Jean Carn —
When I Find You Love ... LP 
Philadelphia International, 1979. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sublime smooth soul from Jean Carn – who by this point has really honed her act into a polished one, perfect for the rising modern soul groove of late Philly. The record features production by Jerry Butler, Dexter Wansel, and Eddie Levert – but Jean unites the whole thing with her ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes printed inner sleeve.)
Philadelphia International, 1973. Near Mint- ... $7.99
"It's Forever" is really one of the group's best – a slow building tune with a sad little approach – building harmonies over the theme of "forever", climbing over the top into a heavenly soul sound! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Label has a sticker.)
Philadelphia International, 1973. Very Good+ ... $4.99
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
Philadelphia International/Intermusic (Spain), 1974. New Copy ... $10.99
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
(Limited edition.)
Philadelphia International, 1976. Very Good Gatefold ... $9.99
Great stuff – and a key link between the early work of the Jackson 5 on Motown and Michael's later grooves with Quincy Jones! The Gamble/Huff team give the group a smooth sweet sound – definitely in a dancefloor mode, with some of the bassy riffs of Michael's Off The Wall album, but ...

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis —
Potpourri ... LP Philadelphia International, 1974. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the hippest albums ever recorded by the Jones/Lewis band – oddly cut for Philadelphia International, during the height of that label's classic soul output! The group is totally great – filled with deeply soulful players like Ron Bridgewater, Cecil Bridgewater, Billy Harper, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

MFSB —
Love Is The Message – Best Of MFSB ... CD Philadelphia International/Legacy, 1970s. New Copy ... $4.99 6.99
Groundbreaking work, and a killer piece of Philly groove! MFSB were a large conglomeration of studio players who graced some of the first big Philly hits in the 70s, and here they break out on their own in a remarkable set of pre-disco tunes that form the blueprint for the rest of the 70s ... (Soul) read more CD
Philadelphia International/Big Break (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $12.99
A key moment for the Philly soul scene of the 70s – and the first album to feature the MFSB backing group as a solo act on their own! The ensemble were responsible for key sounds on countless soul singles of the time – yet also find a way to soar beautifully on their own – in a ... (Soul) read more CD
MFSB —
Philadelphia Freedom/Philadelphia International/Vocalion (UK), 1975/1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great 2-fer set – one that brings together albums that feature MSFB at the height of their mid 70s powers! Philadelphia Freedom is a very big crossover moment for the Philly sound, and one of the biggest hits by the studio combo that drove the big Gamble/Huff hits of the 70s! The record's ...

Universal Love ... LP Philadelphia International, 1975. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $5.99
Killer stuff from this legendary Philly soul instrumental combo – with funky soul horns, unstoppable dancefloor ready rhythms and those soul-stirring strings – and right up there with their best ever! Bobby Martin arranged almost every track – and the record's a great example of ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

O'Jays —
Back Stabbers ... CD Philadelphia International, 1972. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A landmark album for the O'Jays – a set that moved them from the indie ranks to 70s megasoulstatus! After years of bumping around on a variety of labels, and in a variety of styles, the group really exploded with this wonderful set – an album that has them soaring along in the ...

O'Jays —
Ship Ahoy (expanded version – with bonus track) ... CD Philadelphia International, 1973. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A pivotal album from The O'Jays – and an undeniable Philly classic! The record was the third the group cut for the Philadelphia International label – but it was really the first one that pushed their strong righteous soul agenda, sort of a mix of message-oriented lyrics and heavy soul ... (Soul) read more CD
Philadelphia International, 1977. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Nice Philly work by the O'Jays – one of their key "second period" albums, and a lost little gem filled with great harmony soul tracks. The political agenda of early 70s Philly albums is mostly gone, and the group's returned to themes of love and romance – often done in a ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Two ultra-hip albums from Billy Paul – back to back in a single set! First up is 360 Degrees Of Billy Paul – a record that features Billy Paul at the height of his powers – able to capture the ears of the crossover audience, yet still stay very strongly on message – all ... (Soul) read more CD

Billy Paul —
Let 'Em In/Philadelphia International/Right Stuff, Late 70s. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Killer Philly soul – 2 classic Billy Paul albums on one CD! Neither of these were Billy's biggest albums for Philly, but they do represent the nice period when he was hitting his stride with the Gamble-Huff sound, and turning out some excellent smooth soul tracks – some uptempo, in the ...

