Harvey Scales & the Seven Seas “Trying To Survive” (Magic Touch) EX offers

Dark funky soul with a message, that’s hard to beat. The last copy I had for offers a while back went for a grand in strong VG. This one is sharp, besides the label being pressed ever so slightly off centre (still well inside the run-out grooves though, and not too noticeable). Current high bid is at £900.

The Loveseed “Loveseed / Being Alone” (Amnestay) solid VG £125

Obscure northern backed with a sweet ballad. “Loveseed” plays great, a little faint noise on the ballad side & faint ringwear to labels.

3^rd World Band “Third World Tripping” (New World) VG £100

Powerful ‘70s funk banger from Norfolk VA. Only light surface marks, but like virtually all copies this has some kind of surface “sheen” — luckily barely audible once the music starts. Clean labels, and slight dish not affecting play (in favour of Pt.2).

Devil’s Workshop “Satan’s Soul / She Waits, She Loves, She Cares” (no label) EX £250

Strong ‘70s funk from Indiana with killer horns that give it a lush feel reminiscent of Deep Heat’s “Do It Again”. The group ballad on the flip is also gorgeous (that side is VG because of a scratch causing a few light tics right at the start).

Love Symphony Orchestra “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” (Talpro) EX £75

The Techniques “Disco Jungle / Brighter Days” (Techniques) strong EX £250

Excellent ‘70s funk from Kentucky. The subtle, moody soul flip is equally great — what a singer. Looks virtually M- with a dish not affecting play (dished in favour of the uptempo side).
