Nation Time/
Philadelphia International, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Two nice ones from the Ebonys' rare years at Philly International. "Nation Time" is an O'Jays-esque political soul groover – of the "stand up and be counted" vein. "I Believe" is a reworking of the old Frankie Laine pop hit, transformed here into a surprisingly ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Energy Of Love ... CD 
Philadelphia International/Intermusic (Spain), 1974. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic album from The Intruders – their last full record as a group, and a set that really shows all the growth they'd experienced as a harmony group in just a few short years! We love their early singles, and even their previous album for Philly International – but there's also ... (Soul) read more CD

Dick Jensen ... LP 
Philadelphia International, 1973. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the strangest albums ever issued on Philly International – a set of tunes by Dick Jensen, who was part blue-eyed soul singer, part easy male vocalist – sounding here as if he'd almost hit the market about 5 years too late to make a difference. The record's the kind that would be ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Philadelphia International/Sony, 1975. Used ... $9.99
Teddy Pendergrass and crew get a bit more political than on earlier releases, and adopt the righteous bubbling soul groove that had put the O'Jays over the top a few years earlier – with incredible results! The title cut – "Wake Up Everybody" – would prove to be a great ... (Soul) read more CD

Groundbreaking work, and a killer piece of Philly groove!

Shades Of Blue ... LP Philadelphia International, 1980. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of Lou Rawls' last albums for Philly International, and a really nice departure from the style of Lou's earlier hits for the label.

Voyager ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Dexter Wansel keeps up the space jazz funk groove that was begun on Life On Mars – with those fat, thumping bass lines, elastic lead guitar, atmospheric soul vocals and loads and loads of keys – spatial work on Rhodes, Moogs and ARPs!
