Frankie Zhivago Young - Somebody stole my love - Ultra / VG+ / £400 (Classic! A truly unique masterpiece. Has Part 2 label on both sides but plays what it should, that is vocal backed with instrumental. Vinyl looks clean but run out groove plays with light crackles.)

Hiram & Direct - Turn it around / Love flight - Hirome / EX / £100 (One of my all-time faves, such a beautiful two stepper out of the Tantus, Detroit studio. Flip is good too, a modern dancer that was later the b-side on the Direct Pressure “Let me love you” 45. Hiram & Direct used to be super rare until copies turned up, the Direct Pressure cheap and could be bought from Craig Moerer and others who had big stock. Now that one is rare and quite expensive, ah the joys of record collecting. “Love flight” side has small stain from removed sticker.)
