JOE TORQUAY Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Tony Daniels I Won't Cry C/w Drip Drop One of Detroit's most-wanted! From the man who rocked the world with "Cool Jerk" - Don Storball teams up with Johnnie Mae Matthews & James Bennett for another vibrant Northern Soul session, echoing everything good about primitive 60s Motor City dance music.

The winning bid was £ 470.00 Frankie (love Man) Crocker Ton Of Dynamite This sheer depth of diversity in Northern Soul is underlined by this listing. Mid-70s witnessed most-DJs including myself just waiting for what Colin Curtis would play next, he was after all the most innovative and respected of jocks. Cleethorpes Pier Allniter in it's infancy hung onto the Blackpool Mecca's coattails emulating it's every move. This fusion of funk, jazz and attitude, was a groundbreaking play that opened the way for the likes of James Coit, Andre Maurice, Prince George etc Adding funk into the turntable choices of rare 45s. Before you today is a fine clean ORIGINAL first press of a 45 that broke into new territory championed by outrageously brave DJing of Mr. Curtis. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 240.00 Miracles Shop Around Do soul artifacts come any more historic than this extremely rare 1961 British 4 track EP with cover. The group shot says it all doesn't it, the happy pose of five team mates who had recently recorded Motown biggest seller to date. 4 track are: 1. Shop Around 2. Who's Loving You 3. Ain't It Baby 4. The Only One I Love Front cover is near perfect, back cover has a tiny light signature, very small and discreet. Both labels are near perfect. Both sides of the vinyl only reveal light surface blemishes in strong light. Totally impossible to find in Mint, near impossible to acquire in this fine condition. Top drawer Tamla Motown Collector piece. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 229.00 Earl Harrison Humphrey Stomp C/w Can You Forgive Northern Soul seekers of the very first labels here is a timeless Twisted Wheel floor-destroyer.

The winning bid was £ 110.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Sam & Dave Hold On I'm Coming - Demo A timeless MOD Club classic, not worth a Kings ransom, but as a 1966 British DEMO is it a Brit-Soul "Crown Jewel" So very, very hard to find UK black "A" Demo's and this one is of a timeless piece that reverberated around every club in the golden year of 1966 Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 40.00 Blues & Soul No. 10 July 1968 No. 10 The late 60s art cover represents and opportunity to frame one of the rarest examples of the early first 20 in this highly sought after series. It is that eye-catching, Nina Simone as never seen before. This July issue covers stage-FRAUD - the distasteful habit of some promoters to give "mock" group a famous name, as they tour England ie The Fabulous Temptations were apparently dreadful. But absolutely fantastic, was Aretha Franklin's live performance at Finsbury Park, Astoria May 11th. 1968. Bio's and pics on the following iconic 60s soul artists inc: Oscar Toney Jr., Nina Simone, Little Walter, THE FOUR SONICS!

The winning bid was £ 204.00 Sequins He's A Flirt C/w That Boy Many time served Northern Soul collectors may never have experienced this Beyond-Rare 45 in the flesh before. Yes this is the FIRST PRESS this 1966 double-helping of real-deal proper girl-group Northern Soul of the very finest kind. Not only is it stupidly scarce - this copy is amazingly MINT - Two perfect labels and vinyl that gives the impression it has been filed away for the last 46 years. You will NOT find a better copy - or indeed a finer double example of the genre. The triumphant trio of Anthony Renfro, Arther Wright & Ronald Saunders yet again, craft Northern Soul brilliance. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 222.00 Dynamics I Need Your Love C/w Love Me Black Is Beautiful. Pied Piper is genius. Do the right thing - or maybe live in regret.

