Memories In Tokyo ... LP Paddle Wheel/King (Japan), 1987. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Late work from Chet Baker, but great work too – and sounds that have Baker returning to an incredibly strong sense of force in the final year of his life!

It's A New Day – Let A Man Come In ... CD King/Universal (Japan), 1970. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Further genius from James Brown at the start of the 70s – a record that's starting to show some of the more open-ended grooves he'd explore with the JBs on their own albums – longer, stretched-out tracks that are way more than simple funk and soul!
