JOE TORQUAY Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Melvin Davis Find A Quitet Place (and Be Lonely) Detroit Northern Soul trophy from one of the City's most-influential artists. Melvin' collaboration with Mike Hank's second-self's Clara Bell & Rudy Robinson constructs a mighty piece of timeless Northern Soul that has remained and always will do so, an incredibly-awkward record to acquire. This example has thoroughly clean vinyl, the strong gleaming Ex+ label is perhaps the nearest you could get to seeing a PROMO as the "received" date of 4-14-65 sits top right hand, ting signature and the number 117. A premier piece of Motor City Northern Soul!! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 1,601.00 Cajun Hart Got To Find A Way Trumpeters signals the arrival of an expressive deep-throated lead vocal underpinned by a full orchestra! The Northern Soul gang have always warmed to the huge no expense spared production - this example is one of the very finest in it's genre. Demanding any cynical debate on the singers colour or creed, quickly pale in comparison the warmth of vocal and depth of the skilled army of musicians who help bring the whole processing up to a level of greatness. In other words this 45 is so darn well produced, who cares who sings it, this is velvety Northern Soul made of a quality that's hard to tire of. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 316.00 Sun Lovers Main Street Yes, the same guys who gave te Northern Soul scene "You'll Never Make The Grade" + "My Poor Heart" with their 3rd and rarest Northern Soul offering. Hard to believe on this well distributed MCA subsidiary something can be darn hard to find. But this spring 1969 Los Angeles creation certainly is, the undeniable skills of Joey Jefferson & Ron Sanders again forge a fine vocal group winner. This one bristles with a light funky riff flirting with street-corner style vocal harmony. We believe rarity is the only reason you've most probably not encountered this 45 before. Future NS turntable potential is frankly long, long overdue. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 202.00 Jesse Slaughter I Had A Dream C/w How Does It Make You Feel A sleeper has at last stirred... Try and catch this on the up! Demand over the last few months has rocketed to a level of and inquiry almost daily of it's availability. A punchy brass propelled Northern Soul stomper that has just disappeared into those hungry DJ boxes and finger-on-the-pulse collectors. As an All-Niter spin this would rock-the-joint, it is a pump-up-the-volume experience that demands you dance. For the purists amongst you, the flip is down-on-your-knees tortured Deep Soul. It would seem there's more millage in the value of this to go... Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 309.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Jimmy Delphs Dancing A Hole In The World What would you expect for dinner tonight if Heston Blumenthal, Michel Roux& Tom Kerridge were messing around in your kitchen? Well, the 60s Motor City music equivalent of that gastronomic dream; would be to have Tony Hester writing, Mike Terry arranging and Ollie McLaughlin producing. The result is 3 Michelin Star Northern Soul, so darn rare, it's mouth watering! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 977 Bid Phil Flowers & The Underdogs Discontented Incredibly rare 1966 Baltimore, Maryland first take of a song that was to emerge a year later on DOT and become a Northern Soul classic through relentless turntable action at all the classic Brit-Soul-Clubs of the early 70s. Blackpool Mecca, Catacombs, Torch and early Wigan Casino. But none of these hallowed temples of Northern Soul, ever to my knowledge spun this raw very first Joe Tate (of Dontee fame) produced version of this ridiculously rare label. If like so many Northern Soul scholars you seek the very rarest, the very first tis 45 is an essential addition. Totally street-level raw, pungent NS dancer of te rarest form Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 113.00 Eula Cooper Standing By Love C/w I Need You More Forget the white label re-press, you are viewing the real-deal heavy vinylYELLOW label original first press - just stupidly elusive! An Atlanta Angel goes to Muscle Shoals utilizing the studios iconic Horn and Rhythm section, add to that Atlantic's star of the "String Section" Wade Marcus and you have the perfect environment for Ms. Eula to strut her stuff. Not one but two sides of distilled Soul from one of Northern Soul Princesses. A record for the conscientious Northern Soul collector who demands only the FIRST press and the finest Soul Music will ever enter their collection. