Visual grade: M-
€250
Soulful Strutters – Just let me know / Soul delight – Strut 101
Largely overlooked release by the guys that gave us ‘Let your feelings go’. This is a top notch ballad in its own right though. Very rarely seen on playlists too, maybe not too well known yet by the sweet soul aficionados?

Billy and The Moonlighters – Little Indian girl / You made me cry – Crystal Ball 101

Alder Ray – My heart is in danger / I need you, baby – Minit 32005
As far as double-siders go this one's up there with the best. A-side is a scrocher that sets any dance floor on fire, flip is a haunting ballad that really grabs you by the neck, especially after a few spins.
Visual grade: M-
€120
Nora Guthrie – Home before dark / Emily’s illness – Mercury 72753 DJ Copy

€120
The Hesitations – Is this the way to treat a girl / Yes I’m ready – GWP 504

€75
Delores Eiler – He won’t love you / Undecided – Aqua-Gem 111-3500
Such a cool record! Heavyweight sister funk. Girls answer to Vehicle by the Ides of March but really wipes the floor with the more known version.
Visual grade: M-
€65

Funky mid-70s rarity. Things really get moving after the switch-up at 1:13

Lori-Ann – Darling say no / Earthquake – Melron 5007
Sixties Philly ballad winner. Actually looks more like an EX but has a couple of pops, likely from the pressing so brought the grade down a notch.
Visual grade: VG+
€45
Spellboun’ – Dance your blues Pt II / Carry on – Instant 3335
Sounds like an afterparty to the more well-known Pt I by Ivan Neville. Super killer downtempo spaced out version

Essential Chicago crossover on the rarer green label.
Visual grade: VG+
€30
