Republic/Universal, 2004. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $19.99 36.99
Akon's got a look on the cover that resonates with a certain side of the American hip hop aesthetic from the early part of the century – but his vocal style is very different than most, and has this cresting sweetness that really works to create a great sense of tension with the material in ...

Polydor/Universal (France), 1973. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $21.99 39.99
A very different soundtrack than usual from the great Claude Bolling – not the "jazz meets classical" work that would bring him fame at the end of the 70s, nor the more trad jazz modes of his 60s recordings – and instead a fully-fleshed film score that's filled with wonderful ...

Stax/Jackpot, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 30.99
Booker T & The MGs – definitely doing their thing on this late 60s cooker – and moving their instrumental sound into a whole new range than before!

Stax/Jackpot, 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 30.99
A great little record from Booker T and group – often overlooked amidst the range between Green Onions and Melting Pot, but a very strong album of soulful Memphis instrumentals all the way through!

Vault/Real Gone, 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 36.99
A righteous treasure from the end of the 60s – an album of vocal tracks recorded by the Minister Of Information for the Black Panther Party, set to backings from the legendary jazz visionary Horace Tapscott!

Digitmovies (Italy), 1979. New Copy ... $13.99 24.99
That's a sexy-looking lady on the cover – sliding on her cutoffs after a rendezvous in the dark – and the sound of the album definitely fits the image, at least at the start!

Raven/Freestyle (UK), 1988. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99 26.99
A rare bit of UK soul from Rick Clarke – a sweet little set that's got a nicely lean feel – part of that 80s UK style of R&B that really seemed to set the scene for the coming years that would give the world artists like Omar and Soul II Soul! The groove here definitely echoes some ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Caldera (Germany), 1964. New Copy ... $9.99 19.99
An excellent serious score from Gerald Fried – very different than some of his sci fi or TV work, and handled with a depth that really fits the material!

PMP/Rush, 1995. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $19.99 35.99
A huge 90s album from Montell Jordan – one that formed a big bridge between the worlds of hip hop and R&B, and which has had some surprisingly strong legs in the years after it was first crafted!

Cinedelic (Italy), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 34.99
A record that's very different than you might expect from the title – not 70s crime/cop material from the Italian scene, and instead a much richer, more sophisticated soundtrack from the late 60s – one that really makes great use of the darker, moodier side of the talents of Egisto ...

Digitmovies (Italy), Mid 1970s. New Copy 2CDs ... $14.99 32.99
Really charming work from Franco Micalizzi – a trio of mid 70s soundtracks, all lovingly put together!

Love/Svart (Finland), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $16.99 34.99
Wonderfully enigmatic work from the Finnish scene of the 70s – music that has roots in folk, but expression in some of the more fusion-based styles of the time!

Etc (Italy), 2024. New Copy ... $11.99 29.99
Radius really have something unique going on here – a set that's somewhere in club territory, but which also mixes things up with all sorts of cross-cutting rhythms, very abstract keyboard parts, and other instrumental touches!

Tru Thoughts (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $19.99 32.99

Columbia/Kent (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $7.99 18.99
Massive soul from Freddie Scott – exactly the kind of set that has us wondering why he wasn't a bigger star back in the 60s!

Fame/Kent (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $7.99 14.99
Tremendous early work from the great Candi Staton – coming across here as much more of a deep soul singer than on her later club and disco tracks – thanks to rock-solid production from Muscle Shoals legend Rick Hall – probably the best producer ever to work with Candi's voice! ...

A great tribute to the late Sam Cooke – recently departed at the time of this 1965 album, taken from the world all too soon!

Cellar Live (Canada), 2024. New Copy ... $19.99 34.99
Eric Alexander plays here in a setting that's both a nice change, and a familiar one too – familiar in that he's on tenor throughout, instead of the alto he's been treating us to on recent albums – but changed up in that the players are less familiar musical partners for Eric, which ...
