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) $250

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) $60

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) $50

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+) $40

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

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.
