Artistics — I’m gonna miss you — Brunswick 54123 (M0) Vg+/Vg+ £15

(Rare UK Island LP, all his tracks including the sublime “I feel so bad”)

Dee Dee Warwick — I want to be with you — Mercury 21000 (Mo) Vg++/Vg++ £30

(Superb album, full of crackers especially “Worth every tear I cry” not released on US 45 RPM)

Freda Payne — How do you say I don’t love you anymore — MGM 4370 (St) M-/M- £25

(Immaculate condition, longest album title in the world, Freda covers O.C. Smith’s “On easy street”, or was it hers in the first place?)
