For Sale ... LP Uni, 1968. Very Good+ ...
$19.99
A very cool record – not the blues rock album you might expect from the group's name, although there's definitely some bluesy influences – but instead one of those really weird mixes of modes that you'll find in the best Uni groups of the period! There's some great organ and some very ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Big Black —
Lion Walk ... LP Uni, 1968. Very Good+ ...
Just Sold Out!
One of the weirdest, wildest albums from percussionist Big Black – a set that stretches out with a vibe that's a lot trippier and jazzier at times than some of his other work! Part of the album's strength comes from the arrangements – which are partly handled by Phil Moore, an artist ... (Soul) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the coolest albums ever from percussionist Big Black – a set that features some great flute work from Black Harold, a player you might alsop know from ESP recordings!

A funky masterpiece from Bill Cosby – hardly the sort of record you might expect from all of his years on mainstream TV! This set was cut back when Bill was a much hipper cat on the LA scene – and it was the start of a brief all-instrumental run with his Badfoot Brown ensemble – ... (Soul) read moreCD
A fantastic early reggae hit – and a classic bit of rocksteady that never grows old! Desmond was one of the first artists to really crack the global charts, and this American pressing of "Israelites" is more than proof of his popularity – as well as a great little tune! (Reggae) 7-inch, Vinyl record
One of those very cool, very obscure albums on Uni at the end of the 60s – a set co-produced by early hit rocker Buzz Clifford and the group's guitarist, Dan Moore. Titles include "Heavy Love", "Can't Feel Love", "Is My Love Strong", and "Move Like ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of those very cool late 60s psych albums on Uni – and a set that begins with a cool fake news report around the titular Giant Crab – then launches into some hip songs that loosely follow a concept theme! Ernie Orosco handles lead vocals, and there's a nice mix of guitars, including ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A real departure in the career of Brian Hyland – and light years away from his earlier fame as a teen pop singer! The Hyland of this record is a brooding one – mature, sometimes slightly folksy – but also able to draw on a wealth of soul, blues, and other musical references that ... (Rock) read moreCD

A stone winner – on both sides! You already know Hugh's classic "Grazing In The Grass", one of the all-time great Afro Pop numbers – with trademark loud cowbell and wonderful off-beat horn sounds.

One of the funkier albums by African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, and a record that's filled with lots of short little groovers that have more of an edge than on previous pop instrumental albums – much more of the hard funky vibe of the Chisa years!

Classic work from Hugh Masekela – and the album that pushed him over the top!

The tenor of the times is in the title of this one – as "Riot" is a darker number than some of Hugh's other hits, but no less funky, with a brace of trumpets blaring over the top, and chunky beats that have that great scatter shot sound of his Uni work! "Mace" is a ... (Funky 45's) read more7-inch, Vinyl record
A nice bit of funky rock from the late 60s – with touches of soul, and some jazzy horns in the mix too! The vocals get a bit white boy soul at most times – but the backing is pretty nice, and the group have a raw funky sound on the best tunes. There's a nice cover of "I Thank ...
