Happy New Year everyone, I hope you enjoyed the podcasts containing some of the upcoming records, as you'll see, several of the titles that were on the podcasts are missing because I sold them which I suppose was the point of the podcasts in the first place really…still loads of new items today though so hope you find something of interest.

Cheers

Pete

ERMA FRANKLIN - ABRACADABRA - EPIC DEMO EX 60 SOLD

Visually VG++ but plays beautifully hence EX grade. Small WOL

MAJOR LANCE - DELILAH - OKEH DEMO VG++ 40

His rarest – yes, rarer than YDWMNM!

FANTASTIC FOUR - CAN'T STOP LOOKING FOR MY BABY - RIC TIC VG+ 45 SOLD

Used copy but not too bad, few clicks in the background but I've seen much worse sell for much more!

MARSHA GEE - BABY I NEED YOU – UPTOWN EX 100

Definite original, daisy stamped, very slight little edge warp doesn't affect play (on my deck anyway, any problems of course it can be returned)

RAY & DAVE - WRONG WRONG WRONG – MICA EX 50 SOLD

Has a tear on the logo both sides where sticker removed. I actually heard from "Ray" after I posted this up on the podcast, have a read of this:

Thanks for featuring one of my songs on your upcoming podcast! I am Ray of Ray & Dave - Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. Thanks and God Bless for remembering our music. I am 63 years old now I recorded that song back in 1965. And soon afterward was drafted into the Army and went to Viet Nam!

Ray "Doc Love" Caldwell, Sr.

JJ BARNES - REAL HUMDINGER - RIC TIC W DEMO EX 40 SOLD

Looks absolutely stunning on a white demo – rare too

BARBARA LYNN - THIS IS THE THANKS I GET - ATLANTIC RECORDING STUDIOS TEST PRESSING SOLD

Looks like an acetate but it's actually vinyl, custom Atlantic Studios label with typed credits, one sided disc – the earliest version of this you can get and probably only 2 or 3 in the world. Not only that – what a record! Vinyl has slight noise at the start, grading VG++. VG++ 60

Same as Chris Jackson on UK Soul City, pristine demo

JAY & THE AMERICANS – LIVIN' ABOVE YOUR HEAD – UNITED ARTISTS DJ EX 40

GALE GARNETT – I'LL CRY ALONE – RCA M- 30

Nice black issue

PAT & ANDRE – YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART – WARNER BROS DEMO M 60

Still only known by a handful of people – grab this before it goes way up in price – excellent midtempo dancer

LEON & THE METRONOMES – I'LL CATCH YOU ON THE REBOUND – CARNIVAL DEMO M- 50

Great uptempo dancer, books at 100.

PRATT & McCLAIN – WHATCHERSIGN – REPRISE DEMO M- 30

Old Levine biggie – 70's dancer – bit different to "Happy Days" which is their famous record!

LEVON & THE HAWKS – HE DON'T LOVE YOU / STONES THAT I THROW – ATCO M- 35 SOLD

Still a big spin