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 188.00 Joe Bataan Subway Joe The reputation of the Gold Fania label within the Northern Soul collecting and dancing fraternity is blossoming into something of a cult. This Joe Bataan example - first press - is one of the tunes rising up within the dance-floor approval stakes. Value is bubbling away on the back-burner, dancers demands is simmering nicely (I was twice requested for it at Rugby all-niter but never had a copy in my DJ box, how embarrassing. But the current-demand was to deciding factor to list this on these pages. This copy is totally immaculate in every respect. Click the soundfile to experience Latin flavored Northern Soul at it's most exciting. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 168.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Home Of The Blues No. 8 March 1967 Edition Not only an utterly rare edition (our first copy this century) this example has a staple just above the LU of the front page BLUES text. Open the page and it reveals 1/2 a ticket (ripped in two at the door) of STAX REVIEW @ theUPPER CUT club March 1967. inside includes: Pics, live review and articles on. Little Richard, Soul Sisters, Prince Harold, fab full page pic of Howard Tate. Killer SOUL CITY SHOP full page advert. Back Page is an EMI SOUL SUPPLY 45 new release advert. Historical, essential research tool and the STAX ticket for the UPPER CUTEast London event is really iconic. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 24.00 Jerry Walker The Flowing River C/w Mr. Limp Same label that gave us the Celebrities & Hank Johnson - comes this ridiculously RARE double-helping of Sister Northern Soul. Totally obscure label presenting and even more mysterious female singer with an uncredited but highly prominent girl group enriching the production. Top side is a slick mid-paced groove with Jerry's splendidly presented vocal supported by a team of gals constantly echoing, cooing, oohing Jerry's lead. The uncredited producer adds even more style with subtle guitar riffs interrupted by some blaring brass work - I've listened to this rarity now, 4 times in a row...it really carries all the ingredients for Northern Soul greatness with Nella Dodds style innocence woven into a subtly lazy production that delivers punch when you least expect it. If that wasn't enough to crave ownership - the flipside raises the bar - with an atmospheric piano-led ghetto groove - neat baritone sax prompts, bluesy guitar work and the Doddsesque vocal again working it's charm. Two very strong Northern Soul contenders on one extremely rare disc. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 189.00 Linda Jones You Hit Me Like Tnt C/w Fugitive From Love Can collecting Rare-Soul be any more satisfying than this? Without question the greatest female soul voice of the last century, presented on one of the world's most-artistic labels, performing not one but two outrageously potent Northern Soul killers with the passion and power that nobody ever gets anywhere near to replicating. This is of course the seldom, if ever seen Blue & Yellow STOCK copy performed by the utterly charismatic GODDESS of soul. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 155.00 Luther This Close To You Luther Vandross with Anthony Hinton & G. Diane Sumler = Luther. This is the now iconic 2nd album for a man who went on the worldwide fame. Many rare-soul aficionados consider this 1977 album presents some of Luther Vandross's finest work. Including the soulful-dance-tune "I Don't Wanna Be Your Fool" + mood-changing-ballads and midnight strollers; but for me and Eddie Hubbard who recently reminded me the non-45 mid-tempo dance track " Follow My Love" is perched to make a huge impact for the DJwho has the insight to revive it. Not often is every track on an album a work of genius...but as hard as i try - i can't hear anything on the lp that is not superior-stand-out-soul. Cover, original inner sleeve, both labels and vinyl are immaculate! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 51.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Martha & The Vandellas Dancing In The Street Normally we would only auction British Tamla Motown in immaculate condition, as you Brit-Soul collectors demand condition to be as fine as possible. But upon running the file of this so-darn-RARE 1964 Red & White StatesideDEMO, the computer informed us we have not had a copy for sale in memory. Certainly our first in the last 15 years..and before that we just don't know. It is a fact, the "hits" from Tamla Motown are the very hardest to acquire asDEMO'S. This hit as a DEMO seems to be incredibly scarce. So the few light surface blemishes on the vinyl, the minuscule light biro X on the label flaw are far outweighed by the sheer rarity of this piece. We just know very few Tamla Motown collectors own this Motown Anthem in this format, so act accordingly it may be your only opportunity to see it in the flesh. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 82.00
