1. Gloria Jones - Tainted love - Champion / VG / £90 (Original! Styrene copy with the correct runout details. Labels are clean but vinyl has many light superficial marks, plays well.)

 

2. Cheers - Take me to paradise / I made up my mind - OKeh / EX / £55 (Very rare vinyl copy! Usually seen on styrene. Really nice and clean Red A/white promo copy of this northern soul classic. The official a-side “I made up my mind” is an excellent group soul cut.)

 

3. Gladys Knight - Too late for you and me / Supremes - Love is like an itching in my heart (alt take) / EX / £50 (White label copy of two previously unreleased Motown tracks. This is the sought after release which came out in the late 1980’s and were then sold for £20 as new. Excellent sound quality. Clean labels. A copy sold on eBay in 2010 for $265.)

 

4. Roe-O-Tation - Special category / Old love - Gerim / VG+ / £50 (Two great midtempo soul sides! Writing on label, says “Plug” + “DJ Copy” + two “X”. Vinyl has shade like marks, think it has been treated with teflon spray. Plays well.)

 

5. Two Fellows - Stop (Don’t give up your loving) / Yea, yea, yea, yea - Mutt / EX / £50 (Northern soul backed with great group soul slowie.)

 

6. Gigi & the Charmaines - I don’t wanna lose him / Mysteries - Too late now - Kent / £45 (Kent 27th Anniversary 45, two great previously unissued 1960’s sides.)

 

7. Carol Anderson - Holding on / It shouldn’t happen to a dog - Mid-Town / VG+ / £40 (Tough Detroit double header, usually seen with a lesser good flipside. Vinyl has shade like stains, plays well but not perfect.)

 

8. City Limitz - First love - Virtue / EX / £40 (White promo copy of this funky soul indemander. Very in vogue sound at the moment.)

 

9. Pat Lundy & Bobby Harris - We got a thing goin’ on - Heidi / EX / £40 (White demo of this midtempo duo disc. Vinyl is clean but label has small sticker on each side, A-side also has an X writing and two stamped A’s.)

11. Bernadette Peters - We’ll start the party again - Abc-Paramount / VG+ / £20 (Great looking white demo. The artist was great looking and white too - blue eyed northern soul. Vinyl has been teflon treated.)

 

12. Magnificent Men - I’ve got news - Capitol / VG- / £20 (Blue eyed stomping northern soul classic. Partly removed sticker on flip. Vinyl has lots and lots of marks but plenty of shine. Plays fairly clean with only a little background in the very beginning before clearing up fine.)
