New Copy CD...$15.99 (LP...$19.99) Strange and incredible mid 70s atmospherics from Jean-Pierre Massiera -- dark atmospherics that roll from heady psyche rock to cerebral funk and proggy dynamics -- taken to a far deeper dimension thanks to Massiera's hypnotic use of tape samples and layered vocal errata! It's amazing how much is ... (Rock)  Jackie Mittoo Money Makers Creole Stream (Japan), Late 70s. New Copy CD...$21.99 Sweetly bubbling soul from Jackie Mittoo -- a rare session that's plenty heavy on his trademark organ work -- spun out over grooves that run from familiar rocksteady to more unusual rhythms too!

New Copy CD...$19.99 A rare jazz nugget from the late 60s -- a pretty great trio set by the Joel Zelnik Trio -- an American combo, but one with a groove that's every bit as hip as some of the best European piano groups of the time! Zelnik plays the lead instrument, but the album's definitely a strong three-sided ... (Jazz)  Minnie Riperton Perfect Angel Capitol/Micro Werks, 1974. New Copy CD...$8.99 9.98 (LP...$8.99, LP...$8.99) Minnie Riperton's first album for Epic -- and the record that broke her from a hip Chicago underground artist into one of the seventies' biggest soul divas!

New Copy 2CD CD...$19.99 A great title for this volume of African Pearls -- as, the notes explain, the music of Senegal can often echo the styles of Cuba -- given the frequent cultural exchange between the coastal nation and Cuban routs of commerce! Many of the titles here have a decidedly Latin influence -- but one that's ... (Global Grooves)  Burton Greene Live At The Woodstock Playhouse 1965 Porter, 1965. New Copy CD...$11.99 14.99 A long lost quartet recording led by pianist Burton Greene recorded at the Woodstock Playhouse in 1965!

New Copy CD...$16.99 Hauntingly beautiful work from Yasuko Agawa -- a set that has some echoes of older jazz and bossa at points, but also slides out in a smooth 70s soul mode too!

New Copy CD...$8.99 Organ funk from the midwest scene -- raw, tightly grooving instrumentals and the first full length release from Ohio's Jive Turkeys -- numbers that sounds right in step with the 70s instro funk of The Meters and the best of the contemporary indie funk scenes!

New Copy CD...$13.99 Heavy funk from 70s Ghana -- a sweet little set that's filled with rare and unusual grooves! The collection's got a strong focus on unreleased and very obscure material -- and from what we can tell, none of these tracks have been reissued at all! The work here is not only funky, but it's also got ... (Global Grooves)  Deniece Williams Niecy Columbia/Reel Music, 1982. New Copy CD...$10.99 12.98 (LP...$3.99) Totally great work from Deniece Williams -- still mostly free from the tinny pop of later years, and done in a solidly soulful style at Sigma Sound, with arrangements and production from the mighty Thom Bell!

(Funky Compilations)  Cheryl Lynn Cheryl Lynn (with bonus tracks) Columbia/Reel Music, 1978. New Copy CD...$10.99 12.98 (LP...$5.99) Massive work from the great Cheryl Lynn -- and a key bridge between late 70s disco and the newer grooves of the 80s club scene!
