Joe McPhee —
Cosmic Love/
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1970. New Copy (pic cover)... $5.99
Two versions of a great track by Joe McPhee – both of which have the saxophonist laying out some surprisingly soulful sounds! If you only know Joe from his later avant years, you'll be stunned to hear McPhee here – as "Cosmic Love" has Joe spinning out this soulful saxophone ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Capitols —
Cool Jerk/Karen, Mid 60s. Very Good- ... $6.99
One of the hardest soul hits of the 60s! The cut's got a rolling piano and bass groove that's simply sublime – made even better because the horns didn't show up for the session, so the vocals and piano carry all the grooves, making the track work harder than most of its contemporaries from ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Blue label pressing with horizontal lines.)
Lyn Collins —
Me & My Baby Got A Good Thing Going/People, 1972. Very Good+ ... $3.99
An excellent hard-to-find track by Lyn Collins! "Me & My Baby" has a wonderful gospelly intro, similar to "Message to the Soul Sisters", which then leaps into a great groove with a nice hard soul hook! The flip has sort of a nice Muscle Shoals-ish sound, with some good ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Brighter Side Of Darkness —
Love Jones/20th Century, 1972. Very Good ... $3.99
A killer bit of harmony soul – one of the greatest of the genre from the 70s! Brighter Side Of Darkness are barely remembered these days – but "Love Jones" is one of those cuts that will go on forever – a sweetly tripped out number with incredibly baroque production, ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Curtis Mayfield —
Superfly/Curtom, 1972. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $9.99
Here's a classic – Curtis' theme to Superfly, and a tune that never seems to get old. The track's got a stop-start chugging groove that's instantly infectious, laid out by basslines and conga, plus some nice wah wah guitar mixed with Curtis' vocals! Backed here with "Love To Keep You ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Sleeve has light wear, a small torn portion at the top right corner, splitting in the side and bottom seam, and some stains on back.)
Curtis Mayfield —
(Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Gonna Go/Curtom, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $16.99
Two classics from Curtis' first solo album! "Hell Below" is here in a shorter single version – leaving off the intro, and beginning smack in the middle of the tight wah wah groove. "Makings Of You" is a mellow track with a floating and baroque quality – strings and ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Vinyl has a slight warp but plays fine. Label has a bit of pen.)

... 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have initials in pen.)
Garland Green —
Let The Good Times Roll/Spring, 1974. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Garland Green's great remake of this classic! He sings it with a nice deep Chicago soul style, augmented by some of the slightly modern/southern style production of the Spring label. "You & I Go Good" is even better, though – a sweetly stepping number that follows in the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Label has a streak of pen.)
Natural Four —
Can This Be Real/Curtom, 1973. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Two tasty cuts by one of Chicago's best vocal groups ever! Both tracks were written by Leroy Hutson – and "Can This Be Real" was one of the group's bigger hits! Heavenly soul, and produced with a great sound. 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Labels have a name and initials in pen.)
