Gonna Take A Miracle ... LP 
Columbia, 1971. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A tremendous album from Laura Nyro – a real return to the soulful style of her roots, thanks to help from Labelle on backing vocals, and the team of Gamble & Huff on production!

Yellow Magic Orchestra —
X 8 Multiplies ... LP A&M, 1979. Very Good+ ... $8.99
The second album from Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, not as much of an electro groove filled affair as the first, but still a great batch of quirky techno-electro Asian pop with lots of great bubbling synth touches! 8 tracks in all including "Behind The Mask", ...

Grover Washington Jr —
Inner City Blues ... LP Kudu, 1972. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Sweet funky jazz from Grover Washington – an early standout session from his classic years on Kudu Records, put together with hip arrangements from the mighty Bob James! The record's got the same spacious sense of grooving as James' first few for CTI – a style that's funky fusion, but ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Four Tops —
Tonight ... LP Casablanca, 1981. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A surprisingly great set from The Four Tops – hardly the throwaway effort you might expect from some of the other Casablanca projects of the time – and instead a really solid effort that follows strongly from the sound of the group's best moments during their ABC Records years! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover is still in the shrinkwrap, with the hype sticker.)
Jacksons —
Medley: I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save/Epic, 1981. Very Good+ ... $7.99
4 numbers off the Jacksons early 80s Live LP for Epic. By this point Michael had already dropped his astounding Off The Wall set, and was pretty much a certified super star on his own, and the brothers are letting him move to the fore on all these smoking versions of some of their best tracks! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo. Labels have some pen.)
El Coco —
El Coco ... LP AVI, 1982. Very Good+ ... $44.99
A bit of a change for El Coco, but a great little set nonetheless – one that has the Rinder & Lewis team moving into more of a boogie mode than before, bringing up lots of bass from the bottom! There's almost a deeper sense of soul here than before – a modern soul vibe that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo, with some pen on the labels. Cover has a large name in marker on both sides & light wear.)
Lou Rawls —
Lou Rawls & Strings ... LP Capitol, 1965. Very Good ... $1.99
Great early work by Lou Rawls – no, the album doesn't have funky David Axelrod arrangements – but it does feature Lou with some great jazzy backing by Benny Carter – who really knows how to put the right degree of punch in the arrangements to bring out the best in Lou's voice. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label pressing.)
Four Tops —
Night Lights Harmony ... LP ABC, 1975. Very Good- ... $0.99
Proof that the Four Tops on ABC was always a good thing – and an overlooked gem that shows the group still working at a higher level than most of their 70s soul contemporaries! The sound here has definitely moved away from the Motown years – into a smoother, sweeter CA groove – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has wear & some pen.)
Impressions —
Impressions Chartbusters ... LP Pickwick/ABC, 1960s. Very Good ... $0.99
A nice 70s collection of classic 60s ABC work by the early Impressions – not necessarily the group's biggest hits, but a nice batch of work nonetheless! The work is all seminal Chicago soul – recorded mostly with arrangements by Johnny Pate, sung with that sweet crackling harmony style ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole & light wear.)
Commodores —
Natural High ... LP Motown, 1978. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A pivotal album for The Commodores – still very funky here, with a sound that stays true to their roots – yet also able to reach out into some of the mature mellow ballads that would make them a huge crossover act in years to come! James Carmichael arranges and produces here – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch.)
Earth Wind & Fire —
Raise! ... LP Columbia, 1981. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $7.99
Earth Wind & Fire hits the 80s – and never misses a beat! Turns out that the group's older style of jazzy funk was a perfect fit for the boogie-styled rhythms of the post-disco era – heard here on the megahit "Let's Groove", and followed up by a beautiful batch of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Bobby Brown —
My Prerogative (extended rmx, radio edit, inst, dub) ... 12-inch MCA, 1988. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $2.99

