A grip of soul 45s, some rare bits

[Liljimmycrank]

Nice list of 45s for your buying plessure. These are listed on a few groups, and it will be strictly first come first served.
I've recorded actual sound files to most previously (soundcloud link), but happy to do soundclips for the others on request. Images below of labels and tried to as best possible describe description where any flaws exist.
Postage is extra - please let me know where youre located on enquiry. PayPal as f&f is ideal, but if you're uncomfortable with that we can work something out.
PM's please.

Thanks
Azza

PHILHARMONICS - I NEED I NEED YOUR LOVE
SOULIN, VG+
£165
Slight edge lift (nap) on an otherwise clean copy of this wonderful Crossover slice, that's had a bit of a resurgence of late.

 

 

MCKINLEY MITCHELL - PARTY ACROSS THE HALL
BLACK BEAUTY, EX
£75.....ON HOLD
Chugging dancer that fits well in many sets. Plenty in it for the dance floor and that driving beat makes it a great tempo changer choice.
*listen at 5.30 in the link

 

HARRISON JONES - ON THAT OTHER SHORE
FAMILY, EX
£465
Very Rare gospel modern soul that seems to be generating quite a following. If you don't know it, have a listen and get it bought!
*listen at 11.28 in the link

 

THE TECHNIQUES - DISCO JUNGLE / BRIGHTER DAYS
TECHNIQUES, EX
£240
Two sided winner with totally contrasting styles. An in your face banger backed with a down tempo group soul number. Been selling recently for more than this so a bargain for someone.
*listen at 13.0 in the link

 

LAMAR THOMAS - YOU BEEN GRAZIN' / BLIND LOVE
THE-O-CENTRIC, EX
£30......ON HOLD
This one is only going one way in terms of demand and price. Double sider but its the "grazing" side that's gaining heat at the moment, getting plays on both sides of the pond.
*listen at 16.30 in the link

 

BERNARD SMITH - GOTTA BE A REASON
GROOVE, VG
£475
Classic norther  and always popular. Close inspection shows a few surface issues, bur listen to actual clip.....a real solid player. One sold for more on RareSoul45s with lesser play fidelity, so hopefully priced right here.

TYRONE BARKLEY - MAN OF VALUE
MIDSONG, VG++
£30
Stone cold classic. Suffers from the dish effect that majority copies seem to have, but playing surface is clean.
*listen at 26.20 in the link

 

CHARLES HODGES - YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE I NEED
GENUINE, EX-
£75
Bargain price for this big sounding northern dancer in clean condition.

 

 

LOU COURTNEY - I DONT NEED NOBODY ELSE
EPIC (DEMO), VG
£15
This man didn't make a bad record, and this is probably his most famous. 
Every home should have one!
*listen at 27.56 in the link

 

TOMMY RAY TUCKER - SWEET TALK
CHALLENGE (DEMO), EX
£20
Pounding rhythm and soul for not a lot of dosh, should appeal to various audiences. Wonderfully clean copy, ever so slight lift on the slipmat.
*listen at 30.40 in the link

 

EARLES INC - JUST AN ILLUSION
ZUDAN, VG
£225
Conservative grading on this due to what I can best describe as 'dirt patches' (see photo), which may clean out. I can hear the odd tick but overall plays nice and clear.

 

 

TAJ MAHAL - A LOT OF LOVE
COLUMBIA DEMO, VG+
£50.....ON HOLD
Lovely looking demo in company sleeve, stone cold classic

 

 

THE TRUTHS INC - IF I HAD A LOVE
CAPITAL CITY, EX
£35.....ON HOLD
Outstanding Crossover dancer that was recently brought to vinyl. Sizzling sweet soul flip too, worth it for that side alone.

 

 

MIDTOWN ASSEMBLY - DONT WALK AWAY
GLAMP RD, EX
Recent release and outstanding detroit sounding banger. Pretty much unplayed copy, numbered limited release with pic sleeve.
