Mark Bluford – This is me Pt I/II – The Preservation Project Master Series 003

I’ll be helping out with distribution for the next three Preservation Project releases so have a handful of copies available of the third installment in the Masters Series. It’s a sick slice of 70s psychedelic Bay Area deep funk with one of the heaviest drum breaks no one has heard in 50 years.

Limited edition of 300 pressed. I have the only 20 customs cleared copies for EU so don’t sleep!

Visual grade: M-

€30

 

George Smith – Pretty little girl / Born again – Laurie 3263

Remarkably clean copy of this popcorn grail. Demo only and definitely one of the rarer ones on the label.

Visual grade: M-

€600

 

Sons of The Kingdom – This is my story / Changed those chains – Soul Messengers 45-1033

Israel only issue crossover dancer by the Black Hebrew outfit from Chicago. Two cool sides and ditto pic sleeve.

Visual grade: VG+

€400

 

Johnny James – I’m addicted to your love / Ali shuffle – Black paint & Co.

Bay area funk double-sider. Addicted side is the reason why this is so sought after but Ali Shuffle is an up-tempo funk mover that’s worth checking out a well

Visual grade: VG+ to EX

€350

 

Rainbow – Do what you wanna / Buffalo soldier – Wilmington House 1

Elusive instrumental funk beast from Dayton, OH

Visual grade: VG+

€350

 

The Black Eyed Peas – Smallest man alive / Go thru the motions – Ultra-City 70-317

Detroit double sider in beautiful condition. ‘Go thru the motions’ side has always been somewhat overlooked but I personally like it even more than the classic flip.

Visual grade: M-, minor warp

€250

 

James Dee & A Piece Of The Action & The Primettes – Jealous over love / My pride – Enrica 1020

Heart-wrenching slab of sweet/deep soul which I will soon regret selling.

Visual grade: EX

€200

 

Slim Line – Let your conscience be your guide / Conscience – Doré 958

Modern stepper in perfect condition.

Visual grade: M-

€160

 

Alex Scorrier – The song of Delilah / Low water – Vogue 064

Ultra rare 45 only stuff by Placebo’s sax player. Has an area of heat warping that’s barely visible with the naked eye that produces a swoosh and ever so slightly affects play during the first bars. Still a strong copy of a record that never turns up. 

Visual grade: VG+, heat warp

€150

 

The Cynics – You’re a better man than I / Train kept a-rollin’ – The Bear

Private Texas garage psych with an in your face fuzzed out flip.

Visual grade: VG to VG+

€125

 

Joyce Williams – The first thing I do in the morning / Smilin’ – Act IV 101

Quality sister funk that plays well above grade.

Visual grade: VG, medium storage warp

€120

 

Edward Hamilton & The Natural Looks – My darling baby / Willing mind – Mary Jane 1010

Uplifting mid-tempo Detroit magic. Ballad flip looks G+ and plays with more noise.

Visual grade: VG

€100

 

Little Willie John – I’m shakin’ / Person to person – King 45-5823

1963 version with the drum overdubs. A lot of marks but benefits from a strong and dynamic press which still makes this copy enjoyable.

Visual grade: G+

€70

 

Myron Cephas – It’s your life Pt I/II – Mil-Smi 1036

Looks clean apart from one small area with paper brushing NAP.

Visual grade: VG+, minor storage warp

€60

 

The Natural Resources – Hold back the dawn / Hey foxy lady – Doré 909

Atmospheric soul with popcorn appeal and a sweet soul flip.

Super obscure organ mod funk grooves 

Visual grade: VG to VG+

€55

 

The Dynasonics – You got it / Soul bug – Dynamics 1014

Semi-known instrumental Detroit scorcher that takes no prisoners.

Visual grade: M-

Rita Paul – Lovem ‘n leavem lover / Shiga, diga, ding, boom – Protone 106

Scarce cabaret popcorn rockerish kind of thing from one of the most famous German Schlager singers in the 50s.

Visual grade: VG-

€40

 

The Fabulous Kays – Take me back / It’s too late – Jardin 3001

Audible warp during intro but no heat damage or anything so should be easy to flatten. Surface looks super clean. Priced to fly out.

Visual grade: M-, storage warp

€20