George Clinton —
Loopzilla (broadcast version, original) ... 12-inch Capitol, 1982. Sealed ... $4.99
Loopzilla is from the same species as Atomic Dog – both of them funky enough animals, with post Parliament/Funkadelic P-Funk groove! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Chambers Brothers —
Right Move ... LP Avco, 1975. Very Good ... $2.99
We're not normally the biggest fans of The Chambers Brothers, but this album's a cracking winner from the mid 70s. Shouldn't be so, given the date and the label, but there's a really funky track on here that's one of their best – the great break cut "Stealing Watermelons", which ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has edge wear.)
Diana Ross —
Touch Me In The Morning ... LP Motown, 1973. Very Good- ... $0.99
One of the more righteous albums from the early years of Diana Ross' solo career – a set that really has her moving past the familiar Motown groove of previous years, into a vibe that really shows the label's new California influence! The tracks here often feature expansive arrangements that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Terry Callier —
Sign Of The Times/Elektra, 1979. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A strange little 12" single! Side one features "Sign Of The Times", a mis-placed number that has Terry trying for the dancefloor crowd, in a mode that really doesn't fit with his voice or style. "Occasional Rain" is a great one though – a remake of the title track ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo, in an Elektra sleeve. Labels have some pen. Sleeve has a large name in marker.)
Curtis Mayfield —
Heartbeat ... LP Curtom/RSO, 1979. Very Good ... $7.99
A real dancefloor set from Curtis – recorded with some sweet Philly production from the likes of Norman Harris and Bunny Sigler – in the sweeping, soaring, strings-heavy mode of the Philly disco records of the time! And yes, this isn't classic Curtis from the righteous years – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Madonna —
Vogue (12 inch version, Bette Davis dub, Strike A Pose dub) ... 12-inch Sire, 1990. Very Good- (pic cover)... $3.99
... 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has flaking on the top seam.)
Aretha Franklin —
Aretha Franklin's Greatest Hits ... LP Columbia, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
Despite the title, this isn't really Aretha's greatest hits – as it includes no numbers from the Atlantic years – but it is a pretty good selection of Aretha's earlier work for Columbia, and features some real gems that should have been bigger hits than they were. Titles include "R ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Columbia Limited Edition pressing. Cover has some wear.)
Prince —
Controversy ... LP Warner, 1981. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Classic Prince – an album that signaled an end to the first part of Prince's storied career, leaning heavily on his fascination with new wave, mixed with the r&b grooves and 70s funk of his earliest LPs. Prince is definitely in a transitional mode here, the easy politics of the punk era ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Missing the poster. Cover has a promo stamp & a large name in marker on both sides. Labels have some pen.)
Four Tops —
Four Tops Greatest Hits ... LP Motown, 1960s. Very Good- ... $1.99
Despite the fame of their big hits – like "Reach Out I'll Be There", "I Can't Help Myself", "Baby I Need Your Loving", and "It's The Same Old Song", all of which are on this set, and which have been heard ad infinitum – the Four Tops are actually ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has clear tape on the seams.)
Teddy Pendergrass —
Life Is A Song Worth Singing ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Wonderful work from the early solo years of Teddy Pendergrass! The record's a monstrous mix of mellow soul and sophisticated tunes – one that pushes Teddy way past his earlier role in Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, into mature male soul territory that few others could match! The sound ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo, including the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, a promo stamp, and a tracklist sticker.)
Peter Brown —
Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me?/TK, 1977. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Hit work from the legendary Peter Brown – a key player in far more club sides than we can remember, but a real chart-topper with this one! You may know the a-side, which is offered here in a nice long take with a drum break in the middle – but don't miss "Burning Love", which ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a TK sleeve.)
Four Tops —
Still Waters Run Deep ... LP Motown, 1970. Very Good- ... $2.99
One of the last albums the Four Tops ever issued on Motown – but also one of the best, and a set that really has the group taking off in a strong new direction for the 70s! Frank Wilson's at the production helm, and the set has all these cool little twists and turns that work perfectly with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover & labels have a name in marker.)
Ohio Players —
Skin Tight ... LP Mercury, 1974. Very Good Gatefold ... $7.99
Great work from the Ohio Players – and proof that moving to a big label could be a good thing for a funky group! This was the band's first album for Mercury – and although one might have the temptation to say that the label cut down the radical funk sound of the trippy Westbound years, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some pen indentations on the front.)
Heatwave —
Central Heating ... LP Epic, 1978. Very Good ... $6.99
The second album by Heatwave – and a great effort that's almost as perfectly sublime as the first! Despite their UK origin, these guys really give American late 70s soul a run for its money – hitting in a sweetly compressed sound that fuses the vocals, keyboards, and grooves together ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear.)
Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes —
Collector's Item – All Their Greatest Hits ... LP Philadelphia International, Early 70s/1976. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Not really the Collectors Item promised by the title – but an excellent collection of work from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, pulled from their earliest albums for Philly International! The set's worth it for two tracks alone – "I Miss You" and "Be For Real" ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Collector's Item – All Their Greatest Hits ... CD 1.99
Royalettes —
Elegant Sound Of The Royalettes ... LP MGM, Mid 60s. Good ... $2.99
A killer batch of tracks by this excellent uptown soul group – and one that features loads and loads of original compositions, arrangements, and production work by the great Teddy Randazzo.

