John David SoutherAsylum, 1976. Very Good
Early 70s Cali country rock at its finest! This is the first album by Detroit-born, Texas-raised JD Souther – who has a deft hand for sadness-tinged songcraft, a charismatic and genuine southern drawl to his voice, and just enough grit to give his tunes the right kind of emotional ...

A beautiful return to acoustic soul jazz work for Wendell Harrison – after a string of more electrified albums in the 80s.

Kool & The Gang
Love & UnderstandingPolygram, 1976. Used
Amazing work from Kool & The Gang – from a period when they were pushing past their tight early funky sound, into a super-dope mix of electronics and spacey jamming that is still pretty darn revolutionary today!

HeadquartersColgems, 1967. Very Good+

A great session by this excellent Chicago quartet – originally recorded in 1996, but unissued until 2000.

Frank Zappa
We're Only In It For The MoneyRyko, 1968. Used
An early masterpiece from Frank Zappa – one of those records that looks like it's going to be a big ol' mess when you first see the cover – but which turns out to be a carefully calculated act of madness in the end! The Mothers have all their freeform freaky brilliance intact here ... CD (Rock CD)

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention
One Size Fits AllRyko, 1975. Used
Frank Zappa's got some fantastic fusion touches on this sweet little set from the 70s – thanks to keyboards and a bit of vocals from George Duke, heavy drums from Chester Thompson, and even some brief help from Johnny Guitar Watson!

Stanley Turrentine
Rough & TumbleBlue Note, 1966. Used
Great large group genius from tenor giant Stanley Turrentine – one of a number of 60s Blue Note albums that have Stan exploring a format that he'd use even more strongly in the 70s!

A landmark album from Joe Cocker – and a set that took blue-eyed soul in a whole new direction at the end of the 60s!

LP, Vinyl record album (Rock LP)
Sonny Rollins
Way Out West (original master recording)Contemporary/Mobile Fidelity, 1957. Used
A classic set that brings the east coast tenor of Sonny Rollins into contact with a west coast rhythm section of Ray Brown and Shelly Manne!
