Bo Diddley Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) John Manship Records Unrivalled access to distinctive vinyl Curly Moore You Don't Mean / Don't Pity Me Current Northern Soul DJ support to this New Orleans stomper has sent demand into orbit, as new even stronger than before lease of life takes hold.. Classic style Northern Soul driven by Allen Toussaint’s rattling piano, enriched by vocal-group purrings, bouncing along in even greater intoxicating joy than those Lee Dorsey sessions that brought Allen Toussaint / Marshall Seahorn their worldwide success. Their New Orleans character on this occassion is pushed out of the envelope, into it’s 60’s dance limits.. A dancefloor inflamer, infectious in the extreme dripping with all the qualities to set the night alight.. so no wonder then this 45 has come back with a second wind to knock us out yet another time… Top Jocks like John Vincent bring it back into the public eye.. Leaving me wondering why this slab of NS addiction wasn’t a huge tune in the 70’s.. did will all miss it? or were we to busy to notice? with all the different styles of disco, funk, pop contaminated our minds during that period.. This is pure distilled Northern Soul .. the type that lasts forever in the mind! JUST LOVE IT!! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 476.00 Four Reputation Call On Me / Sorry 1966 first label before they withdrawn, revamped and repressed so to rectify the error of the reversed labels…but not before the back office at Millage records, took a marker to the labels and the re-titling of the labels began. Before you today is a rare example of a CLEAN copy that escape before the mistake was noticed. NO WRITING ON LABEL. Labels are reversed but they are totally free of writing adjustments. Now that is a rare thing to find. The guys at Carlton House Hotel, Philadelphia in 1968 revamped the 45 and AMERICAN MUSIC MAKER took up the task of getting back on the market, this great Bobby Martin created was just too good to pass over. Calling the group The Presentations it was issued on # 0011, did a small bit of business but this release is also no easy disc to find. Top side is of course, just killer Northern Soul, flip it over for a fusion tortured Deep Soul smoothed with a delicate crochet of male harmonies.. Two standout tunes! In it’s rarest form, unsullied by the marker pen most all of this rarity suffer from.. check those glorious labels, then immerse yourself in the remarkable soundfile. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 332.00 Toni Basil Breakaway Perfection awaits the Northern Soul classic collector who snags this Wigan Casino / Cleethorpes Pier anthem. As it is such an impeccable copy. It’s not Christmas, otherwise it would be at the head of our “Manship Mints For Xmas” campaign. Archetypal Casino / Pier from those long Saturday nights in the 70’s when nobody was quite sure who Toni Basil actually was? She was an aspiring 23 year old dancer, who was performing on the Los Angeles based TV music show “Shindig”. Then Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss gave her a one shot 45 chance with the “Tainted Love” partnership of Ed Cobb & Lincoln Mayorga. Who in character forged a thumpin’ Northern Soul dancer that took England’s Soul all-niters by a storm.. If you’re one of the many assembling an enviable run of the Northern Soul classic WHITE PROMO’s.. you will never unearth a more magnificent example than this.. MANSHIP MINT… that catapults you back to those idyllic Saturday nights.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 375.00 Charles Johnson Never Had A Love So Good / Baby I Cried, Cried, Cried in 1980 our mailing list had a section of new releases, this Miami mesmerizer featured in on one list only, 25 copies £1.30 each.. they flew out the door in 2 days.. so we ordered some more.. but received not a single copy. Alston had they’re initial small run, sold them a across the globe and ha no intention of pressing any more as the a-side “Baby I Cried, Cried, Cried” received no recognition from the radio stations in the USA.. It didn’t take long for Northern Soul attention to take hold and he rest is history. Those who missed it as a new release lived in regret, as did the dealer who ordered too few copies.. as this 45 disappeared without trace, with the years rolling by, the value was this beautiful 45 just escalated, leaving us all kicking ourselves. The only copies I ever found after 1980 in the USA were PROMO copies, as good as the Deep Soul treasure Alston led with, is. The promo does not have “Never Had A Love So Good” on the flipside.. How frustrating to watch this 45 become more and more wanted over the decades.. for those who missed the boat in 1980 , here’s a copy in “time machine” condition, just like it was when Andy “Bustin’ Mindsweeper” Cox mailed those first Charles Johnson’s out from our little Office in Nottingham Street, Melton Mowbray.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 411.00 Ray Pollard It's A Sad Thing / All The Things You Are As hard as I try, I cannot find a blemish worth a mention of this 1966 British born Beat Ballad jewel. The Big City Sound brought to you by one of it’s most-respected exponents.. a man who lifts every arrangement once his vocal takes flight.. So typically New York, a monumental blending of of Bass Guitar rhythm, Blaring Brass, searing strings, and the compulsory coven of shrill girls in chorus. But this is so much more than a Beat-Ballad as Arnold Goland & Gerry Granahan turn to tap on, forcing the pace upwards into a Latin infused Northern Soul dancer.. whilst “The Drifter” will stir your emotions, “Sad Thing” stealthily stirs you feet.. Do not pass by - a Ray Pollard in impeccable condition, is just like the artist.. not a thing you encounter very often… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 155.00 Paul Anka When We Get There A sumptuous Black stock copy of this polarizing Northern Soul dancefloor congestion causer. Without fail Don Costa’s New York creation ignites euphoric-recall at all the Big Hall events, transporting the NS time-served congregation back to those halcyon days of the Northern Soul when all the All-niters hummed to the feelgood tones of Paul Anka. Some love it, some loath it, but most all, forget Paul Anka was no ordinary vocalist, he was so exceptional… Rick Hall paired him with the magical voice of Oadia Coates inviting the duo to record at the fabled Muscle Shoals Fame studios where the tow of them gelled into a pool of soulful excellence.. It is no mistake that Don Costa produce him on this recording, Don had a gift for making the exceptional “white guys” sound Soulful, as did Rick Hall. Yes Paul Anka is not considered a Soul singer by collectors, but by some producers Artie Schroeck, Garry Sherman, Don Costa, Jet Loring, Rick Hall felt enough in his voice to lay tracks down with him, that equally woulds have perfectly fitted a “black” vocal” Let the debate begin, meanwhile that beautiful BLACK STOCKER is singing to your collectable instincts.. Condition is beautiful by the way, just a couple of brief hairlines, otherwise flawless! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 146.00 Strangeloves Night Time 1964 the year Peter Sellers starred in Stanley Kubrick’s wonderful comedy movie, satire about loving “The Bomb”! Well, you gotta love this “Bomb” from “Strangelove’s” and you may well require a “Doctor” after experiencing the dance floor reaction it is currently igniting. The persistent endorsement of this uncompromising MOD stomper from Shaun Chapman, has at long last triggered an explosive happening now hot on the heels of that monster recording “Line and Track”. “Night Time” is the next in line, as the “Garage” record of the moment, to take the Northern Soul scene by the scruff-of-the-neck and shake it to it’s foundations.. Potent in the extreme, relentless, uncompromising and so very effective for the Northern Soul dance requirements… currently being played from the not so rare, USA press on Bang Records. But here is the 1965 British incarnation, not so easy to acquire; in this Mint minus pristine condition, even harder, in fact anything over 50 years old on a British release, to be unused is a rare event, full stop! Jerry Goldstein, Richard Gottehrer, Bob Feldman are a trio widely appreciated by the Northern Soul scene for their string of writing credits for some of NS’s most favoured songs.. but they also knew how to bring excitement to the recording studio, as artists not just a writer/producer trio. Jerry Goldstein, Richard Gottehrer, Bob Feldman collectively in 1964 went under the “Kubrick?” inspired name The Strangeloves recording some homegrown killer tunes. Notably “Cara-lin” “I Want Candy” becoming popular all-time MOD Hipshakers, “Night Time” now bridging the twin-scenes for huge Northern Soul action.. Whilst every other DJ most probably owns the USA Bang 45, here’s a chance to turn heads when the turntable-cam picks up a pristine UK London spinning round… without that annoying inherent surface pimple the Bang pressings have, that emmit a click every time the stylus glides over the USAflaw.. You will not see a finer example of this UK rarity than this listing…perfect sound, perfect label, pristine playing surface NO PIMPLE! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 195.00 Aaron I'm In Love With Someone New Aaron McCarthy with rare 80’s Georgia Soul groove, a D.I.Y. project out of Red Oak, Ga. A classy Boogie stepper dominated by a searing saxophone and Aaron’s positive vocal style, softened by cutting girl choruses. Although personally I don’t consider the 80s or the 90s Soul’s finest decade, but very occasionally I encounter a standout production that makes you halt what your doing for a closer listen. BOTH sides did claim my complete attention, as insistent vocal seeping from a liquid arrangement with so many ear grabbing moments.. This a slab of CLASS! From this Travis Briggs & Aaron McCarthy collaboration, each side giving up qualities for the more discerning event. Top side is cutting-edge 80’s dance-groove, the flip is a chill-out dreamy saturated in unwind characteristics.. 80’s Soul at it’s most captivating… this copy is immaculate. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 101.00 Marvin Gaye This Love Starved Heart Of Mine (it's Killing Me) A stunning copy of Marvin’s most treasured Northern Soul offering complete with picture cover capturing him in full tortured vocal pose..and in contrast the most relaxed picture of Marvin ever snapped on the back cover. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 561.00 Little Reuben In The Name Of Loneliness Soulful Dance does not get any more convincing than this masterpiece.. It is rare to encounter a song that invades your very being from the tips of your toes to the top of your head, stiffening hair follicles on it’s journey before settling right in your heart.. Only the very special Soul moments that capture antithetic despair in motion. Whether an artist is such a skilled interpreter of pain or Little Reuben has just found himself truly alone is not clear, but his palpable anguish manifests itself on every word, as his voice quivers and cracks as lays down the lyrics with tortured oscillation… Rare Soul Dance a contradiction in terms maybe, but Little Reuben inflicts the sweetest pain you feel compelled to move to… This is the very embodiment of RARE UNDILUTED SOUL that just makes you wanna DANCE… ! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 625.00 Millionaires Never For Me One of the biggest Northern Soul revival spins of the moment.. Here is the elusive first British press, not the horrid later 70s silver inkjet release, pressed in Phonogram’s inferior, easy-crack, harsh fidelity plastic the company sadly started to use in te 70’s. This is the paper label, “warm” vinyl first edition. Housed in birth-sleeve, fine clean condition, both labels unblemished, vinyl surface is near Mint minus. So click the soundfile to hear what is jamming up those dancefloor’s of Britain at this moment in time - a current MONSTER.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 167.00 Dorothy Morrison I Can't Go On Without You Part 1 & 2 A Bay Area delicacy from the desk of Marvin Holmes, utilizing the Gospel-honed vocal of Edwin Hawkin Singers member Dorothy Morrison, who’s controlled booming vocal is woven into a classy dance arrangement. Marvin Holmes’s long term studio partner Danny Armstrong again decorates a standout vocal with a compelling fusion of Jazz/Soul/Gospel, molded into a superior 70’s dance recording… Brown Door studios gave up such a wealth of great Soul music, it’s output of quality assured recordings is unparalleled in the Bay Area, in Soul collectors eyes it has elevating itself into a “try and own the entire label run”…status.. With voices like Dorothy Morrison, Jeanne Tracy on your catalog, talented musicians seamlessly entwining Soul into Jazz arrangements the result is quite stunning, as all their sessions have that “never grow tire of” quality… This Dorothy Morrison I’ve never grown tired of it’s company… This copy is immaculate, btw Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 122.00 36 45's To Be Listed 10th. August 36 Titles NEW WEBSITE comes into being on August 10th. For a smooth transition from the old site to the new. Auction ending 9th. August is the LAST auction for this site. 36 new titles will be added in hopefully ONE DAY on the 10th.

