Firstly, a very Easter to all of you. We are Open Today Good Friday until 5.30pm and tomorrow 11-6 then closed Sunday and Monday reopening on Tuesday 11th at 11am.
There are some long awaited and excellent releases this week. Soul on the realside vol 15 is a great compilation of 70’s Modern Soul gems and one of the best in this long running series, essential listing. The Third volume of the Philadelphia international 50th Anniversary 8CD box sets ‘Love Is The Message’ has finally arrived containing the next 8 albums issued on the label.
Wilbur Niles made two obscure Jazz-Funk and Fusion albums in the late 70’s/early 80’s ‘Thrust’ and ‘Trust Too’ which are now extremely rare and expensive in their original form, now thankfully reissued albeit on very limited edition LPs, grab them whilst you can. Grupo Um have their mid 70s Brazilian Jazz unreleased album issue on both formats on Far Out and Soul Jazz have a Studio one Space Age Dub compilation. We have found a few copies of our long out of print classic Flying Dutchman Anthology CD in the warehouse and we are back in stock on a couple of good Dynamite Cuts 45s.

The new 45’s on Soul Brother, Expansion and Outta Sight have been very well received.

There have been some quite large price increases from many labels including Music On Vinyl, Ace and universal group of labels. We still have a large selection of titles available at the old prices whilst stocks last , but restocks will be between £3 to £10 (a few are more than that) more expensive when we reorder, so take your chance to buy these great albums at the old prices whilst they last (some have already been restocked and increased).
