Great record, nice vinyl but bad label tear to left of label, inch by
inch and a half

Raised part of the label is a little grubby but vinyl is fine, maybe EX-
visually but plays EX

uptempo funky dancer



HOT BUSH - TELL ME THAT YOU WILL - APA DEMO

A Catacombs anthem.

LARRY BARNES - RAGS IS RAGS - MERCURY
EX 20
Good blue eyed pounder

 

TROY DODDS - TRYING TO FIND MY BABY / EARTHQUAKE - BAYTOWN DEMO
EX- 20
Rare white demo, obviously one of the first to be found as it has little
sellotape remnants on the run off where a cover up label was applied. 
This is the rare Swan distributed press.



PHIL COULTER & HIS ORCHESTRA - A GOOD THING GOING - COLUMBIA
EX 20
Nice instrumental though remember when this was first played and
everyone went 'what the...??' Only usually see this on a demo, this
one's a red issue, very slight wear plays immaculately



BILL PINKNEY - DON'T CALL ME - FONTANA
EX 20
James Brown production, nice dancer, bargain

 

THE FANTASTIC JOHNNY C - DON'T DEPEND ON ME - PHIL LA OF SOUL
EX 15
Nice original vinyl copy



THE FOUR JAYS - LOVE MY LOVE - CONGRESS
EX+ 15
Another forgotten Wigan oldie

 

SONNY OCEANS - PITY ME - COLUMBIA DEMO
EX+ 15
A Wigan "one spin wonder", I still think it's great though



THE NITE TRAIN - TO THE BITTER END - ROULETTE DEMO
VG 15
Looks rough, plays fine with a small amount of crackle in parts. 
Probably been sleeveless all it's life

 

GAYLORD & HOLIDAY - LOVE WHERE HAVE YOU GONE - PALMER
M- 15
Dancer


BOBBY BLAND - CALL ON ME - DUKE
EX 15
One of the 'foundation' dancers from the earliest days of rare soul, was
once so rare that it was played off an LP as no 45's had been imported
yet


BOBBY McCLURE - YOU GOT ME BABY / PEAK OF LOVE - CHECKER
EX+ 15
Excellent double sider

 

THE VONTASTICS - YOU CAN WORK IT OUT - ST. LAWRENCE DEMO

One sided demo - great uptempo dancer

Plays EX, light ring wear



JOE FRAZIER - FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT - MOTOWN DEMO
M- 10



SPYDER TURNER - I CAN'T MAKE IT ANYMORE - MGM
EX 10
Surprised that some people are saying that Ritchie Havens plodding folk
version of this is better than Spyder's. Those people should be
arrested.



JACKIE LEE - THE SHOTGUN AND THE DUCK / TEMPTATION WALK - MIRWOOD
EX 10
We take records like this for granted now but what a double sider,
'Shotgun' almost melts the paper off the walls and 'Temptation' really
is the epitomy of West Coast Northern Soul.



THE PLATTERS - DEVRI - MUSICOR
EX+ 10
Totally forgotten Torch oldie, lovely dancer, chime bars a plenty



THE DELLS - MAKE SURE - CADET
EX- 10
Classic oldie, some light marks not affecting play. Ever tried the B
side, "Does Anybody Know I'm Here", a very poignant Vietnam song? 
Blimey. Tugs at the heartstrings alright.



JIMMY CLIFF - WATERFALL - A & M
M- 10



THE TRAITS - HARLEM SHUFFLE - SCEPTER
M 10

Stompalong blue eyed version. Buy it for the worst version of West Side
Story's "Somewhere" on the B side, sounds like Vic Reeves' club singer
on vocals.



SHORT PEOPLE - WHY'D YOU PUT IT TO ME BABY - GUSTO
EX 10



THE VELVELETTES - THESE THINGS WILL KEEP ME LOVING YOU - SOUL
EX 10
Some people prefer the Blue Sharks Top of the Pops LP style version to
this!



BLACK NASTY - CUT YOUR MOTOR OFF - BIG HIT
EX 10



LESLEY MILLER - YOU GOT A WAY OF BRINGING OUT MY TEARS - RCA DEMO
M- 10
Clumsy title, nice midtempo girlie sound
