A seminal set in helping shape the sound of Neo Soul for the 21st Century – the solo debut of Amel Larreiux, recorded after an initial rise to fame in Groove Theory! The set's got a simple, yet seductive groove – a mix of spare beats and keyboards that really gives Amel's sweet vocals ... (Neo Soul, Soul) read more CD
Otis Spann —
Blues Is Where It's At ... CD Bluesway/BGO (UK), 1966. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Otis Spann made some great records over the years, but he sounds especially nice on the handful of sessions he did for the Bluesway label – which seem to take a Chess Records approach, then give the whole thing an extra-added punch! Otis is in the lead on piano and vocals, but the group's ... (Blues, Soul) read more CD
Saturday Night Band —
Saturday Night Band – Come On Dance Dance ... LP Prelude, 1978. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Prelude disco at its best – a soulful side from the team of Jesse Boyce and Moses Dillard, formerly of the southern soul scene, and working here in an uptempo Hotlanta mode with lots of nice soul touches. Players on the set include Clayton Ivey on Fender Rhodes, Roger Clark on drums, and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Aretha Franklin —
Take It Like You Give It ... LP Columbia, 1967. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Aretha Franklin belts it out nicely on this one – stepping out with even more of a hard soul style than before, in a record that's a great close to her early years on Columbia Records! Arrangements are by Belford Hendricks and Clyde Otis – the latter of whom is clearly responsible for ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Columbia Special Products pressing, C-10731.)
Isaac Hayes —
Live At The Sahara Tahoe ... LP Enterprise, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
A stunning live example of Ike's amazing baroque soul for Stax! Despite the schmaltz that you might expect from a live set recorded at Lake Tahoe, the album's a beautiful batch of long tracks with a very similar feel to Ike's other Stax work at the time – and it really gives you an excellent ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In the embossed die-cut cover. Includes the heavy inner sleeves. Cover has a lightly bumped corner, but is nice overall.)
Quincy Jones —
Dude ... LP A&M, 1981. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A super-huge album from Quincy Jones – a record that's almost like Quincy's trying to show the whole younger generation that an older master like himself can still deliver the goods! The set was delivered right after Quincy helped out Michael Jackson on Off The Wall – and while it's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a light cut mark along the bottom.)
BB King —
Live At The Regal (white cover) ... LP ABC, 1965. Very Good+ ... $14.99
An excellent set by BB King – one of his best from the 60s, and a smoking live set recorded at Chicago's legendary Regal Theatre! The enthusiasm at the venue shows that BB's Memphis-honed style is a perfect fit for the electrified Chicago sound of the 60s – and the recording really ...

(Early 80s black label stereo pressing. Cover has some wear and aging, staining along the back edges, a sticker spot and light waviness along the top.)
Jacksons —
Victory ... LP Epic, 1984. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $8.99
Michael Jackson's last album with his famous family – a set of electric 80s soul that's a bit different than Jackson's well-known solo work! In a way, the later Jacksons albums almost feel like a place where Michael can try out some ideas that don't fit as tightly into the overall sound of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve and mail order form!)
Quartz —
Quartz ... LP Marlin, 1978. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Sweet spacey disco from Quartz – and a set that definitely lives up to the icy image on the cover! The set's in the best mode of the French club scene of the 70s – a groove that certainly draws complex instrumentation from the progressive moments of a few years before – but which ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, some aging and a cutout notch.)
Prince —
Sign O The Times ... LP Paisley Park/Warner, 1987. Very Good+ 2LP ... Just Sold Out!
A fantastic record from Prince – a double-length set that came out at a time when the purple one was brimming over with energy and new ideas – and a step slightly in the direction of more socially conscious material! Everything that was great about Prince before the record is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Al Green —
Belle Album ... LP Hi Records, 1977. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Al takes over the whole deal with this one – as the record features him writing, producing, arranging, and even playing lead guitar – stepping out from under the protective wing of Willie Mitchell, and doing a surprisingly great job overall! Al does get a bit of help in the studio ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Emotions —
Rejoice ... LP Columbia, 1977. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A huge hit for both The Emotions and Maurice White – whose Kalimba Productions handled this album in the same hit mode they'd been using for Earth Wind & Fire!

New Birth —
New Birth ... LP RCA, 1970. Very Good ... $34.99

Also available New Birth ... CD 6.99(Original pressing. Cover has light surface and edge wear.)
Al Jarreau —
High Crime ... LP Warner, 1984. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A big one for Al Jarreau – a record that has a groove that's a bit more mainstream than some of Al's previous records, but which still leaves plenty of space for his amazing vocals! Jarreau's working again with producer Jay Graydon, who pitches the instrumentation towards more electric-soundi ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Aretha Franklin —
Who's Zoomin Who? ... LP Arista, 1985. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A huge hit for Aretha Franklin – and a record that brought her famous vocals to a whole new generation of listeners!

(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Memphis Slim —
Real Folk Blues ... LP Chess, 1950s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Memphis Slim's installment in this excellent LP series from Chess – 60s packagings of earlier recordings done by key bluesmen in the Chicago scene, with slightly improved fidelity but enough of the "real folk blues" sound to warrant the title! Instrumentation here is a bit more ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s French Vogue pressing.)
Anita Baker —
Rapture ... LP Elektra, 1986. Near Mint- ... $34.99
A classic album of classy vocals – one that helped set a whole new tone in 80s soul music!

Vicky D —
This Beat Is Mine (voc, inst) ... 12-inch SAM, 1981. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
The beat is definitely Vicki's – even though the groove reminds us a fair bit of the Evelyn Champagne King song "I'm In Love"! But we can hardly complain about any sort of copycat soul – because Vicki's tune is plenty darn great too – lots of great 80s groove keyboards ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Sam sleeve. B-side label has a name in pen.)
Sade —
Stronger Than Pride ... LP Epic, 1988. Near Mint- ... $39.99
Another nice one from Sade – perhaps not as edgey as some of her earlier work, recorded in a slightly smoother style, but still quite nice to our ears – as Sade's always been a pleasure, no matter what the setting! Includes the nicely grooving "Nothing Can Come Between Us", ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Stronger Than Pride ... CD 3.99(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has minimal wear.)
Howlin Wolf —
Real Folk Blues ... LP Chess, 1966. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Classic work from Howlin Wolf – tunes recorded with incredibly raspy vocals, set to a folksy electric guitar sound – one that instantly conjures up images of the south side blues scene that Chess documented so well during the 50s and 60! The work here was recorded over a number of ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Late 70s French Vogue pressing.)
Sam & Dave —
Double Dynamite ... LP Stax, 1966. Very Good ... $29.99
Sublime early Stax work from Sam & Dave – the kind of record that forever changed the way the male voice was used in group soul music! The rhythms on the tunes are totally raw – bass, drums, and guitar that are kind of fused into a dirty funky bottom that proves a perfect foil for ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Taiwanese orange vinyl stereo pressing on Large World. Cover is in the plastic outer sleeve.)
Sunday's Child —
Sunday's Child ... LP Sunnyside/Reprise, 1970. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A pretty great trio of female vocalists – taking that 60s Motown sound into a deeper vein, like the work of the Sweet Inspirations for Atlantic during the same time. The album's got a nice rootsy sound – despite its LA roots – and the girls alternate between singing harmonies and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light ring wear and a center split in the bottom seam.)
