Diggin' Dave Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Diggin Dave 45s List - March 2019 Finally managed to complete a sales list after a couple of months of intense twin antics. As always it's an across the board list with some sought after records paired with some obscure, unknown stuff. SHIPPING is €8 to anywhere in the world for any number of records from the list. Int'l signed for shipping is €14. Full list with sound and photos can be found here: https://mailchi.mp/fc0e1254867d/1nc6s8682q-2290121 Johnny Guitar Watson – Wait a minute baby / So fine – Anchor 501 Popcorn R&B anthem that’s very sought after on the Highland label, but this first label press really is rare as hen’s teeth. A lot of collectors might not even be aware of its existence. Some marks on surface but plays strong. Visual grade: VG €600 Billy “Country Boy” Young – I’m in love Pt I/II – Joy-Ja 248 A late highlight from a career spanning from the doo-wop era to the disco times. Cool modern mover that has become very sought after lately. Visual grade: VG+ €250 Vera Longus – Love looks so good on you / Again – Dery 2002 Completely unknown private synthy oddball disco stepper (or whatever you want to call it). In any case this has some hypnotic power that keeps drawing me back to playing it again. Visual grade: Strong VG €250 Jimmy Barnes – If by any chance / Maybe never – Sue 771 Super soulful mid-tempo popcorn. Nice clean copy. Visual grade: EX €250 Lela Martin – You can’t have your cake / Shy guy – Melatone 401 Sixties northern stomper in excellent condition. Visual grade: EX €250 Reunion – When the well runs dry / A brighter day – Reunion 8103-18A-2744 Funky modern dancer that’s still widely unknown although an alternate, slower version was comped by Tramp a couple of years ago. A really nice one to play out. Only letting this go cause it’s a spare. Visual grade: EX €250 James Reed – I wanna know / Tin pan alley – Rhythm 1775 Extremely rare 50s Bay Area blues 45. Never released on 78 rpm format Visual grade: M- €200 Lula Reed – Puddentane / I got a notion – Federal 45-12416 Classic R&B dancer. Very clean copy. Visual grade: EX to M- €160 The Singing Principal – Woman’s lib / Thank you baby – Flick 0050 Pre-#metoo funk 45 that was immortalized in Shadow and Cut Chemist’s Brainfreeze mix. Sweet soul flip plays with a bit of background noise. Visual grade: VG+ €150 The Marvelows – Your little sister/ The shim sham – ABC-Paramount 45-10708 A staple on both the soul and popcorn scene and a record I’ve always had a soft spot for. Super clean copy. Visual grade: M- €150 The Avengers – Strange faces / Softly (I say to you) – American 101 Last release from this short-lived Bakersfield, CA outfit. Really cool psych influenced sound, moving away from the rawer garage stuff from earlier releases. Visual grade: VG to VG+, warp NAP €120 Alan Bruce – I feel better / Where do we go from here – Gait 1443 New York mid-tempo soul 45 on this rare pre-Garrison first press. Visual grade: VG+ €100 Frank William’s Rocketeers – You got to be a man / The Spanish fly – Bra 2369 1967 Miami funk 45. A small quantity was pressed by Deep City on the Bra label to supply to the Islands market. Very few copies have surfaced since. Visual grade: VG €100 Quiet Fire – Lost (Without your love) / Your kind of love – Hit Machine 3977 Sweet 70s soul. Has a small but short warp which is slightly audible in the horn section during into. Plays perfectly after that. Visual grade: Strong VG+, short warp €80 Spencer Jackson Family – Bring back peace to the world Pt I/II – Scarab 002 Spiritual gospel mover with a great a cappella intro. Pristine copy. Visual grade: M- €80 Delores Ware – Strange / Falling in love – Sharon 501 DJ Copy Often overlooked but cool New Breed R&B dancer. Some surface marks but a very strong pressing and plays well. Visual grade: VG €70 Joe Fossett – I remember / Happy birthday mama – Jar-Val 7801 Rare silky modern soul ballad. One of the more overlooked ones on the label. Visual grade: EX €70 Rhetta Hughes – You’re doing with her when it should be me / Gimme some of yours I’ll give you some of mine – Tetragrammaton 1505 Crossover monster with the trademark Mike Terry production. Visual grade: VG to VG+ €55 The Natural Resource – Hey foxy lady / Hold back the dawn – Doré 909 Sweet cali ballad backed up with a mid-tempo popcorn mover. Visual grade: M- €55 Maxine Harris – It’s a lonesome old town / Now or never – Major 101 True mid-tempo Belgian popcorn style back beat topped with a moody big voice. Beautiful record on the rare local release before R-Dell Visual grade: VG- €50 The Versitiles – Love me / Don’t go – Amaker 417 Nice one from 1962, stands on the crossroads between doo wop and deep soul. Not the cleanest copy but priced accordingly. Visual grade: G €50 Marvin Sease – Looking for something for nothing / Thankful for this life – Double M 103 Visual grade: Strong VG+ €45 Gidian – Try me out / There isn’t anything – Columbia 7826 Visual grade: VG €40 Eddie Bo – Check your bucket Pt I/II – Bo-Sound 5551 DJ Copy Visual grade: M- €40 Jackie Wilson – Shake a leg / It’s all over – Brunswick 55504 Visual grade: Strong VG+ €40 Freddie Waters – Nobody can love me the way you do / Love is a strange thing – Ref-O-Ree 734 Visual grade: EX to M- €40 Len Mondell – You left your mark on me / That’s what girls are made of – Smash 1836 DJ Copy Visual grade: VG+ €35 Marion Black – Who knows / Go on fool – Capsoul 20 Visual grade: M- €35 Doug Phillips and The New Concepts – You really know how to hurt a guy / In and out of my life – Ray-Phi 102 Rare first label Belgian popcorn. Styrene pressing which is audible during first part of the track. Visual grade: VG+ to EX €30 The Cyclones – Say what? / Give me love – Festival 45-25003 Visual grade: VG €30 Hermon and The Rockin Tonics – Been so long / Georgia grind – Royal 2871-47 Visual grade: VG- €25 J.B. Bingham – Peek-a-boo / Same – Warner Brothers 7775 DJ Copy Visual grade: VG €20 Edited March 25, 2019 by Diggin' Dave
