DeRobert & The Half Truths - I'm Tryin' (G.E.D Soul) £13 (sealed) 
Decent mix of Nashville funk and soul from a band quietly ploughing their own furrow in the soul world. 
Standouts are The Dole Pt 2, I Don't Get mad No Mo, Do It Alone and Write A Letter.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Give The People What They Want (Daptone) £14 (sealed) 
Another solid long player from this most consistent of soul groups, loads of highlights on the album including the straight up Northern Stranger To My Happiness, the classic Daptone sounding We Get Along, the sweet finger-snapper Get Up and Get Out and more. So good.

Various Artists — Purple Snow : Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound / (Numero) £80 

Immense 4Lp set with individual hard sleeves printed with 4 different designs housed in a thick box and including a 100+ page 12" x 12" hardbound book this has a lot of love gone into it's making! 32 tracks across eight sides of vinyl with over a dozen previously unreleased (not counting the 94 East and Flyte Tyme and Herman Jones tracks that Numero issued on 45s at the same time) this set chronicles a stylistic, technological and attitude progression in the sounds coming out of Minneapolis from the late 70s to the early 80s. 
Class release, stunning object! 4kg in weight so this needs it's own special method to ship!

Mind & Matter - 1514 Oliver Avenue (Basement) (Numero) £17 (currently sold out - back approx  Weds 5th)
Great archival resurrection of this time eroded piece of MN music history reveals there was more in the armory of the much sought after Mind & Matter group than the two sides of their solitary 45. Raw edged production gives this a live feel and at times the feeling of walking into a jam session takes you right up close to the musicians. Really good find: at times fragile and crumbling at others rock solid, a proper music journey through the often far-out ideas of an ensemble maybe too ahead of their time for their contemporaries.