O'Jays —
Back Stabbers ... LP Philadelphia International, 1972. Very Good ... $11.99
A landmark album for the O'Jays – a set that moved them from the indie ranks to 70s megasoulstatus!

Walter Jackson —
Walter Jackson's Greatest Hits ... LP Okeh, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful! Did we say that enough?

The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange label Epic pressing. Cover has some wear & a stained corner.)
Minnie Riperton —
Come To My Garden (2nd pressing) ... LP Janus, 1970. Very Good+ ... $39.99
Mindblowing work from Minnie Riperton – her first solo album, cut at the end of the 60s, after a number of years of work with the group Rotary Connection. The album builds off the now famous sound of Rotary Connection – but takes it to the next level, with arch-baroque production by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear. Back cover paste on is unglued on the top seam.)
Jackson 5 —
Jackson 5 Greatest Hits ... LP Motown, 1971. Very Good ... $8.99
A testament as to how many hits the Jacksons produced in a short amount of time – this Greatest Hits was compiled only three years after the group's first record was released. It contains all the goodies you'd ever want by them, from arguably their best years. This excellent single LP ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing in the embossed cover, with some wear.)
Esther Phillips —
Alone Again, Naturally ... LP Kudu, 1972. Very Good- ... $3.99
One of the deepest soul sets from Esther Phillips' 70s years on Kudu Records – a set with some nicely gritty grooves and a surprisingly earthy feel at times – especially when compared to some of her other albums of the time! Backings are by James Brown's old reedman, Pee Wee Ellis ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has split seams & a name in pen.)
Funkadelic —
One Nation Under A Groove ... LP Warner, 1978. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $19.99
An instant classic the day it was released – and a perfect blending of the group's older freaked-out style with a slick late 70s funk sound that started showing up in the work of many other groups. "One Nation Under A Groove" is a monster cut with a hook that won't quit, and the LP ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gemini —
Gemini Rising ... LP M&M, 1981. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A classic boogie groover from the early 80s – the one and only album from Gemini, and one of the few albums issued on the tiny M&M label! Although an indie effort, the album's got a tightness that matches the best 80s groove on bigger labels from the time – especially the excellent ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has a promo stamp, sticker spot, and light wear.)
Five Stairsteps & Cubie —
Our Family Portrait ... LP Buddah, 1970. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99

(Cover has light wear.)
Leroy Hutson —
Man! ... LP Curtom, 1974. Very Good- ... $18.99
A killer early album by the great Leroy Hutson – the first set that has him stepping out as a true soul genius for the 70s!

Man! ... LP 22.99
Rimshots —
Down To Earth ... LP Stang, 1976. Sealed ... $14.99

(Cover has a cutout notch. Shrinkwrap has a small hole & a sticker remnant.)
Floaters —
Floaters ... LP ABC, 1977. Very Good+ ... $4.99
Their classic, with the great long version of "Float On", which is a monster soul cut that stands tall with steppers and rappers alike. It's probably the best track they ever did, and it's all here in a version that's nearly 12 minutes long – with loads of samples that you'll ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Hunt's Determination —
This Is Determination Problems (original pressing) ... LP Ear Wax/Wonderland, Late 70s. Sealed ... $6.99
An obscure little funky group from Detroit, one with a tight ensemble sound that's very much in the Earth Wind & Fire mode – complete with a really great horn section, plenty of bass-heavy grooves a the bottom, and a relatively spiritual feel that comes through strongly on the best tracks! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed!)
Minnie Riperton —
Perfect Angel ... LP Epic, 1974. Very Good ... $9.99
Minnie Riperton's first album for Epic – and the record that broke her from a hip Chicago underground artist into one of the seventies' biggest female soul stars!

