Brown Sugar ... LP 
Capitol/Cooltempo (UK), 1995. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Childish Gambino once again transcends anything you might be expecting from an actor/musician – this is not some vain star trip at all, but a worthy, boundary-busting effort – and a pretty sizable step away from idiosyncratic, yet accessible hip hop into spacey pop funk! Strong stuff, ... (Hip Hop, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Glenn Lewis —
World Outside My Window ... LP Epic, 2002. Sealed 2LP ... Just Sold Out!
A sweetly soulful debut from Glenn Lewis – a modern singer with a classic approach to vocals, dipped heavily in the tradition of Stevie Wonder, especially on his early 70s masterpieces, produced here with a bit of the current vocal processing approach used in the NuSoul era. Andre Harris co-w ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vikter Duplaix —
Bold & Beautiful ... CD BBE (UK), 2006. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Rare Changes ... LP Big Bucks, 2021. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99

Adrian Younge Presents Angela Munoz – Introspection ... CD Linear Labs, 2020. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
Adrian Younge's plastered his name on the front cover of this debut from Angela Munoz (why does he always do that?) – but the set is definitely a strong calling card for the lady herself – who steps out here with a strength that might well make her a key underground soul talent in years ... read more CD
