S.o.s (Soul On Saturday)

[Beatin Rhythm]

Hi, Soul Lovers,

                            Good times going on in Whitby, we hope,  for all who've gone to the weekender and a happy weekend to everyone.

Here's a list of Northern & Modern Soul on 45; if there's anything here that you'd like to buy then please send a Reply.

 

1. Look At The Girl - OTIS REDDING (Atco)............VG++.............you never see this on Otis' Greatest Hits comps, hence it not being a well-known tune but needs bringing out into the light of day and playing. A solid Memphis-flavoured Northern Soul beat meets the ears and feet in a very pleasing way. This was recorded at Otis' last studio session...................................£10

2. Everybody Needs Love / I'll Say Forever My Love - JIMMY LOVE (Soul)..............VG++..............lovely finger-clicking mid-tempo Northern dancer, everybody WOULD love this if played, it's a belter...............£10

3. Anything You Do Is Alright - THE RADIANTS (Chess demo)...............VG++...........one-sided demo, stomping Chess Northern though.....................£10

4. Don't Stop Loving Me - DAVID RUFFIN (Motown)...............VG++...................£15

5. Because I Love You - BILLY STEWART (Chess).............VG++...............bright, bouncy, feel-good Northern Soul dancer that should be spun more often if spreading happiness is your mission in life.....................£15

6. We'll Have It Made / My Whole World Ended - THE SPINNERS (V.I.P.)................VG++.............great double-sider, their version of "Whole World Ended" travels a bit faster than Dave Ruffin's, maybe a beat ballad dancer to consider.........................£10

7. How Easy Your Heart Forgets Me - THE SHOW STOPPERS (Heritage)................VG++...........£10

8. Daylight - BOBBY WOMACK (United Artists)...............VG++....................£10

9. I Lost The Only Love I Had - JOE VALENTINE (VAL)...............Mint-............superb mid-tempo Northern Soul dancer; if you have a soft spot for Willie Tee, you'll love this.................£110

10. Fabulous New York - JIMMY CASTOR (Jet Set demo)....................all-action, fast-moving Northern dancer in a film score setting, shades and sharp suit optional..................£35

11. Seven Day Lover - JAMES FOUNTAIN (Cream)...............Mint-..............................£20

12. Pretty Girl / Love Bandit (Beacon white demo)................VG++............1969 UK release of two great Northern Soul dancers.............................£95

13. If You Want This Love - SONNY KNIGHT (Aura).................VG++.............................£20

14. Slip Around - CHARLES HODGES (Calla)..................Mint-....................£12

15. She Shook My World - THE FLAMINGOS (Philips).....................VG++.................£15

16. If You Go - DEREK MARTIN (Sue)................VG++...................brilliant Northern, much-loved by dancers at the Twisted Wheel, great ammo for any DJ...............£45

17. I'd Be Grateful - BROTHERS OF SOUL (Boo)................VG++...................£120

18. More Love That's What We Need - THE GOSPEL CLASSICS (Checker)...............VG++...............stone soul Northern classic.....................£130

19. Crying Heart - THE INCREDIBLES (Audio Arts)..................VG++........................£50

20. Baby It's Wonderful - CHRIS BARTLEY (Vando)..............VG++................£10
