Congregation – Jazz Alliance International
Right Tempo/Mono Jazz (Italy), 2024. 2LP Gatefold
LP...$40.99 46.99
A wealth of spiritual sounds from more recent years – served up in a killer
compilation that focuses on all the great new sounds that have been emerging
from different global scenes – a sublime blend of jazz, soul, Latin, and other
modes – all at a level that gives us plenty of ... LP, Vinyl record album (Funky
Compilations LP)


ANDREW HILL

Dance With Death (180 gram pressing)
Blue Note, 1968. Gatefold (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99
A wonderful session by Andrew Hill – recorded in 1968, but issued only briefly
in 1981 – and out of print for years! The session is a key one in understanding
Hill's work – as it's a bridge between the arch modernism of his early Blue Note
sides, and the more soul-oriented ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)


CHRIS SPEDDING

Songs Without Words
Harvest/Esoteric (UK), 1970.
CD...$15.99 21.99
A lost jazz gem from guitarist Chris Spedding – a musician whose work was such a
key component of many other important albums from the time, but who hardly ever
made a record like this! The album's much more jazz than the rock you might
normally expect from Spedding – strongly linked ... CD (Rock CD)


RAY ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

Let's Talk (with bonus tracks & download)
Harlem Sound/Now Again, 1973. (reissue)
LP...$23.99 26.99
One of those funk records that was even pretty darn obscure back in the day – at
a time when so many other funk records weren't so obscure! But obscurity aside,
the record also quickly grew into the stuff of legend – thanks to a groove
that's totally great, and which has all this ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul
LP)


KARRIEM RIGGINS

To The Jungle – Madlib Invazion Library Series Vol 8
Madlib Invazion, 2024.
LP...$21.99 24.99
A massive bucket of breaks from drummer Karriem Riggins – served up here in a
drums-only entry to the Madlib Library Series, at a level that might well make
it the funkiest of the bunch! There's definitely some slight effects used here
from time to time – maybe some edits too – ... LP, Vinyl record album (Sound
Library LP)


VARIOUS

Cherry Red (UK), Late 1970s/Early 1980s. 5CDs
CD...$36.99 44.99
A stunningly huge look at the post-punk scene in the UK from the late 70s into
the start of the 80s – served up here in an overview of bands both classic and
obscure, which makes for a package that's filled with surprises throughout! The
work here all comes from a time right after the ... CD (Rock CD)


VARIOUS

Niney The Observer Presents Dreadlocks Coming To Dinner – The Observer 7"
Singles 1973 to 1975
Doctor Bird (UK), Mid 1970s. 2CDs
CD...$17.99 23.99
A righteous batch of 70s reggae tracks, all produced by Niney The Observer –
including 15 tracks that haven't been in print since their original Jamaican
release back in the day! The cover and title are a play on a famous American
film of the late 60s – but the music here is pure ... CD (Reggae CD)


JOE BATAAN & OTHERS

Drug Story
Ghetto/Now Again, Early 1970s. (reissue)
LP...$23.99 27.99
Some of the most powerful work ever recorded by Latin soul legend Joe Bataan –
which you might expect, given the title and the cover! The set's actually a
collaboration between Joe and some of the other hip artists recording for his
short-lived but impressive Ghetto Records label – and ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Latin LP)


PABLO SCHNEIDER

Sobre La Hierba – Virgen
Discomoda/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1976.
LP...$29.99 33.99
A rare bit of soundtrack funk from mid 70s Venezuela – a set that's strongly
influenced by Italian cop/crime modes of the time, but sometimes served up with
a nicely leaner vibe as well! In addition to the funky guitar, tight basslines,
and jazzy horns you might expect – there's also ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Soundtracks LP)


VARIOUS

Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Vol 2
Rewarm (UK), 1970s. 2LP Gatefold
LP...$41.99 44.99
A collection that's maybe unlike anything we've heard before – music that's
acoustic, but groovy – easygoing, yet funky – served up by a really wide range
of artists, but presented with a style that's a really unified whole! Just about
every artist here is completely obscure, but ... LP, Vinyl record album (Funky
Compilations LP)


