TOMMY NEAL: Goin' To A Happening * PAMELINE, M-, wol, 225.- Euro, on hold
Detroit Northern Soul, that needs no introduction, an in-your-face dancefloor bomb, produced by Popcorn Wylie and arranged by Mike Terry. You usually see this played to death, but this copy is shiny and clean. Apropos "Goin' To. a Happening", I will be at the Bamberg Soul Shakers weekender and you can arrange a pick-up with me for anything on the list and hear me DJ among the very best soul spinners this world has to offer: Butch, David Ripolles, Brad Hales and many more are on the bill.
GENE TOWNSEL: Mr. Boon Tang / Can't Stop A Poor Man From Making Love * AH-LA-VI, M-, 550.- Euro
Fantastic crossover soul and Gene Townsels debut 45 from 1970 in immaculate condition. Both sides are prime examples of sophisticated west coast independent soul and deserve the love of the international soul scene. Gene is still alive and kicking after a long succesfull career he now resides in Deerfield Beach / Florida and owns a music studio and conducts workshops for aspiring singers.
SMALL SOCIETY: If You Stand By Me / Just Loving You * CADDE, M-, 450.- Euro
I really had a hard time which side I feature on this fabulous double sider. "If You Stand By Me" is floating dancer with a tighten-up-inpsired guitar lick and a funky beat topped by Willie (William) Bollinger's sweet vocals. But the true sensation hides away on the mindblowing flipside. A ballad of immense proportions. Mellow, sweet and then some with amazing guitar work by Larry Gray, who also recorded a hard to find funk 45 on Stepping Stone. A fabulous record without a doubt!
DEE EDWARDS: (I Can) Deal With That * DE-TO, Testpress, VG, 325.- Euro
Dr. William Kyle was a doctor in Detroit and run a clinic on the Grand River Avenue. He was a man of many talents and above his hospital he operated a recording studio and operated his De-To, Music Now and Detroit Sound labels form there. He must have really believed in Dee Edwards iconic "(ICan) Deal With That", a song he wrote for her as he released it twice, once with added strings and once with a simple, but very effective drum, bass and guitar accompany. Here is the original Test Press of the version without strings, pressed by Superdisc in Detroit. Run-Out details are (scratched in): "Superdisc" "DT2286-A-R-I", "#611426A 323 OM". A piece of Detroit Soul history and definitely one of the best 70's steppers on planet earth.
PRESTON EPPS TRIO: Say Yeah!! * POLO, M-, 125.- Euro
Uptempo, bongo driven R&B crazyness for the dancefloor. Vocals are by Andre Franklin and Preston Epps on percussion took good care, thar Andre's name was printed rather small on the beautiful looking label.
BOBBIE SMITH: Walk On Into My Heart * AMERICAN ARTS, VG-, plays better! Tear, ringwear and wol on lbl, 125.- Euro, on hold
Midtempo Northern Soul of the highest calibre, unfortunately slightly wounded, but priced accordingly. No deep scratches, just a lot of surface marks. I hate the term, but "fine for DJing" as the saying goes. Check the sounbyte, always taken from the actual record for sale!
THE MAYBERRY MOVEMENT: I Think I'm In Love * EVENT, VG++, 75.- Euro, on hold
The genius of Patrick Adams is written all over this magnificient 70's dancer. Very clean copy with only the slightest surface blemish, that doesn't affect play at all.
THE GASLIGHT: Just Because Of You / It's Just Like Magic * POLYDOR, M-, 75.- Euro
The group formerly known as Butch & The Newports, who had a highly collectable release on Black Rock records, changed their name to The Gaslight and released four excellent 45s, three of them on Grand Junction label. Ironically their only major label release is the rarest and their best. Here you have a magnificient sweet soul two sider with the featured side lurking into crossover territory. Lead singer Oliver Chetham later had a major hit with "Get Down Saturday Night" and Dave Welding of Soul Junction records unearthed "Don't Pop The Question..." some 10 years ago by Oliver Cheatham, that made big waves on the international soul scene.
THE PRECISIONS: Treason / Me And My Gal * Reissue from an acetate, VG++, 60.- Euro
A few years back Eli "Paperboy" Reed pressed 40 copies of one of his acetates and gave it away to friends and sold a handful via facebook. 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.
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.
ELDER WARD & THE WARD SINGERS: It'll All Be Over * HOB IS GOSPEL, promo, G, wol, 75.- Euro, sold
I usually don't list records in this condition, but this is a rare disc and a great and raunchy sound and it plays fine for it's visual grade. Action packed gospel, with breaks and things . This usually sells for 300+, so this is your chance to grab a bargain, but please listen to the soundclip before you order. What you hear is what you get.
