Hard Not To Like It ... LP 
Philadelphia International, 1977. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 ... 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.

Where Will You Go When The Party's Over ... LP Philadelphia International, 1976. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An excellent set of midtempo soul tracks recorded at Sigma Sound – and probably the group's greatest album for Philly International!

City Limits —
Circles ... LP Philadelphia International, 1976. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Not one of the most famous groups on the Philly scene – but a great one! The band's got a two-male/two-female harmony sound, with some nice jazzy inflections that remind us of similarly-structured groups, like Side Effect and Creative Source during their Polygram years. The album's got a ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Don Covay —
Travelin' in Heavy Traffic ... LP Philadelphia International, 1976. Sealed Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A great record, and an interesting move for Don Covay – a singer who started out as a fairly straightforward soul performer, then got a bit bluesier in the early 70s, then shifted back to a more pop-oriented groove before stepping over to this unique album for Philly International! This one's ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dee Dee Sharp Gamble —
Dee Dee ... LP Philadelphia International, 1980. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An album that makes us think that after marrying Kenny Gamble, Dee Dee Sharp seemed to inherit his smooth Philly soul style as part of the family – as her records for Philly International are head and shoulders above her earlier work as a girl singer in the 60s!

What Color Is Love ... LP Philadelphia International, 1977. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Dee Dee's come a long way from "The Mashed Potato Time" here – emerging as a full-blown modern soul artist, with the same sort of sophisticated twist as other Philly girl singers, like Jean Carn or The Jones Girls.

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