Stella ... CD Mercury, 1985. Used ... $2.99
Thank John Hughes & Ferris Beuller for the fame of this one – the album that pushed Yello over the top with the perennial favorite "Oh Yeah" – a tune that's been used countless times over the years since that famous soundtrack, and which still resonates on TV commercials ...

BB King —
Completely Well ... LP Bluesway, 1969. Very Good- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
BB King soars into the 70s with this smoking little set – a record that still holds onto all the raw energy of his best 60s recordings, but which also gives the whole thing an even more soulful focus too! There's no arranger credited for the core of the record – which is attributed to ... (Blues, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue rim stereo pressing with Bell Sound stamp. Cover has some light wear.)
Maurice White —
Maurice White ... LP Columbia, 1984. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
The only solo album ever recorded by Maurice White – an upbeat and soulful set that's right up there with his best 80s work in Earth Wind & Fire! Like that group at the time, White's hitting a rhythmic side that's more electronic at points – letting beats and keyboard bits stand in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sire/Mute, 1982. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A seminal bit of pre-electro crossover – featuring the cold hard vocals of Alison Moyet, and also Vince Clark of Erasure. Some very tasty keyboard work!

Martin Circus —
Martin Circus ... LP Prelude, 1979. Very Good- ... $5.99
Excellent underground disco with a groovy French touch! The cover's a bit campy, but the record's got plenty of nice keyboard work, and offsets the coldness of the keys with some soaring strings and warm basslines. The standout cut is "Disco Circus", a 14 minute romp that's pretty darn ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some edge wear, light ring wear.)
Jr Walker & The All Stars —
Jr Walker & The All Stars Live! (1967) ... LP SOUL, 1967. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
Definitely hard wailing stuff from Jr and group – caught here in a smoking live setting, which really lets them open up!

Dr John —
Gris Gris ... LP Atco, 1968. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Loop ... LP Tuba, 1966. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the coolest, grooviest albums ever from jazz vibist Johnny Lytle – a set that really leans into the impact that he was having with the soul instrumental crowd, and which serves up tunes in these short, tight grooves that show why Johnny was the king of the stepping dancefloor in the ...

Booker T & The MGs —
Soul Limbo ... LP Stax, 1968. Near Mint- ... $34.99
Very hip work from Booker T & The MGs – an album that has them standing out under a pier by the ocean on the cover – clearly a long way from their Memphis roots! The sound here still has a good dose of those roots, though – but it also shows them picking up some hipper ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Roy Ayers —
Mystic Voyage ... LP Polydor, 1975. Very Good- ... $13.99
An archetypal album by Roy Ayers – and one that really shows him at the turning point of his sound!

Parliament —
Motor Booty Affair ... LP Casablanca, 1978. Very Good- Gatefold ... $19.99

One of the few cases in the history of pop music where the record is worth all the hype!
