Larry Coryel, Philip Catherine and Joachim Kühn in action for Elektra. Father Christmas and particularly their cover of Astor Piazzolla's Deus Xango stand out. Good guitar sample elements on here as well for productio...

Take It Or Leave It is a brilliant modern soul spin that has turned very popular but the album has got more on offer with One Step Away and I Wanna Do It Over Again. US original with cut out, wax is clean with only li...

Take It Or Leave It is a brilliant crossover soul spin that has turned very popular but the album has got more blue eyed soul on offer with One Step Away and I Wanna Do It Over Again. US original with cut out, wax is ...

May not be the best Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose album but it does hold a mighty fine cover of Bill Wither's Ain't No Sunshine and some modern soul treats like the excellent title track. Clean EX copy, cover has c...

From one of our many diggin tours in Scandinavia, this Cornelis Vreeswijk album is a must to all fans of European bossa nova. Sabu Martinez, Sture Nordin and Rune Gustafsson providing the backing. Great album and not ...

French one-off disco production mostly famous for the Kanye West flip of Afromerica but the better options to my ear are Call The Rain and Revelation. Copy in visually weak VG+ condition, some marks and hairlines, pla...

For anyone hunting rare German jazz records this is a seriously difficult one to track down. Conny Jackel of the Erwin Lehn Orchestra in charge and although a little to 'swinging' for my normal liking it does have goo...

Cuban dance rhymths for days on this seldom seen Areito release. The Rumbas and Congas work best for me but there is something for everyone on here. Clean breaks if you fancy some looping or mixing the tribal drums. E...

Traditional Samba school recording but rather than a 'live' take here you get a studio recording without the background 'noice' of people celebrating the streets of Rio during the carnaval. Cover in shrink, disc is cl...

Solid set of samba dancers on late seventies recording. I like the mid tempo pieces best on this one but some fast and furious stuff to be found as well. Check the enjoyable Pra Que Vou Recordar O Que Chorei for a fee...

Obscure Cumbia release with Paco Godinez and the Conjunto Costa Mar troupers. My favorites are Se Caso Dracula and the downbeat and sample ready Naila. German pressing in superb EX shape, cover still in shrink.

Very much slept on rumba recording straight out of Havana with Ni Yo Mismo Se and Para Vigo Me Voy absolute monsters for the floor. Upbeat, with tempo change, cowbell and percusion action all over the place. Cuban ori...

US deleted re-issue from 1993 of one of my favorite reggae albums of all time. The Congos, Cedric Myton and Roy Johnson, recorded this classic roots reggae masterpiece in 1977. The album is in my opinion Lee Perry's g...

One of their best with Love's Train an absolute club winner used frequently in Hip Hop. US original with record in clean EX condition, cover with spine to damage to spine that has been taped.

One of their best with Love's Train Ms Got The Body and other club winners. German pressing in strongest EX condition, cover with light storage wear.

Recommended boogie funk with two great spins in Shake and Dance With Me and Magical Woman. US original in VG+ condition.

Of the later Con Funk Shun albums this is the best one to my ear. Killer eighties funk highlighted by sublime Fever title track. Faint surface lines, plays strong EX, cover shows light crease on edges.

Not as heavy hitting to earlier Con Funk Shun albums, mostly slow jams but by and large good ones. US original in strongest EX condition, cover with light storage wear only.

Essential Commodores debut album. The intro on Assembly Line is so d... intriguing. The wonders of music right there for you. Who flipped it best is the question. Daddy O, Jungle Brothers, PE, 3rd Bass. Stunning NM co...

Jon Hiseman feeding his Colosseum II unit with a strong jazz-rock influx. Different in sound to the original Colosseum affairs but still a good listen particularly one that fusion and jazz-rockers would like.
