Carl Carlton – I can feel it / You’ve got so much – Back Beat 617

Probably needs no introduction. All-time northern dance floor packer.

Russ Spooner with The Sheep Herders – We got that / The truth – Nottingham Disc Co 848

Rare Carolina northern with a garage edge.

€120

 

Opus VII – Love the one you’re with / Dreams – GWS 3988

Feel good Carolina crossover in great nick.

Visual grade: M-

€120

 

Lonnie Hewitt – China girl / Eenie meenie mynie (and moe) – Wee 102

Second outing on his own label and definitely not the easiest to find. Soundfile of the flip can be found on YT but ‘China girl’ is the side for me. Surface marks but plays superb.

Visual grade: VG

€120

 

Little Willie John – It only hurts a little while / Rock love – King 45-5870 DJ Copy

Strong personal fave on a beautiful white demo.

Visual grade: M-, storage warp

Gritty Detroit funk in clean condition.

Visual grade: M-, storage warp NAP

New Emage – Either you will or you won’t / Philadelphia – Virtue 7183

Modern Philly ballad with a pretty sick drum computer flip.

Visual grade: EX

€80

 

I-20 Connection – Redd hot / Make love song – I-20 Blvd. 999

Rare and killer boogie that’s a tad more overlooked than their outing on Thriller. This copy looks like it may have spent a large part of its life outside of a sleeve.

Visual grade: G

€75

 

Maxine Womack – Don’t touch me / Tweet, tweet, tweet – Tack 840

Quality deep soul cut that’s very hard to find on this label
