Diggin' Dave Posted February 4 Posted February 4 DIGGIN' DAVE 45s - FEBRUARY 2024 SALES LIST Regular, untracked shipping to anywhere of the world, for any number of records is €13 Tracked with UPS is €15 Full list with sound and scans can be checked HERE --------------- Tony Galla – In love / Guys go for girls – Swan 4275 Iconic Northern dancer. Demo copy that plays superb. Minor short edge warp NAP Visual grade: Strong VG+, minor warp NAP €1000 Miss Conduct – Title song from the motion picture / Blank – C.I.P. Ltd You’re seeing something you probably won’t see ever again. This was supposed to become the title song of the “Miss Conduct” motion picture, but it never got released, so they never bothered to put out the song as well. Unless anyone proves me wrong this is the only copy known to exist. It’s also an exceptionally good popcon fingersnapper that will be playing in your head for days to come (sorry for that). Only downside it that it’s styrene but it’s that or nothing I guess. Visual grade: VG €500 Bud Harper – Let it rain / Wherever you were – Peacock 1932 DJ Copy Best (and I mean very best) of both worlds with a deeper than deep soulful popcorn cut, paired with an always in-demand R&B/Northern dancer. Clean demo copy too. Let it rain looks barely played, wherever you were has minor inaudible scuffing. Visual grade: EX/VG+, minor warp NAP €400 The Chances – A better day is coming / People wake up before its too late – Finch 106232 Beautiful, super soulful mid-tempo track from a Chicago group but released on the legendary Cincinnati label. My very last copy that I was not planning on ever selling but needs must. Also, make sure to check out the great flipside. It’s actually my preferred side, with which I have cleared many dance floors around the country. I hope the buyer of this will honor this tradition. Some label fading but it’s a really clean copy. Visual grade: M- €275 The Jackson Sisters – I believe in miracles / (Why can’t we be) More than friends – Prophesy 3005 If this needs an introduction you probably have stumbled upon this mailing list by accident. Absolute all-time modern sister funk monolith that has ignited countless dance floors and will continue to do so until the end of mankind. And I bet giant ants will take over the world and dig it too! Visual grade: EX €275 Samuella Williams – I’m tired of stealing your love / Ah-JunKie Man – Top’s 0001 Ultra badman Alabama ballad with a deep funk flip. Sweet side plays with good fidelity but quite a bit of crackle, the funk side looks and plays better. Visual grade: G/G+ €225 Cleo Randle – Big city lights / You got everything – Sta-Set 406 Soulful and great mid-tempo R&B with an uptempo dancer flip. Visual grade: M- €200 SuGaR – Takin’ care of your main man / Instrumental – Extremely Brave 342 Top drawer mid-tempo Chicago funk 45 in stunning condition. Visual grade: M- €150 The Marlboro Men – Iron horse / Never will you meet a guy like me – Nite Beat 1001 Hard-hitting deep funk but not a lot of collectors are aware of the truly great, and quite unique, instrumental ballad flip. Visual grade: M- €150 Dee Edwards – I can deal with that / Possess me – De-To 2285 Probably needs no introduction to anyone with any remore interest in Detroit Soul. This is the version with strings. Surface doesn’t look too pretty but plays with full fidelity and is pretty enjoyable. Visual grade: G €150 Clete Trexler – Lady / Nothing is sweeter than you – Bucky 2890 Catchy late 70s modern dancer with a solid low-end. This one has been residing under the radar but the cat’s crawlin’ out of the bag as we speak. Visual grade: EX €125 The Feminine Society – Who’ll be the loser / Give me a chnce to get over you – Sure Hits 4401 Obscure and quite great early crossover from the DC area Visual grade: VG+ to EX €120 Larry Covin – Marsha / Bone of my bone – Star 144 Private lo-fi outsider ballad that’s previously undocumented. DIY sleeve signed by the man himself. Visual