Under a fiver double-sider on both US & UK Stax.

 

Ollie & the Nightingales - You're Leaving Me / Showered With Love

 

 

'You're Leaving Me' is worth a million if music is valued on merit.

 

So it's a bargain.

My favourite Rance  Allen - wouldn't swap it for 'I Know  A Man'!!

 

Hello Mike, 'Gonna Make It Alright' is a gem but 'Thank You Lord' is probably my favourite.

Pure magic for just over a fiver (there's one on MusicStack right now at £8.99). Couldn't complain if it were £899. Detroit quality of the highest calibre :)


Got this the other day for about 6 quid. Delightful!

30p today,

not bad at all !

Should be able to snaffle a white promo for a fiver or so if you keep yer eye out

Sublime soul!!

 

And you can still pick up Syl Johnson - We did it - Hi - for a fiver if you shop around - for those that fancy somehting a bit more uptempo.

 

Enjoy - Adam

Didn't see this one mentioned, should be attainable for ~5 quid, and a damn great tune if you ask me.

 

Edited by YourArsenal

Always loved this one, but seems rarely played or even mentioned. The flip to "Feel So Bad".

 

 For the princely sum of £4.99, from a well known dealer as well

 

 

i cant believe ive never heard this before!..bought it blind for a fiver,it looks rare,it sounds rare,but i doubt it is rare!

 

but this tune ticks all the boxes for me,just been playing it really loud,and this record should be a MONSTER!

 

Tyrone Davis - I Can't Make It Without You

 

Gloria Edwards - (Need Nobody To Help Me) Keep Up With My Man

 

The Valentinos 

 

"You've Got The Kind Of Love That's For Real" that comes with a fabulous flip "Two Lovers History" which was also done by Mary Wells on the flip of "The Doctor"

 

Anyway, both Valentinos and Mary Wells a fiver or less

 

You've Got The Kind Of Love That's For Real

 

 

Two Lovers History

This is fabulous!

THE INTRUDERS - HANG ON IN THERE

Just bought one of these on UK PIR from ebay for £2.99. Mid tempo magic and surely a bargain price for music of this quality. It's what's in the groove that counts...

I was playing Bobby Womack this afternoon, great record. :thumbup:

my pick would be Eddie Floyd - I've never found a girl. worth a fiver of anyones money.

Take a look at the list I have just put up for sale, all a fiver !!! :thumbsup:

Just got a copy of The 5th Dimension - No love in the room - Arista

 

4 dollars on Gemm - 5 dollars for shipping from the States - ordered Moday 26th May arrived today (Wednesday) - does make you wonder about some of the postage charges from the States.

 

Great tune!!

Just picked up Bob and Earl's Puppet On A String which inturn is a cut of Harlem Shuffle from Des on Soul Source for a jacks. Both are so dark you need a lie down after you've played em.

A great sound with a bit of Harlem Shuffle and I can't get away  thrown in for good measure. 

Eddie Holman "You know that I will" . Eddie really lets loose and with that Harthon sound it is a great sound. £1.71 off  Ebay last week.

Picked this up on here for £2.50, plus the Platters Washed Ashore, Plus the Dells Wear It... all same price, all M-, all criminally cheap proper northern - tell you what, you could build up a fantastic collection just from the records mentioned on this thread.
