Andre & Josi —
Amandla (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Tidal Waves, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A classic collaboration between Josi Ndlovu and Andre Abrahamse – both artists who had long roots in a variety of West African groups and projects before this set – and find a way to draw on that work while also finding new energy together in the studio! The tunes have a subtle, ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
EMI/Tidal Waves, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
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 ...

Just Sunshine/Tidal Waves, 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99
An early musical moment from the Arica Institute – a spiritual collective whose many members supposedly recorded this album over the course of a night spent at the Electric Lady studio – with such a shifting lineup of sounds and participants, the album doesn't list any particular ...

Art Blakey —
Chippin In (clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Timeless/Tidal Waves, 1990. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Late Art Blakey – but great Blakey too, as Art never faltered a minute in the later years of his life, and continued to work with some of the best younger players he could find! Here, Art's leading a lineup that includes Brian Lynch on trumpet, Frank Lacy and Steve Davis on trombone, Javon ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

PS Records/Tidal Waves, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 26.99
A pretty hip batch of soul jazz tracks – recorded by drummer Frank Derrick live at Fiddler's nightclub in Chicago. Derrick's group plays a bit of everything – from Eddie Harris funky jazz to driving big band numbers to organ-heavy soul jazz numbers – all with a nicely heavy ...

Exile One —
Exile One (180 gram pressing) ... LP Disques Debs/Tidal Waves, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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

Just Sunshine/Tidal Waves, 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $25.99 29.99
Mellow soul, sweeping strings, and sweet electric keys – a stone 70s classic from Norman Feels – one of the greatest soul singers you've never heard before! The album's Norman's first (of two), and is a vastly under-recognized gem – the kind of record that easily stands next to ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500!)
Just Sunshine/Tidal Waves, 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 30.98
Genius work from Norman Feels – a virtually unknown mellow soul singer from the 70s, but one who should have been huge! Norman sings with this sweetly crackling style that we loved the moment we first heard it – a sound that's somewhere in territory covered by Marvin Gaye or Leroy ...

Harari —
Genesis ... LP Tidal Waves, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... On November 19, 2021
Quinn Harris —
Statements (180 gram pressing) ... LP Cantilever/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the rare west coast sets from Quinn Harris from the 70s – an artist who looks pretty darn badass on the cover, and who sounds very much the same on the grooves of the record! Quinn's both a singer and a saxophonist – and he mixes tenor and flute solos in with the lyrics, which ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Westbound/Tidal Waves, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 About December 3, 2021
Maybe the greatest moment ever from Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins – a key part of the George Clinton P-Funk universe in the 70s – finally getting a chance to step out on his own! Haskins arranged and produced the set – with a bit of arranging help from Bernie Worrell – ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited to 1000 copies.)
Timeless/Tidal Waves, 1990. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... On November 26, 2021
The title alone is more than enough to win us over here – as it's a great Duke Pearson composition that turns out to be a wonderful showcase for the most lyrical modes of pianist John Hicks! That tune's the leadoff, and it really sets the tone for the record – a gently soulful set that ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

JPQ (Jimmy Person Quintet) —
Quintessence (180 gram clear pressing) ... LP Jam A Ditty/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really cool combo from the Carolina scene – headed up by singer/guitarist Jimmy Person, and working here in a mode that's a lot tighter and groovier than most other soul acts of the period! The group played local bars and restaurants – indicated by a reproduction of one of their ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tidal Waves, Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... On November 26, 2021
Hard funky soul with an Afrobeat backbone from Matata – who arrived on the London scene (via Kenya) in the mid 70s! Matata leaned mightily on the JBs for their groove, and laid out a heavy, rock solid variation on JBs funk with an African percussion base of congas and bongos at the core! ...

Tidal Waves, 1987. New Copy ... $23.99 26.99
A soul record, but one with a fair bit of "something else" going on as well – and a set that was originally only issued on cassette, which might be why it was missed the first time around! Antonio L Newton, aka Tony Newton, has a long legacy in soul music – including work ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500!)
Tidal Waves, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 29.99
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
Howard Roberts —
Lord Shango – Original Soundtrack (180 gram clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Bryan/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
One of the most unique soundtracks of the blacksploitation generation – but maybe that's also because the film Lord Shango was also somewhat different than most – a hipper, more creative movie that took on a number of themes, which are all echoed by Howard Roberts in his music! This ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nina Simone —
Very Rare Evening ... LP Tidal Waves, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A very rare evening indeed – a sweet little live set recorded by Nina Simone during her soulful height at RCA – but issued years after that time, and only briefly on a small indie label! The setting here is wonderful – a small combo in the background with the great Weldon Irvine ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
DC Records/Tidal Waves, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 30.98
A rare funky gem from this obscure Florida group – a combo with roots in the more-famous Winstons – that legendary group who gave the world "Amen Brother" at the end of the 60s! The work here is equally funky, but in a different sort of way – tight 70s ensemble funk, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sylk —
Sylk (clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Earthquake/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The only album ever issued by Sylk – a southern group with a sound that's tight, but never too slick – nicely indie from production to conception, and very different than other mainstream soul records from the time! The record's part of the great underground tradition of homegrown soul ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lightnin/Tidal Waves, 1985. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
An obscure later set from Texas legend Bubbha Thomas – a drummer you'll know from his work with the legendary Lightmen group in the 70s – working here in an 80s-styled extrapolation of some of the ideas from that previous combo! The music is much leaner than before – heavy on ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pat Thomas —
Stage Two (180 gram clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Tidal Waves, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Mad funky genius from Ghanian singer Pat Thomas – an artist who first rose to fame in the group of Ebo Taylor, and who's maybe even more fantastic here in the spotlight in the lead! The cover of the album maybe looks a bit more like a 60s photograph than the 70s stretch in which it was ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brazil By Music – Fly Cruzeiro (180 gram clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Cruzeiro/Tidal Waves, Mid 70s. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really unique little album – one that features sounds created in collaboration between Marcos Valle and Azymuth – all done as a specialty album for an airline in Brazil! The sound is breezy and dreamy – different than some of Azymuth's earliest music, but not that far off ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Eastbound/Tidal Waves, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $12.99 26.99
An obscure bit of heavy soul – and the only vocal album on the jazz-based Eastbound imprint of Detroit's legendary Westbound Records! Albert's a blues artist, and sings in a soulful electric style that's similar to some of the Stax work of Albert King – but which has a bit more of a ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
