20 DANCERS FOR TUESDAY

 

ELDRIDGE HOLMES - HUMPBACK - JET SET                                                                                                          EX            20

Uptempo dancer, new dance craze - don't think The Humpback ever caught on though

 

THE MARVELLOS - DOWN IN THE CITY / IN THE SUNSHINE - MODERN DEMO                               EX-           25

In The Sunshine is a lovely, typical Van McCoy tune.  This side is EX, other side is VG++.

 

THE INTENTIONS - TIME / COOL SUMMER NIGHT - UPTOWN                                                                   EX            25

Two really nice vocal group sides, both midtempo

 

JIMMY NORMAN - FAMILY TREE - MERCURY                                                                                                        EX            75

Storming dancer, Johnny Brantley production.  Ballad B side bit crackly at start.

 

BOBBY JONES - BEWARE A STRANGER - USA DEMO                                                                                         VG++      20

Great lesser known oldie, plays fine, X on label and very small label damage (looks like another label got stuck to it at some point)

 

DOC & THE INTERNS - BABY I KNOW - NOW                                                                                                        EX            25 SOLD

A proper old style stomper from Hollywood CA

 

JESSE JOHNSON - HOLES IN MY SOUL - OAK                                                                                                         EX+         10

70's dancer

 

LARRY WILLIAMS - THIS OLD HEART (IS SO LONELY) - OKEH DEMO                                                     EX+         60

Super-soulful vocal on this one, with a typical uptempo screamer on the B side, great double sider

 

JERRY JACKSON - GYPSY EYES - KAPP DEMO                                                                                                       VG++      25

Great early 60's Big City Soul, few surface marks but plays great, name on label

 

JOANNE MORGAN - JUST HOW LOUD (MUST THE MUSIC PLAY) - MGM                                                  EX            25

Rare black issue copy

 

RUBY JOHNSON - CALLIN' ALL BOYS - V TONE                                                                                                     VG+         25

This one had an evil scratch on the edge which clicked for the first 20 seconds, I've managed to file it down and now it's just a background tick which is slightly annoying but not a disaster.  Fair price..

 

DEON JACKSON - OOH BABY - CARLA                                                                                                                       EX            15

Classic Detroit floater

 

THE NITE TRAIN - TO THE BITTER END - ROULETTE DEMO                                                                      EX            20

Same tune as Bobby Hill on LoLo

 

PAUL (GUITAR RED) JOHNSON - PRETTY EYED BABY - CHECKER                                                           EX            15

Not the R&B you might expect, more of a popcorn type dancer, very nice

 

BILLY CONN - I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN - FEDERAL                                                                                          EX            40

Nice early soul with uptempo R & B flip

 

THE TOYS - WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME BABY - VIRGO                                                                                    EX            15 SOLD

I think this might be the only issue of this track on a 45

 

JIMMY HOLIDAY - SHIELD ALL ROUND - KT                                                                                                           EX            25

Brilliant and underrated lesser known

 

THE GAINORS - TELL HIM - TALLEY HO                                                                                                                   EX-           25

Early Van McCoy composition, popcorn style dancer, one small non-sounding mark on the vinyl

 

YVONNE GOMEZ - MY MAN A GO GO - HAWAII                                                                                                    EX            20

Amazingly this one still books at £100!  This copy is a tiny, tiny bit offcentre, I mean really tiny.

 

JIMMY GRESHAM & THE GIBSON KINGS - NOBODY KNOWS (THE TROUBLE I SEE) - KITTY       EX            40

150 in JM and 40 in Anglo...best go lower I think
