45s (alphabetical by label) — Part 4

Sophisticated Ladies: This Ain’t Really Love (Reflection) EX £100

Awesome 1980 club tune.

Listen: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/sophisticatedladies_this.mp3

Sole Inspiration: Life (Soulsville USA) EX- £150

Dark, downtempo psych-funk burner for the heads. Obscure stuff!

Listen: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/soleinspiration_life.mp3

Lee Jenning: Just Keep On Loving Me / inst. (Star Track) M- £20

Obscure Detroit northern.

The Webb People: Bump With Me / I’m Sending Vibrations (T.C.B.) EX SOLD

Two extremely strong group sides from Dave Hamilton’s bottomless well of epic Detroit soul. Bump With Me is a rock steady funk masterpiece enveloped in a thick, narcotic atmosphere. The crossover side is embellished with effects galore and emerges from a similarly druggy fug, but has a more soulful vocal and a slightly more refined groove. Overall, it’s close to 10/10 all round.

Susan King: Morning (Toy) EX £40

Spooked-out minor key downtempo groove with jazz elements provides a hypnotic backing for this next day “walk of shame” tale. Looks M-, plays with a tiny bit of noise here & there (I think my copy is the same). A long time personal favourite. Small sticker on flip

De De Turner Happening: Outside Of Memphis (Yodi) VG+ £100

Excellent and lesser-known release on the label — a tricky funk rhythm with a soulful vocal performance, has potential as a crossover spin but a beautiful record regardless.

Listen: https://www.concourserecords.com/musicuploads/dedeturner_memphis.mp3

Exciting Changes: I’ve Got Something Good For You (West Hill) VG (deep flip VG-) wol & light ringwear £50

Appealing ‘60s male group crossover spin from New York. Orange label pressing variation (which I think is way louder than the blue one).
