BUSTY BROWN - LONELY NIGHT - ISLAND EX+ 75

One of the best Jamaican soul records you'll ever hear, midtempo / beat ballad with a superb gritty vocal. Credited to Llans Thelwell on the label. Impossible to find in this condition. If you want to hear it go to this podcast and it's at 12:49

THE PATRON OF THE ARTS - THE TRUE PATRON OF THE ARTS - PAGE ONE EX+ 65

Pounding instrumental floorfiller

BRIAN HYLAND - THE JOKER WENT WILD - PHILIPS EX 15

Scarce on UK. Small sticker stain.

MADELINE BELL - PICTURE ME GONE - PHILIPS EX 25

Lovely copy

FRANKIE VALLI - YOU'RE READY NOW - PHILIPS BF 1512 EX+ 30

People do not realize how hard this is on it's very first UK issue (1966) this one's the first I've had in years. Fantastic condition and what a sound, even now.

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - WHAT'S IT GONNA BE - PHILIPS EX 20

Great B side on this one too, Small Town Girl

THE STRANGE BROS SHOW - SHAKEY JAKES - POLYDOR M- 40

Amazed this didn't sell when I listed it last time so dropped it down a little, brilliant club soul dancer, Hammond organ etc, they sound like they're having a right old rave up!

THE SHANGRI LAS - RIGHT NOW AND NOT LATER - RED BIRD EX 20

Cracking Bateman / Moseley arrangement, sounds like pure Detroit

DARRELL BANKS - OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART / OUR LOVE IS IN THE POCKET - STATESIDE M 30

Might sound steep for a Stateside copy but when I tell you this one is Mint I really mean it, who would buy this and not play it? Two of the greatest records ever made on one disc, and in a condition that's nigh on impossible to find, if this was auctioned elsewhere it'd fetch 100 quid. First issue too.

COUNT FIVE - PSYCHOTIC REACTION - PYE INTERNATIONAL EX- 20

Has a one or two little marks no affecting play, garage band classic

https://lostvinylgemsofthe60s.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/count-five-psychotic-reaction-pye.html

SYLVIE VARTAN - ANOTHER HEART / THINKING ABOUT YOU - RCA EX+ 20

Two really nice sides on this rare single from 1965

THE SHEVELLS - WATERMELON MAN - UNITED ARTISTS DEMO VG++ 25

Great version, few marks, plays absolutely fine

JOHNNY PEARSON ORCHESTRA - THE RAT CATCHERS - COLUMBIA EX+ 15

ALICE WONDERLAND - HE'S MINE - LONDON EX 20

THE NOVAS - THE CRUSHER - LONDON EX 25
