Vinyl Me Please Classics

Yeah this King Curtis fucks but it seems pretty unlikely at this point unfortunately. Guess we'll see soon enough, when are they revealed?

Roy Ayers’ Ubiquity is a beautiful, colourful and engaging album! Ubiquity also has a cozy, homely sound yet is very adventurous in spirit! I really hope Ubiquity ends up being a Classics ROTM! An audiophile pressing would be delightful!

The Ubiquity pick would be amazing but we have KC slotted for the month in front of Ray or Roy!
 
Minnie Riperton - Come To My Garden came out in 1970

Nina Simone - Black Gold as well <-- this feels more like "Soul Jazz" where as Minnie Ripperton is much more soul/r&b

I think this confirms King Curtis then? @TCell guessed
April: Otis Rush - Mourning in the Morning
May: King Curtis - Live at Fillmore West
June: The Jazz Crusaders - Old Socks, New Shoes...New Socks Old Shoes

And Storf said one of those was right. If the band is April, then the one guess that is correct has to be KC.

Black Gold came out under RCA Victor, which is Sony, not UMG. She had another album out in 1970 called Gifted & Black that was distributed under Canyon Records. I'm... not sure who currently owns it.

Minnie Riperton is a possibility, it looks like UMG currently owns the original label (GRT/Janus). I agree though, that it might be more straight-up soul than soul jazz.

Another possibility: Irene Reid - The World Needs What I Need (Polydor, currently owned by UMG)

Edit: According to discogs there was a 1972 UK Polydor release of Nina Simone's Gifted & Black so... maybe it's UMG? Still, that would be an extremely random pick, even by VMP's standards.

Wonder if it could be Minnie then, the way he said he was shocked no ones guessed this month leads me to believe it's a heavy weight record and not anything more obscure. Feel like a bigger name is more likely for this month.

If the band is the blues month a d the instrumental soul is a solo artist, what were some guesses on Twitter and Reddit that fit those???
 
More possibles for June (soul jazz):

Dorothy Ashby - The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby
Irene Reid - The World Needs What I Need

Blues could be Magic Sam Blues Band-Black Magic. Wikipedia says it was 68 but Discogs I think says 69. Technically credited to a band. I know that was guessed before on the interwebs.