NEXT MORNING

Next Morning
Calla/Survival Research, 1971. (reissue)
LP...$21.99 24.99
A heady bit of work from this obscure Caribbean band – much more rock than funk,
but put together with a nice combination of both in the mix! We might link these
guys slightly to a group like Merda/Black Merda – maybe given some inspiration
from the work of Jimi Hendrix, but sometimes ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul
LP)


STYLISTICS

Love Is Back In Style (with bonus track)
Marathon/Omnivore, 1996.
CD...$14.99 16.98
A lost 90s album from this legendary vocal group – one that's definitely got
instrumentation and production that reflects the day, but with stunning leads
from Russell Thompkins Jr, wrapped up in all the best harmonies that the group
were serving up back in the 70s! There's a wonderfully ... CD (Soul CD)


HEATH BROTHERS

Heath Brothers – Paris 76 (180 gram pressing)
Sam Records (France), 1976.
LP...$24.99 39.99
A never-issued live performance by the legendary Heath Brothers – and a set
that's got the same freewheeling spiritual jazz vibe as their classic album on
Strata East! The group's a quartet here, with excellent piano work from Stanley
Cowell – who also plays mbira, and might also ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz
LP)


MARS WILLIAMS & HAMID DRAKE

I Know You Are But What Am I – Mars Archive #1
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1996.
CD...$11.99 15.99
Maybe one of the most striking examples of the genius of reedman Mars Williams
we've ever heard – a set of live improvisations with drummer Hamid Drake – done
in this really open, unadorned style that also has Drake really moving at the
height of his power too! Williams effortlessly ... CD (Jazz CD)


VARIOUS

Kambanane – Nyatiti Music from Kenya 1970 to 1985
Dagoretti, 1970s/Early 1980s.
LP...$18.99 24.99
Killer grooves from the Kenyan scene of the 70s – sounds that are very spare,
and very timeless – often just percussion, a stringed instrument, and chanted
vocals – all served up in a very driving, hypnotic blend! The set collects
tracks from a time when the initially rural ... LP, Vinyl record album (Global
Grooves LP)


BREAD & SOULS

Family Gathering – Chapter 1
Minipan (Italy), 2024.
LP...$29.99 34.99
A stunning record that takes us back to the glory days of cosmic sounds at the
start of the century – that moment when new ideas seem to be constantly
exploding from the London scene in a flurry of classic records that really
enriched our lives! That spirit is recaptured here beautifully ... LP, Vinyl
record album (New Grooves LP)


GRANDMASTER MASESE

Grandmaster Masese
Dagoretti, 2023.
LP...$18.99 24.99
A contemporary artist, but working here on a very ancient instrument – the
Kenyan obokano, which is a large eight-stringed instrument that brings out these
bassy tones that are completely unique – blended here with a second version of
the instrument, plus fuzzy guitar, bass, and other ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Global Grooves LP)


NRG ENSEMBLE

Hold That Thought – Mars Archive #2
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1996.
CD...$11.99 15.99
A searing live set from the legendary NRG Ensemble – a key bridge between
Chicago avant generations in the 80s, still going very strong in the 90s in this
stunning concert recorded in Utrecht! There's a lot of twin-reed frenzy in the
music – leader Mars Williams and Ken Vandermark ... CD (Jazz CD)


VARIOUS

Eccentric Soul – The Tragar & Note Labels
Numero, Late 60s/1970s. 2LP Gatefold
LP...$26.99 32.98 (LP...$27.99)
A double-length collection of work from two obscure Atlanta soul labels – the
Tragar and Note imprints, both run by local producer Jesse Jones! Back in the
day, Atlanta wasn't nearly as big of an outlet for soul records as it's become
in recent years – so Jones' labels were key in ... LP, Vinyl record album (Funky
Compilations LP)


