[Soulfulsolutions]

If the high street are advertising Crimbo already, I guess its fair game and this can be classed as a December sales list..... Enjoy!

PM any questions or to reserve, sound files on request.

 

1) Fluffy Falana - My little cottage (by the sea) - Alpha 007 M- £500 SOLD

(Growing in stature year on year, an old Casino favourite that ticks my box)

2) Coasters – Crazy baby – Atco 6379 M- £275

(Perfect Northern outing from this traditionally doo-wop / rock and roll group, proving its quite often the case that big artists catalogues include at least one release with Northern appeal. Smashing stock copy)

3) Bobby Paris – Night owl – Cameo 396 M- £300

(Releases of this iconic track are on the whole vinyl pressings, but here with have the incredibly impressive west coast styrene stock copy, that looks imperious in its rampant red with delicate Cameo brooch logo. A joy to behold and play. Just the feintest hint of feedback on the clear run in and ring wear on the label, otherwise it would be a NM copy)

4) Milton Wright & Terra Shirma Strings – The gallop – Carla 1902 M- £125 SOLD

(Feintest ring wear on this lovely Ollie McLaughlin label)

5) Ohio Players – You don’t mean it – Compass 7015 Ex £70

(Flat but engaging vocals over this funky edged dancer, nice on Compass stock copy, light ring wear)

6) Otis Blackwell – It’s all over me – Epic 10654 WD Ex- £75

(Some light pops in places, still a nice play copy)

7) Velvet Satins – Nothing can compare to you – General American 006 WD M- £300

(Top condition with Nashville and Bell Sound stamped, I am told the rarest demo print for this 45, label printed slightly North!)

Tamiko Jones – I’m spellbound – Golden World 40 WD Ex £200

(Stunning vocals on this catchy Detroit dancer. Light sleeve marks, do not affect play, which is M-)

9) Aquamen – Line and track – Hi-back 109 M- £650 SOLD

(Out and out stomper, of this floor filler, stunning condition too)

10) Anne Heywood – Crook his little finger – Hondo 101 M- £300 SOLD

(Brass laden mid-tempo soul)

11) Blenders – Your love has got me down – Mar-V-Lus 6010 Vg+ £375

(Can’t remember ever seeing a M- copy, must have been a big play on release given that most copies that turn up in lesser condition, perfect for Dj-ing)

12) Trial and Error – Thruway – Ramrod 777 M- £700

(Mid 70s smooth soul, rare 45 and in top condition)

13) Percy Wiggins – It didn’t take much - RCA 8915 WD Ex £125

(Fingernail mark from handling, plays through those wonderful trumpet blasts and strong vocals M-, number penned on label)

14) Don Ray – Born a loser – RCA 9438 YDJ Ex+ £250

(Light label wear, a typical Northern styled dancer from the vast RCA catalogue)

15) Paul Anka – When we get there – RCA 9457 M- £300

(Black stock copies on this label as collectable as anything else on the scene, can’t believe this man’s still going strong and a senior A-lister on the LA circuit)

16) Al Kent – The way you’ve been acting lately – Ric-Tic 123 M- £60 SOLD

(Still to this day the hair stands up on the back of my neck when Al makes that step change from chorus to "Baby the sparkle in your eyes.......")

17) Epitome of Sound – You don’t love me – Sandbag 101 Ex £300 SOLD

(Philly group soul winner, that we never get tired of, stock copy with the uplifted matrix stamp under the label)

18) Kelly Garrett – Love’s the only answer – Smash 2195 WD Ex+ £350

(Powerhouse dancer on another lease of life, but its superb so why shouldn’t it reactivate from time to time. Very feint ink smudge on the label from the printing process)

19) Gloria Lane – Let’s get together / Love of my life – Spotlight 1001 M- Pol £450

(Real “Guy Hennigan” obscurity that saw some action in his Stafford sets. Tidy double sider)

20) Rose Brooks – I’m moanin’ – Soul City 750 WD Ex- £200

(Sticker mark on flip label)

21) Gladys Knight & the Pips – No one could love you more / Take me in your arms and love me – Tamla Motown 864 Green Demo M- £275

(Stunning copy, centre intact and the bonus of 2 dance floor fillers with differing appeal, what’s not to like)

22) Sam Fletcher – I’d think it over – Tollie 9012 WD Ex+ £375 SOLD

(What an intro, dulcet tones again draw’s the listener in, achingly good soul on a lovely white demo, just as a couple of light pops as the run in goes off, can’t see why)

23) Tobi Lark – Happiness is here – Topper 1011 Ex+ £200

(Super track, light label wear from someone trying to rub 2 penned XOL off!)
