Frantique —
Frantique ... CD Philadelphia International/Sony (Japan), 1979. Used ... $4.99
One of the more unusual albums to come from Philly International in the 70s – a set of Euro disco tracks by a French group, and not the usual homegrown talent who usually recorded for the label! The vibe here is maybe a bit more like some of the Prelude Records material of the time – ... (Soul) read more CD

Etta Jones —
Lonely & Blue (with bonus tracks) ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1962. Used ... $4.99
Hard to imagine Etta Jones being lonely and blue – especially when she sounds as great as this! The album's one of Jones' early classics from Prestige – a date that really has her classing things up a lot, and drawing on bits of Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington's styles, to mix in ...

Otis Redding —
Otis Redding In Person At The Whisky A Go Go ... CD Atco/Rhino, 1968. Used ... $5.99
One of many live recordings that Otis made during the height of his career – issued by Atlantic after his untimely death, and a great example of the kind of energy he was putting over while winning th crossover crowds!

Buddy DeFranco —
Buddy DeFranco Wailers (with bonus tracks) ... CD Verve/Definitive (Spain), 1956/1957. Used ... $5.99
One of the most obscure Buddy DeFranco sessions of the 50s – and one that's right on par with his best work for Verve at the time! As with other strong sets by Buddy of the time, the style here is rooted in swing but has plenty of bop inflections – and the tracks are mostly all past ... (Jazz) read more CD
Lester Young —
Lester Young With The Oscar Peterson Trio (aka President Plays With The Oscar Peterson Trio) ... CD Verve/Universal, 1952. Used ... $4.99
Lester Young joins the Oscar Peterson trio – and the result is a classic meeting of the minds from early 50s Verve! Young's tone is tremendous throughout – that sharp-yet-cool style that had such a big influence on other 50s players, and which gets some great support here from Peterson' ... (Jazz) read more CD

Kurt Elling —
Close Your Eyes ... CD Blue Note, 1995. Used ... $2.99
We want to hate this guy! Why? Well, because years ago, when he was still just a divinity grad student at the University of Chicago, we used to catch him sitting in on sessions all over the south side. At the time, his vocal stylings used to make us wince – but those years in the trenches ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Sade —
Lovers Rock ... CD Columbia, 2000. Used ... $2.99
It's been 8 years since Sade's last album, but rest assured, she's still pretty much the same! Her vocals are as lovely as ever – with that indescribable floating quality that always sends us, no matter how many times we've heard her songs on the radio. The production is slightly different ...

Tony Williams —
Believe It ... CD Columbia (France), 1975. Used ... $4.99
Crackling funky fusion from Tony Williams' "new" version of his classic Lifetime group – a quartet that featured some smoking guitar work by jazz rock legend Allan Holdsworth! The sound on the set is very full-on and jamming – fuzzed-out guitars taking over most of the tracks ... (Jazz) read more CD
Kids See Ghosts —
Kids See Ghosts ... CD Def Jam, 2018. Used ... $5.99
Kanye West's & Kid Cudi's joint debut as Kids See Ghosts!

BB King —
Live In Cook County Jail ... CD MCA, 1971. Used ... $3.99
BB King live at the Cook County Jail in Chicago – and given the amount of great live shows going on in the institution during the early 70s, the jail must have been one hell of a place to be incarcerated! This classic features BB King entertaining the prisoners with a wickedly sharp blues ... (Blues) read more CD
Kanye West —
Ye ... CD Def Jam, 2018. Used ... $4.99
Pop culture baggage aside, pretty mesmerizing stuff from Ye! Ye the album, if his persona hasn't turned you off by now, is a compelling effort from what we'll dub Kanye's "puzzle period" – this strange era of his recorded output that's a long time since his creative and popular ...

George Benson —
Body Talk ... CD CTI/Epic/Legacy, 1973. Used ... $4.99
A sweet funky classic from guitar genius George Benson – and a record that features some surprising soul arrangements from Pee Wee Ellis – also known for his classic work with the James Brown Band of the late 60s!

Honky Tonk Heroes ... CD Buddah, 1973. Used ... $4.99
Textbook badassery from the Waylon! One of the most defining moments of the outlaw era, Honky Tonk Heroes pretty much drew a line in the sand between Waylon and the Nashville establishment of the early 70s. Billy Joe Shaver's pen, and Waylon's authoritative voice marks this as one the strongest ... (Rock) read more CD

Pleased To Meet Me ... CD Sire, 1987. Used ... $1.99
One of their best! After a tumultous tour for Tim, Bob Stinson left the band and they essentially recorded Pleased To Meet Me as a trio as far as the core band goes, but went down to Memphis to record with Jim Dickinson, and too our ears, that little bit of southern swagger, as paired with The ...