PEOPLE

Nature's Melody
Ohrwurm/Tramp (Germany), Late 1970s. Gatefold
LP...$22.99 24.99
A German group, but one who've got a sweet, sunny sound that would have been
right at home in the Cali scene of the 70s! The harmonies on the record alone
are great – right up there with America or CSN – and the instrumentation has
slight jazzy currents, with a blend of acoustic guitar ... LP, Vinyl record
album (Rock LP)


GHETTO BROTHERS

Power/Fuerza
Salsa International/Everland (Austria), 1972.
CD...$10.99 16.99
A legendary record from one of the most unique Latin groups of their time! In an
early 70s world where many Latin combos were going for class and poise, the
Ghetto Brothers moved in another direction entirely – working here with a fair
bit of electric guitar alongside more familiar Latin ... CD (Latin CD)


O'DONEL LEVY

Simba
Groove Merchant/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973.
CD...$11.99 14.99 (LP...$25.99)
Fantastic sounds throughout – and maybe the best album ever by this legendary
70s guitar player! O'Donel Levy's got this tremendous sound that comes from
playing an electric hollow body – in a tone that takes the best bits of Grant
Green and Wes Montgomery, and strips them down for a ... CD (Jazz CD)


PIERO UMILIANI

Blue Nude/Life Goes On
Easy Tempo (Italy), 1978. (pic cover)
7-inch...$14.99 18.99
Nothing too blue about this nude – as the tune's a sexy little romp, and one
that nicely mixes up acoustic guitar, floating violin, and romping rhythms – all
set to some cool offbeat lyrics! The tune's an overlooked funky soundtrack cut
from Piero Umiliani – and it's backed here ... 7-inch, Vinyl record (Funky 45's
7-inch)


PIERO UMILIANI

Natasha & Rocco – The Wedding Party
Right Tempo (Italy), Late 1960s/Early 1970s.
CD...$14.99 18.99
A really unique collection of sounds from the legendary Piero Umiliani – one
that was created to be given away at a wedding party, and was never sold to the
public at the time! The work here is the coolest, grooviest side of the Umiliani
spectrum – and mixes together rare soundtrack ... CD (Sound Library CD)


VARIOUS

Groove Machine – The Earl Young Drum Sessions
Ace/Kent (UK), Late 1960s/Early 1970s.
CD...$13.99 18.99
A Philly soul legend finally gets his time in the spotlight – as drummer Earl
Young played on countless classic sessions back in the day, but rarely even got
his name in the liner notes! That lack of recognition is corrected here – in a
great package that puts Young's face on the cover ... CD (Funky Compilations CD)


VARIOUS

Discomoda Salsa De Venezuela 1964 to 1977
Discomoda/Olindo (UK), Late 1960s/Early 1970s. 2LP
LP...$25.99 32.99
A smoking overview of work from the glory days of the Venezuelan scene – that
moment when the nation's economy was opening the doors to rich new avenues of
expression – including the important Discomoda label, which recorded all the
gems on this set! The vibe is great – kind of a ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Latin LP)


SAN LUCAS BAND

Music Of Guatemala
Command/Bongo Joe (Switzerland), 1975.
LP...$28.99 32.99
A very wild record – maybe more free jazz than you'd guess from the image on the
cover, and the Guatemala in the title! These guys are a brass band, but the way
they mix their horns together often feels more like some Lester Bowie
experiment, or some other AACM-related project – as ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Global Grooves LP)


VARIOUS

Nippon Acid Folk 1970 to 1980
Time Capsule (UK), 1970s.
LP...$39.99 44.99
A great look at a key moment in the Japanese scene – an early 70s stretch when
musicians were going for a style that was warmer and more intimate overall –
which would then lead to all the big changes in music to come, but in very
surprising ways! Gone are the more postured rock modes ... LP, Vinyl record
album (Japanese LP)


ASH RA TEMPEL

Join Inn
Ohr/Made In Germany (Germany), 1972. (reissue)
LP...$30.99 33.99
A prog rock masterpiece from Ash Ra Temple – a set that still has the group in
very pschedelic, jamming, and improvisational territory – as they serve up two
album-length tracks that really soar to the skies on wings of sound! The group
here still features lots of great keyboards and ... LP, Vinyl record album (Rock
LP)


