Gospel Classics, Veda, Norman Johnson, Incredibles Etc Etc Mark Rez / Resolution Records Set Sale

[Guest]

I use the Record Collector standard to grade my records - as below:

M is ONLY for reissues / new releases.

M- is a pretty much unplayed record for me - any obvious signs that a record has been played and I usually downgrade to an EX+

EX+ is a very strong grade for me - just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn at all.

VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.

VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player

VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape - lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks - not nice.

Clips / scans available upon request.

Happy to ship anywhere, P&P extra, contact me via PM or email on mail@resolutionrecords.co.uk

Cheers....Mark Rez

Norman Johnson & The Showmen 'Our Love Will Grow' / 'You're Everything' (Action (swirl) / UK / 1969 / Ex) £75

Chuck Jackson 'I've Got The Need' (All Platinum / UK / 1975 / M-) £8

( Ditto the above.... )

Nino Tempo & 5^th Ave Sax 'Sister James' (A&M / USA / 1973 / VG+) £8

( Classic Northern instrumental....scruffy labels and a few very minor scuffs here and there so priced down from the current going rate of £15 / £20+ for a minter ....still a great copy...dancefloor essential )

Jeff Perry 'Unforgettable Person' / 'Honest Baby (You're My Perfect Lady)' (Arista / USA / 1976 / M-) £10

( Unplayed copy of this perfect Modern / Northern Soul double-sider.... )

Sister Sledge 'Love Don't You Go Through No Changes On Me' (Atlantic / UK / 1974 / Ex+) £15

( Lovely, heavier-pressed UK copy of this anthemic Northern Soul / proto-disco classic - Bert DeCocteaux's finest moment...? I think so - ever-indemand... )

Sam Dees 'Fragile Handle With Care' / 'Save The Love At Any Cost' (Atlantic / USA / 1975 / M-) £75

( This copy is UNPLAYED, believe me...! Irresistable Northern / Modern Soul... )

Soul Brothers Six 'I'll Be Loving You' / 'Some Kind Of Wonderful' (Atlantic (red) / UK / 1967 / VG) £30

( Bit rough this one so priced down - lotsa surface marks/scuffs and some background crackle - great UK press so plays loud and proud - yet another colossal NS oldie this month... )

Ben E. King 'The Record (Baby, I Love You)' / 'The Way You Shake It' (Atlantic (black) / UK / 1965 / VG+) £20

( Lotsa scuffs / hairlines but still a great / loud player - superb, atmospheric, mid-paced Northern Soul....the flip is also exemplary..... )

Esther Phillips 'Catch Me I'm Falling' ( Atlantic / UK / 1972 / M-) £25

( Unplayed big 'A' demo copy... )

Sons Of Robin Stone 'Got To Get You Back' (Atlantic / UK / 1974 / M-) £15

The Incredibles 'There's Nothing Else To Say' (Audio Arts / USA / 1960s / Ex+) £75

( Right up there with the biggest / best / most popular 45s EVER played on the Northern Soul scene from day dot to now...99% immaculate copy which looks to have had VERY few plays to me...here we have the green label Amy-Mala distributed label press and I'll be surprised if there's a cleaner copy on the whole planet...! )

The Lovelites 'I Found Me A Lover' / 'You Better Stop It' (Bandera / USA / 1960s / VG+) £25

( I believe this to be the debut release from these talented trio of ladies from the Windy City who went on to give us the massive 'Love So Strong' on 20^th Century (big personal fave of mine) and also the humungously brilliant/rare 'With Love From The Lovelites' LP on Uni - 'I F M A L' is just wonderful, wonderful girlie, mid-paced Northern Soul with gorgeous harmonies while 'Y B S I' is slightly more uptempo and an equally wonderful dancer - you cannot mistake Patti Hamilton's inimitable vocal style once you've heard it, right? )

Jackie Wilson 'This Love Is Real (Vibrations)' / 'Love Uprising' (Brunswick / USA / 1970 / Ex+) £12

