Huey Piano Smith

Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

I can hear the groan as the British SUE addict sees this listing...

Oh no not another serious SUE rarity in the calibre of condition I'm unlikely to see again. Not matter what the economic climate, when SUE vinyl of this standard comes to market, ownership needs nailing, though this seldom open window of opportunity.

Vinyl, front cover and labels are MINT -

Back cover has 5 discreet ticks next to the previous owner preferred tracks.

Where and when you gonna find another in finer condition...?

Jean Carter

Like One C/w That Boy Ain't No Good

This week's "Black Is Beautiful"Â offering is a timeless Northern Soul anthem so seldom seen in this form.

Written, arranged & produced by the prolific sister pairing of Pam Sawyer &Lori Burton who crafted far more than their fair share of Northern Soul, this Detroit example being their "Pií¨ce de résistance" as far as Wigan Casino congregation was concerned.. a floor-packer of huge repute.

As this impeccable black stock ...a collectors piece of equal standing.

A discreet i.d. rubber-stamp on flipside label, otherwise PERFECT!

Tobi Legend

Time Will Pass You By C/w Heartbreaker

Mamie P. Galore

No Right To Cry C/w Do It Right Now

As we've discussed before, Chicago's determination to capture the 60s Motown Sound and harness a little of Detroit's success, created some of Northern Soul's finest most-wanted dance-floor rarities.

From memory I consider this "Special Agent"Â session as the finest most difficult to acquire girl example of that era.

As you'd expect from this Chicago Soul-Sovereign, Mamie transports her emotive vocal skills into the perfectly formed Northern Soul dance arrangement. This has been and always will be considered a fully endorsed high-ticket 45 after decades of ridiculous rarity!

Deep Soul fans do not overlook the flipside, with a Mamie immersing herself in pain...but still emerging with shimmering quality...

Two killer sides - one very rare disc!

Lewis Clark

Green Power C/w Here's My Heart

Fabulous Florida Soul two times over.

Topside offers a self-penned slab of raw DEEP FUNK a pumping hammond, wild guitar aid the angry lyrics to punch home.. two potent drum-rhythm break allow Lewis to strut his stuff on this impress D.I.Y. journey.

But do not pass by the flipside - agonizing Deep Soul that literally bleeds from Lewis's pen and soul.

The allure of the independent Soul artist's work is always too much to ignore, especially when they provide excellence from to different genres.

RARE in the extreme..

Sunlovers

My Poor Heart C/w This Love Of Ours

Joey Jefferson's Los Angles label that provided the serious Northern Soul collector with the priceless Inspirations 45 and the original version of the Buddy Connor recording.

This example is the label's second release and so very much rarer the later brief Mutt & Jeff appearance. So check out why "Breakthough"Â is considered one L.A.'s finest most highly prized labels. We think you'll find all 3 orange release are just awesome examples of Northern Soul.

This example is a shimmering testament to vocal-group soul a seamless mid-tempo groove just begging to be heard by the masses.. click the sound-file you'll be assured this is no exaggeration.

Major Lance

Investigate C/w Little Young Lover

Condition, condition, condition.

We challenge you to find the combination of Okeh PROMO, picture sleeve all in the finest condition I've experienced in memory.

Vinyl may have been unplayed before the sound file was created. The eye-catching picture sleeve like the two labels are free of writing, tears, stains or creases.

"Investigate"Â is a timeless Northern Soul anthem, "Little Young Lover"Â is the original version of this great Curtis Mayfield song which is recently the DJpreference to the Five Stairsteps take.

2 great sides, a alluring pairing in just sublime condition. Northern Soul classic collectors - resist if you can

Betty Boo

Say It Isn't So

A unique 1979 British in-house RCA 10"Â acetate of a previously unissued Richard Popcorn Wylie & Tony Hestor session, featuring Sax-God Mike Terry on baritone.

Jump on the crystal clear DIRECT-CUT sound-file to hear what is possible when 3 gifted Detroiter's have a day in the studio. This is the very zenith of Motor City Northern Soul which amazingly never reached vinyl in the 60s but was the stand-out track of the unissued sessions, that RCA's Grapevine label rushed to release on Grapevine 125.

Before you today is the ultimate way to own Popcorn's "pií¨ce de résistance" a one-off British direct-cut high fidelity studio 10" acetate, so do compare with the "diminished somewhat muffled" 1979 Grapevine 125 vinyl press.

Duane Calvert And The Clairmonts

I Think It's Gonna Be Someone New C/w Does Love Pay

Thoroughly polished 60s Ann Arbor, Michigan Northern Soul 45 offering two sides that ripple with all the influences of Detroit.

