INTERESTING LIST THIS ONE FOLKS, ALL FROM MY OWN COLLECTION

THE YOUTUBE CLIPS ARE NOT THE ACTUAL COPIES OF THE RECORDS FOR SALE, THEY ARE JUST SO YOU CAN HEAR WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE

JAN BRADLEY — BEHIND THE CURTAINS — NIGHT OWL DEMO EX 30

Stunning Curtis Mayfield song with The Impressions on backing vocals. Has a little crease on the run in — not a crack and not affecting play.

JOANIE SOMMERS — I’D BE SO GOOD FOR YOU — WARNER BROS M 20

Beautiful girl group sound classic

THE PAGEANTS — ARE YOU EVER COMING HOME — RCA DEMO VG+ 25

Few marks and the odd click but perfectly acceptable

LINDA HOPKINS — MEMORIES AND A BROKEN HEART — BRUNSWICK DEMO EX- 20

Awesome midtempo sound, tiny edge warp not affecting play, bargain

TINA MASON — ARE YOU THERE — CAPITOL EX 20

Rare version of the Dionne Warwick number

SAMMY TURNER — A CHILD WAS BORN — VERVE DEMO M 25

Just what you need at this time of year, a Christmas flavoured Northern Soul dancer, this is absolutely beautiful, chime bars, girl choirs etc
