MOSES DILLARD & THE TEX TOWN DISPLAY: I've Got To Find A Way * CURTOM, VG++, 75.- Euro

One of the tougher pulls on Curtom and a great one too.

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.

MILL EVANS: When I'm Ready * TOU-SEA; promo, sticker on lbl, M-, 60.- Euro

Mislabeled copy, that has a sticker with the correct title on it (see picture). Excellent Chicago soul, that ended up on Marshall Seahorn and AllenToussaint's label in New Orleans. How the hell did that happen? Anyway, great atmospheric 60's dance soul and a favourite of the Northern Soul crowd for good reason. Check the soundbyte for a blast from the past!

WILLIE TEE: Sweet Thing / Man That I Am * GATUR, VG+, H2O damaged labels, 60.- Euro, on hold

Awesome funky soul by New Orleans legend Willie Tee on his own Gatur label. This is the misspelled version, credited to "Willie Lee". Hurricane Kathrina did some damage to the labels, but the vinyl is shiny and clean.

JOHN WILLIAMS & THE TICK TOCKS:  Do Me Like You Do Me / Blues, Tears And Sorrows * SANSU, promo, VG+, 60.- Euro, sold

Bargain price for a legendary New Orleans soul 45. One side provides a top notch 60's dancer, that had plays on the Northern Soul scene. Flipside is one of the finest deep soul ballads recorded in the crescent city.

SONNY FISHER: I'm Going (All The Way) / Hurting * PEACOCK, strong VG, 50.- Euro

Great and hard to find 60's soul mover by Sonny Fisher, whose real name was Buford Fishback and who released a Northern Soul classic on Out-A-Site as Sonny Fishback. These wo sides where possibly reorded in New York and how they ended up on Don Robey's Peacock label in Houston/Texas is a mystery. Anyway, two great sides, one uptempo a one deep soul cut. The disc has mild surface marks and plays like a champ.

OTTO DE ROJAS Y LOS ULTRAS 76: Al Ritmo Del Bump-Bump * RCA, made in Peru, VG+, 40.- Euro, on hold

Funky latin soul bomp only released in Peru and a record, that crossed over to more adventurous Northern Soul venues. It has that certain "tighten up"-feel to it and borrows heavily from the immortal "soulful strut" by Young Holt Unlimited. Hard to find in decent nick as folks in Peru partied hard to most copies I found of this - no surprise, as the music on this invites you to go bonkers.

EDDIE HOUSTON: I Can't Go Wrong / That's How Much * CAPITOl, Made in France, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve: VG++, 40.- Euro

Fantastic slice of funky R&B on a beautiful looking french artsleeve issue. Top side is an underrated 60's club soul banger, that sounds ace played out loud. Flip it over for a mighty fine deep soul ballad (the actual A-side of this record, but this record will most likely sell for the dance side)

GIN AND THE GENTS: Teenage National Anthem Boy And Girl / Dreams For Sale * MISS THING, M-, 35.- Euro

Here is a weird, but great record by a group, that later morphed to the Versatile Gents, who had a great record on Linco and then changed their name again to the Vee Gees, best known for their magnificient "Talkin" on Jump Off records.

ARTIE CHRISTOPHER: My Baby's Crying / Don't Try It Again * 5-HIGH, VG++, 30.- Euro

A fantastic deep soul record with an equally great uptempo cut on the flip. Let's hear what sir shambling has to say about this record:

"Although he recorded a few 45s under the name “Artie Christopher” I’m 99% sure that this is really Johnny Christopher, the guitarist/songwriter who is best known in soul circles for his work with Chips Moman at his American Studio in Memphis. Christopher’s musical credits are both lengthy and impressive but I want to concentrate here on the soul side of his personality. His initial single under his nom-de-disque included the superb deep soul ballad "My Baby's Crying". This has all the ingredients that I love in this genre – some simple gospel chord changes, fine organ/piano accompaniment, a gently cooing chorus and some rich horns. On top of which “Artie” does a really bang-up job of expressing the emotional angst of his own lyric. Was this cut in Nashville? Or Atlanta – where Johnny came from? I don’t know. The flip – and both sides of the second Atlantic 45 were certainly cut at American."

THE WINSTONS: Color Him Father  / Amen, Brother * METROMEDIA, VG+, sticker on label, 25.- Euro, sold

DIAMOND JOE: The ABC Song / Look Way Back * DEESU, promo, M-, 25.- Euro

Excellent, hard hitting Nola funky soul produced by Allen Touissant and Marshall Sehorn. Diamond Joe recorded some fabulous 60's side for Sansu records and is surely one of the most underrated vocalists from the the Big Easy. I'm down to my last copy of this!

ZEKE STRONG: I Laugh And Talk But I Don't Play * MISS ADY, VG++, 25.- Euro

Westcost funky soul by singer and saxophonist Zeke Strong, a major player on the L.A. scene in the 60's. Great record with a super loud and banging sound and just a hint away from being M-. The label design is super nice as well - I have a weak spot for artsy self drawn labels.

TONI WASHINGTON: Breaking Lovers Hart * KON-TI, M-, 15.- Euro

Local Nola first press before Atlantic took over for national distribution. Nice little girlie oddity, that made some waves down south in the summer of 1966, not the most soulful record in the world, but a nice slice of crescent city music history.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

THE MASQUERADERS: I Got It / Ain't Got To Love Nobody Else * BELL, M-, 15.- Euro

One of the greatest soul groups of all time. The Masqueraders where unable to make a bad record, but never reached the status of the Temptations or The O'Jays although they definitely could compete with all of the super groups of the classic era. One side is a superb uptempo dancer and one side a great group ballad. Housed in it's original distribution sleeve and the vinyl is shiny and clean.

AARON NEVILLE: A Hard Nut To Crack * PARLO, VG++, 15.- Euro, on hold

One of the most remarkable voices of soulmusics history is surely Aaron Neville's; the guy sings like an angel and he always had a picture of Nat King Cole in front of him while in the studio.

VIC CORNISH: Must Be Love * BONATEMP, VG++, 15.- Euro, on hold

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DONNY GERARD: He's Always Somewhere Around * GREEDY, M-, 10.- Euro

One of the very best things you can buy for next to nothing. A 70's dancer, that sounds like 3 figures, a label design by an unknown maestro and the song was published by "Joyfully Sad Music" /what a name for a publishing company!), honestly, what more do you want?

JAMES BROWN: Hey America / Hey America Instro * POLYDOR, made in Germany, VG+/ sleeve: VG, writings on sleeve, tape repaired spine, 10.- Euro

Great funky edged Soul by the godfather. I actual prefer the instrumental side without the patriotic christmas lyrics. The vocal side has a small scratch on the first few bars, that causes mild clicks. Instro side is M- and plays flawless.
