 AL JARREAU – VERY BEST OF – AN EXCELLENT ADVENTURE CD £15.95
One of the most distinctive vocalists our music has ever produced. In the 80's/70's, his unique vocal style enthralled us on tracks like 'Roof Garden', 'Spain', 'We're In This Love Together', 'Never Givin Up, 'We Got By' and 'Mornin'. His live version of 'Take Five' highlights his vocal prowess. In addition to the 15 retrospective tracks, there is one new recording, the mid-tempo groover 'Excellent Adventure' Producedby James Poysner and Questlove. .

 ACE SPECTRUM – JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES CD £15.95
Really good vocal harmony album from 1976, co-produced by Tony Silvester , arranged and conducted by Patrick Adams. Includes a nice more uptempo version of 'Sweet Lights Soft Music And You' and the string laden modern soul dancer 'Live And Learn'. The Philly Soul dancer 'Magic Touch' and more typically P Adams 'Sooner Or Later' keep the tempo up. 'I Can't Keep Holding On' is a good 2-stepper and the title track a strong ballad. Quality mid 70's Soul.
also available Original Vinyl LP £25

 GIL SCOTT HERON AND BRIAN JACKSON – 1980 CD £12.95 (from mid oct)
Gil and Brian's last album together, is both lyrically and musically on point. Like the two albums that preceeded it 'Bridges' and 'Secrets' it has been re-mastered from the original masters and sounds incredibly fresh. The uptempo 'Shut Em Down' grooves along nicely , the mid tempo 'Alien', 'Willing' , '1980' and slightly faster 'Push Comes To Shove' have great melodies , and 'Shah Mot' features some really good keyboard lines. CD booklet Features some interesting new sleeve notes from Brian Jackson
also highly recommended 'Bridges CD £12.95 Secrets CD £12.95

 Barbara Lynn– Here Is Barbara Lynn CD £15.95
Classic 1968 Atlantic album from the under-rated Southern soul singer. Includes her all time classic uptempo dancer ‘You’re Losing Me’ and a great version of her big hit ‘You’ll Lose A Good Thing’, which has a more sophisticated backing than the original. The Detroit sounding dancer ‘Take Your Love And Run’ and the southern ballad ‘I’ll Suffer’ are also outstanding, and the Memphis style mid tempo ‘Multiplying Pain’ and ‘Sufferin City’ are also very good. Classic 60’s soul.

 8th DAY – THE 8TH DAY/ I GOTTA GET HOME DOUBLE CD £9.95
This release includes the two 8th Day albums plus all the recordings (credited or not) that they recorded for Invictus/ Hot Wax. The self titled album from 1971 includes the hits 'She's Not Just Another Woman' (single and album mix), 'Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Mo' and 'You've Got To Crawl'. The follow-up from 1973 has a funkier feel as evidenced by the mainly instrumental 'Cheba', the tough 'Heaven Is There To Guide Us' and the jazzy 'Anything'. The 2 albums contrast, the debut being in that Holland Dozier Holland Invictus style and the latter being more Sly like. Vocals from Melvin Davis (primarily)
Also available Original Vinyl LP’s 8th day £50 I Gotta Get Home £60

 LLOYD MILLER – A LIFETIME IN ORIENTAL JAZZ CD £13.95 LP £17.95
Multi-instrumentalist Lloyd Miller, originally from California must be one of the most interesting characters to play Jazz. Much travelled (Iran, Turkey Western Europe, Vietnam) has incorporated much of their folk music from these places into his Jazz work. Truly 'world music', this album interweaves these influences with a Coltrane/ Pharoah Sanders like groove. Check the elongated 'Indo European Improvisations' the Turkish influenced 'Gol-e Gandom' and the modal 'Chant Inca'. The synthesis in musical styles works. Mostly recorded in the 60's though some tracks are much more recent.

 Manhattans – Forever By Your Side CD £15.95
1983 album from the evergreen male vocal harmony group led by ‘Blue’ Lovett and featuring the vocals of Gerald Alston. The popular ‘Crazy’ is a good time 80’s soul dancer and the groups last major hit. ‘Locked up In Your Love’ is another good 80’s style dancer. ‘Love Is Gonna Find You’ and the slower ‘Just The Lonely Talking Again’ are nice 2 steppers. The Manhattans were best known for their ballads. and ‘Start All Over Again’ , ‘Forever By Your Side’ and ‘I’m Ready To Love Again’ wont disappoint. Strong album.
