Linda Lewis 'So Many Mysteries To Find' / 'This Time I'll Be Sweeter' (Arista / UK / 1976 / Ex) £8 £4

( Under-rated artist who actually did some great stuff during her long career – 2 top sides here – one a floating, 2 Step 'Cosmic' style 2 Step groover and the flip a full on NS dancer – bit crackly so priced down from the usual £15… )

Sonlight 'Let's Help Them See The Light' / 'Ask The Lord' (Aspro / USA / 1982 / VG+) £30 £20

( Gospel Soul produced by the legendary 'Otis G Johnson' and actually sounds like an outtake from the Leo's Sunship LP as produced by Roy Ayers…!! Super summer vibes…has a coupla light pops here and there which I'll attend to before I ship – nothing serious… )

Jeanie Greene 'I've Been A Long Time Loving You' / 'Sure As Sin' (Atco / USA / 1960s / M-) £40 £30

Syreeta 'Black Maybe' (Tamla Motown / France / 1974 / M-/M-) £15 £8

( Did ya know Syreeta was / is Rita Wright who gave us the wonderful 'Touch Me, Take Me' biggie on Jet? Well – s'true. she was also married to Stevie Wonder for a while and this for me is just a G-E-N-I-U-S tune – thx Mel – pure "Black Consciousness" that normally only gets released on labels like Black Jazz / Strata-East etc – definitely not for the masses…written / produced and loved by the Master that is Stevie Wonder…STAND UP, SIR DUKE… )

Chaka Khan 'What 'Cha Gonna Do For Me' (WB / UK / 1981 / M-/M-) £30£15

LPs:

The AB's 'The AB's' (Moon / Japan / 1983 / M-/M-) £30 £20

( Rare, rare Jap Fusion set with the big 'Deja Vu' track but the whole LP is good – music from a bygone era…I have personally never even SEEN this before…stone, stone minter…

The Three Sounds 'Blue Genes' (Verve (gatefold) / USA / 1960s / Ex+/VG+) £5 £3 HOLD

( Cool 'Baptist Beat' from a golden era – sleeve is nice but wax is a bit crackly so priced low – few nice tunes on this but 'Blue Genes' stood out for me… )

Cannonball Adderley 'Soul Zodiac' (Capitol (Dbl LP / USA / 1972 / Ex+/Ex+/Ex+) £30 £20

( Lovely and clean copy of a wonderful LP – produced by David Axelrod, narrated by Rick Holmes and overseen by Cannonball himself – standout track? 'Cancer', I reckon – pure bunkum mystic spiritualism set to a cosmic beat… )

Marlena Shaw 'Marlena' (Blue Note / USA / 1972 / Ex+/M-) £20 £10

( Barely played…definitely one of Ms Shaw's trickier 70s LPs to find – lovely condition again – and worth the £20 alone for her amazing interpretation of Marvin Gaye's 'Save The Children' from 'What's Goin On' – awesome flute parts from whomever the flautist was on this session…!
