Colonial Man ... LP Casablanca, 1976. Sealed ... $11.99
A later album from Hugh Masekela – but still plenty darn hip, way more so than most of the other artists on the Casablanca label at the time!

Barrabas —
Power ... LP RCA, 1973. Sealed ... $19.99
Funky rocking sounds from this hip Spanish group – with a bit of a tribal sound that's pretty sweet!

Most cuts have vocals, kind of in a rock-so ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

People's Choice —
Boogie Down USA ... LP TSOP, 1975. Very Good ... $0.99
One of the most successful albums cut by People's Choice during the 70s – and a record that shows them making the same progression from funk to disco as other groups of the time, like BT Express.

Stevie Wonder —
Talking Book ... LP Tamla, 1972. Very Good Gatefold ... $11.99
One of the classics, and an album that's filled with a sense of majesty and power that will knock you dead – despite the kind of silly cover of Stevie sitting on a hill, playing in the dirt!

Tribe —
Ethnic Stew ... LP ABC, 1974. Sealed ... $19.99
A great bit of funk from this obscure 70s combo – the first of their many good albums, and with a sound that's rougher and rawer than the others.

Main Ingredient —
Bitter Sweet ... LP RCA, 1972. Sealed Gatefold ... $11.99
One of Main Ingredient's great early albums, and the one that includes the big hit "Everybody Plays the Fool", one of the all-time great AM radio soul classics!

Black Smoke (aka Smoke) —
Black Smoke ... LP Chocolate City, 1976. Sealed ... $24.99
This group were one of a number to use the name Smoke during the 70s – but at some point they were forced to change their name to Black Smoke, and you'll see the record listed both ways, but with the same cover.

Blackbyrds —
Flying Start ... LP Fantasy, 1974. Very Good ... $14.99
Not the band's first album – as you might think from the "start" in the title – but a classic batch of jazzy, funky, and soulful grooves from The Blackbyrds – one of those combos that few groups could match back in the 70s!

By Chollo ... CD Cotique, 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
An obscure classic from the Latin Soul generation – the standout set recorded by the young Chollo Rivera and his strangely-named group The Latin Drives!

Groove Theory ... LP Epic/Get On Down, 1995. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $16.99 19.98
The only album ever from Groove Theory – but the set that introduced the world to Amel Larrieux – whose vocal talents alone are worth the price of admission!

Energy Control Center (2CD version – with bonus tracks) ... CD Lightin/Now Again, 1972. New Copy 2CD ... $6.99 15.98
Cosmic jazzy genius from Bubbha Thomas & The Lightmen – the kind of a record that sounds like it should have come out of Detroit or Chicago in the early 70s – and not the Texas scene from which the group hailed!

Stranger I May Be – Savoy Gospel 1954 to 1986 (3CD set) ... CD Savoy/Honest Jons (UK), Late 50s/1960s/1970s/Early 80s. New Copy 3CD ... $23.99
An insanely fantastic look at the strong legacy of gospel music from Savoy Records – a company who were initially a powerhouse in the fields of jazz and R&B, but who moved into the gospel world and dominated that market for decades! Savoy is a bit like Chess Records – a company who ... (Gospel, Soul) read more CD

Soho Scene 66/Rhythm & Blues (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy 4CD ... $28.99
A massive collection of jazzy tracks, and one that maybe has a bit of interest to the soul instrumental scene too – given that these were the kind of cuts that played big with the mod scene in London in the mid 60s! The approach is pretty great – in that each of the 4CDs is divided up ... (Jazz, Soul) read more CD
Little Richard —
Second Coming (with bonus tracks) ... CD Reprise/Omnivore, 1972. New Copy ... $16.99
Funky 70s Little Richard – very much in the spirit of his Rill Thing album, although a bit more polished! The album features production and arrangements from New Orleans soul legend Bumps Blackwell – who first handled Richard way back when – and the record's sort of divided half ... read more CD
Prince —
Sign O The Times (8CD/Paisley Park/Warner, 1987. New Copy 8CD & DVD ... $149.99 159.98
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 CD

Soho Scene '66 Vol 2 – Jazz Goes Mod (2020 Record Store Day Release) ... LP Rhythm & Blues (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $26.99
Swinging sounds from 60s London – a heady brew of jazz cuts with a strong emphasis on soul – served up here in a blend of artists both from the US and UK! There's a few vocal numbers on here, but most tracks are instrumentals – and titles include "Lonely Avenue" by ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prince —
1999 (180 gram purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Warner, 1982. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The record that forever put Prince on the map – a legendary set that took him from being an under-appreciated soul singer to a lasting pop music legend! Prince had been around for a few years before 1999 – but the double-length set was the first to really win over the masses to his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Booker T & The MGs —
Melting Pot (180 gram pressing) ... LP Stax/Craft, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest albums ever from Booker T & The MGs – and very different than their early work! The record has Book & Co taking off with a stretched-out jazzy sound – carving expanded grooves that are filled with sweet organ solos, choppy guitar riffs, and some incredibly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
James Brown —
Say It Live & Loud – Live In Dallas 1968 (with bonus tracks) ... LP Polydor, 1968. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99 34.99
An amazing James Brown live set from the crucial year of 1968 – the show that marked the debut of "Say It Loud I'm Black & I'm Proud" – a cut that would become an anthem for much of America in the years to come! The feel here is somewhat similar to Brown's famous Boston ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Soulful Strings —
Magic Of Christmas ... LP Cadet/Verve, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
One of the coolest Christmas albums we've ever heard – and maybe one of the coolest sets ever from this legendary soul instrumental project from Chicago! The Soulful Strings are already great on other albums, but they really blow us away here with the way they completely transform familiar ... (Holiday Music, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Terry Callier —
What Color Is Love ... LP Cadet/Verve, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Possibly the greatest album ever by the legendary Chicago soul singer Terry Callier! Terry's rich mellow voice is mixed with superb arrangements from the Cadet studio team, with Charles Stepney at the head, and the result is completely sublime. The songs are longer than on earlier albums – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cerrone —
Cerrone 3 – Supernature (pale green vinyl pressing with bonus CD) ... LP Malligator/Because (France), 1977. New Copy LP & CD (reissue)... $26.99
The height of French disco – a huge worldwide hit for Cerrone, a nutty bit of space disco that actually holds up pretty darn well over the years! The guy's not really a looker – and the strange "animal operation" cover almost makes this look like a prog rock album – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(LP comes with bonus CD version of the full album.)
James Cotton —
Pure Cotton ... LP Verve, 1968. Very Good+ ... $19.99
The second Verve album from James Cotton, and oddly a rootsier effort than the first! While Cotton's debut often had some more soul-styled grooves in the mix, this one's a lot more stripped-down and bluesy – in a style that echoes Chess Records from a decade before! Cotton plays harmonica ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Boz Scaggs —
Silk Degrees ... LP Columbia, 1976. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Blue-eyed soul from Boz Scaggs, with a decidedly Philly influenced sound to the production, which we'd hazard a guess comes more from the Hall & Oates side of town than the Sigma Sound axis. Still, this is a solid album with the irresistible hit "Lowdown", still a favorite around ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
