                                                             .                                  

TNJ’s            SHE’S NOT READY / I DIDN’T KNOW        NEWARK    M-    £1,000 SOLD
Group soul harmony perfection. Chased on multiple scenes for both sides, and one drop of the needle on either side ushers you into mid-tempo heaven and pure bliss. This is a top drawer, 5 star rarity. 

DORI DEAN        DAVEY BABY / THE NEWS                AMON        M-    £2,000
The mythical Detroit release Amon 815. From 1965, comes one of the most sought after 45s among Detroit collectors. Drenched in the influences of early Tamla Motown, this glorious, female early sweet soul ballad, is arguably one of the best ever to be laid down on vinyl. The flip is a wonderful catchy mid/uppish tempo soul dancer, killer sax break, infectious early RnB tones, group harmonies, with excellent potential to go. Seriously rare with 2, possibly 3 known copies. Labels are in pristine condition with some light marks to vinyl. A lovely near mint copy of this blisteringly rare Detroit soul 45.

FLO BURTON        HUNGARY FOR LOVE                ARISTO        VG+    £300
Rare New York release, a horn driven sister funk that takes no prisoners and keep it tighter than tight. A killer funky edged northern dancer.

CAPRELLS        DEEP LOVE / HEY GIRL                BANO        VG+    £150
Take the Cassadons on Beltone, jazz it up with some early 70’s rifts, gritty vocals and you have this bright, uplifting crossover dancer. A hard one to find.

FALCONS        (I’M A FOOL) I MUST LOVE YOU            BIG WHEEL    M-    £100
Always in demand. Northern classic in super condition.

GEORGE HUGHLY    THAT’S WHY I CRY / YOU’RE MY EVERYTHING    BUDDUH    VG+    £125
Gorgeous crossover with a powerful dancer on the flip which has been totally overlooked by most.

HARVEY & 7 SOUNDS    GLAMOUR GIRL                    CUCA        VG+    £300
Classy, beautiful mid-tempo group rarity. 

DONALD MOORE        I’LL BE YOUR LOVER                DIMOKRASI    VG    £400
Very rare 70’s Cincinnati release. Vinyl has many surface marks but retains gloss with music strong and loud. Labels in nice clean condition.

SAM & KITTY        I’VE GOT SOMETHING GOOD            FOUR BROS    VG    £300
Elusive white promo format (vinyl not styrene). Very Rare. Vinyl has several scratches and marks with labels in clean condition. Music plays clear, loud and strong.

INSPIRATIONS        I MADE A CHANGE / HIP SNAP            GALAXIE        VG+    £750   SOLD
Almost totally unknown and impossibly rare Chicago 45 from 1966 (yes, it’s the Midas group), an old Burnley cover-up. A stunning mid-tempo sweet soul harmony track with an almost totally unknown flip, no RnB here, it’s full on, dead centre male group northern, that has the potential to lite-up dancefloors across the country.

THE CHEQUES        STIX AND STONES / IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW        HEATWAVE    VG+    £300
Super rare up-tempo blue-eyed soul. A few marks and surface scratches on vinyl, but otherwise a nice clean copy with clean labels and nice gloss to vinyl. Great article about the group and label by soul commentator and author Mark Windle over at 'A Nickel & A Nail', check him out!

EDWIN RILEY        WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME / I LOVE MY BABY    ICU        M-    £400
Rare Texas release - double sided – two lovely group mid-tempo dancers.

JEFF SMITH & UNIVERSE    HIDDEN SECRET                    INCENTIVE    VG    £200
Killer Ohio Release. Jeff Smith aka The Chandlers (Blue Rose / ColSoul) in full flow in this incredible modern 70's floating dancer. Brilliant.

CASINO ROYALE        GET YOURSELF TOGETHER                KEY-LOC        M-    £200
Rare Texas release. Powerful bouncing mid-tempo with wailing horn and soothing melodies. A real winner.

LADY            WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LOVE        MARK-LIN    M    £200
Stunning copy of this scorching hot dance floor monster. A modern classic in the making with demand soaring for this rare 45 that remained buried in the heather for way too long.

FOUR COINS        MAYBE SHE’S RIGHT                LAN-CO        M-    £2,500  SOLD

CROWN FOUR        BIRTH OF A PLAYBOY / LOVE FOR MY GIRL        LEE JOHN    VG+    £700
A master class in 60’s northern soul, wrapped-up and delivered on two awesome sides that have rightly taken their place in northern soul folklore. Killer group northern that hits the bullseye every time. Stunning condition.

DOC OLIVER        TIGHTEN UP YOUR GAME                LUCKY INC.    VG+    £400
Top draw up-tempo northern, a proven rarity just waiting to roar. Almost mint but for some light label stain around edge.

Wonderful classic double sider, mid-tempo northern in beautiful condition.

MARVA LEE        OLD AND GREY / FIRST MIGHT TOGETHER        RUGBY        VG    £750
Super rare Philly release. Vinyl retains gloss with a few scratches and surface marks. Labels are good with some ring wear. Music comes through loud and strong. Powerful dancer that packs a punch at both northern and mixed venues. A very hard record to find in any condition.

VANGUARDS        ALL THE WOMEN I’VE WANTED            SHIRLEY        VG+    £125
Lush crossover production with a group ballad on flip. Nice and still ‘under the radar’.

EPSILONS        MAD AT THE WORLD                SHRINE        VG+    £250
Gorgeous group two-sider on this strange little unknown label.

W.D. JORDAN        YOU CAN’T KEEP RUNNING AWAY            SILVER CITY    M-    £300
Killer funky modern. Powerful and brutally rare.

LUCKY CHARMS        TIED TO YOUR HEART                SUGARHILL    VG+    £400 ON HOLD 
An old Gary Rushbrooke spin from the late Wigan era, thumping Tennessee soul, horns, breaks, spins, it’s got the lot, with an infectious start and opening strings that remind me of a certain Prophonics 45. Check it out!    

THE ROYAL VII        HAND OUT LOVE                    WINDMILL    VG    £150
WOW! out of Virginia comes another awesome up-tempo funky northern discovery by this group on the same label. Some marks to vinyl with good gloss, labels have some ring wear but clean with no defects. A hard one.

That Inspirations 45 is a brilliant record indeed and rare. But it was a Hip City c/up of mine initially, entitled Soul Bros Six in reminiscence of Gary Spencers old Idols (USA) c/up by the same name - as its does sound similar in parts.

'Tis indeed a fabulous and rare 45, I had it a very long time ago, sold it to a friend for the ballad flip which is just amazing
