Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $7.99 16.99
Fantastic funky soul from a very mysterious figure – Georgia's Nathan Bartell, a singer with a deep soul style, and an under-exposed legacy that mostly involves a few indie label singles, and countless work in the smaller clubs of his state! The blend of music here is a bit different than ... (Soul) read more CD

Brief Encounter —
Singles – Disco, Modern, & Deep Soul 45s Collection – 1973 to 1977 ... LP Athens Of The North (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
If you don't know the music of Brief Encounter, prepare for a revelation – as the group were relatively obscure, even back in their prime – but managed to cut some of the hippest soul records that were ever issued on the Carolina scene! Brief Encounter aren't southern soul or combo ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Billy Bruner ... CD Athens Of The North (UK), Early 80s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Billy Bruner looks nice and relaxed on the cover – and his grooves are nice and relaxed, too – but maybe that's just how they make their music in Billy's hometown of Tulsa! The set's got a sweet blend of 80s soul and mellow boogie – never too over the top, and handled with a nice ... (Soul) read more CD

Coast To Coast ... LP Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Rare work from a group who maybe never made it from coast to coast during their short time together in the 70s – but who recorded the wonderful tracks on this set, which are served up here in a really great blend of vocal and instrumental numbers! The group have a great way with a mellow ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Athens Of The North (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
A very cool collaboration between Greg Foat and James Thorpe – a set that's billed more as a sound library session than some of Foat's other jazz projects – even though the sound is equally appealing if you love those records too! The set is self-described as "futuristic analogue ... (Jazz) read more CD

Slow Hot Wind/
Sidney/Athens Of The North (UK), 1974. New Copy (pic cover)... Out Of Stock
Two of the best tracks from the Portrait Of A Gemini album from Penny Goodwin – back to back on a funky 45 for the first time ever!

Warren Hampshire —
Language Of The Birds ... CD Athens Of The North (UK), 2021. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A solo album from Warren Hampshire, recorded right around the same time as his collaborations with Greg Foat, but done with a very different vibe! The set's got a nicely pastoral approach – slow building sounds that are somewhere between spiritual and meditative modes, with work from ... (Jazz) read more CD

Galaxies Like Grains Of Sand ... LP Athens Of The North (UK), 2017. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Spacey sounds from the dream team of Warren Hampshire and Greg Foat – a set that feels a bit like music that Foat previously recorded under his own name, but which also has a more spiritual sound overall! Hampshire plays guitar and auto harp, and Foat plays Fender Rhodes, vibes, and other ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Athens Of The North (UK), 2018. Near Mint- ... $19.99
The team of Warren Hampshire and Greg Foat have already given us some amazing music on record – but this strangely-titled set may well be their crowning achievement so far! The set's got kind of a creepy look and feel – and a layout that replicates some of the more sophisticated UK ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Honey vinyl pressing!)
Athens Of The North (UK), 2021. New Copy ... $16.99 32.99
"Mono" might seem to be a strange word to use in relation to the music of Linkwood – as his sets always have a very spacious, stretched-out sort of sound – one that's hardly the stuff of a one-channel recording! Yet here, Linkwood strips things down in a nice way – ... (New Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s. Sealed ... $4.99
James McKenzie looks a bit down to earth on the cover, but he sounds a lot more high-end on record – a budding blue-eyed soul singer, with a strong penchant for AOR production – but always served up in a homegrown style that's nice and lean! Were he working in LA in the late 70s, James ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s. New Copy ... $24.99 29.99
A funky soul gem from one of those underground groups who seemed to be able to take on any sort of style with effortless ease – stepping easily here between upbeat funk, soaring club grooves, and some deeper soul moments that really help ground the whole thing! The production is often nice ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tempus/Athens Of The North (UK), 1981. New Copy ... $9.99 19.99
A sweet bit of funky soul from the Florida scene in the early 80s – a completely charming modern soul effort that's quite different than the bigger Miami hits of the decade before! These guys have a sense of integrity that comes through in their look on the cover – unassuming, and very ... (Soul) read more CD
Symplex/Athens Of The North (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $8.99 19.99
A rare set issued on a tiny label from Arkansas – but a set that's got all the charm, poise, and sparkle of some of the best deep soul on late 70s Columbia Records! Stuckey's got a touch of southern soul in his voice, with a sweet cracking sound – and that honest approach is mixed with ... (Soul) read more CD

Original Friends & Buddies ... LP Glades/Athens Of The North (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the most unique albums to ever come out of the Miami soul scene of the 70s – a sublime set of work that we'd easily rank right up there with the best material of the time from Donny Hathaway or Stevie Wonder! Milton Wright has a really jazzy groove to his music – and he mixes ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A really fantastic idea for a compilation – a set that brings together obscure covers of funk and soul tunes – mostly from the late 70s/early 80s generation, and mostly in a laidback, soul-stepping style! If you're a lover of rare groove, you'll recognize plenty of the songs, but not ... (Funky Compilations) read more CD
Athens Of The North (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A sweet selection of lovers rock tracks that take on big soul hits of the 70s – tunes that often have a bubbling bit of reggae in the rhythms, but which always feature a strong soul-based singer right up front! The tunes offer up not just a great example of the way that lovers rock could ... (Funky Compilations) read more CD
Athens Of The North (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99
Igloo Records was a teeny tiny label on the LA scene of the early 70s – but all of its releases turned out to be killers – most handled by the hip-looking Leon Gardner on the cover! The music is often heavy with the kind of deep funk you'd expect from rare singles at the time – ... (Funky Compilations) read more LP, Vinyl record album
