Mainstream, 1968. Near Mint- ... $39.99
Early work from Ted Nugent – working here as the searing lead guitarist of the mighty Amboy Dukes! The Nuge doesn't sing on the set, but his guitar is definitely in the spotlight on most numbers – ripping out with a rawness that beats his later superstar work, and which is free to ...

Mainstream, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
Mainstream, 1967. Very Good+ ... $24.99
The first full album featuring the incredible voice of Janis Joplin, as the singer of Big Brother & The Holding Company! Even at this early point, it's clear that there's some really incredible things happening with this band. Originally released on Mainstream, the production is a bit thin ...

Mainstream/BGP (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $11.99 18.99
The great self-titled Alice Clark LP on Mainstream plus earlier singles for Warner Brothers and unreleased tracks – the complete studio recordings from '68-72 – in one great set!

Mainstream/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1972. Used ... $13.99
We've only ever seen this one record by singer Mel Dancy, and it's a groovy little set that makes us wonder why he never moved on to greater fame! The record's got this mix of soul and jazz at the core – with occasional hints at the territory that would be opened up later in the 70s by ... (Soul) read more CD

Mainstream, Late 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... $0.99
Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1972. Used ... $11.99
Wild – but pretty darn wonderful stuff! Dizzy's recording here in one of his sparest settings ever – blowing trumpet with accompaniment from the duo of Willie Ruff, bass and French horn, and Dwike Mitchell, piano – working in a mode that's really cool, really stripped down, and ...

Jerry Goldsmith —
Stagecoach ... LP Mainstream, 1966. Sealed ... $3.99
The soundtrack to the 60s version of Stagecoach – the one with the outrageously beautiful Ann Margaret, Bing Crosby, Red Buttons, Slim Pickens and Alex Cord – with a lavish, though appropriately dust-strewn Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack! This '66 remake may not rival John Ford's landmark ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Begin The Beguine ... LP Mainstream, Mid 40s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Maurice Jarre —
Collector ... LP Mainstream, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A really beautiful little score by Maurice Jarre – smaller and more intimate than some of his other 60s work, with a number of nice tunes that turn slightly on a small amount of instrumentation. There's a feel here that's pretty dark overall – thin reed parts and a bit of harpsichord ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing.)
Time, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
A haunting album of shorter chamber works by some lesser known avant garde composers of the 60s. The works are all played by the Hamburger Kammersolisten, with direction by Francis Travis – and instrumentation that includes flute, oboe, violin, cello, and piano. The range of composers is ...

Morgana King —
With A Taste Of Honey ... LP Mainstream, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A fantastic step forward for singer Morgana King – just the kind of record that really let the vocalist unlock all the sort of special power that would set her apart from the rest for decades to come! Morgana's got this completely distinct approach to jazz singing – a mode that's short ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Irene Kral —
Wonderful Life ... LP Mainstream, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the more obscure 60s albums cut by jazz vocalist Irene Kral – and a great little record that shows her to be more of a singer than we expected! Some of the tunes on the set have the straight vocals with band feel of Irene's other albums, but a few more go for a groovier sort of 60s ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Harold Land —
New Shade Of Blue ... CD Mainstream/Solid (Japan), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked chapter in the Harold Land/Bobby Hutcherson partnership that recorded more famously for Blue Note – a date that's issued here under the tenorist's own name, but which also features equal contributions from Hutcherson on vibes! Tracks have that long, modal quality that has the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Alfie ... LP Mainstream, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Dionne Warwick may have made the title track a hit, but the tune stands as a great start for this classic 60s album from Carmen McRae – one of those superb gems from a time when the singer was really finding herself – and hitting this mature territory that gave her what she fully ...

Mainstream/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1972. Used ... $14.99
The only album to ever credit producer Bob Shad as a leader – even though the man had been behind so many famous records on labels that include Mainstream, Time, and Mercury! This set has Shad taking the hip vibe of the Mainstream label to the forefront – mixing funky jazz and trippier ... (Jazz) read more CD

Mauricio Smith —
Bitter Acid ... CD Mainstream/P-Vine (Japan), 1967. Used ... Out Of Stock
A killer album of hard instrumental Latin soul tracks – one of the few albums ever done by funky reed player Mauricio Smith! On the set, Smith plays flute, alto, and soprano sax – and the record's filled with short little groovers that have a nice choppy sound, and lots of heavy conga ... (Latin) read more CD

Mainstream/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1966. Used ... $11.99
A surprisingly great little record from Clark Terry – filled with warmth, humor, and some really great grooves! The core of the album is the track "Mumbles", one that's based around Terry kind of slurring a scat vocal to a jazzy 60s groove. The track was a minor hit at the time, ... (Jazz) read more CD

A beautiful collaboration between Sarah Vaughan and Michel Legrand – and easily one of Sarah's greatest albums of the 70s! As he was doing with other singers at the time, Legrand helps Vaughan hit a new level of sophistication here – bringing in tunes that really get past simple pop ... (Vocalists) read more CD
