Honky Tonk (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Polydor, 1972. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An old track – redone as a funky 70s killer from James Brown! The track starts out in a JBs party mode – with some dialogue before the band starts playing, then hitting a "Funky Good Time" groove. Over the top, you'll get some hard raw guitar soloing – very much in the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Out Of The Storm ... CD Universal/Polydor (UK), 1974. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the most mind-expanding albums we've ever heard from Jack Bruce – a really strong outing from 1974, one that shows him growing and growing as an artists in his years away from Cream! The tracks have a feel that's a bit more wiry than some of Bruce's other solo work – stripped ... (Rock) read more CD

Polydor/Universal (Japan), Early 70s. Used 2CDs ... $34.99
A fantastic early solo project from guitarist Roy Buchanan – recorded for Polydor at the start of the 70s, but never issued at the time! We're not sure why the label slept on the set, as it's a searing little killer right from the start – done in a gritty mode that's far hipper than ... (Rock) read more CD

A record filled with cover images that run from Richard Nixon to Elvis Presley, to Mick Jagger, Caetano Veloso, Chairman Mao, Jorge Ben, Jimi Hendrix, and Andy Warhol – and a set whose sound definitely seems to live up to such heady company from the 20th century!

Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
Classic work from one of Brazil's greatest soul singers of the 70s – an album of rich feeling that's a wonderful bridge between American soul music and some of the sophisticated song stylings of the MPB generation! Cassiano's somewhere in the territory of contemporary Tim Maia – but is ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Polydor, 1968. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A legendary batch of funky rock tracks – noteworthy not only for production by Jimi Hendrix, but also for the group's insanely great groove!

Jungle Fever/Polydor, 1973. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Massive funkiness from the early 70s! "Jungle Fever" is one of those cuts that we never tire of – with pounding slow funk drums that still send a shiver down our spine. "Cha Ka Cha" is a slow Latin groover – with almost an LA Chicano funk sound. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Polydor/Medical, 1977. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Icy cool Italian new wave from husband & wife duo Chrisma – lots of great synth noir grooves that predates the massive pop crossover of this kind of sound by a handful of years – and it's truly underappreciated all these years later!

Children Of Forever ... CD Polydor, 1973. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Quite possibly the hippest album that Stanley Clarke ever cut – a stretched-out soulful batch of jazz-tinged tracks – very much in the same spirit as the more righteous soul jazz underground of the time! In a way, the record would be much more at home on a label like Strata East than ... (Jazz) read more CD

Easily the hippest of the Clarke-Boland Big Band Records from the classic years – a set of hard grooving tracks that really pushes the envelope of their style!