ISAIAH COLLIER

Parallel Universe (with booklet)
Night Dreamer (UK), 2023. 2LP
LP...$33.99 36.99
A really bold step forward for Chicago tenor genius Isaiah Collier – and maybe
the first record to showcase his emergence as a multi-instrumentalist instead of
just a spiritual jazz musician! There's clearly a lot of improvisation going on
here – not just from the larger ensemble, ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)


JULIAN LAGE

Speak To Me
Blue Note, 2024.
CD...$13.99 14.99
Guitarist Julian Lage is working here with a slightly expanded group, yet still
comes across with a sound that's as warm and intimate as some of his previous
material! The core trio with Jorge Roeder on bass and Dave Kings on drums is
expanded with the addition of Levon Henry on saxes, Patrick ... CD (Jazz CD)


ROY BUDD

Welcome To Blood City (plus Sandbaggers)
Caldera (Germany), 1976.
CD...$16.99 19.99
A rare score from the legendary Roy Budd – one done for a 70s sci-fi western,
and which has a great mix of modes to reflect that twist in the story! Some
tunes have very familiar western elements – a nice surprise, given that Budd
didn't work in the genre that much – and these ... CD (Soundtracks CD)


AYANY JOWI

Raging Buffalo
Dagoretti, 1970s.
LP...$18.99 24.99
Other-worldly sounds from a Kenyan fiddle player, but one who uses the
instrument in ways that are completely unique – a style known as Orutu music, in
which the instrument is used to spin out these hypnotic waves of sound next to
spare percussion and really incredible chanted vocals! There's ... LP, Vinyl
record album (Global Grooves LP)


MARS WILLIAMS/DARIN GRAY/CHRIS CORSANO

Elastic – Mars Archive #3
Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2012.
CD...$11.99 15.99
A really beautiful trio set from saxophonist Mars Williams – one that gets at
the interplay between tunefulness and improvising ferocity he could deliver when
he was at his best – set up here in a stunning trio with Darin Gray on bass and
Chris Corsano on drums! The set's a strong ... CD (Jazz CD)


JACKIE MCLEAN

Action (180 gram pressing)
Blue Note, Mid 60s. (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99
A triple-action classic from alto genius Jackie McLean – and one of those key
records from the years when he stunned the world by moving from hardbop into the
more experimental modes of the "new thing" generation! The approach here is very
formative – not just for some of ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)


VIOLENT FEMMES

Violent Femmes (180 gram 3LP/7" single set)
Slash/Craft, 1982. (reissue)
LP...$108.99 124.99
A surprising classic from the early 80s underground – a record that came to the
world from the scene in Milwaukee, where neither the group nor the rest of the
world would have expected the album to have such staying power over the decades!
And yet, from the very first needle drop, it's hard ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Rock LP)


RUTH GOLLER

Skyllumina
International Anthem, 2024.
CD...$13.99 14.99 (LP...$26.99)
Maybe the most haunting project to date from Ruth Goller – an important
collaborator on the contemporary London scene, but one who's got a style that's
much more than jazz – one that's definitely pushed to the limits here! The set
features Goller on electric and acoustic bass, with ... CD (Jazz CD)


TOI ET MOI

Aru Hi Totsuzen – Toi Et Moi No Sekai
Express/Universal (Japan), 1969. (reissue)
LP...$40.99 48.99
The sweet image really gets at the wonderful sound of this record – a Japanese
pop gem from the end of the 60s, and one that seems to mix together elements of
bossa nova and European grooves – all in this way that really fits the way that
the male and female vocals come together! The ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese LP)


GHOST FUNK ORCHESTRA

Trip To The Moon (seaglass vinyl pressing)
Karma Chief/Colemine, 2024. Gatefold
LP...$21.99 26.99
A really majestic album from this mighty nice group – a set that references
older space-themed albums from the postwar years, but which serves up the sound
in the best style of the Ghost Funk Orchestra! There's cool use of NASA dialogue
between some tracks – and rather than burst out ... LP, Vinyl record album (Deep
Funk LP)


