Tidal Waves, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $12.99 25.99
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
Apostles —
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cantilever/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99
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

Loleatta Holloway —
Cry To Me (180 gram clear vinyl pressing) ... LP Aware/Tidal Waves, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A wonderful album of southern soul from Loleatta Holloway! The record was her last in the deep soul mode – and it's a gem that should have made her as big as her later disco records – a really well-crafted extension of styles that Stax and Atlantic had done in the 60s, but given a ...

(Limited edition of 250 – on clear heavyweight vinyl!)
Jam A Ditty/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99
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

Thelonious Monk —
Palais Des Beaux-Arts 1963 (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tidal Waves, 1963. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The first-ever issue of this rare live set from the legendary Thelonious Monk Quartet of the 60s – the same group that cut some incredible albums for Columbia Records, sounding equally great here in a concert setting in Paris! The group features tremendous tenor work from Charlie Rouse ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Antonio L Newton —
Novaphonia ... LP 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

Mysticism & Romance (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tidal Waves, 1978. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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 ...

Pharoah Sanders —
Moon Child (180 gram pressing) ... LP Timeless/Tidal Waves, 1989. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Beautiful late 80s work from Pharoah – a wonderfully uncomplicated session that still has a great degree of soul! The album was recorded in Paris, with a quintet that includes William Henderson on acoustic piano, Stafford James on bass, Eddie Moore on drums, and Cheikh Tidiane Fale on ...

Shock —
Electrophonic Funk (180 gram pressing) ... LP Nebula Circle/Tidal Waves, 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The debut album from Shock – a Portland funky combo who would go on to release a few more albums on Fantasy Records, but who maybe sound their best here at the start! Shock have the look of some guys hanging out in leisure suits in the VIP lounge at Studio 54, but their sound is much sharper ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nina Simone —
Very Rare Evening ... LP Tidal Waves, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 25.99
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

Earthquake/Tidal Waves, 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 29.99
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

Cedar Walton —
Eastern Rebellion (180 gram pressing) ... LP Timeless/Tidal Waves, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A seminal work in the development of the career of Cedar Walton – the formation of his excellent Eastern Rebellion ensemble, a group that became a platform for soul jazz expression for the next two decades! The group on this set features George Coleman on tenor, Sam Jones on bass, and Billy ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
