Airto —
Fingers ... CD 
CTI/King (Japan), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Airto's greatest records ever – a really hard hitting batch of tracks that mix sharp-edged fusion lines with some earthier Brazilian percussion touches – all in a way that nicely steps off of Airto's first few American releases, and warms the groove up with a nice dose of ...

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters —
Unwind Yourself – The King Recordings 1964 to 1967 ... CD King/Kent (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Some of our favorite work ever from the legendary Hank Ballard – a key figure in early R&B, and a singer who cut some big hits with his group The Midnighters – but one who also continued to do some wonderful work for King Records long after his hits – most of which is included ...

Kudu/King (Japan), 1975. Used ... $12.99
A great little Kudu set from guitarist Joe Beck – a player who's sounding a lot tighter here than some of his odd psychedelic experiments of the 60s – but still pretty darn great overall! The style is smooth, as you'd expect from Kudu, but Joe's still got plenty of edges in his guitar ... (Jazz) read more CD

King (Japan), 1957. Near Mint- ... $29.99
That's Torys, as in Suntory's – the big Japanese distillery who's hosting this special performance of The Big Four – a crackling lineup that features soulful tenor from Hidehiko Matsumoto and drums from George Kawaguchi!

(70s Japanese pressing, with obi and insert. Cover has light aging.)
Big Lucky/Hi Records/King (Japan), 1971. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A bit blues, a bit soul, and a great document of some under-recorded talents in the Memphis scene at the start of the 70s! The album's got a grittier sound than usual for Hi Records – and shows that at some levels in Memphis, there were still artists carrying the heavier sounds of a decade ...

A killer from James Brown – and one of his best instrumental albums of the King years!

James Brown —
Estoy En La Onda (aka James Brown At The Garden) ... LP King/Orfeon (Mexico), 1967. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Not as well-known as James Brown's live albums from the Apollo, but a really cooking set from the 60s that keeps up a plenty hard groove all the way through!

(Unusual Mexican 60s poressing! Cover has some light wear near the opening, but is great overall – and vinyl has one short click, but is nice and clean.)
King/Universal, 1966. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
James Brown, proud and loud – a smoking 60s album that provides a great link between his earlier styles and his freer roots – with a brilliant blend of funk, soul, and a touch of raw R&B! Given the power of The Godfather at this point, there's no denying that even the older cuts ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
James Brown —
It's A Mother (LP sleeve edition) ... CD King/Culture Factory, 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

King, 1967. Good ... $7.99
Raw soul, indeed – a term that could have been coined for James Brown's vocal approach, and which probably makes one of its first appearances here on a record! The album's kind of a grab bag of earlier sides that James recorded for King, but it's a perfect showcase for his amazing sound in ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sex Machine ... LP King, 1970. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $39.99
James Brown cooking it live – recorded (as the cover says) "at home in Augusta, Georgia with his bad self"!

King, Late 50s. Very Good ... $9.99
King Records gems from the great Cowboy Copas – a singer who's a lot more country than western – despite his name and hat on the cover!

A nice little set that combines some of Eddie's rare work for King from the mid 50s!

Next to Honky Tonk, this has to be one of the greatest Bill Doggett LPs for King!

Bossa nova and blues?
