WELL HERE’S A FEW GOODIES TO GET STUCK IN TO!

THE ATTRACTIONS – BURN UP SOME ROAD (BACK TO MY BABY) – DE TO EX 70

Good Detroit dancer – little bit of wear on raised part of label

ANNETA ARCHIBALD – CLIP MY WINGS – SWIFT M- 175 SOLD

An amazing bargain – this has gone for 400 in the past

THE ARABIANS – PLEASE TAKE A CHANCE ON ME- LE MANS DEMO EX 130 SOLD

Classic – again, little bit of label wear on raised part – vinyl is lovely

PATTI AUSTIN – MUSIC TO MY HEART – ABC DEMO EX+ 50 SOLD

Torch classic

H.B. BARNUM – IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO CRY – RCA EX 75 SOLD

Great 100 Club oldie – plus this one has a picture sleeve as well!

LA VON BRIDGES – WITH A SMILE (ON MY FACE) – GLORECO VG++ 75 SOLD

Rare early Detroit piece, some WOL on B side mentioning Fred Bridges, otherwise pretty nice and a tough one to find, 150 in ‘the book’

THE COOPERETTES – SHING A LING – BRUNSWICK ISSUE EX 125

A beauty – stock copy in fantastic condition

TONY DANIELS – HOW LONELY – SPORT M- 40

Lesser known Detroit midtempo

THE DYNAMICS – YES I LOVE YOU BABY – TOP TEN DEMO EX 175 SOLD

Sadly this has a tiny crack on the edge – it’s been taped at the back and plays without a sound – on the deck nobody would ever know, trust me, to all intents and purposes it looks mint and plays as such. I think it’s a fair price for a record valued at 400 quid.

THE FALCONS – HAS IT HAPPENED TO YOU YET – LUPINE DEMO VG++ 80

Rare on demo – small writing on label

FOUR SONICS PLUS ONE – TELL ME YOU’RE MINE – SEPIA EX+ 40

Great male version of the Lorraine Chandler track

THE FOUR SONICS – WHERE ARE YOU - TRIPLE B M 40 SOLD

Another beauty from the Sonics

FRANKIE & THE CLASSICALS – WHAT SHALL I DO – UK PHILIPS M 280

Incredible UK piece

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

Never get tired of this one – brilliant intro

FREDDIE HOUSTON – SOFT WALKING – TOTO EX- 40 SOLD

Still popular

WILL HATCHER – THIS AND THAT – THELMA EX 80 SOLD

One of the rarer Thelma’s in that it rarely turns up. Little bit of water damage on the label, nothing too bad

THE HESITATIONS – YOU CAN’T BYPASS LOVE / YOU’LL NEVER KNOW – KAPP DEMO EX 50

Brilliant version of Willie Kendricks and the flip is great too, think it uses the backing from the Sam E Solo track

EDWARD HAMILTON – I’M GONNA LOVE YOU – MARY JANE EX+ 100 SOLD

The brilliant original take, on the red and white checked label

LUTHER INGRAM – AIN’T THAT NICE – DECCA EX 125 SOLD

Superb double sider – top Detroit dancer and a great beat ballad on the flip – Bob Bateman Detroit production on a rare Decca stock copy. Never had this before.

INTERNATIONAL KANSAS CITY PLAYBOYS – EVERYBODY’S GOIN’ WILD / QUITTIN’ TIME – WHEELSVILLE VG/VG+ 50 SOLD

Quittin Time has some background clicks and pops but fortunately the music drowns most of them out but still only VG. Everybody’s Goin Wild on the flip (using the same backing track) is way better. Two storming tracks. Small WOL both sides and a little tear on Quittin Time.

SOLOMON KING – THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY – FRENCH COLUMBIA EX 75 SOLD

Never seen one of these before, red label Columbia and with a pic sleeve

CHRISTINE KITTRELL – CALL HIS NAME – KING DEMO M- 35

Good R&B dancer, rare on a white demo

SUE LYNNE – DON’T PITY ME – UK RCA VG++ 125

Vinyl plays EX+ label has small wear

BETTY LA VETTE – WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION IS IN – KAREN EX- 60 SOLD

I gave it an EX- because I think I heard two background clicks, me being over cautious again

BARBARA McNAIR – YOU’RE GONNA LOVE MY BABY – MOTOWN EX- 70 SOLD

Visually a few light marks but they don’t affect play – plays EX

TOMMY NEAL – GOIN’ TO A HAPPENING – PALMER DEMO VG++ 150

Rarest version of this classic. Has a bit of crackle way in the background near the start but no scratches or clicks.

PHRENETICS BAND – THE MICHIGAN MOVE / SOUL BROS INC – PYRAMID – GOLDEN EYE BOOTLEG M 25

Not sure why people are asking for this one again but one went for over 100 quid recently!

JIMMY RADCLIFFE – THERE GOES THE FORGOTTEN MAN – MUSICOR M- 40

Superior beat ballad

GWEN STACEY – AIN’T GONNA CRY NO MORE – RCA M- 60

Stunning midtempo dancer, big big production

SHIRLEY J SCOTT – GOOSE PIMPLES – STEPHANYE EX 15 SOLD

Nice cheapie

EDWIN STARR – YOU’RE MY MELLOW / MY KIND OF WOMAN – RIC TIC VG++ 75 SOLD

Minescule cue burn on the first second of both sides, visually VG++ both sides play fantastic, you could confidently DJ with these and they’d sound awesome. Small WOL on Woman side

BUNNY SIGLER – GIRL DON’T MAKE ME WAIT – PARKWAY M 30 SOLD

Philly classic – we only had Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods version at our youth club LOL

R. DEAN TAYLOR – THERE’S A GHOST IN MY HOUSE – VIP DEMO EX 60

Rare rare white demo, still sounds incredible. (Not For Sale has been crossed out on the label)

THE VAN DYKES – SAVE MY LOVE FOR A RAINY DAY – MALA ISSUE EX 150 SOLD

What a belter!

KIM WESTON – I’M STILL LOVING YOU – TAMLA VG+ 30

Plays fine with one or two clicks

NANCY WILCOX – COMING ON STRONG – RCA DEMO M 45

Looks to me to be unplayed mint

MARY WELLS – CAN’T YOU SEE YOU’RE LOSING ME – ATCO M- 25 SOLD

Possibly her very best dancer

I've been sitting here for the last 5 hours waiting for you to comment on this

At least it wasn't 50 quid

...do me a favour, I must have knocked half a dozen of these on my lists in the last 2 years for £10 each. They're everywhere, record fairs, the lot.
