Bo Diddley Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Cautions No Other Way / Poor Loser Shrine: SR 115 (45s) SHRINE TIME! This filed-forever 45 find, was so very nearly a Manship Mint this Christmas because it was unplayed, with two perfect "Electric Blue labels and a full blooded red flame (see those spectacular fade-free scans) The vinyl reveals a few very mild sleeve brush hairlines under strong light nothing . Possibly caused when the hand-applied labels were stuck on. Those two iconic labels gleam like they were stuck on yesterday, vinyl plays utterly immaculate MINT absolutely no DJ wear here.. Top side " No Other Way" is a relentless, rapid fire, real-deal Northern Soul gymnastic triggering proper-stomper, with CLASS! Tight vocals, tidal-wave horns, robust lip-curled-up lead vocal, silky vocal group backup, runaway-track rhythms that drive you to the dance-floor, to relive those moves that drew so much attention back in the day.. it's amazing what records of this standing can rekindle into those tired limbs and hanging heart.. The flipside "Poor Loser" I played from my DJ box a few years back the Soul Essence's Deep Room.. is perhaps one of the most sublime 60's Sweet Soul recordings of all time... listen and weep! Condition Report As mention above this 45 is in filed for a lifetime condition. Flawless except for a few minuscule feeble paper hairlines from sitting on a shelf for over 50 years.... £1,110.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Blues & Soul Blues And Soul issue 4 / # 4 January 4 Contempo: 4 (MAG) # 4 in this most collectable series in Stevie Wonder image on the cover.. Open for the facing page 3 is a bio AL KENT with John Abbey incredulous that Al Kent's "You've Got To Pay The Price" remains unissued in the UK (Polydor put that oversight right, almost immediately) . But what a great bio on Al Kent (Al Hamilton) covering his early Chicago recordings with his two brothers Bob Hamilton & Ronnie Savoy (Hamilton). Next Bio and full page picture is Sam Baker. Followed by as 3 page review of the 1968 "Soul Explosion" European tour featuring Sam & Dave's Baznd backing proceedings as Sam Baker, Linda Carr, Lee Dorsey, Little Charles, Arthur Conley, Sam & Dave 3,000 Soul fans apparently attended this November 12th concert in East Ham .. ?? venue was not noted ISLAND SKA charts. NEW SOUL 45 RELEASE SHEET Lee Dorsey pic and short review., Condition Report Fine clean condition, no writing, no tears no flaw, very light crease front cover. £76.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Huns Review featuring The Soul Brothers Don't Make Me Love You / Danger Zone Sorro: 967 (45s) Yellow fever strikes again, on this Pennsylvania Northern Soul monster that has been proving so difficult to nail in recent times. DJ created demand wiped it completely off Northern Soul collectors map.. Any copies that may have been around 5-10-15 years ago are now safely incarcerated in DJ boxes and the best collections over Europe. Little wonder because the intro to this heralded tune is a wake up call for dance-floor... aerial trumpeting signals an urgent, near breathless lead vocal, at times gasping in desperation but those horns drive him on, to beg "Don't Make Me Love You" as surely he'll die after all see she put him through before... Great story line, will he weaken? We never find out, but we do know he was "Stripped of his Heart, and stripped of his Soul" .. I think he resisted the temptation of giving her a second chance.. But can you resist? There may well be no second chance, especially in near perfect condition throughout.. Condition Report Impeccable vinyl surfaces, hardly a blemish under strong light and certainly no marks to report on this play perfect disc. Both labels as you can see are spanking clean "Mellow Yellow" a real beauty. £622.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Patty Stokes Is It True / Good Girl (Can You Be) Mir-A-Don: 1005 (45s) Since the Golden Years of Wigan Casino to today's vibrant scene, the sands of Northern Soul's musical tastes have shifted so many times. Ending up in today's diet of the well trodden paths of NS Classics, a flirt with Funk, Beat Ballad Heaven making an occasional but very welcome appearance in the more cultured DJ sets. To the super-Soulful crossover grooves saturated in emotion and class in equal amounts.. The reason I say this, here's a double-delight of Northern Soul I first heard in circa 1977 when I found a handful of Mir-A-Don 45s about 7 different 45's a few copies of each. But this one stood out as being a different label colour and by a girl at the time I'd never heard of.. Just imagine my delight when it turned out to be classic style Northern Soul.. "Good Girl (Can You Be)" was an unknown and a killer. I considered dead-right for Wigan Casino was my first thought, so I rang Richard Searling and played him it down the phone. Sounded absolutely brilliant, whether he bought a copy, I can't remember; but Soul Sam certainly did. Closely watching his reactions as he played it the barometer for the asking price. His hands started twitch and twiddle the controls of the record player (good sign), then his shoulders started to move (good sign), then I got the ultimate vote of YES! When Soul Sam's hips started wriggle ever so slightly...