George Benson —
Beyond The Blue Horizon (UK pressing) ... CD CTI (UK), 1970. Used ... $4.99
A great early CTI session by George Benson, and one of the most stripped-down, straight-ahead funky records he did for the label! There's a sharpness here that's different than the larger feel of some of Benson 's later records – a sound that almost links back to his soul jazz roots in the ... (Jazz) read more CD
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra —
Masterpieces By Ellington (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia/Legacy, 1950. Used ... $2.99
True masterpieces from Duke Ellington – some of his greatest compositions, presented here in an early Columbia LP that offers up "uncut concert arrangements" – clearly grooming a new side of Duke for the long-playing audience! The recordings were made in 1950, with players ... (Jazz) read more CD

George Benson —
Bad Benson (with bonus tracks) ... CD CTI/Epic, 1974. Used ... $2.99
Pretty mellow stuff from George Benson, but with some nice moments! Don Sebesky handled the arrangements for this set of larger backings – but Benson's guitar is right out front, hitting some super-dope lines at the best moments, stretching out from the warm Fender Rhodes or horn heavy ...

Peter Tosh —
Equal Rights (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia, 1977. Used ... $4.99
Peter Tosh's great, strongly strident second album – and easily one of his best! Equal Rights is up to par with the finest Wailers LPs, although this is a bit heavier than the groovy, mellow Legalize It, the more celebrated predecessor. A hugely important, essential set of mid-to-late 70s ... (Reggae) read more CD
Thelonious Monk —
Underground (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia, 1968. Used ... $3.99
One of the most gimmicky cover images ever used to sell the music of Thelonious Monk (and Monk himself hated the image) – but a key classic from his legendary years at Columbia Records! The album's got an edge that definitely lives up to its title – even if the cover photo is a bad ... (Jazz) read more CD
Clash —
Clash ... CD Sony, 1977. Used ... $3.99
One of the most stunning debut albums of the 70s – and a set that burst on the scene with a sound that summed up a generation, but which had never been heard this clearly before! This self-titled Clash album was different from other landmarks of the time – work by the Sex Pistols, ... (Rock) read more CD

The longest album ever from The Clash – a stunning triple LP set that really shows the group bristling with new ideas and energy throughout!

Handsome Boy Modeling School —
So. . . How's Your Girl? ... CD Tommy Boy, 2000. Used ... $3.99
How many different personalities does Dan the Automator have? Way better than we'd expected, but we were only expecting a sort of joke one-off project. We should have known better, given that Prince Paul's themed projects (like Prince Among Thieves) have been pretty dope. Guest spots by just ... (Hip Hop) read more CD
Weather Report —
Mysterious Traveller ... CD Columbia, 1974. Used ... $2.99
A new sense of focus in the Weather Report sound – that building, soaring groove that would become the group's trademark in the mid 70s – offered up here in one of it's first and finest examples! The approach is one to describe accurately on paper – but which is instantly ... (Jazz) read more CD

NWA —
Efil4zaggin ... CD Priority, 1991. Used ... $3.99
A stone classic from the west coast scene – and a record that just seems to get better and better over the years! What sounded like a disappointing, and way too calculatedly provocative follow-up to Straight Outta Compton back in 1991 now sounds to us like the peak of Dr. Dre's career as a ...

Stan Kenton —
Easy Go ... CD Capitol, Early 50s. Used ... $3.99
A cool collection of Capitol material from Stan Kenton – mostly sides from his classic years of the early 50s! The work here shows a lively, more upbeat side of Kenton's music – one that still has some modern moments, but which is more in a west coast big band style overall. All ... (Jazz) read more CD

Compton's Most Wanted —
Music To Drive By ... CD Sony, 1992. Used ... $3.99
The third and perhaps peak effort from Compton's Most Wanted – one of the strongest in the early 90s west coast gangsta scene! Then and now, Compton's Most Wanted stood out for the lean, moody approach to the sound and style, hewing strongly to the prominent beats and funk samples, but in the ... (Hip Hop) read more CD

Iggy & The Stooges —
Raw Power ... CD Columbia, 1973. Used ... $4.99
One of the wildest records of the early 70s – and it's still pretty darn hard to argue with the power of this one – even if the meddling of the producers are nearly as legendary as the album itself! There's still such a manic energy the original release mix – one that clearly ... (Rock) read more CD

Stooges ... CD Elektra, 1969. Used ... $2.99
A record that no home should be without – and a stunning set that still carries all the raw power it did way back in 1969!

Beautiful modernist work from Kenton – one of the first albums to cull his genius together as a whole, filled with the kind of tracks that perfectly sum up his unique approach at the time!

Lush Life (Jazz Heritage pressing) ... CD Prestige/Jazz Heritage, 1957/1958. Used ... $1.99
Strong work from John Coltrane's early years as a leader – even if the album is sort of a collection of tracks that Trane recorded for Prestige, instead of a discreetly separate session! Side one features Coltrane's tenor in a spare setting with Earl May on bass and Art Taylor on drums ... (Jazz) read more CD
Thelonious Monk —
Criss-Cross ... CD Columbia, 1963. Used ... $3.99
A title and cover that beautifully illustrate the sharp-edged power of the Thelonious Monk quartet on Columbia – and a wonderful place to start if you're just digging Thelonious' music!

In A Silent Way ... CD Columbia/Legacy, 1969. Used ... $3.99
