Sometimes an album literally blows you away. Somehow this 1969 album escaped us all. Cuts like ‘Bring On The Heartaches’, ‘I’m Only A Man’ and ‘Loneliness’ are just beautiful songs sung to perfection with sympathetic arrangements. ‘Walk Tall’ is another great late 60’s Soul song. There is even a big band jazzy tune called ‘I’m Related To You’. Click on the product below to listen to the tracks and buy the album.
Great Philly soul album from 1975 from the Modulations. ‘I Can’t Fight Your love’, ‘Love At Last’ are good Philly dancers. ‘I’m Hopelessly In Love’ is a really nice mid tempo track with great orchestration, however these are all overshadowed by the brilliant ‘Rough Out Here’ a hard hitting funky soul stepper.

Patrice Rushen's Prelusion marks her dazzling debut into the jazz world, originally released in 1974 on Prestige Records and now reissued on vinyl here in 2024.

The record effortlessly blends post-bop with elements of jazz fusion, highlighting Rushen's versatility across acoustic and electric keyboard. Her performances on acoustic piano and electric keyboards reflect a strong influence from Herbie Hancock, evident in tracks such as 'Haw-Right Now' and 'Shortie's Portion.' Despite her shift to R&B in 1978, Prelusion...

It contains 10 well crafted songs, highlighting her lovely unique voice. One of the standouts is her self produced mid tempo song 'Why Do You Keep Calling Me' which brings back memories of Minnie Riperton or Deniece Williams from the 70s. 'Photograph' is another lovely...
Zan is a brand new 80's style boogie album from Australian singer Zan Abeyratne and husband, and Mother Earth bassist, Neil Corcoran. This record could easily have been recorded in 1983, it has such an authentic feel. It consists of eight new tracks, mainly uptempo groovers. 'Follow My Heart' is a great soulful boogie dancer. 'Free (Boogie mix) ' is a bass heavy driving dancer. 'No Secret' is a bouncy floorfiller and 'Nightfall' is another highlight, but this album is good throughout. Don't miss out on this limited edition vinyl album.
