Hi, Soul Lovers, Happy New Year, this year vinyl is sure to take on even more importance in collector's terms so make sure you get certain goodies if you see them.....before they're gone for good. Here's a list of Northern & Modern Soul sevens; if you see anything that you'd like to buy then please send a reply or phone 0161 834 7783 (10.00 am - 5.15 pm Monday - Saturday or 11.00 am - 4.00 pm on Sundays)

 

1. Just The Thought Of You - DELORES CARR (Deltom)...................VG++...............1980 release with a very mid-70's Candi Staton feel, maroon label looks like a 60's rarity while her name has echoes of a big-voiced R&B gal from the 50's yet this is a decent Modern Room dancer and a top quality playout............£20

2. Pizza Pie Man - ROOSEVELT GRIER (D-Town).....................Mint-.....................a top Northern Soul floor-filler, strong enough for any event, we can deliver..............£150

3. You Did - PRISCILLA PAGE & RONY DARREL (Topper)......................Mint-...............good Northern Soul dancer on a really collectible label........................£75

5. Twenty Four Hour Service - CHARLIE ROMANS (Hickory)..........VG++.....................£10

6. Tears, Tears, Tears - BLACK SATIN (UK Buddah)...................VG++.................never given the full-on plays it deserved back in 1977 when it sank in the whirlpool of Disco Music as it leaned towards the retro end of the spectrum,  but that mix of Northern plus New York has a lot going for it today................£10

7. The New World - THE BURNING EMOTION (ABC demo)..................VG++..........pounding Northern Soul instrumental........................£10

8. Shake A Tail Feather - JAMES & BOBBY PURIFY (Bell)......................Massive Wigan Casino oldie favourite, bend over let me see you shake a tail-feather...................VG++..................£10

9. Can't Understand It - JERRY BUTLER & BRENDA LEE EAGER (Mercury).............VG++............great finger-clicking mid-paced Modern Soul dancer that is now picking up plays, may be one of this year's popular spins...................£10