Guest Gogs Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I was talking to a friend of mine on Saturday (the promoter of the local Oldies Night), I said that i expected the Charles Johnson (he has a copy) to go around £400, and the Paul Anka (i Have a copy) to go for about £150. If i could only predict the lotto numbers as closely i would be very happy.
Frankie Crocker Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Some set-sale prices here rather than auction bonanzas. Bit of a reality check given recent price rises.

Tomangoes Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I had a Charles Johnson when nobody would give more than a fiver for it. Sold it for a tenner. Thought I'd done well... I should have put a sell on clause in the sale, like the footballer transfers do now:) Ed 1

Copues must run into four figures, you saw it everwhere at one time, every box, every list. It was like that with so many so called "rarities" these days. I can't believe that the Millionaires goes for such as price. When it was popular back in the 70's copies were so plentiful you could buy it for less than a Starbucks coffee today. Anyone and everyone had one. Same thing with the likes of Epitome of Sound. I guess its just demand from the oldies crowd and maybe those late to the party. 1

dthedrug Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 OK! It's a strange world price wise, as how can a true rarity like Ray Pollards "sad thing" be cheaper than The Millionaires?? the Marvin Gaye 2nd (madness), the fact of this auction is how disappointing that demand out bids a true rare record, for an example, the £155 the Ray Pollards "sad thing", if I gave anyone the same amount to by another copy for that price, they would find it very hard, not impossible but near on, on the other hand how many copies of the Millionaire's could you buy? I wonder if our BOOTLEG chums are thinking about a bootleg DEMO of it, with a limited pre release individually numbered 1 to 1,000,000 on a soulful black wax? OK I concede that I have DEMO copies for all except ! which don't exist, well this is what I think "don't trust a conman" & I am not talking about John Manship who is a decent blokr 1
Popular Post Chalky Posted August 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) The Marvin Gaye Love Starved Heart auctioned was the first release of the track and those saying otherwise should know better and if not then a quick google will give you the facts. Chris King's came out four years or so later. Again since when has rarity had any bearing on prices? It is a demand led scene. Edited August 11, 2017 by chalky 4

Garswood Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Since when has Dorothy Morrison been an auction item, if you dig around , you could pick one up at least £50 cheaper
dean jj Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Prices might be more 'realistic' because its the beginning of the school holidays and people are away. I've done OK on auctions at Xmas as well with people rightly concentrating on family rather than musty and dusty records...unlike anti-social swines like me. Edited August 12, 2017 by dean jj

Fact is though, on a UK label, it does not appeal too much to collectors of US imports. I know the vinyl is 22 carat but it's hard to juggle UK and US collections so I guess we come down on one side of the fence or the other in the main. Millionaires is flavour of the month on the circuit, an overlooked record that now has it's five minutes of fame - there'll be another one like this along shortly... 1

Bo Diddley Posted August 12, 2017 Author Posted August 12, 2017 I always have a smile whenever I see a copy of the Millionaires. I bought mine in the queue waiting to go into Wigan. After we had looked through the lad's records, he opened up his leather trench coat to ask if we wanted to buy a hairdryer that he had stuffed in there! Bizarre times and not much need for a hairdryer these days. 1
