Another 10 Uk Oddballs & Rarities

[Ian Dewhirst]

Continuing the summer clearout, so are another 10 oddball UK bits and pieces which are nice to own:-

R.B. Greaves - "Let's Try It Again"/R.B. Greaves Orchestra "Your Place Or Mine" UK Pye Acetate BTC 2203 VG+ £50.00

Not sure if this was ever issued in the U.K. as I've never seen one. Instrumental on flip.

Nina Simone - "My Baby Just Cares For Me" UK Charly Double-Sided Test Pressing With Custom Label M £50.00

A real weird one. This is a 7" promo for the 10" that Charly issued that eventually produced a No.1 UK hit. It looks as though a very limited run of promo-only 7"'s were rushed to radio in late '87. It's an iconic record and should probably be framed! I mean who wouldn't want this?

Joyce Cobb - "How Glad I Am"/"That's What Love Will Do" UK Cream VG+ £15.00

Weird. The short lived UK Cream label. Rare!

The Esquires - "My Sweet Baby" UK Action Double-Sided Promo M £50.00

Rare and a double-sided promo on one of the ultimate iconic UK Soul labels. Anyone collecting Action surely needs this. Should be framed!

Bobby Bowens & Shades Of Magic - "Gonna Love Somebody" UK Move Single-Sided Test Pressing NM £50.00

Never issued but a handful of single-sided UK 7" test-pressings slipped out. Rare!

Stephanie Mills "I Knew It Was Love" UK Paramount Promo £10.00 M

The Showstoppers - "Don't Leave Me Standing In The Pouring Rain" UK Beacon VG+ £25.00

Rare. The group came to the UK and recorded 2 tracks with Biddu which are surprisingly great! The record hardly saw the light of day. Not even on You Tube!

Hoagy Lands - "Friends And Lovers Don't Go Together" UK UK American USA 13 M £20.00

Slipped out in the early 70's, and I mean slipped! Much rarer than it looks.

Tyrone Davis - "Turning Point" UK Brunswick Promo M £20

Might as well have the original and best version on a classic UK label promo!

Charles Drain - Is This Really Love UK RCA Promo NM £20.00

PM me if interested. All buyers on a first come first served basis. Free 1^st class postage on everything.
