Tamla, 1970. Very Good ... $29.99
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
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has a cut corner, a small split on the top seam, and light wear.)
Tamla (Japan), 1975. New Copy ... $13.99
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

Marvin Gaye —
In Our Lifetime ... LP Tamla, 1981. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Marvin Gaye's last album for Motown – and a wonderful cap to a great run of sexy soul for the 70s – filled with great mellow grooves that rival the genius of his earlier work in the decade! There's a glowing, slow-burning feel to some of the best numbers here – a vibe that's ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marvin Gaye Live! ... LP Tamla, 1974. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A wonderful 70s live album from Marvin Gaye – a set that was as expansive, ambitious, and sophisticated as his studio work from the time! The album's put together almost like a 3-sided portrait of Marvin – in that it begins with a long section of current work, moves into a "fossil ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Marvin Gaye On Stage – Recorded Live ... LP Tamla, 1963. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
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 ...

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! Marvin and Tammi have a way of singing together that makes you feel like they're speaking the tunes, not singing them – a personal ... (Soul) read more CD

Marvin Gaye with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, and Tammi —
Marvin Gaye & His Girls ... LP Tamla, 1969. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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!

Tamla/Motown, 1964. Near Mint- ... $7.99
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 ...

(Reissue pressing.)
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. Near Mint- ... $4.99
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

Eddie Kendricks —
All By Myself (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Tamla/LMLR (France), 1971. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The first solo album that Eddie Kendricks cut after leaving The Temptations – and a great one! Motown genius Frank Wilson produced the whole album, and it's got a really unified feel that you don't always get on Motown albums – possibly proof that the label was really invested in ...

Smokey Robinson —
Love Breeze ... LP Tamla, 1978. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Love Breeze finds Smokey effortlessly cutting back and forth from a funky 70s dancefloor soul mode to more delicate, classic soul steeped numbers and slow jams. He does it all very well on a set we overlooked for too many years! Titles include "Why You Wanna See My Bad Side", "Feeli ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Smokey ... LP Tamla, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Fantastic solo work from Smokey Robinson – recorded a few years before his monumental Quiet Storm album, but with a very similar high level of quality!

Tamla, 1972. Very Good 2LP Gatefold ... $4.99
A nice little live set – recorded in 1972, right at the end of Smokey's association with The Miracles.

Tamla (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... $13.99

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles —
Time Out ... LP Tamla, 1969. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Kind of a mixed bag of numbers from Smokey and the group – who are clearly searching around here for a new sound that will take them into the 70s, working in a number of different modes – all of them still pretty nice, thanks to the always-great vocal talents of the group.

Fulfillingness' First Finale ... LP Tamla, 1974. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Hotter Than July ... LP Tamla, 1980. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 ...

Innervisions ... LP Tamla, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $39.99
One of the best Stevie Wonder albums ever! Stevie's moving into god-like territory here – handling a multitude of styles, all well, and crafting some of the most sophisticated soul of his generation.

Songs In The Key Of Life ... LP Tamla, 1976. Very Good- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A sweet little double LP – one that had some folks saying that Stevie should have stayed away from the "2LP syndrome", but for us a real treasure with lots of hidden gems.

Talking Book ... LP Tamla, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
One of the classics, and an album that's filled with a sense of majesty and power that will knock you dead – despite the kind of silly cover of Stevie sitting on a hill, playing in the dirt! By this point, Stevie knows he's on top of the world as well he should – and he's honing the ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hard-swinging soul from mid 60s Stevie Wonder – and an album that really helped establish Stevie as a vocal star on his own!