Teddy Pendergrass —
Heaven Only Knows ... LP Philadelphia International, 1983. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Teddy Pendergrass' last album for Philly International – showcasing a warmer Teddy than ever before – one who glides along with a majestic, mature approach to his music – in a way that shows that Pendergrass was as good an interpreter of ballads and mellow cuts as he formerly was ...

Philadelphia International, 1978. Near Mint- ... $11.99
One of the crowning achievements of People's Choice – a very hip group on the Philly scene, but one who spent most of their early years just releasing excellent (but under-circulated) 7" singles! By the time they arrived at the Philadelphia International label, the group was razor-sharp ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lou Rawls —
All Things In Time ... CD Philadelphia International/Intermusic (Spain), 1976. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A killer – and one of our favorite Philly International albums ever! This is the album that broke Lou Rawls back into the mainstream for the smooth 70s – retuning his incredible voice with waves of soul and strings in the Gamble & Huff tradition – and giving him a whole new ... (Soul) read more CD
(Limited edition!)
Philadelphia International, 1978. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $2.99
Just in case you were fearing that Lou's late 70s talents were only part of the studio magic of Gamble & Huff, this set proves that Mr Rawls could really sparkle in a spontaneous live setting – working here with a totally top-shelf set of arrangements that display a really wide range of ...

Philadelphia International, 1980. Near Mint- ... $4.99
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. It's got a sophisticated jazzy mode that has Rawls often singing with sparer piano backings than the fuller strings of the late 70s – in a way that's sort ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lou Rawls —
Sit Down & Talk To Me ... LP Philadelphia International, 1979. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Not as hit-heavy as some of Lou's other albums for Philly International, but a nice batch of mellow jazzy soul tracks – with arrangements by Thom Bell, Bunny Sigler, Dexter Wansel, and others. Some of the tunes get nicely uptempo – hitting the warmer clubby modes that always worked ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Philadelphia International, 1977. Near Mint- ... $2.99
One of the greatest records ever by Lou Rawls – if only for one cut! That's the amazing "See You When I Get There", which starts with a Fender Rhodes riff over a hard thumping beat – while Lou does this little monologue about calling his woman at home. Then strings sweep in, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lou Rawls —
When You Hear Lou, You've Heard It All ... LP Philadelphia International, 1977. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
The move to Philly International did wonders for Lou's career – and there's no denying that the smooth soul sound of Gamble and Huff worked perfectly with his rich vocal style! The "classy" setting took Lou to a whole new level, while also providing a good force for his still-soulfu ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Life On Mars – 45s Collection (2 x 7 inch set) ... 7-inch Philadelphia International/Dynamite Cuts (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2 x 7 inch set (pic cover, reissue)... Out Of Stock
A special four track, double 7" single version of Life On Mars – fantastic bit of space age funk – and maybe one of the greatest moments ever from Philly Soul maestro Dexter Wansel! The album goes way beyond any of Wansel's other work – and blends his warm soulful styles ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Philadelphia International, 1977. Near Mint- ... $5.99
Brilliant work from Philly arranger Dexter Wansel – an album that moves the focus back to soul a bit more than on his Life On Mars set, but which also keeps in plenty of jazzy touches! Dexter's groove here is similar to the best work he did with other Philly vocalists in the same time – ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Slow Motion (part 1)/Philadelphia International, 1972. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Funky funky Philly! Not only is this single one of the most obscure on Philadelphia International, it's also one of the hardest – as Johnny sounds more like a Memphis or Macon soul singer than anyone who ever recorded in the city of Brotherly Love. "Slow Motion" begins with ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Philadelphia International/Sony (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
