Stack of Wax

[Soulfulsolutions]

Another juicy bunch of soul 45’s up for grabs, labels O to W today, some classics, some hard to find.

Happy to provide additional images or sound files. Happy to hold until pay day. PM any questions or to reserve.

 

Tommy Tate – I’m taking on pain – Okeh 7242 Ex £250

(In my top 5 beat ballads along with the likes of label buddy Walter Jackson, and Big Dee Irwin on Rotate, so emotive. Lovely on purple stock)

 

Tobi Lark – I’ll steal your heart – Palmer 500 WD Ex- £250

(The delectable Tobi Legend, what an artist, some fabulous Detroit outings, this one a cheeky dancefloor blinder. Rarer white demo, some surface marks that DNAP, so grading is visual, it plays great at Ex+)

 

Tobbi Bowe – I can feel him slipping away – Patheway 103 Promo Ex £550

(It appears this big production girly backed Hollywood release is a cover of the Mamie Lee, MGM track. Ignore the flip title “groovy feeling” its as far away as Soul can be from flower power, brilliant dancefloor track. Remained hard to find. Small sticker dot on either side, highlighter circle on. Some nearly inaudible pops)

 

Charen Cotten - A little bit of love - Philomega 801 M- £150 (Nice smooth feme soul on a J/G distributed label, the hard one to find, more common on the Perception label release)

 

Paulette & Cupids – He’ll wait on me – Prism 1922 M- £75

(Subtle girl group sound, foot tapping shuffler)

 

Tangenettes – You’re the one / Any ol’ way – Ran 101 Ex £85

(Under the radar NY girl group 2 sider, obscure 45, rareish)

 

Bobbettes – I’ve gotta face the world / Having fun – RCA 8832 WD M- £150

(Excellent double sider, one soft the other hard nosed femme Soul. Number on flip label)

 

Paul Anka - When we get there - RCA 9457 M- £300

(Just a delight to look at, Northern anthem on its coolest format, lovely copy)

 

Tawny Reed – Needle in a haystack – Red Bird 10044 WD M- £200

(Excellent cover of the Velvelettes winner on a fabulous white demo, suits the Mod scene with a classic Hammond organ break, incessant stuff. Small sticker residue on label)

 

Edwin Starr – Agent OO Soul – Ric-Tic 103 WD Vg+ £250

(Single sided demo, a lovely way to collect the label and of course an anthem. Show sighs of use, but nothing that causes any audible deterioration, it’s a solid Ex player)

 

Edwin Starr – Stop her on sight – Ric Tic 109 WD M- £45

(Gets plays on commercial radio round my way, fantastic example of 60’s Northern. Small wol and sticker on flip, surface is great)

 

Anita Humes & Essex – What did I do – Roulette 4542 WD Ex+ £75

(Classic girl group dancer. Some minor dabs of tippex on labels, mainly covering 2 blue x’s on flip)

Image on request, exceeded limit!

 

Betty Harris – Trouble with my lover - Sansu 480 WD M- £65

(Very infectious Northern R&B, played out superbly by Betty)

Image on request, exceeded limit!

 

Gladys Knight & Pips – Just walk in my shoes – Soul 35023 Ex+ £120

(The rarer west coast lilac and white format, recently sold on Manny’s auction for 180, drill hole)

 

Jimmy (Soul) Clark - Sweet darlin’ - Soul Hawk 001 Ex+ £175

(Detroit class, never fails to lift a listener. Red label but rarer with SILVER text, minor edge lift does not affect play)

 

Stan Deveraux & Trendsetters – Sad tomorrows – Sujay 102 Ex £300

(Lovely tune, smooth vocals with punchy bursts, rare semi-known, appears to be a one-off label, Stan was from Phoenix, Arizona so assume it originates from there. Small xol)

 

Porgy & Monarchs - That’s my girl - Sylves 123 Ex+ £100

(What a voice this Porgy chap has, rock solid group soul dancer, drill hole)

 

Wilson Pickett - Let me be your boy - Verve 10378 M- £70

(Released on several label formats, black and silver label seems to be the harder Verve)

 

Elvin Spencer - Lift this hurt - Winner 0742 M- £120

(Great crossover, Chicago label, Elvin produced. Minor edge lift does not affect play)
