The Diplomats are one of those groups that we seem to forget despite recording for a number of labels including Wand, Minit, Arock, Fat Back etc. For me one of their best was cut for Dynamo and is fast becoming a want for group collectors with a copy going through Ebay at over £60 recently, but here its on offer as a mint unplayed copy

The Diplomats – I got the kind of love – Dynamo £30

Here's a lovely crossover tune from the queen of soul herself Aretha Franklin. Often overlooked and deserves to be heard. Take a listen to the file

If you were asked for a record which has a killer slowie on one side and a great NS track on the other, for under twenty quid is there anything better around than this Chicago goodie and a mint unplayed copy on JM's at £30

COD’s – I’m a good guy / Pretty baby – Kellmac £15

Johnny Bristol cut many a fine tune, and whilst the focus seems to be on his 'Handshake' outing many of his others slip under the radar. Most notably for me is this track cut for Atlantic which deserves a wider audience. His usual smooth silky vocals soar over a catchy mid-tempo groove is just right for today. Here's a lovely white promo for you
Johnny Bristol - Waiting on love - Atlantic WLP £20

OK so this modern stepper is finally getting the recognition it deserves, and being spun by numerous name DJ's on the lock down scene including Mick H. There is one for sale on Discogs at £35 and prices continue to rise on Ebay, the last one I saw going up close to $50 (plus $15 post and 20% tax of course !!). A bonus is the nice crossover flavoured modern uptempo track on the flip. Here's a mint unplayed store stock copy.......

Delegation - Oh Honey / Take me to the sun - Shadybrook £20

Philip Mitchell is an artist with many fine tunes to his name and this one is no different. A laid back slice of southern crossover, vocally effortless and in mint store stock condition at a bargain... £25 on JM's

Philip Mitchell - Oh how I love you - Hi £15

A classic modern tune from Alicia Myers. The vinyl is nice and shiny with one feint radial surface mark which does not affect play at all. Labels are clean, sound quality excellent, in its company sleeve with jukebox tag thrown in. Overall grading would be Ex

Alicia Myers - I wanna thank you - MCA £25
