Another nice selection of Northern, differing flavours but all nice tunes

Note I am out for a few hours after posting up but will pick up all messages in order they come.

 

Ann Byers – I’m happy without you – Academy 124 WD Ex £250

(Mellow femme midtempo dancer, small sticker on top label, small sticker residue on flip label)

N

Chappells – You’re acting kind of strange – Bedford 108 M- £300 HOLD

(Fantastic girl group crossover, just a small mark and 2 feint pops toward the middle, a lovely looking copy)

Billy Preston – The girl’s got it – Capitol 5611 M- £100 HOLD

(Immaculate copy of this out and out belter)

Johnny Williams – My baby’s good – Chess 1976 M- £100

(One cool R&B tinged Northern dancer, love this)

Kenny Lynch – Movin’ away – HMV 1604 M- £250

(Wonderful beat ballad, such a classic style for the big voiced artists, UK release with Intact centre)

Hesitations – I’m not built that way / Soul superman – Kapp 790 WD Ex+ £225

(Wow, when it comes to double siders, this is right up there, top class 60s group, hint of light cue burn on ‘built’ intro, couple of seconds that’s all, ‘superman’ is clean)

Broken Hearts Inc. – Please don’t walk away / Heartache (is all you get) – Kimberlite 002 NM £180

(2018 Canadian release, nice northern dancer backed with a stunning sweeter side, don’t cha just love the company sleeve as well)

 

Soul Shakers – I’m getting weaker – Loma 2047 Ex- 175

(Some light lines on the surface that do not affect play, dulled white label with ‘not for sale” blacked out, solid player)

Brice Coefield – Ain’t that right – Omen 10 Ex+ £375

(Instantly recognisable dancer, on the beautiful green stock copy)

Dean Courtney – I’ll always need you – RCA 9049 M- £350 HOLD

(Rare black stock copy of this anthem dancer, from the Hollywood pressing plant)

Laura Greene – Moonlight music in you – RCA 9164 M- £350 HOLD

(Always been a sought-after RCA, but on rare black stock copy even juicier, slight dish on centre, but it sits evenly, looks and plays beautifully)

Michael & Raymond – Man without a woman – RCA 9244 WD Ex+ £130

(Another classic)

Susan Barrett – What’s it gonna be – RCA 9296 WD Ex £225

(Wow, they did knock out a huge amount of music destined for Northern exposure)

Lorraine Chandler – I can’t change – RCA 9345 WD Ex £250 HOLD

(Loz at her best, none of her tracks should be overlooked, flip label is off white)

Hal Frazier – After closing time – Reprise 0570 WD NM £170 HOLD

(I first heard this on a snippet tape way back, took me months to identify and garb my first copy, still sounds as good today as its ever done. Condition, condition, condition)

Fellows – She’s always there / Let’s make it last – Solid Hit 110 Ex £225 HOLD

(Superb Detroit double sider, one side true to the motor city upbeat soul, the other a gritty Volumes on Karen-esque, on a label design to die for)

Gino Parks – Fire – Tamla 54066 WD Ex £350

(Powerhouse vocals and intensity on this early Motown number on the Tamla imprint, hard on demo, couple of light pops at run off. Such a hard Hitsville release to find in higher end condition, and one that will be missing from many Motown collections, small DJ stamp on flip)

Marsha Gee – Baby I need you – Uptown 704 Ex £180 HOLD

(Out and out niter material, Daisy stamped original, small N in pen on top label but hard to see and already 260 on Manny's auction with an hour or so to go!)

Georgia Soul Twisters – Look out! I’m going to blow your mind – Waxwing 1010 M- £1250

(Group hails from Lyon, Georgia, hence the name, but the tracks were recorded in Florida. It’s always been a bit under the radar, a stunning 70s Northern track which Daren Brown sold recently for £1500 quoting his first ever copy, so still rare and hard to find, bargain and in this condition too)
