No holiday for Ruby Braff – not when he's working so hard to make a record like this sound so great! The session's an overlooked gem recorded for Bethlehem in the 50s – and it's got Ruby's trumpet stepping out strongly with a larger group arranged by Bob Wilber – in a great mix ...

The long-overdue second album from the Brand New Heavies – and one that came at just the right time to support the strong underground reputation the group were getting from a great range of singles issued during the early 90s!

No group's work was more adaptable to groovy orchestral arrangements than John, Paul, George & Ringo – and Chacksfield is well beyond being merely up to task, and this set is loads of groovy fun.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Krush's sixth full length LP – and excellent project with lots of guest spots and a slightly more abstract approach than it's predecessors, but still firmly rooted in dirty drum breaks and dusty samples! Tracks include the brilliant "Hitotsu No Mirai" with his cohorts in Kemuri ... (Hip Hop) read moreCD

A wonderful album from this legendary Brazilian singer – and probably one of his best-ever! Farney began his career as a warm romantic vocalist in earlier pop years, but on this great set, he's emerging as a talented jazz singer, on a level with Leny Andrade or Elis Regina. The ...

Hard rockin party soul from the legendary Flares – a sock-soul west coast group who flourished briefly in the early 60s! The group's classic "Foot Stompin" is one of the most recognizable (and most catchy!) tunes of its era – and it's packaged here in a set that includes a ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(UK mono pressing – in a flipback cover! Cover has light wear, but is nice overall.)
(Still sealed, with a cut corner and Best Entertainment Value sticker. Shrinkwrap has some wear, small tears, and is cracked a bit at the bottom of the spine.)
A cool sextet session from Benny Goodman – one that recalls the best fluid groove of his late 30s small combo sides! The setting here is live, but the recording features excellent sound – all to capture a mix of Benny's clarinet, Zoot Sims' tenor, Bill McGuffie's piano, Bucky ...

One of the most sublime tracks ever recorded by Al Green – and quite possibly THE Al Green tune to most of the world! It's hard to mess with the genius of "Love & Happiness" – from the slow-burning intro, to the punctuated rhythms of the tune, to Al's wonderfully flowing ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A near-forgotten gem from Coleman Hawkins excellent late 50s period – recorded for the short-lived Felsted label, and done in a beautifully relaxed way! The tracks here are long and easy-going – at times even more open than Hawkins' work for Verve, and in the style he'd explore even ... (Jazz) read moreCD
Includes themes from Journey To The Center Of The Earth, The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and Fahrenheit 451. (Soundtracks) LP, Vinyl record album
A great groover from the team of Hodges, James, & Smith – hitting hard with great vocals in the first half, then letting the whole thing spin out in sweet instrumental frenzy toward the end! "Since I Fell For You" is nice too – a bit mellower overall, but with that ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

Obscure little record – and supposedly the soundtrack to a western comedy directed by and starring Fred Williamson (Black Caesar), and featuring Richard Pryor and James Brown!

Even though Jacques Loussier's Play Bach albums are tried and true, and very familiar, we still think they're one of the grooviest contributions that the French made to music in the 60's.

British blues meets LA's Laurel Canyon – a trans-Atlantic (or is it Pacific?) blend that makes for one of John Mayall's most compelling albums of the 60s!

Another great step forward for the legendary John Mayall – proof that he was never just content to copy American blues modes, and always willing to bring something new to the table!

Possibly one of the best-remembered albums by John Mayall's legendary Blues Breakers combo – thanks to vocals and guitar from a young Eric Clapton!

Brilliant 60s work from Meirelles – ostensibly an album of pop batucada tracks, but a record that also features some great jazzy groovers lurking in the mix of tracks!

An incredible first album from The Moody Blues – way way different than any of their later high-concept work, and much more in the best soul and R&B-drenched material of the UK mod scene of the time!

A very groovy soundtrack from Dudley Moore! Dud starred in the film, and also came up with some fab music – very much in the vein of his excellent score for the film Bedazzled, which was recorded just a bit before this one.

Some of the funkiest grooves recorded in the UK during the early 70s – the wicked first album by the Olympic Runners, a group who almost got their start by accident!

A wonderful album from the young Irish singer/songwriter who went onto become one of the brightest lights in 70s pop!