MILL EVANS: When I'm Ready * TOU-SEA; promo, M-, 75.- Euro
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!
LINDA JONES & THE WHATNAUTS: I'm So Glad I Found You * STANG, M-, 70.- Euro, sold
George Kerr produced uptempo Northern Soul dancer from 1972, released shortly before she passed away at the tender age of 27. This is the cleanest copy you will ever see, if you ain't got a mirror at home, you can use the playing surface of this beauty.
JOHN WILLIAMS & THE TICK TOCKS: Do Me Like You Do Me / Blues, Tears And Sorrows * SANSU, promo, M-, 70.- Euro
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.
RAY BARRETTO: Soul Drummers / Mercy, Mercy Baby * FANIA; VG++, 60.- Euro
Two dancefloor pleasin g latin soul sides back to back. In fact, this is one of the records, that really never fails to get the dancers up. Afro Cuban dancefloor madness from the latin community in New York City of the 60's. A DJs must have!
RUDI STEWART: I Wanna Love You All Over * DELMAR INTERNATIONAL; M-, 60.- Euro
1980 uptempo Modern Soul winner from New York city. Way better than most big ticket items and surely a record, that won't last long in the midprice range.
REV. T.L. BARRETT: Lord's Prayer * GOSPEL ROOTS, strong VG, label gloued on slightly off-centre, nap, 50.- Euro
Gospel Modern Soul from the sunshine state. Great and soulful dance groove on this, if I would only like gospel, I would keep it. Mild surface marks, plays great!
LEON THOMAS: Love Each Other * FLYING DUTCHMAN, promo, VG++, 50.- Euro, sold
Mindblowing good jazzy crossover soul, that pops up on playlists here and there for all the right reasons in this world. This ewon't stay long in the midprice range for sure!
WILLIE TEE: Sweet Thing / Man That I Am * GATUR, VG+, H2O damaged labels, 50.- Euro
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.
OTTO DE ROJAS Y LOS ULTRA 76: Al Ritmo Del Bump-Bump * RCA, Made in Peru, VG, 40.- Euro
Monster Latin Soul/Funk bomb, that crossed over to the Northern Soul scene. This is of an uncredited cover of Young Holt Unlimnited's "Soulful Strut" played with tighten-up-vibes. To find a clean copy is a task and this one is nice and shiny and plays great. Don't sleep on this!
THE COASTERS: Down Home Girl / Soul Pad * DATE, VG+, 40.- Euro
Two slow and funky sides by the Coasters, a group best known for their novelty doo-wop hits in the 50's like "Charlie Brown". A mighty fine double header written, produced and arranged by Leiber and Stoller, a duo responsible for some of the most important post WW2 music. They wrote hits for Elvis and - yes, of course - The Coasters.
GIN AND THE GENTS: Teenage National Anthem Boy And Girl / Dreams For Sale * MISS THING, M-, 40.- 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. The featured side is superb sweet soul, while the flipside offers a swinging dancer.
WRECKIN CREW: You Don't Care / Found The Groove * STARVILLE, M-, drill hole in lbl, 35.- Euro, sold
Great and underappreciated Modern Soul dancer on the featured side, flip it over for some serious Boogie business. Clean copy and due to the length of the songs, you need a clean copy as narrow pressed 45s sound shitty, when they got the slightest amount of surface wear.
OSCAR PERRY: Wind Me Up * YELLOW HORIZON, M-, 35.- Euro
Ask anybody outside your soul-bubble if he ever heard of an artist named Oscar Perry and the answer will be "Oscar who? NO". Houston / Texas born Perry has an impressive discography and his recording career spans over three decades. Oscar Perry recorded this punchy dancer in 1979 in Memphis / Tennesse and it's a prime example, why independently produced soulmusic has worldwide followers. Simply a great and cleverly arranged record, that got everything to fill a modern soul dancefloor. Check the soundbyte!
Meco Monardo's first record and it's a groovy masterpiece with a mindblowing good arrangement. Meco is best known for his retakes of popular tunes like "Beethoven's fifth Symphony" or the "Star Wars Theme" and turn them into galactic disco funk anthems. This 45 marks his starting point and to my ears, it's a killer. Meco loved to play around with words and the band name Megaton is a conglomerate of the first name of his partner in crime Tony Bongiovi.
SUGARPIE DeSANTO: The Whoo Pee / Get To Steppin' * BRUNSWICK, strong VG+, tiny sticker on label flipside, 35.- Euro, sold
Action packed soul dancer by a veteran of the Soul and R&B scene of the 60''s. She worked with Johnny Otis, James Brown and with her childhood friend Etta James. Flip ain't too shabby either!