(the best sign) After that Soul Sam Dance, his poker face was useless, when he lifted the record off the decks and pronounced "Not Bad" and casually threw the record of a pile of "Maybe's". He of cause went home with a copy, at a "Not Bad" price.. But through this journey not once, did I or anyone else playing the disc notice the utterly breathtaking journey into Northern Soul Crossover that "Is It Me" deliveres.. not until after the millennium did those "shifting sands" start to move towards superior mid-paced Soulful dancers like "Is It True", today it's "Good Girl" that nobody seems to mention or play.. For me personally, "Is It True" today is a huge part of my DJ set, it is without question one of the ultimate Sister mid-tempo grooves of the time.. and seems to be getting bigger and bigger by the day.. Without exception when I drop it, somebody will come to the stage and ask "what is this...?" Click the soundfile and take a breath, Patty Stokes is about to hit you with impeccable Northern Soul Crossover, followed by a top-drawer, classic style Northern Soul girl dancer, backed beautifully by "The Ascots" harmonies.. this too is a fantastic tune that may yet have it's day.. when the sands shift back the quality Northern Soul 45s that haven't been played to death. Condition Report Multiple light hairlines.. As you will hear NOT affecting play on either side. Both labels have light storage ring rub, but totally clean; no X's, writing, stickers, tears or stains.. £411.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Albert Washington A Case Of The Blues / One More Chance Rye: 954 (45s) We have only ever listed Cincinnati Sizzler once before, since then demand has sky-rocketed on the back of the few lucky DJ owners who have championed it's persuasive raw qualities that command you to dance.. Taking over from where his Northern Soul Monster "I'm Your Man" left off starting to cram the dance-floors and rattle a few ceilings around the Manchester area. Every note and snarl as good as "I'm Your Man" but 50 times rarer. We are anticipating big things from this 45 in the very near future.. there's a buzz on this tune right now... and that buzz is gonna build into a deafening drone of wanting.. The rap intro is bulldozed by a deluge of horns that Albert's roaring vocal is so very capable of riding.. those rolling bursts of brass. Gravel-coated tonsils spout a case for the Blues.. oh and how.. Looking for a showstopping slab of Northern Soul? At this moment "A Case Of The Blues" is the most compelling piece of R&B you could ever drop the arm on... and it's only gonna get BIGGER!!! Condition Report Dare we say MINT, it is as close as it gets for a played record, with toytally unblemished vinyl, two yellow labels that only reveal the mildest signs of it's nearing 50 year age.. £335.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Masqueraders Do You Love Me Baby / Sweet Lovin' Woman Wand: 1172 DJ (45s) A NS floor-filler and a heart-breaker on one very elusive disc!! This gargantuan vocal group dancer, a Northern Soul classic from one of the heroes of our scene. This is of course currently their most-wanted 45.. a dancefloor detonator, backed up with a perfectly executed Memphis Deep Soul ballad showcasing why this group are universally considered one of the greatest Soul teams ever to perform.. "Do You Love Me Baby" encompasses all their varied vocal tones and pitches, stirring up into a wall of harmony with Soulful snarls accentuating the high points, and rich bass adding depth and Soul. This is truly a masterclass in vocal-group dance soul.. As is the sublime cocktail of Memphis Deep Soul blended with Chicago style harmonies.. the result is a moving ballad of pure class.. Putting this level in the talent in a studio with the great Chips Moman there can only be one result - Soul Heaven which ever side you drop the stylus on.. Condition Report lead dance side has fine clean vinyl some fine hairlines revealed under strong light, no clicks or hiss, plays clean, just the very occasional inevitable styrene "fuzz" that does not distract in the least, near perfect playback (listen to the soundfile and judge). Promo labels light sticker removal scar top right/hand on label (see scan) flipside label is flawless. WHAT A RECORD!! WHAT A GROUP!! £961.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Gwen Owens Just Say You're Wanted ( And Needed ) / Still True To You Velgo: VO 002 (45s) Not only one of the biggest trophies possible to lift in the Northern Soul arena.. This is the best condition copy I've ever seen.. FLAWLESS Mint minus throughout! See live video on You Tube both sides play pristine.. strong sound, beautiful labels NO Skips Condition Report I've never witnessed a copy so gloriously unblemished... and most likely never will again.