Topside Duane is supported by The Clairmonts, as the bass guitar intro gives way to Duane's silky vocal, subtle male vocals coo away within the arrangement, then unexpectedly raise their game and ejaculate an high-pitched "Hey, Hey, Hey!"Â..so very Detroit.

Flip it over and The Clairmonts are replaced by the highly renowned girl-group The Kittens, who purr away on a moody, sultry Soulful stroller making this a double-delight of Detroit influenced Northern Soul.

Condition is immaculate, one small mark otherwise a Mint - condition would have been noted.

Gene Middleton And The Sole Survivors

Stop Where You Are C/w You Need Love

Part of the highly sought group of Florida labels that encompassed FULLERetc emerges another rare candidate for the NS turntables. One of Florida's most-respected Rare-Soul-Men with a sleeper simmering-away with a big ticket looming.

From the college town of Gainesville, more famous for serial murderers than it's black music contributions; comes this solid slab of real-deal Sunny State Northern Soul. The sound-file will reveal a raw horn littered soulful 60s dance tune that changes pace and undulates through the session.

Gene Middleton invariably serves up real-soul, the flip is no exception.

Ideal rarity for the thinking-soul-man who seeks small independent 45s awaiting the right DJ to realize their true-potential.

Edwin Starr

Stop Her On Sight (s.o.s.) C/w I Have Faith In You

On April 22nd 1966 UK Polydor pressed the ultimate British Soul 45.

This is very last word in Red & White British DEMO collecting!

As it sat at my desk I nearly gave an old friend and life-long Northern Soul devotee & record dealer an heart-attack. If was the first time in his 60 years he ever seen a copy - he once saw the image on an event flyer and he said that sent shivers through him.

When I apprehensively slipped this disc, so carefully out of it's wavy-top Polydor jacket.. I was also overcome with shivers, goose-pimples, hot flushes and dribblin' salivation

The VINYL condition is IMMACULATE, the mesmerizing label is exactly how you see it, with the flipside in the same eye-popping condition.

Donays

Devil In His Heart C/w Bad Boy

Considered by all British 60s collectors as one of the desirable girl-group 45s of that decade, who sing so much better than George Harrison did.

This copy is in flawless in every respect, utterly perfect labels, vinyl that only reveals the merest sleeve-contact blemish in strong light. This 1962 Brit-rarity is in astonishing condition..

Wanted for so many different reasons. A Detroit Correc-tone session covered by The Beatles in 1963, adored by the girl-group-addicts, hunted by the British vinyl-nuts and as you can hear it's solid 1962 Northern Soul, how's that for a C.V.?

Sorry, this item has already been won!

Neo Experience

Human

Exuberant Philly!

The prolific Leon Mitchell takes Tommy Hunt's 1965 Big City classic and transforms it into a lush oh-so-soulful mid-tempo masterpiece. That has crept up in demand and value on the back of unavailability.

Listen, and the reluctance to part with something this darn good will become obvious. Pleading lyrics, jazzy vibes, harmony chorus and a convincing lead vocal saturated in SOUL!

Just too good to ignore, and it;s not going to get any easier to acquire as the years roll on...for obvious reasons.

Sorry, this item has already been won!

The winning bid was £ 162.00

Marvelettes

Locking Up My Heart C/w Forever

We doubt this 45 has seen hardly any human contact during it's near 50 years of life. Amazingly there still fine paper fragments hanging from the sides of the 4 prong die-cut - the two labels show no sign what-so-ever of spindle insertion.

IT'S A BEAUTY!!

Having stated all that - the vinyl has extremely light "fogging"Â appearence in small areas of the surface from a lifetime in storage. This type "fogging"Â is often experienced on Oriole vinyl but DOES NOT affect play in anyway, as you can hear from the from double-sound-file provided.

Rare and elusive in any condition - perfectionists will like me find the insignificant blemishes more than acceptable!

Said I wouldn't comment on these auctions again but to see a Grapevine / RCA acetate which I would have rated at about £40 sell for more than one of the rarest British soul records in existence is just bizarre. Someone got a real bargain with the Edwin Starr Polydor demo, it's twice as rare as something like Darrell Banks on London demo.

in all honesty pete i would say 10 times rarer than london darrell banks

Gene Middleton £111 WTF! There has been loads on ebay over the last year , at least one seller with multiple copies at about $15 - $20 Maybe less now I think about it.

I bought a couple and took me 2 or 3 times on ebay to shift them at the price I paid. In fact there are 2 at the moment 'Buy it Now' less

than half the price of the one on the auction :huh: .

I guess some people don't look around

thats probably (almost certainly) his easiest record to find and is usually a $10 record. I've never bothered picking up any cheap spares as I never expected it to sell for much more.

the other D&B with deep flip is far far harder to find.