JOE TORQUAY Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Dwight Thompson My Woman Is Calling C/w Man Oh Man Rare and utterly fantastic 1975 Dutch double-helping of soulful dance. Both sides give up highly energized soul dancers that have been receiving spins from the few jocks lucky enough to own a copy. Click the soundfile and make your choice which side is the best - both will make you wanna dance! NOTE: no UK or USA release for this winner! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 83.00 Billy Proctor & The Love System Keeping Up With The Joneses C/w Chop Down That Oak Tree Incredibly elusive STOCK copy with the good side, that is so annoyingly missing from the mono / stereo promo. Wah Wah and horn intro gives way to Billy's supremely smooth voice neatly layered over a full string section, supported by vocal-group harmony chorus from the Love System. A truly fabulous pre-disco revolution New York project strongly influenced by Philadelphia. The side Epic ran with is good too, but completely pales in comparison to the flip that is ONLY available as this so-seldom-seenSTOCK copy! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 74.00 Sammy Lee What Goes Around (comes Around) C/w You Got To Let Me How good it this! Collectors should be walking barefoot to our door to own this 45. Check the sound file and ask yourself why this is not ringing the changes in every Soul-Club across the land.IT'S BRILLIANT! Both sides give up staggering quality, dripping with soulful expression sewn into a feelgood production lifted by an uncredited male vocal group. Shame on you, shame on me - the Northern Soul scene needs records of this quality on the turntables. So danceable, so decidedly classy. PS the flip is every note as good - sorry if I sound excited, but I'm in heaven. Having not taken to time to listen to it for far too many years, this double- helping of fat-free SOUL has made my day, oh so very much better. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 309.00 Vel Tones I Do C/w Darling The relationship between Linden Oldham & Dan Penn crafted some of soul's finest works of art. As if this was a warm up session for the timeless masterpiece "Dark End Of The Street" for James Carr ..17 releases later..comes this mid-paced vocal-harmony-group delight! a seriously rare disc offering the same irresistible qualities this pairing are renowned for. Top side is a scrumptious mid-tempo Memphis mover, full of addictive moments of tight-harmony bobbing on a simple but highly effective arrangement. The result is another killer-tune that has only suffered from it's own rarity, yet to break though but brimming with potential for a big ticket. The flip will knock harmony-ballad fans sideways, as this accomplished band get down n' moody with a killer ballad. Two great sides well-perched for long-overdue stardom. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 122.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Wallace Brothers Lover's Prayer C/w Love Me Like I Love You Without question of of the very rarest 45s in the series of this, the UK's most highly coveted and elusive of labels.Just killer Deep Soul from this iconic gathering, that Kent honored with aCD release. CD RELEASE!! Did I just write that, may my fingers be used for line-caught Tuna bait. This is the beloved SUE label, these are the outrageously soulful Wallace Brothers! This is a piece of British Soul history in it's rarest form. But on second thoughts, go order the CD because the chances of owning this 45 or the legendary Wallace Brothers Sue album on SUE are ridiculously slim. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 56.00 Larry Williams & Johnny Watson Too Late A TORCH ANTHEM! Click the soundfile to rocket into the midst of the heaving hoards that frequented the Hose Street Soul Temple,Tunstall, Stoke On Trent every Saturday. Pre-Wigan stomper that sounds every note as good as it did back in Select-a-discs cellar when those small 45 text re-issues arrived to relieve the vinyl-hunger of the Soul-apprentice's like myself. This alluring PROMO copy is just pristine, two perfect labels and Ex+ vinyl that has yet to grace a Northern Soul turntable. This listing is especially for the growing mass of NS collectors who are seeking and demand the Top-drawer "classics" in the finest possible condition. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 209.00 Temprees Three Philadelphia the Mecca of Sweet Soul with the Stylistics & The Delphonics dominating the 70s vocal group sales with their commercially arrowed material. So how refreshing to hear this Memphis / Philadelphia collaboration that retains undiluted soul integrity, this album drips with it; as it should do, when Bobby Eli, Earl Young, Ronnie Baker, Lester Snell, Tom Nixon are in the studio with three razor-sharp vocalists, the Memphis Symphony players dressing up the silky surrounds and Memphis Horns beefing up the backing. After that build up, you are expecting some stand-out soul - click the soundfile that is exactly what'cha gonna get from this album, which is. The IMPOSSIBLY RARE 1975 BRITISH PRESS. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 59.00
