SOME GREAT STUFF FOR SALE THIS WEEK FOLKS, I KNOW IT’S GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS SO MAYBE YOU COULD GET THE MISSUS TO BUY YOU ONE OF THESE 

THE ARCADES – THERE’S GOT TO BE A LOSER – TRIAD M- 300 SOLD

I doubt if you’ll ever see a nicer copy than this

THE BALLADS – I CAN SEE YOUR LOVE – WEE VG++ 50

Rare 1st pressing, local California label with Oakland address

SUSAN BARRETT – WHAT’S IT GONNA BE – RCA DEMO EX+ 150 SOLD

CARTER BROTHERS – (SHE’S SO FINE) SO GLAD SHE’S MINE – JEWEL DEMO EX 30 SOLD

One of the best of all the R&B dancers – brilliant

JACKIE DAY – BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE – MODERN DEMO EX 50 SOLD

A very tough demo

THE FABULOUS APOLLOS – THE ONE ALONE – VALTONE M 300 SOLD

Absoloutely stone mint. Small tear on b side label.

CINDY GIBSON & THE TIFFANIES – I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU – GENERAL M- 40 SOLD

Brilliant oldie

JIMMY HELM – YOU’RE MINE YOU – SYMBOL M- 60 SOLD

Wonderful midtempo sound – note the spelling Helm not Helms, not seen that before

FRED HUGHES – BABY BOY – BRUNSWICK DEMO VG++ 25

Mecca classic

IDLE FEW – PEOPLE THAT’S WAY – BLUE BOOK DEMO EX+ 125

100% guaranteed original white demo. Has a faint address stampo on the label.

Super clean copy

MICKEY LEE LANE – HEY SAH LO NEY – SWAN EX 30 SOLD

THELMA LINDSEY – PREPARED TO LOVE YOU – MAGIC CITY EX- 225

Two or three marks, not affecting play, plays EX+

MARGARET MANDOLPH – SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL – PLANETARY VG++ 300

Try and find one of these nowadays – stunning black label original. One click on the intro accounts for me downgrading it. The B side has a scratch though, and it clicks for half the record.

PAT POWDRILL – DO IT – DOWNEY M- 150 SOLD

Another one that’s disappeared. This is a blue issue with a real Downey records sticker on it with their address and stating it’s a promotion copy.

ROY ROBERTS – GOT TO HAVE YOUR LOVE – NINANDY DEMO M 175

Stunning white demo, flawless

JIMMY RUFFIN – DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR ME – MIRACLE DEMO EX- 125

Plays perfect but has a little glue where the label meets the run off (not on the playing surface), label must have been coming off so some clumsy person was a little off target with the Pritt stick

THE SHAMETTS – DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME – GOLD DUST EX 400 SOLD

Never had one. Never had one for sale. Can’t remember ever being offered one even. Fantastic records!

THE VOLCANOS – IT’S AGAINST THE LAWS OF LOVE – ARCTIC EX 40