( Huge recent revival 'niter sound on topside and big oldie spin on flip - excellent double-sider - has had very, very few plays...... )

Lee Dorsey & Betty Harris 'Love Lots Of Lovin' / 'Take Care Of Our Love' (Buffalo / UK / 1969 / M-) £25

( Stunning double-sider from these two titans of Soul / R&B...looks unplayed to me... )

The Gospel Classics 'More Love, That's What We Need' (Chess / UK / 1968 / VG+) £125

( Incredibly hard to find in nice shape on UK press - few surface marks / scuffs and minor intro/outro crackle but this copy would be many other dealer's Ex, believe me - in the correct Chess UK custom sleeve and undinked for a change too - a stunner, people.... )

Fontella Bass & Bobby McClure 'Don't Mess Up A Good Thing' + 3 (Chess EP / UK / 1966 / VG+) £30

( Been in storage for nearly 30 years so is a bit dusty - I'll clean it before I ship - just a few scuffs here and there - otherwise a great copy of a rare record...we also get 'Safe And Sound' , 'Peak Of Love' and 'Don't Jump' - top, top EP... )

Fruit 'Say It' / 'If You Feel It, Say Yeah' (Cypress / USA / 1978 / M-) £75

UNPLAYED COPY...possibly THE most indemand Modern Soul 7" on the whole scene right now - 2 sides of ultra-classy Modern Soul / Boogie - and - this one comes with the record company mailer too - exquisite 7"... )

Jan Jones 'Independent Woman' (Day-Wood / USA / 1980 / Ex+) £200

( Well - what can ya say about this tune? Easily RIGHT up there in my personal Modern Soul 50 of all time and many other people's too, I'd imagine...stunning copy here which has had very few plays...has very, very minor edge warp which d n a p in any way, shape or form and also has a sticker on the topside which I'll endeavour to remove before shipping...all together now "do you want to love me, do you want to hold me tight, tonight" - absolute bliss... )

The Spellbinders 'Help Me (Get Myself Back Together Again)' / 'Chain Reaction' (Direction / UK / 1966 / VG) £25

( Stone-Gold classic NS dancer from right, right back in the day - well-played / loved but still a good player and VERY rare on this big 'A' demo press, believe me... )

Rare Pleasure 'Let Me Down Easy' (long/short) (DJM / UK / 1976 / M-/M-) £50

( UNPLAYED BIG 'A' DEMO COPY in DJM yellow press release sleeve - totally immaculate.... )

Tina Britt 'The Real Thing' / 'Teardrops Fell' (Eastern / USA / 1965 / VG+) £12

( Smashing, uptempo, classic Northern Soul oldie, some scuffs / marks but plays well above grade and is more like an Ex with a very decent mid-paced floater on the flip too... )

100% Pure Poison 'You Keep Coming Back' (EMI / UK / 1974 / M-) £100

( UNPLAYED (and I mean 'like new') factory sample / demo copy of this ever-indemand, UK-only Northern / Modern Soul dancer - up there with the best, impossible to find as clean and undinked like this one is... )

Jerry Washington 'Set Your Soul On Fire' / 'Let Me Get Close To You' (Excello / USA / 1974 / M-) £25

( Unplayed copy of this currently H-U-G-E indemander....both sides absolutely kill it - one side is outstanding 70s Northern Soul and fairly uptempo at that while the flip is raucous Funk - believe me, this has been going @ £50 on the Interbay and for lesser condition copies than this - trust me, this copy has never even seen a Technics...possibly THE best double-sider on the whole List... )

The Impressions 'Get Up And Move' / 'Woman's Got Soul' (HMV / UK / 1965 / VG+) £25

( Few scuffs / marks and some minimal intro/outro noise/crackle - overall a fantastic copy...just the epitome of good time Chicago Northern Soul for me....does it really get any better...? )

Classy Magic 'Move To Fast' (Moods Production / USA / 1988 / M) £50
