MFSB The Gamble-Huff Orchestra ... LP Philadelphia International, 1978. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Great grooves from MFSB – a set that shows the continuing sophistication that Gamble & Huff were bringing to their music – even at a time when they could have just laid back and kept on churning out the same sort of sound!

Dr John —
Desitively Bonnaroo ... LP Atco, 1974. Near Mint- ... $49.99
Tight funky work from Dr John – a second collaboration with producer Allen Toussaint, and a set that follows strongly on their Right Place record of the year before!

Dr John —
Babylon ... LP Atco, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $69.99
Seminal work from Dr John – one of his key late 60s albums that set the world on fire at the time – and which still stand as some of the doctor's greatest achievements!

Trammps —
Disco Inferno ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A landmark album from The Trammps – and a record that broke the group firmly out of the Philly ghetto, yet still carried all the best touches of the Sigma scene! Sure, the title track was a super-huge hit – thanks to a plug in Saturday Night Fever – but the record itself is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and lightly bent corners.)
Undisputed Truth —
Down To Earth ... LP Gordy, 1974. Near Mint- ... $13.99
Undisputed Truth at the height of their powers – still working in the psychedelic soul style they forged with Norman Whitfield at the end of the 60s – but with a groove that's tighter and sharper than ever before!

Blowfly —
Oldies But Goodies ... LP Weird World, Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $8.99
Here's a record we wish they would have used for the soundtrack to Happy Days – Blowfly cashing in on the 50s craze in the 70s, and offering up his own off-color version of a number of classic oldies! The sound is pretty darn goofy, but also has links to Blow's roots as singer Clarence Reid ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Best Of Booker T & The MGs ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good+ ... $19.99
What can we say? Booker T and crew are always tops in our book – and this album's as strong a batch of their classic singles as you'll ever find!

Dee Dee Bridgewater —
Just Family ... LP Elektra, 1978. Very Good+ ... $8.99
This one's a real shift from her earlier jazz-based work, or her recent recordings for Verve – and a sweet funky fusion album that Dee Dee recorded for Elektra in the late 70s.

Keep Love Alive ... LP Ovation, 1979. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A mixture of funky jazz, soul, and disco – recorded with a host of studio players and a smooth jazzy finish. The record's trying to keep the groove going from Eaton's Instant Hip LP – which was quite a minor hit for him – and although we love the bassist as a jazz player, most of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ben E King —
Street Tough ... LP Atlantic, 1981. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An overlooked gem from the later years of Ben E King – a sweet little set that shows that the singer was every bit as well suited to 70s funk as he was to the uptown soul of his roots! Ben's sweet voice soars wonderfully over bass-heavy grooves that draw on club and funk, but which also have ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mandrill —
New Worlds ... LP Arista, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Jerry Butler —
Love's On The Menu ... LP Motown, 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

As before, the best tunes here are ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Shalamar —
Friends ... LP Solar, 1982. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
A key album in the legendary 80s run of Shalamar – and a set that gets a tremendous amount out of a very stripped-down sound! The sound of Shalamar builds from a bit of bass, some snapping drums, waves of keyboards, and especially great vocals – warm and sweet, but never too commercial ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
Bar-Kays —
Light Of Life ... LP Mercury, 1978. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Proof that even a move to a major label couldn't keep the Bar-Kays down – as the group are working here in a great groove that's wider, fresher, and stronger overall than any of their Stax albums! Sure, the whole thing's not guitar-based funk all the way through, but the group are also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Betty Wright —
Travelin In The Wright Circle ... LP Alston, 1979. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Betty's got a smoother sound here than on some of her chunkier, funkier earlier records – but the approach is still a nice one – and we've gotta give Betty credit for pushing her sound into a whole new direction!

Cameo —
Feel Me ... LP Chocolate City, 1980. Very Good+ ... $6.99
A great 80s groove from Cameo – but one that's still done in the group's best early funk ensemble mode!

Whispers —
This Kind Of Lovin ... LP Solar, 1981. Very Good+ ... $5.99

OV Wright —
Into Something (Can't Shake Loose) ... LP Hi Records, 1977. Very Good+ ... $14.99

Mandrill —
Solid ... LP United Artists, 1975. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Sparkle – Music from the Original Motion Picture ... LP Atlantic, 1976. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A classic 70s soul soundtrack – and a dream of a combination!

The more stylistically sprawling of the 2 albums Prince released upon returning to Warner Brothers in 2014 – nicely recalling some of his better later 80s and early 90s material, post-Sign O The Times craft – but still moving forward, as opposed to reliving past glories!