grade: Sleeve VG, vinyl M- €100 Don Heart – Don’t give in / I’m gonna make a come back – D-Town 1030 One of the harder ones on this iconic Detroit imprint. Two good sides too, which is exactly what you’d expect from Mike Hanks productions. Clean copies of this are few and far between. Visual grade: EX €100 Martha & The Vandellas – In my lonely room / A tear for the girl – Stateside 305 Collectible and clean British issue of the excellent mid-sixties Motown/Gordy dancer. Visual grade: Strong VG+, no center €100 The Chimes – The beginning of my life / Coming changes – Down To Earth 72 Clean copy of one of the best soulful dancers ever to come out of Chicago. I know that’s a bold claim but don’t think too many will disagree. Visual grade: EX, medium warp NAP €80 Danny Torres – Skid row rock Pt I/II – Discos Tivoli 1017 Mega rare mexican instrumental surf rocker. Very unusual and cool. Visual grade: Strong VG €75 Helen Hollins Singers – Sad sad (war is) / Deliverance – Hob 1355 Largely unknown gospel funk double sider with message that unfortunately still resonates today. Visual grade: EX €70 Joe Bataan – What good is a castle / My cloud – Uptite 0019 Two essential latin soul ballads for the price of one. Tough one to find clean but here you go. Visual grade: EX, medium warp NAP €70 Scoop Sanders – I’m the boss Pt I/II – Double Soul 112 R&B tinged Chicago funk. Definitely one of the tougher ones on the label. Visual grade: EX €70 Sam Moore – Plenty good lovin (mono / stereo) – Expansion 7-1 Legit re-release of the four figure rarity as a promo for the Expansion CD from 2001 that has the full unreleased album on it. Beautiful copy, sounding great. Visual grade: M- €60 Dennis Wiley – Right on time / Following Jesus – Den’s 2 Uptempo electro boogie gospel privateness. Superficial marks but plays strong. Visual grade: Strong VG €60 Hollywood Flames – I’m gonna stand by you / I’m coming home – Symbol 45-215 Clean copy of this uplifting sixties dancer and one of the last releases from the legendary quartet. Visual grade: VG+ €55 Steve Karmen – Breakaway theme EP – Pontiac 1780 Demo only instrumental version of the Steve Karmen scorcher. Crisp copy that probably never saw a needle prior to me making the recording of the sound file. Visual grade: M- €55 The Casinos – If I told you / Evrybody can’t be pretty – Del-Val 1002 Perpetually underrated uptempo Philly group soul. Clean surface but has a bit of label damage on both sides. Visual grade: M- €35 Big Miller – All is well / Try to understand – Savoy 1181 Mid-fifties uptempo blues shouter with a doo wop flip. Minor label damage on both sides, smightyl more prominent on the flipside. Visual grade: VG+ €35 Soul Searchers – (My) living won’t be in vain / Gone on home – Memorial 36 Slightly quirky, but great vibe on this sweet black gospel 45 outta Lousiana. Visual grade: M- €30 The Rising Simon’s – Simon’s dream / Crying solin – Philips 3051 Cool South African mod organ breaks obscurity. Comes in its OG company sleeve. Some label damage but surface looks and plays clean. Visual grade: VG+ to EX €25 Bettye Scott – Good feeling / Down, down, down – Teako 747 Feelgood crossover jam. I’m down to my last copies and this is the cleanest one I have left. Visual grade: VG+ €25 The Gospel Ambassadors – He died for me / Send your cleansing power – Ha-Lo 07 Deep and soulful downtempo gospel outta Chicago with an uptempo jiver on the flip. Visual grade: M- €25 The Gifts – Lovin’ you / Rock my soul – Ballad 001 Overlooked, but stunning ballad on the flip of a mighty fine St Louis R&B dancer. Visual grade: Strong VG+ €25 The Three Jades – Show me your way / Come on let’s party – Maurci 103 Their lesser known release, has that distinct mid-sixties Chicago sound. Scuffy appearance but an enjoyable listen. Visual grade: VG- €25 Leon Haywood – It’s got to be mellow / Cornbread and buttermilk – Decca 32164 Cheapest one on the list but up there with the best. Visual grade: VG+ €10