ROYAL FLUSH

Hot Spot
GEC/P-Vine, 1980. (reissue)
LP...$29.99 36.99
A rare funky gem from the Chicago scene in the pre-house years – but a set that
also might be a crucial bridge between the city's 70s soul and the underground
clubs that would soon give the world a new groove! The group have plenty of funk
elements in the mix – kind of a tightened-up ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul
LP)


VARIOUS

New Guitars In Town – Power Pop 1978 to 1982 (3CD set)
Cherry Red (UK), Late 1970s/Early 1980s. 3CD
CD...$27.99 38.99
A set that might have you rethinking the early years of punk – as it shows that
right next to the short sharp shocks of the new sound, there was also a rebirth
of tight tuneful music too – a style that became known as power pop, even though
many of the acts were ever bit as indie as the ... CD (Rock CD)


JOY

Time Is Right
Music Take Me Up (Netherlands), Late 1970s/Early 1980s.
LP...$31.99 34.99
An obscure gospel group, but a great one too – thanks to plenty of secular soul
inflections in their music, which gives these classic tracks a real crossover
appeal! The group hail from San Diego, maybe a bit farther off the gospel map –
and they've got this warm way of blending subtle ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Gospel LP)


PIERO UMILIANI

News/Top Secret
Easy Tempo (Italy), 1980. (pic cover)
7-inch...$14.99 18.99
The news is pretty darn jazzy here – thanks to a quick-stepping bassline, cool
marimba, and snapping snare – all of which give "News" a very groovy jazz
soundtrack feel – like something lifted off an obscure soundtrack from the early
60s! But halfway through, some cool ... 7-inch, Vinyl record (Funky 45's 7-inch)


TAMMY WYNETTE

You Brought Me Back (with bonus tracks)
Epic/Morello (UK), 1981.
CD...$12.99 16.99
A mid-career gem from Tammy Wynette – and a set that's very different than some
of the more biting material of her early days! Tammy here is singing of life's
trials and challenges, from a perspective that was documented famously in her
own semi-public life – and served up here with ... CD (Folk/Country CD)


ART BLAKEY

Caravan (180 gram pressing)
Riverside/Craft, 1962. (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99
One of the best non-Blue Note sessions from Art Blakey in the 60s – a really
searing set that features the sextet lineup of the Jazz Messengers – a group
that's filled with legends who include Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Wayne Shorter
on tenor, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Reggie Workman ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Jazz LP)


BOVEL

Changes
Athens Of The North (UK), Mid 1990s.
CD...$13.99 15.99
Obscure British soul from Bovel – a Manchester singer from the mid 90s, and one
who's got a vibe that's very different than the more popular London soul of the
same time! Bovel clearly came up through the underground, and embraces a host of
important musical currents here – while also ... CD (Soul CD)


GERRY WEIL

Message
Olindo (UK), 1971. (reissue)
LP...$20.99 32.99
A lost masterpiece of modern jazz from the Venezuelan scene at the start of the
70s – a record that mixes together acoustic and electric elements with
effortless ease – maybe echoing some of the best Gil Evans experiments of the
time, but also vibing with the cooler European work on ... LP, Vinyl record
album (Jazz LP)


CHOSEN FEW

Taking All The Love I Can
Maple/On High (Canada), 1972. (reissue)
LP...$22.99 28.99
A really obscure soul trio from the New Jersey scene of the 70s – and one who've
got a nicely rough-edged approach to their harmonies! The record's definitely in
the grittier side of the scene – more funky 45 production overall, and a nice
current of funk on the record at times too ... LP, Vinyl record album (Soul LP)


MOJO

Issue 364 – March 2024 (with bonus CD)
Mojo, 2024.
Magazine...$15.99
Paul McCartney is on the cover, and they even got him to sit for great interview
to discuss 50 Years of "Band On The Run" – plus a free CD featuring a slew of
great bands inspired by that classic album! Other great features including Jon
Anderson on the trailblazing prop pedigree ... Magazine (Magazine)


