DYNELLS -  LET ME PROVE THAT I LOVE YOU/SUMMERTIME GROOVE - BLUEBERRY RECORDS ISSUE- E+ £160.00 SOLD

ISSUE COPY OF THIS SUBLIME SLICE OF CROSSOVER HEAVEN OUT OF NEW JERSEY; FIRST, LOCAL RELEASE BEFORE ATCO’S DOUBLE HEADER. FEMME SOUL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER FROM 1968 & IN ALMOST MINT CONDITION WITH JUST THE FAINTEST OF STORAGE WEAR SHOWING ON THE VINYL; LABELS ARE FLAWLESS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

 

LITTLE CHARLES & THE SIDEWINDERS -  TALKIN’ ABOUT YOU, BABE/A TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE - DECCA PINK PROMO- VG++ £175.00 ***REDUCED TO £160 SOLD

THUMPING, BRASS DRIVEN NORTHERN SOUL CLASSIC FROM 1967 ON A DECCA PINK PROMO. DANCE FLOOR DYNAMITE OUT OF NEW YORK THAT POUNDS ALONG. VINYL ON THIS SHOWS A FEW TINY STORAGE MARKS AND IS EXCELLENT - ALMOST MINT; COMES IN A DECCA COMPANY SLEEVE, THAT’S SPLIT DOWN EITHER SIDE…..THE TITLE & ARTIST HAVE BEEN CROSSED OUT (INEXPLICABLY!) ON THE ‘TALKIN’ SIDE, AS HAS THE ‘PROMO’ TYPE ON BOTH SIDES; HENCE THE BARGAIN PRICE. CLASSY BIG CITY SOUL

 

FOURTH DAY -  YOU TURN ME ON/ON MY WAY UP - DT RECORDS - E+ £175.00 SOLD

GIANT MODERN SOUL 2 - SIDER FROM DETROIT’S DT RECORDS.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VERSION OF THE SAME INSTRUMENTATION  USED ON EMANUEL LASKEY & CLYDE MILTON’S “I’D RATHER LEAVE ON MY FEET,” AS WELL AS BOTH TRACKS BEING COVERED BY THE MAGNIFICENTS ON THE SAME LABEL. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS THE BEST VERSION (I’M SURE EVERYONE HAS THEIR PREFERENCE!) YOU TURN ME ON IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING - VOCALS, MUSICIANS, PRODUCTION. THE VINYL ON THIS IS MINT MINUS ON BOTH SIDES; ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AS A WHISTLE; I’VE LISTED IT AT E+ DUE TO THE AGE WEAR AND DISCOLOURING ON THE LABEL. GIGANTIC RECORD

 

BACK BAY BREW -  IS IT FOR REAL - (GIRL IT’S YOU/IT’S ALL OVER/IS IT FOR REAL E.P) - BACK BAY BREW - VG+ £225.00** REDUCED TO £175.00

MID 70’S JAZZY MODERN SOUL RARITY OUT OF MILWAUKEE. HARD TO FIND PRIVATE RELEASE E.P ; “IS IT FOR REAL” HAS BEEN A SPIN FOR IAN WRIGHT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS (I FIRST HEARD IT AT MOS FROM IAN, THINKING THE NAME WAS A COVER UP) WITH THE SORT OF MODERN SOUL/JAZZ FUSION APPEAL THAT RECORDS LIKE THOMAS EAST, PATRICK GAMMON & JESUS ALVAREZ HAVE MADE POPULAR ON THE MODERN SCENE.  THIS IS STILL A RELATIVE UNKNOWN WITH SOME SERIOUS POTENTIAL AND IS STILL PRETTY ELUSIVE IN ANY CONDITION. THERE’S A FEW MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF BOTH SIDES AND THE LABEL IS TEA/COFFEE STAINED, BUT PLAYS THROUGH EXCELLENT. HARD TO FIND MODERN MAGIC

 

RAY MUNNINGS -  FUNKY NASSAU/JUMP IN THE WATER - UK TAMMI DEMO - E+  £80.00

AS CLOSE TO MINT- AS YOU COULD GET, THE A SIDE IS A CLASSIC FUNK MASTERPIECE FROM 1979. THE FLIP WAS OVERLOOKED FOR SOME TIME, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE 12” BEING BETTER KNOWN AND THE LONG INSTRUMENTAL ON THE EXTENDED RELEASE. THE 7” KICKS IN STRAIGHT AWAY WITH A BLISTERING, SOCIALLY AWARE FUNK MONSTER. PERFECT LABELS AND VINYL ON THIS COPY; BARGAIN PRICE FOR SOME BLISTERING FUNK

 

MARK SEVEN UNLTD. - TOUCH OF GOODBYE/I’M IN LOVE WITH MY NEIGHBOR’S WIFE - ABBOTT RECORDS - E+  £80.00

CLASSY EARLY 70’S CROSSOVER & FUNK OUT OF L.A. THE A SIDE’S SCREAMING VOCAL PUT’S ME IN MIND OF TRYONE BARKLEY’S DAKAR RELEASES WITH THE POWERFUL BRASS PRODUCTION ACCOMPANYING THE POWERFUL VOCALS. THE FLIP (WHICH ISN’T AVAILABLE ON THE DEMO COPY IS TOP OF THE RANGE, SOULFUL FUNK OR FUNKY SOUL DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE. CLASS AND STILL NOT TOO WELL KNOWN. THE A SIDE HAS A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL MARKS; THE “TOUCH OF GOODBYE” SIDE IS ALMOST MINT. GREAT COPY.
