USA ORIGINALS

***************

DEE ADRA – DON'T NEED A REASON – DYNAMIC DEMO VG++ 40

Fairly strange Texas female dancer – rare but oddball

MARJORIE BLACK – ONE MORE HURT – SUE EX 75

Sheer brilliance.

ROSE BATTISTE – HIT AND RUN / I MISS MY BABY – REVILOT EX 225 SOLD

Apart from paper scuffs, this is about as good as it gets, plays MINT

THE CAPITOLS – DON'T SAY MAYBE BABY – KAREN DEMO EX 60 SOLD

Their best

THE CHYMES – BRING IT BACK HOME – OKEH DEMO EX 60

Same track as Linda Lyndell – Bring Your Love Back To Me – but better!

THE CHECKMATES LTD – KISSIN HER AND CRYIN FOR YOU – CAPITOL M- 125 SOLD

Incredible Stafford/100 Club oldie, I'd keep this if I could afford to

LOUIS CURRY – YOU'RE JUST PLAIN NICE – REEL EX- 275 SOLD

One or two non sounding marks, this plays brilliantly and at that price it's a bargain

THE DAISIES – COLD WAVE – CAPITOL EX 40

Early Wigan stormer

MILL EVANS – I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR LOVE – CONSTELLATION M 30

Lovely copy, with the Stars label design too

FRANKIE & JOHNNY – I'LL HOLD YOU – HICKORY DEMO EX 150 SOLD

100% guaranteed original demo, fabulous

ROOSEVELT GRIER – IN MY TENEMENT – RIK DEMO VG++ 75 SOLD

Light crackle right at start, fantastic after that

SISSIE HOUSTON – BRING HIM BACK – KAPP DEMO EX 60 SOLD

BOBBI LYNN – EARTHQUAKE – ELF EX- 25

Nice green issue

THE LOVETTES – LITTLE MISS SOUL – CARNIVAL DEMO EX 40 SOLD

Another brilliant big sound from the mid to late 80's

BOBBY MANDOLPH – GOT TO GET YOU BACK – VAULT DEMO M- 75

JOAN MOODY – WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT – SYLVIA WHITE DEMO M 50

Very rarely find this on a white demo – cracking track too

WILLIAM PATTON – DON'T BE SO MEAN – KING DEMO M- 40 SOLD

Good lesser known uptempo dancer

RAY STEVENS – A B C – MONUMENT M 40

Fine midtempo/beat ballad tune, came out on UK London, recommended

THE SUPREMES – STONED LOVE – SPANISH TAMLA MOTOWN EX 40 SOLD

This is the version with the long intro that I had the other week, could have sold it five times so I got another one. Comes with nice pic sleeve also.

PAT THOMAS – I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I SEE MY BABY'S FACE – VERVE M 50

Lovely version – rare mint stock copy

STEVE TYRELL – PAYDAY SOMEDAY – ALL BOY EX 60

Northern/popcorn dancer

KIM TOLLIVER – I DON'T KNOW WHAT FOOT TO DANCE ON – CASTRO DEMO EX ?

We all know this is common on it's blue label issue but this is a white demo and so far I've yet to find anyone who's even seen one let alone got one! So no idea how to price this one.

THE TEEN TURBANS – WE NEED TO BE LOVED – LOMA DEMO EX 40

THE VOLUMES – ONE WAY LOVER / I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF – AMERICAN ARTS EX/VG++ 60 SOLD

Few marks and the odd pop but nice enough and a rare issue

ROSE VALENTINE – I'VE GOTTA RIGHT TO KNOW – RCA ISSUE M 100 SOLD

Nothing looks better than a black RCA stock copy!

SCOTTY WILLIAMS – FEAR – MONA LEE DEMO EX 75

Stafford oldie, nice

Leftovers from last week, quite a lot but it was a very big list last week – all reduced to sell

MAXINE BROWN – AM I FALLING IN LOVE – ABC DEMO EX 40

Great copy, vinyl

WILLIAM BONNY – LOVE LOVE LOVE – MERCURY EX 15

Great version, a real old Torch stomper

BILLIE DEARBORN – YOU NEED ME TO LOVE YOU – BELL DEMO EX- 30SOLD

Used to be a £100+ record a few years back – nice midtempo/beat ballad girl 45

JOEY DEE & THE STARLIGHTERS – IT'S GOT YOU – JUBILEE DEMO EX 30

Totally mad Wigan oldie from the very early days – weird space sound effects subside to a real stomper in the old fashioned sense of the word. Don't think it gets much turntable time nowadays but it's one of those `lost' oldies and I know for a fact I've never had a copy before.

THE EMBERS – IT AIN'T NO BIG THING – BELL DEMO EX 20

Great version

JACKIE EDWARDS – KEEP ON RUNNING – WIRL VG++ 25SOLD

The rare original version, not sure if there was a USA release, few marks but this is a great copy considering the state that they are usually in

DARROW FLETCHER – THE PAIN GETS A LITTLE DEEPER – GROOVY EX 20 SOLD

Wheel classic

PHIL FLOWERS – DISCONTENTED – DOT DEMO M- 30

Beautiful looking green demo of this Torch classic

WALTER JACKSON – IT'S AN UPHILL CLIMB TO THE BOTTOM – OKEH DEMO EX- 20

Killer beat ballad. B side label has water damage to a third of the label

THE SENSATIONS WITH YVONNE BAKER – I CAN'T CHANGE – JUNIOR DEMO EX- 40

The rare first issue # 1010, Mend The Torn Pieces of course on the flip, this is a rare demo, again one or two marks so price adjusted

THE SWEET THREE – I WOULD IF I COULD – CAMEO DEMO EX 30

Forgotten oldie – nice grey/white demo

LEE TILLMAN – ALL THESE THINGS – MICHELLE EX 40

Rare issue, only ever seen white demos before

BILLY WATKINS – THE ICE MAN – ERA DEMO EX- 45

Forgotten Wigan oldie, few marks, plays fine
