Guest Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) As part of my new found desire to sell all my vinyl I thought I would do a weekly 'Highly Recommended' sales thread. I'm going to use this to focus on 2 or 3 records. I'll be picking out 45s that seem to be lesser known/forgotten/underplayed etc or stuff that is IMO just quality. Prices inc UK postage, add £1 to them if it's being posted outside the UK. Prefer paypal on thes if poss. IMPORTANT: Where the track has already been posted in Refosoul I'm using those which means you may be hearing a soundfile that has noise/pops etc. All the 45s I am selling here are guaranteed to play as I have graded them not as they sound on the refosoul soundfile. Will try and do a mix of 60s/70s etc but this week I'm kicking things off with three 60s winners: Fantastic Four - Pin Point It Down - Soul Well known group on a major label so why is this unknown to a surprisingly large number of people? It's a dancer of sheer quality and deserves to get played out on a far more regular basis. From the very first note it grabs you and doesn't let you go until the very last note fades away! As you would expect these guys the vocal is superb with sublime male harmonies gliding along in the background. All this combined with a backing that lacks for nothing. Basically if you don't know this then bloody well listen to it... Price: £20 Condition: EX+ bb hole small sticker stain on label Quantity Available: SOLD OUT!! Major Lance - Do The Tighten Up - Dakar I was lucky enough to pick up a few mint copies of this a few months back, popped one into my DJ box and the others into my sales box ready for the next time I headed out. That just happened to be an all nighter at Bishops Wood and in my usual sales style I forced anyone foolish enough to get within talking distance of me to listen to it. There were some serious collectors and DJs in that night but only one of them knew this! The others bought it. OK so the title isn't exactly promising but believe me this 1968 up tempo delight has everything else right. Price: £25 Condition: M- Quantity Available: SOLD OUT!! Magic Tones - It's Better To Love - Mah's (red label) Detroit has produced some outstanding Northern Soul tracks and this stupidly cheap 45 is no exception. But like so many others it's been somewhat overlooked, maybe because it isn't rare, and never will be? Or maybe because it's seen as being too cheap to be worthy? I'm always being told by people that the price is never a consideration it's all about the quality.....but surely if that was really true then I would have sold this record in quantity as nobody can listen to this and tell me it's not a quality piece of mid tempo northern??? Price: £5 yep £5 and that includes the postage! Condition: I have small quantity of this 45, unplayed store stock. But labels on all have slight damage from being stored somewhere damp, nothing serious though. Quantity Available: SOLD OUT!! Edited June 23, 2009 by Guest
Guest Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Only one copy of the Fantastic Four left. Down to last 6 Magic Tones.....
Guest Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Danny's got taste ? Well, if you put it like that it does seem a bit unlikely But as I've always said, anybody that buys records from me must have good taste cos all my records are quality
Guest Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I bought my copy of Magic Tones from you a while ago, and I still enjoy it a lot. Superb tune and it doesn't seem right that it should be this cheap. And I guess that you're still selling the multi-colored label = 1st pressing. A 2nd issue, which was pressed with a red label, also exists. Don't hesitate to buy this one if you don't have it.

Hi Preben, thanks for the recommendation . But, and should have put on the original post these are the red label issues which although came after the multi colour ones (not long after though!) are still of course real deal originals.....and at £5 each inc postage got to be worth getting! Adam. PS...PM coming your way re Marvell 45.

Adam. PS...PM coming your way re Marvell 45. Yes, in this case there is not much difference between 1st and 2nd issue apart from the label variations. Prices for the two different issues seem to be almost the same when checking other dealers. This is , of course, a cheapie, but your price is also a good price - lower than what you see with other dealers. It wont come cheaper than this. My last comment would be that the b-side is also excellent. I actually uploaded it when I received my copy. The Magic Tones - Together, We Shall Overcome - Mah's -

The Magic Tones - Together, We Shall Overcome - Mah's - Cheers for that soundfile Sebastian, you are quite right 2 good sides. Which I have now sold out of! Got a few more hidden somewhere, when I get round to finding them I'll post them up in sales again. So only one Fantastic Four left out of this little lot....any takers??
Margo Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Danny's got taste ? yeh, i have !! and its impeccable !! well thats what adam said
