ELLAINE & THE SHARDELLS - TELL ME THAT YOU CARE - MUSIC FORUM VG 15

This is ultra-obscure, it's an uptempo girl group sound, wouldn't say really Northern but if you like those early 60's girls you'll love this...can't find anything out about it whatsoever except it appeared on a compilation called Girls In The Garage Volume 6!

Nice clip-clop girl group sound

LINDA JONES - I JUST CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE - WARNER BROS VG 50

Looks rough plays absolutely superb, writing on label and a bit of wear but this is half price and a bargain - trust me, sound quality is superb

THE PEPS - DETROIT MICHIGAN - D-TOWN G 15

Oh dear, a record which has never seen a sleeve in it's life - books at £100 to £150 - plays alright but obviously covered in small scratches, crackles etc

DONNIE CARL & THE DONNELLS - IT HAPPENED TO ME - TY TEX VG 10

Pretty good R&B ish dancer

Have to admit both sides unknown to me and the guy is obviously a country singer - but good beat ballad one side and dancer on the other, in both price guides at £50 so what do I know
