Volt/Craft, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
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
Big Star —
#1 Record (180 gram pressing) ... LP Ardent/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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

Booker T & The MGs —
Melting Pot (180 gram pressing) ... LP Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work! The record has Book & Co taking off with a stretched-out jazzy sound – carving expanded grooves that are filled with sweet organ solos, choppy guitar riffs, and some incredibly ...

New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier (180 gram 2LP expanded edition) ... LP Prestige/Craft, 1964. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Terry Callier's first album – recorded in 1964 when he was a wee teen hanging around Chicago's folk scene! As the title indicates, the album's definitely got a folk-styled sound – but also as the "new" implies, it's got a sound all it's own, fresh and free – and that ...

Willie Colon —
Hustler (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania/Craft, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige/Craft, 1958. New Copy 5CD ... $66.99 74.99
A fantastic document of this breakout moment for the legendary John Coltrane – every single Prestige Records recording from the important year of 1958, a time when the tenorist really emerged as a leader, while still also sharing his talents in collaborative sessions too! This isn't the ... (Jazz) read more CD

The complete Woodstock performance by Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969 – brought together here as an official album for the first time ever!

Celia Cruz & Tito Puente —
Alma Con Alma – The Heart & Soul Of Celia Cruz & Tito Puente (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tico/Craft, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really great project from Tito Puente – maybe not his only collaboration with Celia Cruz, but maybe one of the best – a top-to-bottom album of unified vision, topped with sublime vocals from the legendary lady! The set was arranged and produced by Tito – and brings together ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stax/Craft, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Roots rock but with a strongly soulful undercurrent – thanks to key late 60s Stax production from Donald Duck Dunn and Don Nix, both of whom make the record sound a lot hipper than many other similar sets from the time!

Fania All-Stars —
Live At Yankee Stadium Vols 1 & 2 ... LP Fania/Craft, 1975. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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 ...

Vince Guaraldi —
It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ... LP Craft, 1966. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The third soundtrack that Vince Guaraldi did for The Peanuts TV specials – and maybe the best so far! There's a depth to the music that's wonderful – as Vince's combo works alongside some occasional larger orchestrations by John Scott Trotter, which are still arranged by Guaraldi ...

Buddy Guy —
Man & The Blues (180 gram pressing) ... LP Vanguard/Craft, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
We love our Buddy Guy here in Chicago – and this set cut for Vanguard, one of his first full solo albums with his own band will always be a favorite! Buddy's late 60s sound was as charismatic as he'd always be, but there's an understated approach to his lead that's really wonderful, and hits ... (Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Isaac Hayes —
Shaft (2CD deluxe edition) ... CD Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy 2 CDs ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A landmark album that hardly needs any introduction – as it's one of the most famous soundtracks, if not soul records, of the 70s! Isaac Hayes had already surprised music fans with the sophistication of his first few solo albums, which had been issued before this one – but with Shaft, ... (Soul) read more CD

Summer Solstice (180 gram pressing) ... LP Prestige/Craft, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A beautiful album of spiritual soul and Brazilian influenced jazz from Azar Lawrence – and a pretty rare one we're thrilled to have!

Pharcyde —
Labcabincalifornia ... LP Delicious Vinyl/Craft, 1995. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... 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! The production is more steady-handed this time around, which alienated fans of Bizarre Ride early on, but it ... (Hip Hop) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Enterprise/Craft, 1971. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
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! Porter's style is a lot more adventurous – and this album's a wonderful ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
REM —
Monster (2LP 180 gram deluxe version) ... LP Craft, 1999. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A nice later noise pop moment in REM's canon, bringing some electric fuzz to the forefront after the soaring, anthemic alt folk of Automatic For The People! Monster might've been a bit divisive at the time, and maybe it still is after all these years, but it holds up better than a lot of their ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Stax/Craft, 1968. New Copy ... $22.99 24.99
Killer soul from Johnnie Taylor, and really his first major LP! The record was Johnnie's second for Stax – and although the first one was good, this was the record that really had Johnnie hitting that funky bluesy sound that became his trademark into the 70s. The title cut – "Who' ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Vanguard/Craft, 1968. New Copy ... $24.99
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! The style's a lot headier than you might expect – almost with ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rounder/Craft, 2006. New Copy ... On July 31, 2020
A surprisingly nice set from Irma Thomas – recorded in a spare and stripped down way, but without any of the "too earnest" cliches that can sometimes mar other recent albums by classic soul stars! The feel here is almost gentle and easygoing at times – still in the powerful ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
