O'Bryan

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

Doin' Alright
New - Vinyl - ST 12192
Sealed 1982 Original With Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. “Multi-Instrumentalist O'Bryan Got Into The Business After A Friend (Who Was In The Choir He Sang In As A Young Adult In Southern California) Married Ron Kersey, Who Had Worked In Philadelphia With Groups Like The Trammps In The 1970s. Upon Her Recommendation, Kersey Got O'Bryan Into A Group He Was Forming. That Quickly Fell Apart, But Kersey Helped The Singer Connect With Soul Train Impresario Don Cornelius, Who Helped O'Bryan Land A Deal With Capitol. During The '80s, He Cut Four Albums And Nine Singles That Made The R&B Charts. His Up-Tempo Tracks Could Sound Something Like A More Mainstream Prince, Though He Tread Far Closer To The Urban Contemporary Mainstream On His Ballads. "The Gigolo" Made Number Five In 1982.” - Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide more

Surrender
Used - Vinyl - ST-12520
1986 US original. Glossy, NM- vinyl. Jacket still in shrink with hype sticker. Silky mid-’80s R&B with synth polish and slow-burn intensity. O’Bryan’s falsetto glides over layered keyboards, electronic drums, and groove-forward arrangements that balance romance with dancefloor momentum. Surrender blends tender ballads and upbeat cuts with confident production, capturing the era’s sleek soul sound. Smooth, melodic, and unmistakably ‘80s in tone and texture. more
