Gotta Groove (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Volt/Craft, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Amazing work from the new version of The Bar-Kays – a group who reformed to become a combo as heavy as any of the best funky groups from Detroit, LA, or New York at the time! There's a style here that's a sweet Memphis distillation of ideas bubbling under in music by Sly Stone, Funkadelic, ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fania/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... On October 23, 2020
A great Ray Barretto album from 1972 – one that beautifully showcases the master percussionist as he effortlessly shifts between Latin soul and 70's salsa styles! The group's nice and lean – with Adalberto Santiago on vocals, Papy Roman on trumpet, Louis Cruz on piano, and the great ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Ardent/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
The amazing first album from Big Star – a set that came out of nowhere, made hardly a ripple on the charts, yet went onto crash in big waves of sound for generations to come! The style here is unlike thing else before – hardly what you'd expect from the group's Memphis roots or Alex ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
James Booker —
Classified ... LP Rounder/Craft, 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 21.99
Later work from New Orleans legend James Booker – but a set that may well be one of his greatest records ever – a real back to basics effort recorded with a hands-off approach that almost makes you feel like you're catching Booker in some small club down off the Quarter! James plays ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work!

An incredible collection of records – a series of albums that forever changed the sound of Latin music around the world!

Willie Colon —
Hustler (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania/Craft, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Brilliant early work from a young Willie Colon – a true hustler if there ever was one! The album has an amazing energy that really bridges a number of Latin scenes – it's part descarga jamming, part Latin soul, and part traditional Latin – put together with a no-nonsense approach ...

By the mid 70s, the New York Latin scene was boomin' so large it could easily fill venues like Yankee Stadium – as you'll hear on this excellent live set from the Fania All-Stars, a monster record that easily ranks with the best live Latin sides of the time – like Eddie Palmieri at Sing ...

Fantasy/Craft, 1965. New Copy ... On October 9, 2020
An amazing record – one with a depth that goes way beyond its simple roots, and which has gone on to become one of the true Christmas classics of the 20th Century! Although a Christmas soundtrack, the album's more of a tapestry of sadness, longing, and loss – the best qualities that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Isaac Hayes —
Shaft (2CD deluxe edition) ... CD Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy 2 CDs ... $22.99 24.99
A landmark album that hardly needs any introduction – as it's one of the most famous soundtracks, if not soul records, of the 70s!

Fantasy/Craft, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... On September 26, 2020
A pastoral name, but a really hard-hitting band – a power rock trio who come on with a sound that's incredibly full for such a small group! Most numbers here have some really heady bass work – rumbling at the bottom and giving a fuzzier, nastier edge to some of the tunes – and ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Labcabincalifornia ... LP Delicious Vinyl/Craft, 1995. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The second Pharcyde record – and though not as blunted and playful as the first one, it's still nearly as great – with that unrivaled, wholly original, easy west coast vibe!

David Porter —
Victim Of The Joke? (180 gram pressing) ... LP Enterprise/Craft, 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Probably the best-remembered solo album from David Porter – one half of the famous Hayes/Porter team that ruled Stax Records in the 60s, although not as successful as an artist on his own as Isaac Hayes!

Alegre/Craft, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
A fantastic little album of Latin Soul – a perfect example of why Pete was known as the "King Of The Boogaloo" during the 60s!

Killer soul from Johnnie Taylor, and really his first major LP!

31st Of February (180 gram pressing) (2018 Black Friday Release) ... LP Vanguard/Craft, 1968. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great first album from this unusual Florida trio – a hip little group whose members would later end up working with The Allman Brothers, Boz Scaggs, and Cowboy – but who sound plenty darn great here on their own!

Vanguard/Craft, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... On September 26, 2020
One of THE spoken word classics of the 70s funk years – an amazing album based around the poetry of Camille Yarbrough – set to some amazing funky backings!

Parrot/Craft, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 21.99
The first US album by The Zombies – a brilliant little record that shows the group as way more than just a Brit Invasion combo!
