Hi, Soul Lovers,

                          Hope you're well and looking forward to a busy weekend, here's a list of Northern & Modern Soul Sevens for your consideration; if there's anything here that you'd like to buy then please reply via Soul Source or phone 0161 834 7783 to order or reserve an item (10.00 am - 5.30 pm).

 

1. You Better Check Yourself / Ain't Nothing You Can Do - JOE MATTHEWS (Soul City).................Mint-.....Re-issue that was always played for "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" but many people (DJ's are people too!) are waking up to the splendour of the flipside, very strong Northern with,dare we say it, Balls. Well worth checking out, could be THE next big one!............................£10

2. Come On Over To My Side - BILLY BUTLER (Brunswick).................VG++............£30

3. I Gotta Keep My Bluff In - FREDDIE HUGHES (Wand)....................we think a lot of this superb Crossover groover, has a very summer-time feel to it and will sound great anywhere.................£20

4. Across The Sreet - LENNY O'HENRY (Atco)...................Mint-.................class Northern mid-tempo dancer....................£30

5. Catch You On The Rebound - BRENTON WOOD (Double Shot)...................Mint-.....................£15

6. Lost In The Mood Of Changes - BOBBY BYRD (Smash).....................VG++.................£30

7. I Wish You The World Of Happiness - SHIRLEY TURNER (Beatin Rhythm white demo)...........Mint-........£15

8. I Got A Bone To Pick With You - RUBY ANDREWS (ABC)...................VG++...............spun at The Ritz All-Dayers that dominated the mid-70's social scene of many tireless dancers; may have slipped through the net but well-deserving now of some proper attention as it will impress all who get to hear it.............£20

9. Baby I Like It - GODOY COLBERT (Revue)..............Mint-.................this is a fantastic dancer you may already know and love as it shares the same backing track as Len Jewell's "All My Good Good Lovin'", certainly a crowd-pleaser if played..........................£75

10. Where Are You - JOHNNY DIXON (Boss)....................Mint-......................£90

11. In The Sunshine - THE MARVELLOS (Modern demo)......................Mint-.......................£65

12. Let Me Love You - CLAUSEL (Up-Right demo)...................Mint-.....................very nice Modern Room dancer with all the right elements of soul to it, no gimmicks or sound-effects on this rare 1982 release............£125

13. Don't Have To Be Lying Babe - GENE CHANDLER (Curtom)....................Mint-...............................change of style for Gene as he eschews the fast Northern beat for a more mellow, classier Crossover dancer..............................£30

14. I Don't Need It - LEE BARRY (Downey demo).....................Mint-...................stomping Northern dancer from the future Barry White, who'd ha thowt it!........................£65

15. Only All The Time / Fool, Fool, Fool - BARBARA LEWIS (Atlantic)........................VG++.................£15

16. Without A Warning - THE AMAZERS (Thomas)............VG++.............................£20

20. Cry It Out Baby - DEANA LUCAS (Hill).................Mint-..................£45

21. Isn't It Wonderful To Dream - HERBERT HUNTER (Poncello).............fantastic R&B/Northern dancer that's just a bit faster than mid-tempo and sounds like a cross between "Sugar Dumpling" (Sam Cooke) and a speeded-up version of "Stand By Me" (Ben E. King) but with Chuck Jackson-sounding vocals, a real nice mix indeed..............VG++........................£25

22. With My Love And What You've Got - JEAN WELLS (Calla)........................Mint-................£60

23. Wonderful Night - CANDACE LOVE (Aquarius)..................VG++.......................£30

24. Mine Exclusively - THE OLYMPICS (Mirwood demo).................the original Northern Soul sound, stomper supreme, Wigan Casino and Blackpool Mecca monster!......................VG++...................£20

25. Fear Not - THE LEDGENDS (Commonwealth United demo)...............hung on for dear life for many years, but the great Crossover/Modern dancer is now getting the plays it has always deserved; treat thissen to a cracker!!.........................Mint-.........................£45

 

Many thanks for looking through the list, don't forget that we have tickets available for the August 10th MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS concert (£26.50p each). The latest news is that it has switched venues to GORILLA which is directly opposite The Ritz on Whitworth St., Manchester.

 

Keep on loving your vinyl, totally un-downloadable and always will be!
