the mighty title track – the duet with Siedah Garrett and it's sly reggae influenced bassline and crisp popping beat. This is one of those records we appreciate a lot more with the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Don't Look Any Further (with bonus tracks) ... CD 
Gordy/Big Break (UK), 1984. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The Temptations' former lead singer's first solo record with a huge 80s groove album, especially considering the mighty title track – the duet with Siedah Garrett and it's sly reggae influenced bassline and crisp popping beat. This is one of those records we appreciate a lot more with the ... (Soul) read more CD
Rick James —
Bustin Out Of L Seven ... LP Gordy, 1979. Very Good+ ... $7.99
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.)
Gordy (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $13.99
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! The record's maybe not as stone classic as others, but still is way tighter and more put-together than ... (Soul) read more CD

Cold Blooded ... LP Gordy, 1983. Very Good Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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!

Rick James —
Fire It Up ... LP Gordy, 1979. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
Rick James fires it up at the end of the 70s – stepping out at full star power that has him rivaling the strength of Bootsy Collins at Warner, and paving the way for the rise of Prince in the early 80s! As with Prince, James' version of funk here is a bit offbeat – lots of riffing ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rick James —
Glow ... LP Gordy, 1985. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
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
(Includes printed inner sleeve.)
Gordy, 1981. Very Good ... $9.99
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
Also available Street Songs ... CD 13.99
Gordy (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... $13.99
Rick James is massively throwing down on this classic set – tight, right, and on the money all the way through – in that trademark groove that so many others would try to cop, but never get this right! The album bristles with energy right from the start – lots of bass at the ... (Soul) read more CD

Gordy, 1968. Sealed ... $9.99
Classic Motown album of two of Dr. King's speeches – "Drum Major Instinct Sermon", from 2/4/68, and "I've Been To The Mountain", from 4/3/68. The latter is especially significant in that it was the last speech King ever made, delivered on the night before he was ... (Comedy/Spoken) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later pressing in the barcode cover.)
Gordy, 1963. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
When Dr. King spoke in Detroit in 1963, Motown managed to have the tape recorders rolling – and the result was this classic album of knowledge and righteousness. The album is banded into segments from King's speech, entitled "Non Violent Approach", "Love Your Enemy", ... (Comedy/Spoken) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Teena Marie —
It Must Be Magic ... LP Gordy, 1981. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Maybe the greatest album that Teena Marie ever cut – and that's saying a lot, given the strength of the lady's work for Motown! The set's got this bright, positive bounce that grabs you right from the start – but also moves into a depth that's way different than other funk albums of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nolen & Crossley —
Ambience ... CD Gordy/Motown (Japan), 1982. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Curtis Nolen and Raymond Crossley may not have been the biggest names to record for Motown in the 80s, but the duo serves up some mighty nice work in this overlooked set – a package of self-produced original material that comes across with a great 80s groove on both the uptempo numbers and ...

Ralph Sharon —
Modern Innovations On Country & Western Themes ... LP Gordy, Early 60s. Sealed ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quite an unusual album – not just because it features Tony Bennett's famous pianist recording for Motown – but also because Ralph Sharon takes on some country music themes, which are quite far from his usual bag! The results are surprisingly nice – and the album also features a ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Edwin Starr —
25 Miles ... LP Gordy, 1969. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Socking soul, and a key album in the career of Detroit powerhouse Edwin Starr – one that had him stepping forth with a proud, loud groove all the way through! Starr's work was always a bit harder than the regular Motown bag – no doubts because of his more indie soul roots – and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Recent reissue pressing.)
Gordy (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
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 ... (Soul) read more CD

Gordy (Japan), 1972. New Copy ... $13.99
The Temptations going in all directions – and all of them pretty darn groovy too! The set's still heavy on the solid, righteous sound of Norman Whitfield – who gives some of the best cuts that psychedelic soul imprint he really perfected with the group – a quality that has a lot ...

Temptations —
House Party ... LP Gordy, 1975. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A mix of styles and moods – with some righteous funky numbers, ala the Norman Whitfield days, and a few others done in a more modern soul mode. James Carmichael handles most of the heavy soul tunes, and the rest are done by Steve Cropper and HB Barnum, working together in a mode that seems ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gordy, 1973. Very Good ... $4.99
They certainly got the title right on this one – because the album's an early 70s masterpiece from the Temptations – one of the last in their legendary run of records with Norman Whitfield! By this point, the group are way past simple harmony soul – and are working with Whitfield ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Puzzle People ... CD Gordy, 1969. New Copy ... $11.99 12.99
A classic set of psychedelic soul from this fantastic 60s group! The record is one of the groundbreaking albums the Temps cut with producer Norman Whitfield – and it's a landmark session that perfectly showcases what Whitfield's full-on, guitar-heavy, bassy-bottom style could do for the ...

Gordy/Motown, 1971. New Copy ... $11.99 12.99
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 CD

Gordy, 1970. Very Good+ ... $3.99
It's later in the Temps' career, when they were cutting much heavier soul material – but Berry's still got them polishing up for the crossover crowd, in this case at London's classy Talk Of The Town nightclub. The group still get in some strong soul tunes – like "Cloud Nine", ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Temptations Live! ... LP Gordy, 1967. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of our favorite Motown live albums of the 60s – a really wonderful set from The Temptations, and one that explodes with even more energy than their studio sides of the time! The recording quality is great – in a way that really brings an edge to the music, and seems to sharpen the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Temptations —
Wish It Would Rain ... LP Gordy, 1968. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A pivotal moment for The Temptations – a set that has the group hitting even more of a deep soul sound than before – at a level that really sets them apart from some of the other groups on Motown at the time! There's a richer, fuller sound going on here – as the group work with ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

21st Creation —
Break Thru ... LP Gordy, 1978. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An obscure Motown group from the end of the 70s – 21st Creation had a strident uptempo group sound that reminds us of some of the more successful disco hits of Tavares from the same time. The arrangements are mostly club-oriented – handled by Willie Hutch, Gene Page, and Harold Johnson ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gordy/Motown, 1976. Used ... $7.99
Amazing stuff! Arguably Leon Ware's greatest record – and one of the greatest Motown records of the 70's! The record is a beautiful set of interwoven mellow soul tracks, recorded right on the heels of Marvin Gaye's I Want You album, which was written and conceived by Ware, then taken at the ...

Gordy, 1985. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A lost little gem from the Rick James camp – a bit obscure, despite the fact that Val's a former Bride Of Funkenstein! Val's not as well known as some of the other artists that Rick James worked with back in the 80s – but given her resume, she's got a solidly soulful sound that works ...