CLASSIC EXAMPLE

Classic Example
GSF/On High, Early 1970s. (reissue)
LP...$22.99 27.99
A wonderful album from this beautiful soul duo – a pair who kind of take the
earlier Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell mode into a sweet 70s groove – all with help
from members of The Crusaders on the backing! Most numbers feature the male
singer stepping out a bit more in the lead, but in ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Soul LP)


STEVE SWELL

Dances With Questions (3CD set)
Not Two (Poland), 2024. 3CD
CD...$35.99 39.99
Trombonist Steve Swell works here in a shifting set of groups, all recorded
during a festival performance in Poland – with smaller group outings on the
first CD, and much larger ensemble expressions on the final two discs! Swell is
a hell of an improviser, but here he's clearly stepping into ... CD (Jazz CD)


MILDLIFE

Chorus
Heavenly, 2024.
CD...$13.99 14.98
Mildlife serve up a very classic groove, but one that's maybe got more 80s
elements than their previous work – in part because the vocals often use
processing to come across in a very cool way! The music is funk, but with some
nice tightness too – almost a leaner take on the wider ... CD (Deep Funk CD)


ALAN HULL

Singing A Song In The Morning – The Legendary Demo Tapes 1967 to 1970 (4CD set)
Grapefruit (UK), Late 1960s. 4CD
CD...$31.99 39.99
Brilliant early work from Alan Hull – best known as the creative guiding force
of Lindisfarne, but heard here on a whole host of earlier tracks that really
showcase his songwriting brilliance and really wonderful vocal style – most of
which have never been issued before! Hull's maybe a ... CD (Rock CD)


JOHNNY BLAS

Salsa Para Ti
CuBop/Ubiquity, 2024. 2LP
LP...$24.99 28.99
A long-overdue set from the great Johnny Blas – the percussionist who really
made the Cubop label so great back in the 90s, returning here with a sound and
style that's even more classic than ever! The instrumentation and production are
rock-solid throughout – no too-polished modes, ... LP, Vinyl record album (Latin
LP)


ODUOR NYAGWENO

Where I Go – I Am There
Dagoretti, 2017.
LP...$18.99 24.90
A very cool recording, done in Kenya on a cell phone in contemporary years – but
one that comes across with a very timely vibe, given that Oduor Nyagweno is one
of the last living masters of his craft! That craft is his handling of the
nyatiti instrument – an eight stringed smallish ... LP, Vinyl record album

CD...$10.99 14.99
It's past the disco years, and Crown Heights Affair have emerged nicely – with a
sweet modern soul style that's got a bit of 80s groove, and which shows a lot
more soul than some of their earlier work! The band's singing in a sweet harmony
style that works very well with the music – ... CD (Soul CD)


ELVIN JONES

Poly-Currents (180 gram pressing)
Blue Note, 1969. Gatefold (reissue)
LP...$36.99 38.99
The title's a great one for this post-Coltrane cooker from Elvin Jones – as the
set really has Elvin exploring some really fresh currents in jazz, with a range
of complicated rhythms that really pull the whole session along strongly! Rhythm
is really set free on the record – as Elvin ... LP, Vinyl record album (Jazz LP)


LONE RANGER

Badda Dan Dem
Studio One, 1982. (reissue)
LP...$20.99 24.99
One of the headiest Studio One albums of the 80s – as you might guess from the
trippy space-themed cover – a killer set of dee jay work from Lone Ranger, set
to rhythms that get nice and heavy! The set's one of those in the best meeting
of dub and dee jay modes – reworking both ... LP, Vinyl record album (Reggae LP)


BRIT FUNK ASSOCIATION

Ancestral Voices
Expansion (UK), 2023.
CD...$18.99 21.99
That's almost an Earth Wind & Fire-styled image on the cover – and the Brit Funk
Association definitely live up to the spirit of that scene – which is maybe no
surprise, given that group members have a legacy that goes way back for many
years on the UK soul scene! There's a warmth ... CD (Neo Soul CD)