(Orange label pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Heaven & Earth —
Heaven & Earth ... LP Mercury, 1978. Very Good ... $2.99
Excellent work from this smooth Chicago vocal group!

(Cover has light wear.)
Futures —
Castles in the Sky (with bonus tracks) ... CD Buddah/FTG, 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Pastor TL Barrett —
Do Not Pass Me By ... LP Gospel Roots, 1976. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A stone classic from this famous Chicago spiritual leader of the 70s – and an album that's got a nice balance between intimate soul numbers and larger tracks that have the whole Mount Zion Baptist Church along for support! The set's definitely got the strongly soulful vibe of Barrett's Like ... (Gospel, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has wear, with fully split top & bottom seams. Vinyl plays with clicks & crackles.)
Ray Charles —
Genius + Soul = Jazz/Impulse, 1960. Used ... $2.99
We might argue with the mathematics in the title – or at least joke that Ray was using equations as titles years before Anthony Braxton – but you can't contest the fact that this one's a classic treat, and a legendary attempt to class up Ray's bluesy style for the masses. Quincy Jones ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Maxwell —
Maxwell Unplugged EP ... CD Columbia, 1996. Used ... $1.99
There's no need to call this one Unplugged – since the sound is warm, mellow, and with lots of electric touches – almost a stripped-down approach to the work that Maxwell crafted on his excellent albums Urban Hang Suite and Embrya. In fact, there's a sound here that's even more ... (Neo Soul, Soul) read more CD
Various —
Hollywood Rock N Roll Record Hop ... LP Crown, 1958. Good ... $2.99
A killer collection of 50s R&B from LA's mighty Crown label – home to some of the hardest-hitting work on the west coast at the time!

(Original Crown pressing. Cover has some wear, peeling & taped seams.)
Ginger Baker's Air Force —
Ginger Baker's Air Force ... LP Atco, 1970. Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
Out of the wreckage of Cream came some very hip grooves! Ginger Baker was the hippest of the group's 3 members – and although he's often credited by soul fans for his work with Fela, he should also get hats off for his work with the group Air Force. At its base, the group's in the jazz rock ... (Rock, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear & splitting.)
Ray Charles —
Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music ... LP ABC, 1962. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A classic! What seemed a silly idea at the time was true proof of Ray's genius, and the result was the most successful album of his career – and a bona-fide number one hit that rode the charts for years and years! Ray's voice works perfectly with the material, and thanks to soulful ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Moments —
Moment With The Moments ... LP Stang, Early 70s. Good+ ... $11.99
Sweet sweet sweet soul from The Moments, and one of their rare early albums for the Stang label!

Delfonics —
Sound Of Sexy Soul ... LP Philly Groove, 1969. Very Good- ... $14.99
A groundbreaking album of vocal group soul – right from the first note!

Nina Simone —
Jazz As Played In An Exclusive Side Street Club (Bethlehem pressing) ... LP Bethlehem, Early 60s. Good+ ... $14.99
A classic set of early jazz recordings by Nina Simone – one of her first albums ever, but already with an approach that's quite different from other singers of the time!

