Archie Bell & The Drells —
Hard Not To Like It ... LP 
Philadelphia International, 1977. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of the strong Philly LPs by Archie Bell and the Drells (and they really did make the transition to Philly pretty well). Side one has some of their more blatent attempts to appeal to the then hot disco crowd, but side two has them back in a great easy soul two-step sound, like "It's Hard ...

Strategy ... LP Philadelphia International, 1979. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
By the end of the 70s, Archie and crew were firmly entrenched in the up-tempo dancefloor style that made them one of the more winning groups at Philly International – and this album was one of their last for the label. The record features production work by the Gamble/Huff and ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Philadelphia International, 1979. Sealed ... $14.99
A great album follows up the sound of the Jerry's first for Philly International – a smooth mellow style that grooves in an all-adult mode that's a perfect setting for the aging Iceman's vocals! The Butler voice is always a wonderful treat, but cast amidst the warm and sophisticated ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nothing Says I Love You Like I Love You ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
After working with Gamble & Huff on his big hits for Mercury in the late 60s, Jerry returned to work with the pair in the late 70s on their own Philly International label – stepping out with the same sweet groove that the Philly sound had brought to Lou Rawls, in a way that helped Butler ...

Philadelphia International, 1976. Very Good ... $2.99
Jean Carn was one of the best-ever singers to hit the Philly International label – a sophisticated diva with a style that would strongly influence soul music for the next 10 years, and a downright compelling voice that crafted some of the best modern soul of her generation. Although Jean ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Force —
Dirty Dog (long, short) ... 12-inch Philadelphia International, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A great bit of funky club – and almost more of an old school groover than a disco one – thanks to some great use of popping bass and riffing guitar! The cut really runs along wonderfully here – building with a tight stepping force before the lyrics come into the mix – and ... (Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo in a Philly Int'l sleeve.)
Leon Huff —
Here To Create Music ... LP Philadelphia International, 1980. Very Good ... $2.99
One of the most compelling later albums on Philly International – a killer mix of jazzy numbers that have a very different style than most of the other Philly work at the time! Even though Leon Huff had been banging around in soul music for about 15 years – most famously as half of the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Phyllis Hyman —
Living All Alone ... LP Philadelphia International, 1986. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Sparkling modern soul from the lovely Phyllis Hyman – and an album that has the singer picking up the wonderfully smooth groove that had become the Philly International sound of the mid 80s. This format works surprisingly well for Phyllis – quite possibly more so than it did even for ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Phyllis Hyman —
Prime Of My Life ... CD 
Philadelphia International, 1991. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Later work from Phyllis Hyman – one of her mature albums for the Philly International label! The set picks up a modern groove even more strongly than Hyman's debut for Philly – going for a sound that's got a bit more of an 80s soul approach overall, but which also uses some extremely ...

Great stuff – and a key link between the early work of the Jackson 5 on Motown and Michael's later grooves with Quincy Jones!

Do You Get Enough Love (love mix, voc)/Philadelphia International, 1986. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really great number from Shirley Jones' solo career for Philly after the breakup of The Jones Girls – a sweetly smooth stepper penned by Bunny Sigler, and done with a warmly building hook that's totally great!

At Peace With Woman ... LP Philadelphia International, 1980. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Classic Jones Girls for Philly!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now/Philadelphia International, 1979. Very Good ... $4.99
One of the greatest moments of late Philly – and a dancefloor stormer that never lets us down!
