JOHN GARY WILLIAMS: The Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy * STAX, VG++, 75.- Euro, sold
A record everybody can relate to in these crazy times and a soulful 70's masterpiece, that simply works from bar one to the fade-out. A shiny clean copy with only the faintest surface blemishes, that do not affect the superb playback at all.
LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro
Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979. Top side is on the rare LP by Lee McDonald as well, but the 7" provides a different mix compared to the LP-take. Flip it over for a beautiful slow jam.
BIG MAYBELLE: Quittin' Time / I Can't Wait Any Longer * ROJAC, VG, small edge chip, dnap, 75.- Euro
Hard hitting uptempo R&B soul by Big Maybelle, that never fails to get the dancers up. Flip it over for a super soulful midtempo side. This copy has numerous marks on either side, but plays like a champ.

Excellent Philly 70's soul two sider with one side being a great upbeat dancer while the flip offers a sophisticated group ballad. Recorded at Sigma sound with some involvment by Bunny Sigler.

Excellent 1979 Modern Soul dancer by a country boy going by the name Jimmy Presley Elledge coming from the pen of Terry Woodford and George Soule and it was recorded at Muscle Shoals. Who said white boys can't sing?
JIMMY DEWS: Are You Ready * DEWS, VG+, small label tear, 50.- Euro, sold
Unknown, charming 60's dancer with some Northern appeal. The rceord has a discogs entry, but no copies are on offer or have been ever sold on ebay or discogs, so I assume it's rare. The vinyl has a larger visible mark on the uptempo side, but plays without any issues; soundquality is ex!
BILLY McGREGOR: The Great Creation / It's My Turn Now * MELLOTONE, VG++, 40.- Euro, sold
Underplayed Chicago 60's soul dancer backed up by a mindblowing good deep soul tune, actually the better side in my humble opinion. Check the soundbytes!

Two excellent westcoast 60's sides. "Prove It" is a nice, sparse dancer, flip it over for an overlooked soulful midtempo gem. Light marks on vinyl, plays great!
THE INTRIGUES: I'm Gonna Love You * YEW, VG++, 30.- Euro, sold
The second 45 by the Intrigues on Yew records out of New York, after the big success they had with "In A Moment". And this one is way better and as it went nowhere on the charts, way harder to find as well.
THE GASLIGHT: I Can Tell A Lie / Here's Missing You * GRAND JUNCTION, VG+/VG, 25.- Euro
Totally great Detroit sweet soul two sider on Marvin Figgins Grand Junction label. This is the same group as Butch & The Newports, who had a collectable record on Black Rock records. Most prominent member of the Gaslight was Oliver Cheatham, who later scored a world wide hit with "Get Down Saturday Night".
SAM DEES: I'm So Very Glad / Just Out Of My Reach * ATLANTIC, M-, 20.- Euro, sold
"I'm So Glad" is an underrated dancer from the man. It was recorded during the "Show Must Go On"-sessions and didn't found it's way onto the legendary LP. Needless to say, that "Just Out Of My Reach" is a deep soul ballad of immense proportions.
BOBBY BENNETT: New York/ Baby, Try Me * CBS, Made in France, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve;: VG++, 20.- Euro
Two excellent and hard hitting 60's soul dancers back to back. This underrated 45 came out on Phil-LA-Of-Soul in the US, this is the extra clean french issue with a nice looking art sleeve.
EDDY GILES: Losin' Boy * MURCO, M-/VG+, some label damage, 20.- Euro, sold
Excellent midtempo soul from 1967, recorded in Tyler/Texas, just across the border to Louisiana. "Losin' Boy" was Eddy Giles first secular record and it sold well down south for an independent release. Nor surprise as it's a distinctive, catchy song with Eddy in top form. Extra clean copy on the "Losin Boy"-side, flipside has mild marks, but plkays clean.
BILLY CEE: Don't Matter To Me * GSF, VG++ to M-, 20.- Euro, sold
Recorded in Jackson Mississipi's Malaco studios and released on GSF records, one of my favourite 70's soul labels. Superb Modern Soul with a catchy melody, a fine beat and extraordinary soulful vocals. What more do you need?
CHARMELS: Lovin' Feeling * VOLT, promo, VG+, 20.- Euro, sold
Isaac Hayer and David Porter produced cover of the Righteous Brothers smash "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling". The Charmels emerged from The Dixiebelles, who recorded a number of good 45s on Sound Stage 7 and Monument.
CHRIS CLARK: I Love You * V.I.P., VG+, drill hole in lbl, 20.- Euro
1967 Marvin Gaye production for the talented Chris Clark. This is a great dancer and an underrated disc on the extensive Motown catalogue. Listen carefully, Marvin is on background vocals here as well or is my mind playing tricks on me?
THE IMAGINATIONS: I Love You More (Than Anyone) * BACON FAT, VG++, almost M-, 20.- Euro
Excellent midtempo group soul shuffler with a small combo arrangement; just drums bass, guitar and the mindblowing harmonies of The Imaginations. I'm sure these guys where big fans of the Impressions.
TWO TONS OF LOVE: Brown And Beautiful / It's A Bad Situation In A Beautiful Place * KAPP, M-, 20.- Euro, sold

Two truly amzing sides by maybe the longest exsiting group of all time; they are still around and know how to mesmerize an audience. This record was recorded in Memphis on Chip Moman's AGP output in 1968 and no matter what side youn put the needle on, you get phenomenal group soul from the top shelf.
GLORIA TAYLOR: Grounded * SILVER FOX, M-, 15.- Euro, sold
Banging funky soul by Gloria Taylor, who had a number of great records including her now indemand 70's outings on Selector Sound. "Grounded" is the same song as Belita Woods indemand Moira recording, but Gloria's version is a bit more edgy to my ears and if this isn't enough, it's also 10 times cheaper.
THE MALIBUS: Two At A Time / I Had A Dream * SURE-SHOT, VG+, 20.- Euro
Two great 60's group soul sides back to back on one of Don Robey's legendary Texas labels. Don Robey was a notorious gangster, who used his labels to white wash his funny money and even though he got writing credits on almost every record he released (and he released plenty), he wasn't able to play an instrument or read music.