JOANNA BROUK

Sounds Of The Sea (light blue vinyl pressing)
Numero, 1981.
LP...$21.99 23.99
Some of the moodiest, most majestic music we've ever heard from composer Joanna
Brouk – which might be a surprise, given that the initial release of the album
was only on a cassette with a relatively cheesy cover! There's a depth here
that's almost like 4AD at its mid-80s height – very ... LP, Vinyl record album

What Happened To My Blues? (orange vinyl pressing)
Ovation/Night Train, 1976. (reissue)
LP...$22.99 24.99
One of the greatest albums ever made by Willie Dixon as a leader – a really
cooking set done after years backing other folks up in the Chess Records studio

let Willie do his thing! Given that Dixon plays bass ... LP, Vinyl record album

Top Deck/Pressure Sounds (UK), Mid 60s. (reissue)

De-Lite/Octave (Japan), 1978.
CD...$10.99 14.99
A tasty little disco album that's a lot better than you might think! In some
ways, this might be Crown Heights Affair's most perfectly realized album – as
it's got lots of long tracks that mix the group's always-tight instrumental
style with a spacey soul sensibility that's quite captivating. ... CD (Soul CD)

Click/P-Vine (Japan), 1978.

KRACKER

Hot
Dash/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976.
CD...$14.99 19.99
An unusual set from Kracker – a record that's possibly more rock/pop at the
core, but one that definitely shares some of the soulful touches of other albums
on the Dash label too! The group dress like a funk band on the album's flipside
photo – and they've got vocal interplay that's ... CD (Soul CD)


MIGHTY RYEDERS

Help Us Spread The Message
Luv N' Haight, 1978.
CD...$7.99 16.98 (CD...$18.99, LP...$32.99)
A funky treasure from the 70s – a record that hardly made waves at the time, but
which has lived on strongly for years – thanks to a great sample history and key
interest from generations of groove diggers! Mighty Ryeders have a sound that's
clearly influenced by Earth Wind & Fire ... CD (Soul CD)


JIMMY HYACINTHE

Jimmy Hyacinthe
Discogram/Return To Analog (Canada), 1979. (reissue)
LP...$22.99 24.99
Jimmy Hyacinthe is posed on the cover like some 70s bluesman, but his music here
is much more global overall – plenty of grooves that echo his origins in the
Ivory Coast, but handled with qualities that are electric and a bit funky too!
The rhythms almost feel Caribbean at times, especially ... LP, Vinyl record
album (Global Grooves LP)


MANTLE AS MANDRILL

Moment Of The Sexorcist – Mantleslash
Mad 13 (Japan), 2023. 2LP
LP...$44.99 54.99
The album's great cover image is an homage to the Death Wish soundtrack by
Herbie Hancock, and Mantle references 70s funk group Mandrill in his name – but
the sound here is very different than either of those two references might make
you expect, more in a contemporary hip hop vein, but ... LP, Vinyl record album

One of our favorite albums of all time – and a legendary testament to the

HOT BUSH

Hot Bush
APA/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980.
CD...$14.99 19.99
One of the more obscure stars in the TK Records constellation – a one-off club

vocals of Bobby Bushe – hence the title! The set's got a rough take on the Miami
disco style of the time – a bit less ... CD (Soul CD)


SHOODY

Invitation/Lawson (Japan), 1980. (reissue)
LP...$42.99 54.99
A wicked bit of Japanese soul, and a rare album done by an American singer who

Soulful Akira Kushida – First Album/Bakuhatsu Suru Soul
Express/Universal (Japan), 1970. (reissue)
LP...$41.99
The very first album from long-running Japanese singer Akira Kushida – a set

Mercury/Verve, 1959. (reissue)

One of Max's many great records from the late 50's, most of which tend to get

It Hurts To Be In Love (with bonus tracks)
Blue Sky/Iconoclassic, 1981.
CD...$10.99 13.99
Dan Hartman cut some big records in the late 70s disco years, but this set has
him returning to more of the blue-eyed soul of his debut – music that's
well-produced and tight, and at times almost an update of older rockish modes
