Hi Records, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Al Green's first major album, and a killer batch of Memphis soul tracks with a sound that's a bit rawer than later years.

Hi Records/Right Stuff, 1975. Used ... $7.99

Heavenly soul doesn't get any more heavenly than this!

Hi Records, 1976. Very Good ... $6.99

Al Green — Let's Stay Together ... LP

Hi Records, 1972. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A damn great bit of work from the legendary Al Green – maybe one of his best records ever – and in fact, maybe one of greatest soul albums of all time!

Al Green — Livin For You ... LP

Hi Records, 1973. Sealed ... $28.99

Hard to go wrong with Al Green at this point – 1973, when the mighty one was at the height of his secular soul powers – and when the sweetly compressed production style of Willie Mitchell just couldn't miss!

Willie Mitchell — Best Of Willie Mitchell ... LP

Hi Records, Late 60s/Early 70s. Very Good+ 2LP ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Although he's probably best remembered these days as the genius producer behind most of the great Memphis soul records on the Hi Records label, Willie Mitchell was also quite a big soul star in his day.

(Original Hi/London pressing. Cover has light wear.)

Willie Mitchell — Hit Sound of Willie Mitchell ... LP

Hi Records, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Funky Willie Mitchell at his best – "hit sound" to be sure, but one that still has plenty of grit in the grooves!

(Mono pressing. Cover has light wear and a center split in the spine.)

Willie Mitchell — Hold It – Here's Willie Mitchell ... LP

Hi Records, 1960. Very Good ... $6.99

Very early grooves from Willie Mitchell – a set that's got a bit more R&B than in Willie's later years – with less trumpet in the mix, and more of an overall punch in the rhythms!

Hi Records/Fat Possum, 1965. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

It's Dance Time, Memphis style – thanks to a hip album of instrumentals from the great Willie Mitchell!

Willie Mitchell — Many Moods Of Willie Mitchell ... LP

Hi Records, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A killer album by Willie – hard and funky, with none of the sleepiness of his other records!

Hi Records/Cream (Germany), Late 60s/Early 70s. Near Mint- 2LP ... $23.99

A great 2LP selection of work from Ann Peebles – the hardest-hitting singer to ever record for Hi Records, and almost that label's female answer to their strengths with Al Green! Willie Mitchell produced, and the set's full of gems from Ann's best years. (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album

Ann Peebles — Handwriting Is On The Wall ... LP

Hi Records, 1978. Very Good ... $1.99

A bit late in the classic Hi years, but Ann's still going strong – in a smooth southern style that recalls the best 70s work by singers like Millie Jackson or Shirley Brown.

Gene Simmons — Jumpin Gene Simmons ... LP

Hi Records, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $9.99

Great early work from the first Gene Simmons – not the guy who sang for Kiss in the 70s, but an earlier rocking singer from the south!

Great work from OV Wright – one of the few singers who was still strongly carrying the Hi Records torch at the end of the 70s!
