THE SPELLBINDERS — HELP ME (GET MYSELF BACK TOGETHER AGAIN) — COLUMBIA VG+ 20.00

VINYL LOOKS VG BUT RECORD PLAYS EX, HAS SOME TIPPEX ON LABEL AND A NAME (INSIDE THE TIPPEX, IF YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN)

JOE SIMON — THE GIRL'S ALRIGHT WITH ME — SOUND STAGE 7 EX+ 25.00

THIS IS NOT THE MOTOWN TUNE AND IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY STORMING UPTEMPO NORTHERN DANCER WITH TONS OF POTENTIAL, IF YOU WANT TO BUY A LESSER KNOWN AND GET NOTICED, TRY THIS ONE

JOE TEX — UNDER YOUR POWERFUL LOVE — DIAL EX- 15.00

Couple of very small pops on the intro otherwise perfect

BARBARA LEWIS — I STILL REMEMBER THE FEELING — ATLANTIC EX- 15.00

ANOTHER ONE THAT'S HAD SOME USE BUT STILL PLAYS GREAT, BIT OF RINGWEAR ON THE LABEL

THE SUPREMES — HE'S ALL I GOT / LOVE IS LIKE AN ITCHING — MOTOWN EX 20.00

STILL PACKING THE FLOORS

TAMMI TERRELL — COME ON AND SEE ME — MOTOWN EX 20.00

SUPERB 45 FROM TAMMI

THE DELLS — RUN FOR COVER — CADET VG+ 20.00

FEW LITTLE CLICKS ON THE INTRO, WOL, MARKS ON LABEL BUT PLAYS FINE. BARGAIN

THE BLOSSOMS — THAT'S WHEN THE TEARS START — REPRISE VG++ 25.00

ANOTHER ONE WITH SIGNS OF USE BUT WHICH PLAYS BRILLIANTLY, COUPLE OF VERY QUIET POPS OTHERWISE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. ISSUE TOO. BIT OF LABEL WEAR. ANOTHER REAL BARGAIN.

THE ETHICS — LOOK AT ME — VENT VG++ 15.00

SAM CONDITION AS ABOVE REALLY, ONE OR TWO LITTLE POPS, RING WEAR ON LABEL, BUT PLAYIONG GREAT. OH AND THIS IS SIGNED ON THE SLEEVE BY LEAD SINGER RON TYSON.

BARBARA RANDOLPH — I GOT A FEELING — SOUL EX 15.00 SOLD

CLASSIC, VERY LIGHT LABEL WEAR

GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS — JUST WALK IN MY SHOES — SOUL EX 20.00

ANOTHER ALL TIME HITSVILLE CLASSIC

JR. WALKER & THE ALL STARS — TUNE UP — SOUL EX 20.00

STYRENE COPY BUT PROBABLY THE BEST PLAYING COPY I'VE HAD, REALLY NICE ONE

THE FABULOUS PEPS — MY LOVE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU — D TOWN VG 25.00

THIS IS THE RARER 219 MIX BUT IT LOOKS AS ROUGH AS A BEAR'S ARSE, OK, THE LABEL IS DIRTY ON THE RAISED PART WITH SOME SLIGHT TEARS, THE VINYL LOOKS USED, BUT I'M LISTENING TO IT NOW AND IF YOU COULDN'T SEE THE RECORD YOU'D SAY IT WAS LIKE AN EX MINUS OR THEREABOUTS, DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY SCRATCHES OR POPS. DECENT DJ COPY BUT WON'T WIN ANY BEAUTY CONTESTS. SIGNED BY JOE PEP ON SLEEVE.

EMANUEL LASKY — LUCKY TO BE LOVED (BY YOU) — WILD DEUCE VG++ 30.00

LABEL MUCH BETTER ON THIS ONE, JUST A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF WEAR, VINYL IS MARKED BUT PLAYS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING, THINK I COUNTED THREE SMALL POPS ON THE ENTIRE RECORD.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR — CAN'T STOP LOOKING FOR MY BABY — RIC TIC VG++ 35.00 SOLD

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT PLAYS FANTASTIC. THE BAD NEWS, AND THE REASON FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE, IS THAT THIS COPY AT SOME POINT MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK TO ANOTHER RECORD AND WHEN THEY WERE SEPARATED SOME BAD LABEL DAMAGE WAS DONE. THERE ARE TEARS OVER THE TITLE, THE ARTISTS NAME CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY BUT THERE IS A BIG TEAR BELOW THAT. SO IF YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, FOR 35 QUID THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN.

THE SUPERLATIVES — LONELY IN A CROWD / DON'T WALK AWAY — DYNAMICS EX 50.00

THIS IS THE RARE, RARE FIRST RELEASE OF THESE TWO TRACKS BEFORE WESTBOUND, GREAT COPY

OKAY THAT'LL DO FOR TODAY, HOPE YOU ENKOYED BROWSING THE LIST, AS I SAID, I ALWAYS PLAY THESE RECORDS AND CLEAN THEM SO MY DESCRIPTION SHOULD REALLY BE SPOT ON, IF IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT I WILL TELL YOU IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT, IF IT SOUNDS GREAT I WILL TELL YOU IT SOUNDS GREAT, THERE IS NEVER ANY POINT SAYING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS!
