Great Expectations ... LP 
Tamla, 1970. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest blue-eyed soul albums ever on Motown – featuring early work by British singer Kiki Dee, better known for her later hit with Elton John! Kiki here sounds much more like a Motown soul act than on later work – singing with a wonderfully smooth style that fits the motor ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tamla/Reel Music, 1975. Used ... $8.99
Heavy heavy funk from the mighty Yvonne Fair – a 70s bad soul sister that we'd rank right up there with Betty Davis! Yvonne got her start working with James Brown in a sweeter mode, but by the time of this mid 70s debut, she'd hit a really hard-wailing sort of style – one that had the ... (Soul) read more CD

Greatest Hits (UK pressing) ... LP Tamla/Motown (UK), Mid/Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Tamla, 1963. Very Good ... $44.99
One of the best of the 60s live sets from Motown – a sublime showcase for the talents of a young Marvin Gaye! There's a feel here that's a bit looser, and almost a bit rougher than some of Marvin's other records from the time – and there's almost a bit more force in his vocals than on ...

(Original 2 globes pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and a partially split bottom seam.)
Tamla, 1970s. Sealed ... $19.99
Great cuts from the second decade of Marvin Gaye's career at Motown – really magic numbers pulled from that 70s period when he was really taking off with his music! There's a righteous undercurrent here that goes way beyond the simple soul of the 60s – and the set offers a great cross-s ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Shrinkwrap has a vintage sale sticker. Cover has a cutout notch.)
Tamla, 1966. Very Good ... $24.99
The moods of Marvin Gaye are many, even at this early point in his career – as the set has the young Marvin really taking off strongly – hitting hard on classic Motown groovers, but also showing a sensitive side at times too! The album kicks off with some killer rhythms on cuts like ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marvin Gaye —
Tribute To The Great Nat King Cole ... LP Tamla, 1965. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Marvin Gaye shows another wonderful side of his talents in the early Motown years – a classy, crooing approach that was perfect for this tribute to Nat King Cole! There's a great mix of jazz and soul going on here that's a bit different than some of Marvin's other Motown work of the 60s ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marvin Marvin Marvin – just when we thought you couldn't impress us any more, you took it to the next level!

Tamla/Universal (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... $13.99
Fantastic soul duets between Marvin & Tammi Terrell – a landmark pair in 60s soul music, and easily one of the best male/female duos in pop music ever!

A classic batch of Motown duets from Marvin Gaye and some of his best female co-stars – with a few contributions a piece from Mary Wells, Kim Weston, and Tammi Terrell!

Brenda Holloway —
Every Little Bit Hurts ... CD Tamla/Motown (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Classic heartbreaking soul from Brenda Holloway – one of the weepiest early records on Motown, as you might guess from the title! The style here is almost more New York uptown than Detroit at times – a fair bit like Maxine Brown with its mix of strength and fragility on the vocals, and ... (Soul) read more CD

Tamla/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1976. New Copy ... $12.99
Smoking Motown work from Thelma Houston – a great 70s set that catches the singer at the top of her groove! The album's polished, but never in a too-commercial way – and the grooves acknowledge the growing role of the dancefloor in mainstream soul, yet also mostly stay away from some ... (Soul) read more CD
Tamla, 1979. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A bold little set from Thelma Houston – produced with a strong disco finish, in a way that makes the best of her fierce diva vocals! The album's got a unity that's nicely appreciated – especially since some of Houston's other records could be a bit too unfocused or overblown – ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

The Isley Brothers on Motown – a really key step forward for the group, who find a whole new level of soul with help from the Holland Dozier Holland team!

Tamla, 1976. Sealed ... $14.99
A soaring set from the great Eddie Kendricks – and a record that brings his Detroit roots into play with the best Philly grooves of the time – thanks to production from the mighty Norman Harris!

Eddie Kendricks —
Hit Man ... LP Tamla, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Eddie certainly was the "hit man" on this one – a tight album of hard stepping soul tracks, mostly cut in Eddie's famous "boogie" mode of the mid 70s! The cuts mix wonderful soul vocals with some tight jazzy instrumentation – laid down by players like Wah Wah Ragin, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Kendricks —
People Hold On ... LP Tamla, 1972. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A truly amazing album – unlike anything Eddie Kendricks ever did before, or since – and one of those records that really helped shape the sound of soul in the 70s!

Miracles —
Renaissance ... LP Tamla, 1973. Very Good Gatefold ... $2.99
An incredible album from The Miracles – truly the Renaissance that's promised in the title, and proof that they could do amazing things away from Smokey!

Smokey Robinson —
Smokey's Family Robinson ... LP Tamla, 1976. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Smokey's Family Robinson finds Smokey exploring rather than simply setting out to continue riding the waves made by Quiet Storm. There's bits of dancefloor funk, pared down keyboard soul, spacey jams and a sweet ballad or two – all with Smokey's soul strirring vocals in peak form. Titles ...

Tamla, 1966. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A key set in the second chapter of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – that time when the group moved from the mellow ballads that were their first early strength, into some dancefloor stormers that easily made them one of the most favored Motown acts of the time! Smokey definitely takes ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tamla, 1971. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $16.99
Hip stuff by Smokey – recorded at the beginning of the 70s, but with some cuts from the glory days of the 60s. The album includes classics like "Tears Of A Clown" and "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game" – but the best tracks are the mellow, more modern ones, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tamla, 1971. Sealed ... $11.99
A classic early bit of soul from the Ashford & Simpson team – even though the record is billed under the name of Valerie Simpson as a solo act!

Syreeta —
Set My Love In Motion ... LP Tamla, 1981. Very Good+ ... $3.99
An obscure later album by Syreeta – but still a great one! The lady's moving into an 80s groove on most of these cuts – but she's still got that sweet heavenly vocal approach, very similar to Minnie Riperton, whose late style she's taking up on a number of the album's smooth, well ...

Stevie Wonder —
For Once In My Life ... LP Tamla, 1968. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The title tune on this one should be enough – as it was a key track in the transformation of Stevie Wonder from a younger novelty act at Motown to the adult powerhouse that would take the world by storm in the 70s! The album's got a soaring, almost righteous quality that grabs you from the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stevie Wonder —
Hotter Than July ... LP Tamla, 1980. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
A bit smoother than early days, but still very nice and soulful – and did we expect any less from Stevie? The record's got a nicely flanged-out soul groove – with a style that kind of expands on the vocal and keyboard production of the early 70s, taking the groove towards a sound that ...

Tamla, 1985. Used ... $4.99
Mid 80s, and while never that bad (nothing Stevie does is ever terrible – well, except for "Don't Drive Drunk"!), the record lacks that certain greatness that you'll find on even the lesser Stevie Wonder albums. Still, there's some decent enough numbers that keep the album fresh ... (Soul) read more CD

Tamla, 1979. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $9.99
Very high concept work from Stevie Wonder! The record is, in fact, about the "secret life of plants" – partially used as a soundtrack for a film of the same name, but also acting as kind of a storybook in itself! Stevie's exploring a wide range of plant life and plant themes on ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tamla, 1963. Near Mint- ... $14.99
An amazing early record from Stevie Wonder – the kind of set that shows what raw power and starmanship he had even at a wee wee age!
