It was requested and here it is @ 320.
A
severely underrated player during his lifetime, Grant Green is one of
the great unsung heroes of jazz guitar. Like Stanley Turrentine, he
tends to be left out of the books. Although he mentions Charlie
Christian and Jimmy Raney as influences, Green always claimed he
listened to horn players (Charlie Parker and Miles Davis) and not other
guitar players, and it shows. No other player has this kind of
single-note linearity (he avoids chordal playing). There is very little
of the intellectual element in Green's playing, and his technique is
always at the service of his music. And it is music, plain and simple,
that makes Green unique.

Fantastic harmony soul LP with great Chicago soul production by Gene Chandler,
and singing from Mel & Tim that will blow your mind! The tracks are
a fantastic example of the sort of psychedelic soul sound that was
coming out of Chicago at the time -- with tight catchy hooks in the
songs, soaring soulful harmonies, and excellent instrumentation that
has some good fuzzy bits and nice hard drums.

We have posted the first Malo album here.
Here is the next 3 albums of a group which mix Latin Rock, Funk and Soul.
In
1970 the Malibus changed their name to Malo and things started
happening with a guitarist was brought in by the name of Jorge Santana,
the brother of the already famous Carlos Santana. At times numbering as
many as ten or more musicians, Malo's powerful sound was different to
that of Santana in that the line-up included a serious
horn section, which included, at various times, leading trumpet player
Luis Gasca, as well as percussionists Coke Escovedo, Francisco
Aguabella, Victor Pantoja and Richard Bean (of Sapo fame).They were
signed to Warner Brothers Records and recorded their first album, which
was simply enti... |

 I finally obtain this vinyl after a long time searching.
This
is the debut LP for Sussex records in 1972. Very rare even to find it
on mp3. Not to be confused with 1975 RCA album with only her name too.
Even All Music is wrong having 1975 songs in this album’s song list.
One
of the most amazing singer/songwriters of the 1970s. Sometimes funky,
sometimes sensitive. Zulema's distinct style of soul is always
dramatic, passionate and unapologetically in-your-face. This lady
doesn't play around! Like her lyrics, her voice is powerful, holding
nothing back. At times, her full-blown delivery is similar to the style
of Chaka Khan, yet Zulema's fire is distinctly her own.

Frequently
compared to Aretha Franklin, singer Margie Joseph earned neither the
fame nor the critical success lavished upon the Queen of Soul, but a
series of excellent records for Atlantic during the 1970s nevertheless
won her a spot in the pantheon of soul cult favorites.
A great second generation southern soul singer
who really helped the label find a new sound in the 70s! Margie got her
start on Stax, but she sounds even better here -- a bit more mature,
slightly more urban.
Producer Freddy Briggs
took the helm for Joseph's , "Your Sweet Loving"; released in the
summer of 1970, the single proved a mi... |
