___________

Dee Dee, Barry & The Movements – Soul Hour – MPS

Rare LP of soul covers recorded in Switzerland 1968. Heavy breaks on “Get Out Of My Life Woman” “Funky Broadway” and others. Scarcer than dolphin shit. (VG+/EX) SOLD

Roland Haynes – 2nd Wave – Black Jazz

One of the rarer titles on this collectible label. Awash in moody keys and frantic, funky breaks… check out the dope Title Track (VG+/EX) SOLD

Monk Higgins – Extra Soul Perception – Solid State

This record gets a bad rap as “1995 wall of fame” but I think it’s filthy. Big Band Chicago Funk with samples and beats all over. Check out the Title Track (EX/EX) SOLD

Jongo Trio – S/T – Farroupilha

Obscure and good 60s bossa-jazz trio. LP features songs written by Baden Powell, Marcos Valle, Johnny Alf, Edu Lobo, Vinicius de Moraes, and Hermeto Pascual. Listen to “O Menino Das Laranjas” (VG+/VG+) SOLD

Sam Taylor, Jr. – The Tunnels Of My Mind – GRT

Under-the-radar funky soul LP written mostly by Taylor himself. While most of the cuts fit comfortably in with 70s soul material by the likes of Syl Johnson or Johnnie Taylor, but check out the deep Title Track (VG+/EX) SOLD

Sun Ra – Outer Reach Intensity-Energy/Stars That Shine Darkly… – Saturn

Actually there are five songs on the first side, which you can see in the picture. Listen to “Outer Reach Intensity-Energy”. 1985 release on his label. plain red 12″ sleeve (EX/EX) SOLD

The 13th Floor – Steppin’ Out – Blue Candle

Rare 1977 Florida soul LP. A combination of instrumental funk and soul cuts including a great version of “Sweet Thing” and my favorite, the dancefloor-ready “Rise”. (EX/EX) SOLD

Alton Ellis – Sings Rock And Soul – Coxsone

Essential rock steady LP, highly recommended. Original JA Coxsone issue. Stock copy, plays VG+. Check the classic “I’m Still In Love With You” (EX/VG+) SOLD

Oliver Sain – Main Man – Abet

Shit man, the only copy of this I’ve ever found. Listen to the classic “On The Hill”. A few marks, plays great (EX/VG+) SOLD

Mike Curb – Mary Jane OST – Sidewalk

Yet another hardcore psych-biker-drug ost on Sidewalk with some killer moves. Check out “Bay City Boys”. (EX/EX) SOLD

Original Wings – Change This World – EMI Nigeria

Nigerian rock-pop LP featuring the excellent afrofunk cut “Igba Alusi” (EX/EX) SOLD

Fred Wesley & The JBs – Damn Right I Am Somebody – People

Rare promo issue with one song that is not on the commercial release, “Damn Right I Am Somebody (Love And Happiness) A Tribute To Disc Jockeys And Radio Stations”, which features James Brown himself throwing shout outs to his favorite DJs and artists over the JBs playing Al Green’s classic. (VG+/EX) SOLD

The Checkmates LTD. – F/S/O – Rustic

Cool 70s funky soul LP produced by Sonny Charles on this small label. My favorite on here is the slamming downtempo “I Must Be Dreaming” (NM/EX) SOLD

Steve Cropper – With A Little Help From My Friends – Volt

God, I don’t know why people sleep on this one. The MGs guitarist cuts a solo album, covers “Land Of 1000 Dances”, “Funky Broadway”, “Midnight Hour”, and the title cut, awesome and cheap, check out “Crop Dustin’” (EX/EX) SOLD

Leroy Hutson – Love Oh Love – Curtom

One of my favorite soul LPs ever. Listen to “I’m In Love With You Girl” and tell me you don’t believe. 2nd issue with the border cover (EX/EX) SOLD

Lincoln Chase – Chase ‘n You – Paramount

Trippy jazz-psych LP. Bill from Jazz West in Baltimore told me, as I bought this record, “this is really just a record people would put on when they do drugs.” Listen to “Amos X, Andy Lamumba, and Auntjemimanomo”. Cover is worn but strong (VG/VG+) SOLD

Pride – S/T – Warner Brothers

Psych rock group produced and written by David Axelrod with southwestern themes and ethereal vocals. Check out “Proud Sorrow” (EX/EX) SOLD

Guitar and banjo-accompanied solo porch blues. Check out “Black Snake Moan” (VG+/EX) SOLD

Ennio Morricone – Le Serpent – RCA (France)

1973 soundtrack to this suspense movie, featuring the cop show-esque “Nadine”. Also gets quite abstract on the b-side, sound and percussive tension (VG+/EX) SOLD

Grading according to this scale:
Jacket/Vinyl
NM (Near Mint): Record has been opened, and probably played, but is in impeccable condition. Rarely used
EX (Excellent): Has signs of use or storage, but still considered top collection quality. Jackets may display some very light wear; vinyl may have a few light sleeve marks only visible in the highest light. Sound will full and clear, with little if any noise (NOTE, some records are just pressed poorly).
VG+ (Very Good Plus): Still a nice copy but has a bit more wear. Vinyl may have some light scuffs or scratches, but nothing deep. Jacket may have some ringwear or seamwear. Sound should be great, with minimal if any noise.
VG (Very Good): A great play copy but clearly used. Vinyl will display many hairline scuffs or scratches, but will play with a tolerable amount of noise. Jacket may have splits and wear but will not be falling apart.
VG-, G: A record that has not been taken good care of. Will display scuffs, scratches, warps, and other defects. Will NOT skip unless otherwise noted, but will play with noise.

    if these are all sold then why keep them up on the page?

  9. Jonny Says:
    October 31st, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    Well… for a few reasons. First off, not all of them are sold. Of course, the ones that are in high demand usually sell within hours of posting them, but some are still around. Second, and this is my fault, I’m really bad at updating these lists. And third, because it’s a testament to the quality of merchandise being offered here. I try to answer emails and calls for any items as quickly as I can even if the record was sold back in 2006. Anyway, thanks for checking in and I hope you come visit us in person (all the best stuff is off-line!) cheers, jonny
