JOE TORQUAY Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Alexander Patton A Lil Lovin' Sometimes C/w No More Dreams Simply the greatest Northern Soul 45 ever issued in Britain during the 60s. Starting life as a flipside to rise up and become a Twisted Wheel anthem that still today still ignites a torrent of eager dancer to the floor when the needle drops and that dramatic intro booms in. Shiver inducing Northern Soul presented here as the 1966 British Capitol Discotheque series. PS do not overlooked the almost as magnificent flipside.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 247.00 Rudy Lambert Love Excruciatingly RARE Bay Area R&B Northern Soul Popcorn with a jazz injection from the Johnny Hartsman and gang. Mr. Hartsman was perhaps the most prolific Bay Area musician for black music during the late 50s & 60s. His name appears on Jazz, Soul, Blues Doo Wop and all manner of Bay creations. This example for the Northern Soul DJis, we have no doubt his very best and rarest offering. Click the explosive soundfile for an instant dancer to leap from the speakers and smack you right where it hurts! Moody, down & dirty groove with an inspired J.H. arrangement incorporating a rich tapestry of piano, guitar, flute& horns, expertly blended to accompany Ruby Lambert mysterious vocal style. It's a killer ain't it...every DJ should BE scrambling for ownership. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 212.00 Syl Johnson Do You Know What Love Is C/w The Love I Found In You We doubt this 45 has been played much more than once it it's lifetime! Condition other than one very light blemish this 45 is astonishing! So now we've established this may be the finest copy on the planet, let's talk about the music. Red label "20079"Â mix involving some of Chicago's most-prolific music-people, arranged & produced by Burgess Gardner aided by Chuck Bernard. A typically powerful Vee-Pea production that Syl Johnson's spirited vocal style fits snugly into the simplistic but contagious arrangement, punctuated by precise and very effective piano work. A much-loved Northern Soul anthem, like all Syl's offerings, so very soulful it's hard to tire of listening to such an expressive interpretation of lyrics he consistently gives up. But do not overlook the Carl Smith composition on the flipside, some tune this is, also. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 416.00 Sonny Fishback Heart Breaking Man C/w I Weon't Take Back These Words A New Yorker for rarest-of-the-rare! This is the CAMEO Publishing & KODEL MUSIC version. So buckle-up your in for a roller-coaster ride on intoxicating proportions. Growling, snapping, snarling vocal tears into a horn rippling production supported by screeching girls who are pulled into the whirlpool of stomping 60s soul. Every time Mr, Fishback takes pause for breath the Robert Banks horns explode into action. Tell me a stronger more imposing Northern Soul stomper than this...no, we thought you couldn't - so don't miss out on this rarely-seen powerhouse. If you do miss it - the Deep Soul flipside is just perfect for committing Harakiri to. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 714.00 Edited August 22, 2012 by JOE TORQUAY
JOE TORQUAY Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Luther Ingram If It's All The Same To You Babe C/w Exus Trek CONDITION IS EVERYTHING ! This is the message coming back to us from our most-discerning customers, who are determined to seek out the finest possible examples of classic top-end Northern Soul 45s. This is top-end, totally classic and we invite you to try and find a finer example than this, only minuscule signs of human contact, you could not dream of owning a finer copy. So near perfect! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 403.00 Otis Brown And The Delights Southside Chicago C/w I've Got Another Oh so very difficult to capture, is this delicious simplistic touch of genius from Otis Brown and his purring vocal-group friends The Delights. The elementary approach is the real attraction of this soulful beauty, the matter of fact lead vocal just strolls the "Southside"Â with the constant harmony chorus embroidering the session with layer after layer of PROPERWINDY CITY SOUL. Few collectors in the world can boast of even handling this record let alone owning one - rare and totally gorgeous. This copy has probably spent most of it's life on the Southside, there are surface marks but it plays superbly - sound file lifted directly off this disc. Light writing on flipside label. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 241.00 Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels Breakout...!!! - Stateside Album Stupidly RARE 1966 UK press in just immaculate condition, but also carrying a story. During the 60s every town in the UK had a pocket of MODS who religiously sought and collected the Soul played at clubs like The Twisted Wheel, Nite Owl, Mojo, etc etc. I personally joined that cult late in 1969, traveling to neighboring towns and cities seeking out anything to feed my hunger for "Soul-vinyl"Â Dave Owen one of the Grantham Soul Boys had amassed a wonderful collection whilst his window cleaning work took him to all corners of the town. Far too often I would encounter his rubber stamp D. W. Owen on those lovely smelling brown card-poly-lined singles covers. Jealous I was, he seemed to own or have owned everything worth having. Today Dave can still be seen at many Northern Soul events sporting his precisely polish brogues and meticulously ironed trousers & Fred Perry; and we'll talk about the good-old-days of Junk shop rummaging in Lincolnshire. Today this extremely rare 1966 UK MONO press has memory igniting D. W.OWEN stamp on back cover, otherwise this offering is beautiful 12 tracks display Mitch Ryder and team's passion for "Soul & R&B"Â which they spewed out with defiant attitude of an extreme level. Tracks inc: Walking The Dog, In The Midnight Hour, You Get Your Kicks, Stubborn Kind Of Fellow, Breakout, etc etc. Very, very tough to find!....unless you were a windowing cleaning MODin 1966 Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 66.00 Howard Wales Huxley's Howl Hammond Heaven! A jazzy funk experience with no obvious equals. For it's genre this is not only extremely problematic to capture but you'll find the hunt absolutely worthwhile. This gorgeous looker gives up the tightest, jazziest, horniest dancer you could ever wish to meet on the dance-floor. LOVE IT! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 111.00
JOE TORQUAY Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Eddie Holland If It's Love (it's All Right) C/w It's Not Too Late We have listed recently the 4th. rarest Oriole Tamla Motown release. Well her is the 3rd rarest is just breathtaking condition. Unblemished vinyl, labels so pure there are still minuscule paper-flakes hanging on since the die-cut 4 prong dink was made 49 years ago -ASTONISHING! Condition, Condition, Condition! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 444.00 Velvet Satins Nothing Can Compare To You C/w Up On The Rooftop Some things in life are constant, you just can't fall out of love with beauty tis is Page 3 Northern Soul. There is and never will be anything more satisfying for the Northern Soul Old-Peoples Club - than spying the eye-popping vista of the real-deal Northern Soul benchmark classic, in it's least witnessed format, strutting its stuff inside the original company sleeve. This by the way is the finest condition copy I've seen since the heady days of the mid-70s. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 236.00 Steve Parks Moving In The Right Direction C/w All In A Day 1981 California studio test press of Steve Park's finest two recordings, although these two jazz/soul masterpieces exists on the highly elusive Solid Smoke 101 records, this test press we understand is one of only TWO ever made. So if your the kinda collector who seeks 45s in not only their rarest form but also carrying assured rarity kudos. We can verify this vinyl TEST PRESSwas maneuvered away from a very reluctant label owner, as he bemoaned it was one of only TWO ever pressed as the $$'s changed hands. Not only near unique, but also beautiful and in perfect condition! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 359.00 Tony Troutman What's The Use Vocal / Instrumental Rarely seen genuine FIRST PRESS of this irresistible Atlanta soulful dance groove. Tony Troutman's injects convincing frustration into his own composed lyrics, laying down a pleading vocal style as he asks "What's The Use"Â. But instead of these lyrics turning into dour mid-paced "begging"Â tune; the instrumentation and the inspired girl-group chorus lift this session up into one ultra-fine and totally clasy dance tune. One that's been held up as a trophy with decades of admiration from the Soul Scholars who frequent Soul Essence, The Orwell and other thinking man's soul venues. Tough to find on the original Atlanta press, especially in this near-perfect condition. Sorry, this item has The winning bid was £289

Sunnysoul Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 One would think 289 quid for Tony Troutman is reasonably cheap , yeah ?
Jim G Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I have Blues & Soul 36&37 with parts 1&2 of the seminal Dave Godin Soul Up North articles, I will swap for a Malibu condo if anyone is interested? Can you post a scan of the off the Dave Godin articles in a separate topic? I am sure many would love to read it
slimharpo Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Can you post a scan of the off the Dave Godin articles in a separate topic? I am sure many would love to read it Will do Jim. I was looking through my other copies of B&S and I have the one where Dave Godin visited The Wheel with pics! I'm sure someone on here will recognise themselves, I'll post those too. Also in some of the issues people wrote in and named their favourite sound so again, I think people on here will be mentioned. In fact I am mentioned in one issue naming my favourite Soul sound - Ben E King's Walking In The Footsteps Of A Fool (still is!) and in a paragraph below my name, Derek Howe of Beating Rhythm lists a Dixie Nightingales track as his favourite. I've met Derek many times in B.R. but until now never knew we had a Dave Godin connection! I'll gradually post these if people would be interested? 1