<br /> <br /> Please NOTE this 45 is NOT advised to be played cheap record players with STRAIGHT ARMS, in some cases it may cause a skip, if you only have STANTON or similar record decks with straight arms we would suggest you do not bid, as this disc like many 60's records does not respond well to straight arms and low quality stylus & cartridges. This 45 was recorded on a Technics deck & ortofon cartridge and stylus as you can hear it PLAYS PERFECT! £4,250.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen Ken Parker We Must Be In Love / Wish I Could Make you Mine A&M : AMS 7092 (45s) When A-list modern soul DJ's start murmurings of " have you heard that Ken Parker on A&M?" .. the internet goes dry over-night of any copies that may have been "floating" in unknown-limbo, especially as recently it's started to appear on a few play lists... then we discover the flipside is equally captivating..the hunt for a clean copy of the 45 that's about to spring forth and shake up those lazy Sundays when passed over quality comes to life.. So when one of my favourite rare-soul DJ's drops the arm on it, in became indelible in my mind, every day I dug through unprocessed stock in the warehouse i hope I fall upon a copy, as I could wait to hear it again. Well despite my flaking brain cells my persistence paid off.. I wasn't disappointment, "Plumby's" taste has always been impeccable and both sides lit up my senses. So why not get in on the ground-floor, as this 45 ain't no easy find; both sides ripple with that exclusive potential that starts with a murmur, but ends in that all too familiar scream.. "I Shudda Bought It When It Was Around for 1/2 that price..!!" Click the soundfile two unleash to delicately delicious Soul British creations Condition Report Almost Mint, couple of mild surface hairlines on the vinyl, plays perfect. Both labels are flawless, housed in it's birth-sleeve I must have bought it in, sometime during the 70's. £186.00 Sorry, this auction has ended. 25/10/2017 18:00 Listen © 2017 John Manship Records.

Ended at £497 and went 8mins past the hour Hi, Thanks for adding the finish result. I didn't get to post the results until about 6.30. I understand that if someone wins the auction and pay's immediately (via the website?) the item disappears from the list of results. This happened with the Lou Ragland last week. Cheers 1
Girdwoodinc Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Cheers, did notice it happened last week as well but couldn't remember which record it was
Bruv Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Blimey, this has come round quick again. Thanks for posting Bo Diddley 1
Tobytyke Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 What happened to Doris Troy British Cameo Parkway Demo? or am I looking in the wrong place. 1
Lionelonthevinyl Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Wow....deep pockets for Gwen Owens, but what a record!!! Very interesting on the condition report about not playing it with a straight arm record player...thank you for taking over posting jm,s auction results...kind regards...Rob 1

B-side is ok though. Certainly not worth the price it went for. According to Discogs this isn't Ken Parker but infact Slim Smith on A-side and Alton Ellis on B-side. Don't know how true that is but it's definitely too different artists on both sides. 4
Stanley Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 yes i know what you mean , but people are paying 1000 pds plus for records that are not rare , so pro rata you would expect mega rare to go for mega money....but what do i know ?or indeed any of us . you just pays what your happy with to get your want or fix. 1
Popular Post jimmy clitheroe Posted October 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) What’s all that Bull shite about record players with straight arms are crap?? I have a linn deck which has a straight linn arm? Don’t get that at all. There’s loads of top end hi-fi decks with straight arms and a Technics 1200 fitted with a Orfoton cartridge is hardly earth shattering quality...Rant over😡 Edited October 25, 2017 by jimmy clitheroe 5
Pete S Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 I've a Cautions in the same nick if anyone wants one a bit cheaper

Pretty farcical if such a tenth-rate reggae double sider takes preference over the hundreds of superior JA vocal 45’s that could have been picked, I love both those artists but wouldn’t bother even picking that up for a fiver. A-side came out on all-tone and is Slim Smith. Edited October 26, 2017 by Sutty
Soul-slider Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Huns' Review £622!! That's pleasing, I've had it twice, once for 60p from a car boot in Wisbech and then a minter from ebay for £50. Traded the car boot one for £60 with my old mate Perry Crosby and missed it so bought the one on ebay which I still have. Great record, but £600+!!!! Edited October 26, 2017 by Soul-Slider
