Karlm Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) PM to reserve. And better to view the list via https://karlmarthon.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/january-2017-sales-list/ Hello and welcome to the January 2017 list! 45’s only this time around with some examples from each sector. Northern Soul – Hesitations 28th Kent anniversary 45, Embracers second ultra rare 45 on Spectrum “Gotta get away”, Paramount 4 on Southern City (don’t overlook the superb ballad flip!) + oldies from Jerry Fuller, Jelly Beans, Jean Stanback and Gerri Taylor. Crossover – Maxine Weldon “I want Sunday back again”, Moses Dillard “Thank God for this thing called love” (both the UK and ultra rare US copy). Barbara King on Alwa, Brother to Brother super rare issue copy on the Win or Lose label. Modern Soul – Arthur Foy(!), Right Direction “Midnight rhythm”, Three Prophets on very rare first press. And oldies from Eugene Record and Garfield Fleming and 2 step from Leroy Hutson, Leon Ware, Retta Young and Keith & Darrell. Deep/Sweet/Group – Also a few big hitters here such Soul Superiors “Don’t blame the children”, Emulations “These are the things”, Emanons “One heart”, Elusions “I’d like to say I love you” and more. Again – For all paypal payments please make sure I get the payment in GBP. Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Paypal will default so that I receive your payment in SEK unless you change to GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees.

Sneaked in on the b-side of the rare issue copies of the release “Good and plenty” it stayed under the radar for a long time and really only was acknowledged wider when re-issued on a 12” in the early 2000’s. Nice and clean copy complete with company sleeve.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfvSR0QYP4I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsMZVWa12fw Le Frank ‘O – Keep on gettin’ down – M M-M Gold / EX / £45 (Bumping classic!
