Cannonball Adderley —
Cannonball & Coltrane (aka Cannonball In Chicago) ... CD 
Limelight/EmArcy, 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles! The set was recorded in Chicago when both were stopping through the city ... (Jazz) read more CD
Art Blakey —
S Make It ... CD Limelight/Verve, 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A lost classic from Art Blakey – quite different from some of his Blue Note work! The album's a very swinging mid 60s session, noteworthy for the presence of John Gilmore, recording here in one of his few appearances away from Sun Ra. Gilmore wails on tenor, and he sounds great next to Lee ... (Jazz) read more CD
Art Blakey —
Soul Finger ... LP 
Limelight, Mid 60s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of the most obscure mid 60s sides by Blakey – but a great one! The record features a strangely-chosen lineup of the Jazz Messengers that includes Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Lucky Thompson, and John Hicks. Thompson's in his very soulful "just returned from Europe" phase, and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing with deep groove. Cover has minimal wear and aging.)
Limelight, 1964. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A fitting title for a great album – Eric Dolphy's last live recording, performed on June 2, 1964, with a trio of youngsters that included two of the greatest names in European avant garde jazz – Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink! The sound is jagged and a bit free – showing the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, including insert – SFX 10572. Cover has aging spots.)
Limelight, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99
A great version of moogy pop from the moog pop era of the late 60s – served up with a slightly sexy vibe, as you might guess from the title and the cover! The set's got a great electronic take on the Serge Gainsbourg classic "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus", plus versions of "Stella ... (Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, a split top seam, and some surface wear.)
Electronic Concept Orchestra —
Moog Groove ... LP Limelight, Late 60s. Sealed ... Out Of Stock
Wonderful funky fuzzy moogy! The cover proclaims that this is the "first album of electronic rock" – and although we don't know how true that is, the record's a nice batch of moogy covers – featuring tracks like "Grazin In the Grass", "Aquarius", "Penn ... (Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing, still sealed, with two cutout holes and some sticker remnants.)
Fifty Foot Hose —
Cauldron ... LP Limelight, 1968. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A massively tripped out batch of tunes – and one of THE psychedelic classics of the late 60s! Fifty Foot Hose had a sound that was half rock/half electronics – one that well suited their placement on the Limelight label, and which was a perfect bridge between the far side of rock and ...

(Original pink & green label pressing! Cover has a split top seam, center split on the bottom seam, & a tiny cutout hole, but looks nice overall.)

Grand Reunion ... CD Limelight, 1965. Used 2 CDs ... Out Of Stock
Melvin Jackson —
Funky Skull ... CD Limelight/Dusty Groove, 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite albums of all times – and a legendary testament to the greatness of the Chicago music scene in the late 60s! Melvin Jackson was the bassist in Eddie Harris' very successful group of the time – and his playing on Eddie's trippy and funky records for Atlantic is one ... (Jazz) read more CD
(Out of print, and still sealed!)
Roland Kirk —
Rip, Rig & Panic (Trip pressing) ... LP Limelight/Trip, 1965. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Mindblowing work from Roland Kirk – a record that really pushes the boundaries of his music even farther than some of his earlier, and excellent, albums for the Mercury label! Kirk's really stretching out here – finding a space in jazz that's uniquely his own – modern, yet ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Les McCann —
Bucket O' Grease ... CD Limelight/Universal (Japan), Late 60s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A killer little set from Les McCann – one of his greatest records of the 60s, thanks to a fair bit of Latin Soul influences! The album's got a groove that's much grittier than Les' other work – a solid, soulful emphasis on bottom rhythms – which are mostly in a boogaloo and shing- ... (Jazz) read more CD
(2015 Japanese pressing.)

Les McCann Plays The Hits ... LP Limelight, 1966. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Play the hits Les does – but in a very groovy way! He's got a nice little combo on the record that includes Plas Johnson and Seldon Powell on saxes, plus some Latin percussion by Johnny Pacheco and Ron Rich. The great Leroy Vinnegar rounds out the group on bass, providing the rich strong ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gerry Mulligan —
Feelin' Good ... LP Limelight, 1965. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A surprisingly groovy set of mid 60s tunes by Gerry – recorded in LA with backing by a small group that includes the great Hal Blaine on drums and Pete Jolly on piano, plus a string section conducted by Harry Bluestone. Mulligan's main role is to lay down some moody solos – in a manner ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Limelight, 1965. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $6.99
Yipes! What a bitter title – especially when you consider that Gerry actually added a piano to the group for this session, and that he's playing versions of 60s pop hits like "King Of The Road", "Downtown", "Mr Tambourine Man", "Hard Day's Night", and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing in the extravagant gatefold cover, with intact booklet. Cover has faint staining in the upper corner.)
Oscar Peterson —
Blues Etude ... CD Limelight/Universal (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked 60s gem from Oscar Peterson – one of his great sides for Limelight Records, and possibly the most soulful of the bunch! The group's a trio – with either Sam Jones or Ray Brown on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums – and they've got a really great feel, one that's a bit ... (Jazz) read more CD
Limelight/Fontana (Japan), Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Not the 60s album titled Blues Etude – but a 70s Japanese album that features that track, plus "Meditation", "Call Me", "Autumn Leaves", "Misty", "Moanin", and "Shadow Of Your Smile". (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and yellowing from age.)
Oscar Peterson —
Canadiana Suite (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Limelight/Universal (Japan), 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Oscar Peterson's most sophisticated albums of the 60s – an extended suite of tracks dedicated to the soul and spirit of Canada! The tunes are all originals, and have a really lush, vivid sort of feel – one that still has undercurrents of Peterson's usual soulful style, but which ... (Jazz) read more CD
Limelight/Big Pink (South Korea), 1968. New Copy ... $18.99 23.99
An incredible record from this enigmatic vocal group! Sound Of Feeling were an ultra hip trio (2 gals, 1 guy) who recorded under the aegis of Leonard Feather at the end of the 60s – and who worked in a mode that combined sweet harmony vocals, sunshine pop, and some surprisingly experimental ...

Ruth White —
7 Trumps From The Tarot Cards & Pinions ... CD Limelight/Rhythm Productions, 1968. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A very cool set from electronic pioneer Ruth White – a record that was originally issued as part of the avant modern series on Limelight, and which has a very different vibe than some of her more easygoing albums! The first half of the set features the long piece 7 Trumps From The Tarot ... (Out Sound) read more CD
Ruth White —
Flowers Of Evil ... CD Limelight/Rhythm Productions, 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A really cool blend of voice and electronics – years ahead of its time, and with a vibe that maybe prefaces some of the European industrial work to come at the end of the 70s! Ruth White is well known for her electronic experimentation – right up there with the work of Pierre Henry at ... (Out Sound) read more CD
