First Take
Roberta Flack ·1969
"Roberta Flack's First Take is great to have on vinyl. I was not familiar with this album... it's a solid album all the way through and I'm happy to have it on vinyl."

The Womack "Live"
Bobby Womack ·1967
"Bobby Womack calls his live album 'The Wack Live.' It's one of, in my opinion, one of the greatest live albums ever made, possibly even the greatest one really. It's amazing, it's recorded in a tiny little club in South Central LA and it's just smoking performances and full of joy."

Let It Be
The Beatles ·1970
"Here's the real reason why I wanted it: it comes with the original Glenn John's version of the Get Back album that the Beatles all rejected to a man and it has never come out for 50 years until now."

Here, My Dear
Marvin Gaye ·1978
"Marvin Gaye, such a genius. This was a double album that he titled Here, My Dear. It's a great album; it doesn't have like any of his big hits, but it's really a great record."

Marvin Gaye Live!
Marvin Gaye ·1974
"Marvin Gaye Live! is quite extraordinary; it's a really fantastic live album all the way through. What's extraordinary to me is this was at the peak of his commercial success right after What's Going On and Let's Get It On."
