Bell & James - Bell & James (LP)
A&M AMLH 64728, 1979 Netherlands Soulful Philly disco with Livin It Up always a great weekend kick starter anthem. Ask Billie was flipped by Lord Finesse on a Terror Squad production if my memory does not fail. Record with hairlines but plays well.

Ben E King - Let Me Live In Your Life (LP)
Atlantic SD 19200, 19 United States Underrated effort from Ben E King. Holds the 9th Wonder sample of I See The Light but there is a lot more on offer. Lamont Dozier wrote most of the songs. I would emphasize Wonder Woman and Spoiled as two of the the h...

Bill Wolfer - Wolf (LP)
Constellation 96.0187-1, 1982 Europe This is a great album and should appeal both to disco and boggie fans. Famous for the disco version of Papa Was A Rollin Stone but there is much more on offer including Camouflage with lots of Vocoders. Michael Jackso...

Billy Preston - On The Air (LP)
Blow Up INT 145.513, 1984 Germany Billy Preston still going strong by '84. Popular choice for disco heads with the Hi NRG sounding And Dance but I prefer the modern soul tune in If You Let Me Love You. Top shape!

Bloodstone - Don't Stop (LP)
Motown M7-909R1, 1978 United States I'm Just Doing My Job will surely get sample freaks head nodding but much more on offer on movers like Don't Stop or Just Wanna Get The Feel Of It. Great album for Motown by the soul grouping. Rare US pressing with pr...

Bloodstone - Party (LP)
T-Neck FZ 39146, 1984 United States Killer eighties funk and a must if you dig this sound of fat bassline, tasty vocals and fine synth solo work. Contagious is a real blast and Bloodstone's Party more funk of similar caliber. Minty fresh original US pre...

Bob McGilpin - Superstar (LP)
Butterfly FLY 010 , 1978 United States The tittle track Superstar is a solid disco spin with some cosmic elements. Move In Closer is not a bad call either. US gatefold 1st press in strong VG+ condition. Small writing on label and light cover wear.

Brass Construction - Brass Construction 6 (LP)
United Artists LT-1060, 1980 United States If Randy Muller is involved this always serves as good indication of funkyness and this later Brass Construction album is indeed funky. Mixed bag of mellow soul, boogie and disco funk. Start With Do Ya for a little fe...

Brass Construction - Brass Construction II (LP)
United Artists UAS 30 016 , 1976 United Kingdom Hard to match the quality of their exceptional debut but somehow they pull it off. Hip Hop breaks on The Message and What's On You Mind but I would favour the two disco funk spins in Sambo and Now Is Tomorrow. Essent...

Champaign - How 'Bout Us (LP)
Columbia JC 37008, 1981 United States Great debut album release by Champaign. I'm On Fire was flipped by Brother Ali but the deal maker in my ears is Can You Find The Time that works in the clubs everytime. US original in straight EX condition, light inau...

Champaign - Woman In Flames (LP)
CBS 26018, 1984 Germany Classic 80s funk material with On And Off Love the best bet. The Mardi Gras affair also works well. Solid EX condition with text inner sleeve.
