Anyone new to the lists, and I know there are quite a few who've joined up recently, if you want details of Northern Soul dvd's - official and otherwise - just drop me a line, the list is at the bottom of the page.

Cheers

Pete

GEORGE BLACKWELL - CAN'T LOSE MY HEAD - SMOKE VG+ 600

Well here's one that doesn't turn up every day - this is a definite original, it's on vinyl, has no P.B. in the run off and is guaranteed. It's well played but no major problems, a few surface marks and initials on the other side...only the second time I've ever had a real one of these, needs a good home.

THE HYMES SISTERS - WALKING AROUND THE TOWN - JERJIMHAN EX 60

Very nice girl group dancer

LESLIE UGGAMS - LOVE IS A GOOD FOUNDATION - SONDAY EX 30

Nice copy, an issue with the picture label

GINO WASHINGTON - LIKE MY BABY (INST) - DO DE RE VG++ 45

Awesome instrumental, few light clicks in places, my own copy

POSSE - EVIL - JANUS VG+ 50

Okay well this looks like it's going to be rough, there's a fair bit of ringwear and the vinyl is marked but it plays really really well, some minor noise on the very quite bits but apart from that, fine, and perfect for djing with

THE BRACELETS - YOU'RE JUST FOOLING YOURSELF - 20TH CENTURY DEMO EX 80

Beautiful copy of this excellent girl group sound

SANDRA PHILLIPS - YOU SUCCEEDED - BROADWAY VG+ 25

Never understoof why this wasn't massive - far better than World Without Sunshine

BOBBY BLAND - SHOES - DUKE EX- 25

Classic

RAY POLLARD - THE DRIFTER - UNITED ARTISTS DEMO VG+ 125

Bit of label wear and a tiny split second hiss on the first note - otherwise fine

DETROIT SOUL - ALL OF MY LIFE - MUSIC TOWN EX 75

Stamped original

FRANCES NERO - KEEP ON LOVING ME - SOUL DEMO EX 100

Very rare white demo - same track both sides

MARY WELLS - ME WITHOUT YOU - 20TH CENTURY M 15

Superb midtempo, as are all her 20th Century sides

HAROLD MELVIN & THE BLUE NOTES - GET OUT (AND LET ME CRY) - LANDA EX 60

Lovely issue

LUTHER INGRAM - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE - HURDY GURDY EX 150

Same track as The Harrison Brothers, ultra-rare Detroit dancer, first copy I've ever seen

BUDDY LAMP - YOU'VE GOT THE LOVING TOUCH - WHEELSVILLE EX 40

Nice Detroit double sider with I Wanna Go Home on the flip

CLAUDE HUEY - WHY WOULD YOU BLOW IT - GALAXY EX 200

Huge indemand nighter sound as featured on NS Classiest Rarities cd

RECORDS REDUCED FROM PREVIOUS LISTS

This is stuff that either didn't sell or people ordered and didn't pay for, you know who you are, thanks a lot! This is where the bargains are.

MARJORIE BLACK - ONE MORE HURT - SUE DEMO EX 100

Some might say this is a high price but this is one hell of a rare white demo, it's a monster sound for anyone who plays it and it's fantastic...so...a bargain!

RUFUS LUNLEY - I'M IN LOVE AGAIN - SKYSCRAPER DEMO EX 70

Very very rare original white demo

AMANDA HUMPHREY - POWER OF LOVE - USA DEMO EX 45

Brilliant lesser known Wigan spin, powerful stuff

TAJ MAHAL - A LOT OF LOVE - COLUMBIA M 25

Now forgotten oldie, massive in 77, this is an unplayed stock copy

MR TEARS (PARIS) - DON'T LEAD ME ON - 4J VG 25

Looks a bit rough this one, has a bit of noise, but from a collectors point of view it's unusual as it's a plain black design before the label had a revamp

BETTY TURNER - BE CAREFUL GIRL - LIBERTY DEMO VG++ 90

This has a few surface marks so I've downgraded it but it plays better than the grade, cream label demo, has 4 x's on the label...good price for this one though

KENNI WOODS - CAN'T HE TAKE A HINT - PHILIPS VG++ 25

Again some light marks stop this one getting an EX grade. Has some ringwear on the label. This is a great dancer from Kenni who is better known as Sandi Sheldon!

MAXINE WOODS & PAT PATTERSON - I'M SO HUNGRY - DE-TO VG+ 50

Must admit this is a new one on me, books at 200 quid but not sure why - very very fast dancer

ESTHER PHILLIPS - JUST SAY GOODBYE - ATLANTIC VG++ 60

The classic beat ballad still going strong, some light crackle at start gives it that grade but that disappears quickly

GENE MCDANIELS - WALK WITH A WINNER - LIBERTY DEMO EX 70

The classic ender

TATE - LOVE SHOP - CLOVERSTREET EX 100

Very underrated late Wigan/Stafford dancer

DEE EDWARDS - YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME - TUBA EX 30

Beautiful Detroit midtempo sound

Superb uptempo Detroit magic

DORA HALL - PRETTY BOY - RAINBEAU EX 20

Stafford oldie

JOY LEONARD - DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME - HERCULES DEMO VG 60

Again, a very rare item, books at 200, but only VG so half price

THE FOXES - I MIGHT JUST FALL IN LOVE - ABC DEMO VG 50

Books at 150 but listed here at half price - nice midtempo girl group sound

THE SANDPIPERS - YOUNG GENERATION - KISMET EX 20

80's biggie, great dancer

APRIL STEVENS - WANTING YOU - MGM EX- 25

Nice black issue

THE ARTISTICS - THIS HEART OF MINE - OKEH VG++ 70

Plays EX at least, just a few light marks and a small number sticker on the label one side, otherwise, a stunning record

JUDY CLAY - YOU BUSTED MY MIND - SCEPTER EX 20

Belting Mr M's oldie, nice original red label

GENE CARTER - RING AROUND MY ROSIE - JOCOY EX 60

Cracking uptempo northern/R&B dancer, Fred Smith production

Nice early Detroit dancer, writing on label (will describe)

CHRIS HAMILTON - I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR LOVE - BELL DEMO EX- 20

Great girly dancer

Totally forgotten Mecca oldie - excellent late 60's or early 70's social comment stuff - rare

VI VELASCO - I DON'T WANT TO GO ON - VEEJAY EX- 20

Nice beat ballad, small click at start so cheap!

LOU JOHNSON - MAGIC POTION / ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME - BIG HILL

Classic double sider EX 10

Good Robert banks produced dancer, books in at 100

JIMMY CLANTON - EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO TEARS - MALA DEMO VG++ 25

The original of Barry St John, slower pace, beat ballad with big production - anyone looking for a good ender could do worse!
