Weekly update 17/5 - Paul Weeden, Rudy Ray Moore, Willie Wright, Don Bryant, Chet Baker, Sonny Rollins and more.

This Friday update comes with some great soul/funk records, nice jazz and a bunch of rock LPs as well. Paul Weeden's very uncommon "Attakullaculla", released only in Norway, has some great funky jazz moments. Ann Peebles' husband Don Bryant brings you some good Memphis soul and last but not least Willie Wright's rare 1977 LP has the beautiful "I'm so happy now". Willie also makes the following promises on the back cover: 
That it's not a disco record, that it might be tough for teenagers to understand - and that you'll enjoy it if you're into GUITARS! Other highlights are a bunch of Blue Notes and Prestige LPs, and a couple of Chet Baker records.

One of Sweden's finest jazz musicians, Mats Gustafsson (who plays on the excellent Swedish Azz-records), stopped by the store and brought this interesting contraption along. A 7" record with a built-in, manually operated record player in the fold-out cover!
