Black Is Beautiful (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
EMI/Tidal Waves, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A tight little set from one of the grooviest groups on the Nigerian scene of the 70s – a combo who could play with a familiar mix of fuzz and funk, but also throw in some deeper soul touches on the vocals – in a way that makes the whole album a much richer set than work by some of their ...

Tidal Waves, 1984. New Copy (reissue)... On August 29, 2020
A great overlooked session – with excellent piano from Michel Grallier! (Note: Record Store Day 2020 has been rescheduled to separate special release days of August 29, September 26 and October 24. The specific release date for each previously announced title is yet to be announced and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gary Chandler —
Outlook ... LP Eastbound/Tidal Waves, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Maybe the only album ever issued under the name of trumpeter Gary Chandler – but a smoking little set that rivals some of the best jazz funk records at the start of the 70s – including heavyweight classics on Prestige by Melvin Sparks, Leon Spencer, and Boogaloo Joe Jones! The feel ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tidal Waves, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
An album that's every bit as great as you'd guess from the cover and the title – a hip set recorded on the Philly scene of the 70s, and this wonderful blend of jazz, soul, and plenty of percussion! Malaku Thompson plays the drums, but there's also plenty of other percussion on the record ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Disques Debs/Tidal Waves, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 29.98
The fantastic first album from Exile One – a group who recorded more mainstream work in Paris later in their career – but who really sound fierce and funky here right at the start! The sound is lean, stripped-down, and a lot more aimed towards American soul than you'd guess from their ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tidal Waves, 1971. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99
An insane treat for any fan of the early years of the P-Funk empire – that time when George Clinton and crew were taking in plenty of trippy influences from the heady Detroit scene of the time – and fusing it all into their own really unique blend of soul! The set features the group ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Wendell Harrison —
Dreams Of A Love Supreme (180 gram pressing – with bonus track) ... LP Wenha/Tidal Waves, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Pretty great stuff – even though Wendall Harrison has strayed far from the Tribe Records sound of his earlier years! The record takes the spiritual post-Coltrane jazz of Harrison's earlier days, and infuses it with a smooth fusion approach that's clearly an attempt to reach a wider audience ...

Aware/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy ... On August 29, 2020
A wonderful album of southern soul from Loleatta Holloway! The record was her last in the mode – and it's a gem that should have made her as big as her later disco records. The record was produced by Floyd Smith, and it's got some of the most sophisticated production we've heard on a ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Aware/Tidal Waves, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.98
If you only know Loleatta Holloway as a disco singer, you'll be really amazed at this debut album from 1973 – because Loleatta emerges first as deep soul singer with a strong southern vibe – very much in the mode the Atlanta scene did best, before picking up the pace a bit more as the ...

King Hannibal —
Truth ... LP Aware/Tidal Waves, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Mad funky soul from King Hannibal – a down and dirty singer from the Atlanta scene of the 70s! The notes on the back say "He's black, he's proud, he's arrogant – the combination is powerful" – and we've gotta say that we agree with that assessment, because King really ...

Flying Dutchman/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... About July 3, 2020
A fantastic transformation of the Oliver Nelson sound of the 60s – a large ensemble record that takes all the soul of his earlier groove, and reworks it with a more electric vibe for the 70s! Nelson's at the height of his powers here – working brilliantly as a leader and arranger, to ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tidal Waves, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.99
An obscure funky fusion album from bassist Tony Newton – with a wild look that grabs you instantly! Tony plays this weird double-bass, and he's pictured with the instrument on the cover – looking like some super-heavy righteous dude that escaped from The Headhunters. The record ...

How Do You Feel (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polydor/Tidal Waves, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.98
The fourth and final album from Ofege – and a set that shows the Nigerian group still very much at the top of their game – soaring out on fast funk rhythms that often echo American styles of the time, but with a lot more edge – and produced with all these cool trippy touches ...

Bobby Patterson —
Storyteller (180 gram pressing) ... LP Proud/Tidal Waves, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A late rare gem from southern soul genius Bobby Patterson – the Texas talent who's best known for his work of the late 60s and early 70s, but who's featured here on a self-released album from the start of the 80s! The approach is a bit like the shift that Malaco Records was making in ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tidal Waves, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
A set recorded in Paris during the early 80s – but headed up by an American saxophonist, and done with a vibe that's like the best spiritual jazz modes of the 70s! Byron Pope has a compelling legacy that includes work with Burton Greene and Alan Silva – but he's definitely his own man ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tidal Waves, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.99
A really unique album from Mack Porter – a singer born in Ghana, but working here on the Swiss scene, where he'd landed after late 60s work in other European cities! The music is this very unusual hybrid of rock and soul, with a mixture of acoustic elements and larger orchestrations – ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Purple Image —
Purple Image ... LP Tidal Waves, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A key album in the post-Hendrix tradition of funky black rock – and the only album ever recorded by Cleveland's Purple Image! The approach here follows nicely in the same territory worked by Funkadelic and Fugi in the early days – a heady, fuzzed-up blend of trippy guitars, heavy ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Real ShooBeeDoo (Reggie Fields) —
Reminiscing (180 gram pressing) ... LP Wenha/Tidal Waves, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An obscure set from the Detroit scene of the early 80s – a jazz record, but one with a nice current of soul – thanks to work on both bass and vocals from Reginald "ShooBeeDoo" Fields! Wendell Harrison recorded the record, and also plays tenor on the record – but the set' ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

An obscure bit of heavy soul – and the only vocal album on the jazz-based Eastbound imprint of Detroit's legendary Westbound Records!
