This is my old DJ copy (I recently minted up) and "Treasure Mind" plays great. The flipside has a few more crackles, but it's the uptempo side you going to play anyway. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/traceofsmoketreasure1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/traceofsmokeur1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FREE YOUTH: You Take To Much Time To Change * TMI, M-, 250.- Euro, sold Beautiful sweet crossover soul and a very rare record.

Freeway were an american band touring in Peru and they recorded two 45s in South America before they split up. It's a catchy funky song with a great production, nice vocals and a spaced out synth solo towards the end.

So, what you see here is an unreleased slice of 60's dance soul, that only exists as an original acetate and in very limited numbers on this great sounding reissue. Not sure, if these are the Detroit Precisions, they don't sound motorcity-like to my ears, but whoever this is, it's mindblowing good 60's dance soul. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionstreason.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionsmeandmy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FRANK POLK: Love Is Dangerous * CAPITOL, VG+++, 75.- Euro Classic Northern Soul, that was comped on one of the Kent LPs from back in the days, produced by the great David Axelrod. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/frankpolkloveisdangerous.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldgottagethome.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldshowme1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE WHATNAUTS: Help Is On The Way * HARLEM INTERNATIONAL, VG++, 65.- Euro Modern Soul Boogie dancer from the top shelf and a record, that never fails to get the dancers up. A catchy and tight call to the dancefloor by the mighty Whatnauts after they left Sylvia Robinson's All Platinum group. Some very light surface marks, that do not affect play. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/whatnautshelpisonthe.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CYRIL NEVILLE: Gossip * JOSIE, VG, 60.- Euro Hard hitting Nola Funk by Cyril Neville.

This is the misspelled version, credited to "Willie Lee". Hurricane Kathrina did some damage to the labels, but the vinyl is shiny and clean. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/willieleesweetthing.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/willieleemanthatiam.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JEAN WELLS: What Have I Got To Lose * CALLA, M-, 45.- Euro, sold Simply one of the finest soul records under gods sun!

Randy was the youngest of the brothers and he was the unofficial 6th member playing percussion in the background. When the Jackson 5 signed to Epic, they changed their name to the Jacksons and from this point on Randy was an offical member of the band. This is his only solo release from 1978 and it's simply brilliant. Check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/randyjacksonhowcanibesure.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CHET McDOWELL: I Guess You Don't Know (The Golden Rule) * DART, VG++, 40.- Euro Semi known 60's dancer and a sound for the rare and underplayed room.

Arranged by the talented Vince Montana and here you have everything I like about uptempo soul; a free floating band with a strong uptempo beat and mindblowing group harmonies. The flipside has a larger rubmark and plays with repeating clicks, but you need this for the uptempo side anyway. soundfiile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ethicslookatmenow.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MARK MURPHY: Why Don't You Do Right? * RIVERSIDE, VG+, 40.- Euro, sold Mod Jazz dancer from the top shelf and the best version of this beloved Joe McCoy tune. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/markmurphywhydontyou.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BETA BIZARRE BOOGIE BAND: Chattahoochee Chugalug * RAFTER, M- / M-, 40.- Euro Super cool Budweiser promotion record with a killer disco boogie side.

Top side is an underrated 60's club soul banger, that sounds ace played out loud.

Ray Crumley was the lead singer for the Solid Gold Revue, who recorded an incredible rare and great LP and he had 3 releases on Alarm records, that are all worth checking out. This is pure dancefloor dynamite, that got ignored by all major jocks for reasons unknown to me.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE SPINNERS: I'll Always Love You * MOTOWN, M-, 30.- Euro Shiny clean copy of this beautiful Motown dancer from 1965. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/spinnersillalaways.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PACE-SETTERS: Push On Jessie Jackson / Freedom And Justice * KENT, M-, 25.- Euro Funky edged soul with a message, that recently crossed over to more open minded Northern Soul dos.

Great funky soul by Willie Hutch and cool to have on the original 7". Flipside has a few more marks and plays with slight crackles, but igt's the great playing A-side you need this record for. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/williehutchfoxybrown.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SOUTH SHORE COMISSION: We're On The Right Track * WAND, M-, 10.- Euro, sold Tom Moulton mixed pre disco 70's mover, that ticks all the boxes. Just a great dancer and you will struggle to find a cleaner copy than this. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/southshorewereontheright.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOBBY WOMACK: Daylight * UNITED ARTISTS, promo, VG to VG+, wol, 10.- Euro, sold Incredible good 70's soul by the mighty Womack.

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? soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/donnygerardhesalways1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JERRY BUTLER: Lost / You Don't Know What You Got Until You Lose It * MERCURY promo, VG++, 10.- Euro, sold Nice looking and even better sounding promo copy of this Chicago /Philadelphia cooperation. Former Impressions singer Jerry Butler teamed up with Gamble and Huff and so much talent in a recording studio resulted in two magnificient songs. The uptempo side "Lost" and the mindboggling ballad on the flip. Way rarer promo copy, the "Lost" side has a kind of pressing flaw in the run-out-grooves which keeps it from being Mint, both sides play flawlessly and 5 bucks for either side seems like a baragin to me. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jerrybutlerlost.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jerrybutleryoudontknow.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ORANGE SUNSHINE: Who's Cheating On Who * PRODIGAL, promo, M-, 10.- Euro Superb funky cheapo produced by Don Boddie of Boddie records fame.

Every bloody reissue sets you back to more money and it's beyond me, why anybody spends his hard earned dosh on represses, when quality records like this are available for less. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbyblandgoodtime.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BILLY SHIELDS: I Was A Boy When You Needed A Man * HARBOUR, M-, drill hole in label, 10.- Euro Melodic midtempo crossover soul for next to nothing.

Way better than 99% of all big ticket items, check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/impressionssoonerorlater.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LOLEATTA HOLLOWAY: Cry To Me * AWARE, M-, 8.- Euro, sold Sam Dees penned deep soul ballad and surely one of the most soulful records out there. I can't think of a better record to close this list. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/loleattacrytome.mp3 Edited November 29, 2023 by Docfish
