New York soul unit with an excellent modern soul album, not hyped enough. Sweet Music Soft Lights And You will match a top Barry White or Norman Harris production any day. Check the clip and judge by yourself... US or...

Strong jazz infused affair by Ben Sidran backed by Phil Upchurch, Randy Brecker and notably David 'Fathead' Newman. Sunday Kind Of Love and The Cuban Connection are my favorites. Arista US original with tiny cut out a...

Close The Door is one fine moment in modern soul history. Don't Miss When Someone Loves You Back. Overall a strong album by the Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes lead singer on a solo tip. US original in very decent VG+ ...

Sadly underrated affair by Detroit soul group Dramatics. She's A Rainmaker and Just Shopping are sweet soul harmonies begging to be looped. If you skip to Dramatic Theme you are in for some brilliant disco jazz fusion...

Raw opening break on Sweet Misery used by J. Dilla on Thunder. Lovely soulful cover of Many Rivers To Cross as well. German original from '73 with gatefold cover.

Always liked her cover of Uptight and with You've Got Your Troubles on here as well you are in for a safe pick. US original on Pickwick in strong EX condition.

Nice soulful disco vibes on this '76 Atco release by Impact out of New York with Bobby Eli involved. Famous for the Taboo and Happy Man that were released as 45s but the best track to me is Give A Broken Heart A Break...

Classic Motown material with Diana hosting The Jackson 5 and Bill Cosby for some Saturday night television entertainment. Good live version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Call Me while MJ and crew perform a soli...

Fascinating just how pioneering Motown and notably Berry Gordon Jr was, not only in musical terms, but also in pushing business. They certainly were not shy of pushing business through TV, sponsorship deals and promot...

Raw rhythm and blues with a crazy cover of Shout that last forever and the guys take off completely. I really dig the deep Blues Get Off My Shoulders as well.

British 5 piece gospel / folk unit with good feel covers some of big classics. A-side is the strongest, B-side all mellow but with some useful sample elements. Original UK press with flipback cover.

Excellent Norman Whitfield production with the almost 14 minuttes downbeat funkster Zoom as my personal highlight. Good soul dancer in Let Your Hair Down and You've Got My Soul On Fire. Perfectly clean record except f...

Underrated Temptations release including the DJ friendly Happy People instrumental and the AZ flip of I'm A Bachelor for the Hip Hop heads. James Gadson and Eddie Hazel among others are jammin on this one. Rare Gimmix...

Classic ATQC sample material with drums flipped by Tip on The Infamous Date Rape. US original with cover is shrink and cut out. Record is flawless.

Jermaine Jackson debut with a string of heavy hitters like Leon Ware and Johnny Bristol on board. Some upbeat soul for the floor to be found but give the ballad I Only Have Eyes For You a go for starters. Sounds like ...

Essential Curtis Mayfield album with Future Shock, Right On For The Darkness and Can't Say Nothin just a few of the highlights. German Buddah press in VG condition, lots of marks but all superficial and plays decent w...

Like new copy of this funky Pips release with Operator, Guess Who and Morning, Noon and Night all killer upbeat soul pieces. Back cover with small tear, otherwise NM all round.

Stone cold classic with those fat drums and subtle strings on I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby. Gene Page brilliance...

Underrated Barry White album backed by the Love Unlimited crew. Holds the smooth classic Under The Influence Of Love and I've Got The Hole World To Hold Me Up. Downright funky stuff. US original with cover still in sh...

Underrated soulful release by Dianne Steinberg with a fine cover of Barbara Lewis's Baby I'm Yours and the mellow Where Do You Go From Love. Nothing for the dancefloor but a great Sunday soul album. Top condition with...