Al Green —
Al Green Is Love ... LP Hi Records, 1975. Good+ ... $6.99
Heavenly soul doesn't get any more heavenly than this! Al Green's at the height of his powers here – working in that wonderfully smooth, wonderfully warm style that made his early 70s material so wonderful! This album's maybe slightly less iconic than some of Green's other titles for Hi ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear.)
Brother To Brother —
Let Your Mind Be Free ... LP Turbo, 1976. Good+ ... $2.99
The second album by this lost East Coast funk act – and although not as totally excellent as their first, still a very nice record that's filled with choppy up-tempo grooves, and some nice dancefloor soul. There's plenty of funky keyboards in the mix – moog, clavinet, and Arp – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Archie Bell & The Drells —
I Can't Stop Dancing ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Good+ ... $6.99
Fantastic work from Archie Bell & The Drells – an important record that bridges their earlier and later sounds! It's a key transitional album for the crew – as most of the album's in the harder rawer Texas funk groove of earlier year, but some of it features newer production by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Red & green label Broadway pressing. Cover has a large name in marker on both sides. Label has some pen.)
Shirelles —
Shirelles Swing The Most ... LP Pricewise, 1964. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Beautiful stuff from one of the most soulful 60s pop girl groups – and proof that The Shirelles were always a cut above!

(Cover has some wear & splitting.)
Cybotron —
Enter Cybotron ... LP Fantasy, 1983. Good+ ... $24.99
A mindblowing debut from Cybotron – one of the most unusual groups to ever hail from Detroit – and that's saying a hell of a lot, given the musical legacy of the city! Cybotron have a sound that's starkly electronic, and a huge influence on later electro, hip hop, techno, and house ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Alton McClain & Destiny —
More Of You ... LP Polydor, 1980. Near Mint- ... $9.99
One of the best records by this great little modern soul trio who should have gone onto bigger and better things. The session's got a strong mellow groove, typical of some of the non-hit soul coming out of labels like Polydor and Capitol at the end of the 70s – and tracks include "Stares ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Earth Wind & Fire —
Millennium ... LP Reprise, 1993. Very Good 2LP ... $14.99
Earth Wind & Fire cut this one a few years before the actual turn of the century – but that's a-ok with us, because Maurice White & company were always years ahead of their time!

Impressions —
Three The Hard Way (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Curtom/Get Back (Italy), 1974. Used Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Not only a great soundtrack – but one of the best 70s albums by The Impressions!

Instant Funk —
I Got My Mind Made Up (9:46, 7:11) ... 12-inch Salsoul, 1978. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest tracks ever from this legendary Philly backing combo – a sweetly tippling bit of disco that really soars on this 12" single! The track builds with a full feel, then snaps into some clapping rhythms and funky guitar that show that that the group more than live up to ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Alton McClain & Destiny —
Gonna Tell The World ... LP Polydor, 1981. Very Good ... $19.99
A sublime set from Alton McClain & Destiny – one of the hippest female soul trios ever – and a group who definitely work at a level that's far above most of their contemporaries!

More Soul Selections ... CD Hubbub (UK), 1970s. Used ... $9.99
A lousy cover, but some really great cuts – one of the killer compilations put together by the Hubub label back in the 90s, one of the first reissue imprints that really started digging up rare 70s soul and funk!

Love Fever ... LP Prelude, 1982. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Rootsier material than usual for Prelude – recorded with a mix of southern soul and modern groove styles, a great platform for the vocals of Gayle Adams, one of the label's best singers.

Change —
Glow Of Love (long version)/Warner, 1980. Used (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Quite possibly the best-ever tune by Change – a hiply jazzy bit of crossover soul, featuring lead vocals from Luther Vandross, and a smooth, classy groove that never gets old!

Umoja —
707 ... LP Awesome Tapes From Africa, 1988. Near Mint- (reissue)... $8.99
Catchy soul from the South African scene of the 80s – music that's much more different than some of the more world music-oriented exports that were hitting our shores at the time! You might actually be able to play the music of Umoja right next to some of your more familiar American soul of ... (Global Grooves, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nepa Oh Nepa ... LP Hot Casa (Netherlands), Late 70s. Used Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The first-ever set to bring together the work of Nigerian flute player Tee Mac – a hell of a musician, and an Afro Funk contemporary of Fela Kuti, but with a huge legacy of his own!

A fantastic collection of postwar gospel – one that really keeps the spirit of the "jukebox" in the title!

There's A Riot Goin' On (2LP 180 gram 45 RPM) ... LP Epic/ORG, 1971. Sealed 2LP Gatefold ... $39.99
A wonderful album from Sly and crew – moving way past the straight funk approach of earlier records, into a complicated crossover soul style that's filled with warmth and righteousness.
