ADC Band —
Pleasingly Plump/
H&L, 1977. Very Good ... $2.99
Rare pre-Atlantic work from the ADC Band! "Pleasingly Plump" is a great group soul single that begins with a bit of banter between the group, then has great harmonies! The flipside is more of a groover – of the sort the group would be known for later! 7-inch, Vinyl record

George Mackie —
Ebony Blues/Old Beachcomber, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $8.99

Johnny Colon —

Cool Breeze & Band —
No Money Down/Bell, Early 60s. Very Good ... $59.99

Kenny Russell —
Hard Days Night/Mercury, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Two great slices of blue-eyed soul – both produced by Leroy Glover, and done in a way that really points towards some bigger southern crossover material in the 70s! Kenny does a fantastic job with the hit – and the flipside is pretty nice too. (Rock, Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo pressing, with a small sticker on one label.)

Channel 3 —
Sweetest Thing/Dakar/Solid (Japan), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
These guys are a great little vocal group from the glory days of Brunswick. They never cut a full LP, but this is an excellent little single that's got two great sides.

Le Premiere Bonheur Du Jour EP ... 7-inch Vogue (France), 1963. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $16.99
Really lovely sounds from the young Francoise Hardy – easily one of the coolest, most confident female singers in France at the time!

Ray Bryant —
Madison Time (parts 1 & 2) ... 7-inch Columbia, Early 60s. Very Good+ (pic cover)... $24.99
One of the greatest singles – ever! "Madison Time" is nothing like other Ray Bryant work from the time – as the cut's a snapping soul jazz dancer with calls by Eddie Morrison, and a really spooky tone. It's got a hard swinging dancefloor style that pushed it way up the ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Matt Dennis Plays & Sings (3 x 7" single set) ... 7-inch Trend, 1953. Very Good+ 3 x 7" ... $3.99
One of the few albums ever recorded by Matt Dennis – a cool-voice vocalist who was equally known as a songwriter! Matt's style here is nicely laidback – supper-club jazz, but with a nice hip twist – the kind of singer who could be playing a room with a gently swinging ease, but ... read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

No Laggin & Draggin/Colemine, 2020. New Copy ... $6.99
Renaldo Domino only cut a handful of singles for Twinight Records back in the day – but he's back in perfect formation here, and really sounding wonderful – with a heartbreaking vocal that crackles nicely over the soaring arrangements of "Laggin & Draggin"!
