Meshell Ndegeocello —
Plantation Lullabies ... CD Maverick, 1993. Used ... $4.99
This record, as we're sure you know, is a spunky bit of hip hop-inflected R&B, with the kind of sinister groove that got Me'Shell noticed immediately after the record was released.

Do Not Pass Me By – Vol 2 ... CD Universal Awareness/Numero, 1973. Used ... $6.99
The even more obscure second volume to the great soul/gospel classic Do Not Pass Me By – and like the first, the product of a wonderfully spiritual setting on Chicago's south side – music created in the church, but with all the same vibe as the hippest secular soul coming from the Windy ...

Black Album ... CD Prince, 1987. Used ... $34.99
Recorded in 1987, but never officially released until 1994, when Prince was trying to get out of his Warners contract.

Mid 60s magic from a record label that only lasted a few short years – yet one that's gone on to have as much prominence for real soul collectors as the music of Atlantic and Motown!

Lou Rawls/Capitol/Music Images, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A pretty great little live set – recorded in Central Park in the late 60s, before a very large crowd!