THE PRECISIONS: If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely) * DREW, VG+, some ringwear on lbl, 30.- Euro, sold
All time 60's classic and an iconic Detroit recording, a pretty clean copy. A record, that has stood the test of time. Overplayed? Maybe, but these kind of records are so because of how good they are. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisisionsifthisislove.mp3
EDDIE HOUSTON: I Can't Go Wrong / That's How Much * CAPITOL, Made in France, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve: VG++, 30.- 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)
ELLOIT SMALL: Girls Are Made For Loving * NEW SOUND, VG+, mild storage warp, nap, 30.- Euro
Half price on this rare local first release before Bang took over for national distribution. Record is mildly warped, but plays without extra tracking on both of my turntables.
WILLIE HARPER: A Certain Girl / I Don't Need You Anymore * TOU-SEA, promo, storage warp, not affecting play, M-, 30.- Euro
Stone mint promo of this mindblowing New Orleans double header and Nola vinyl after Kathrina in great condition is so hard to find. Topside is written by Naomi Neville and has been recorded by Ernie K-Doe as well, but Willie Haper's cut has the guts. Flip it over for a mighty fine ballad.
BOBBY BROWN: Why / A Woman And Some Soul * VERVE, promo, VG+, 30.- Euro
Two streetwise 60's soul sides. The featured side definitely has some Northern appeal while the flipside has a catchy groove and Bobby Brown's gritty voice shines out.
NANCY PRESTON: I Got A Right * BANWARD, strong VG+, 25.- Euro
Semi known and underrated 60's soul with social conscious lyrics. Produced by Pittsburgh born guitar slinger Chuck Edwards, best known for "Downtown Soulville" on Punch, the opening record for Mr. Finewine's fabulous radio show. A great collectors item and way better then it's surprisingly low price tag.
PATTI & THE LOVELITES: Love Bandit / I'm The One That You Need * COTILLION, M-, 25.- Euro
Awww, Patti Hamilton and her sultry voice gets me everytime I hear it. Especially on this infectious crossover dancer by the talented south-side Chicago girls. Flip it over for a facemelting ballad. Unplayed stock copy here, don't sleep!
THE WHISPERS: P.O.W.-M.I.A. * Janus, strong VG+, "x" on lbl, 25.- Euro
Ear candy to my ears and of the most underrated 70's dancers in my book. A song about prisoners of war and of course Vietnam related. Great "what's going on"-vibes on this and as per usual super soulful singing by the mighty Whispers. Don't sleep on this!
BOBBY BENNETT: Big New York / Baby, Try Me * LONDON, made in Germany, Vinyl: M- / VG to VG+, stamp on lbl, 25.- Euro
Two driving 60's dance sides on this hard to come by german picture sleeve issue. Originally released on Phil-L.A.-Of-Soul in 1969 and good know why the german London A&R guys thought, there's a market for this in Krautland. Of course there wasn't and it sold next to nothing in the late 60's. Anyway, nice looking and even better sounding artefact from the past.
AARON NEVILLE: All These Things / She's On My Mind * BELL, promo, M-, 25.- Euro
Nola magic on both sides by the big guy Aaaron Neville, blessed with a voice beyond compare. No, this is not for the dancefloor or something to impress your friends with; it's just mindblowing good soulmusic.
LEON HAYWOOD: It's Got To Be Mellow * DECCA; VG++, 25.- Euro
Late 60's midtempo sound, that some call crossover and some Northern, who cares? It's simply great danceable soulmusic from the top shelf for the price of a few pints at the pub.
EDDIE BO: You Are Going To Be Somebodys Fool Too * NOLA; M-, 25.- Euro
Edwin Bocage alias Eddie Bo, better know for his mindboggling funk sides from the 70's, with a superb 60's soul mover. Pure New Orleans class on extra clean wax. Don't sleep!
CHANGE: The Glow Of Love * RFC, VG, plays great, 25.- Euro
Awesome Modern Soul with vocals by Luther Vandross. Change was actually an italian group, but nothing sounds european here. Records has some mild marks and a few crackles during the first few bars, plays great afterwards.
BOBBY CALDWELL: What You Won't Do For Love * CLOUDS, M-, 25.- Euro
Probably unplayed copy of this TK-distributed Florida midtempo 70's gem. A record, that seems to be epitomizing the sound of the sunshine state in the 70's. A must have for any DJ or collector!
BOBBY BLAND: I'm So Tired * DUKE, VG+, 25.- Euro, sold
Probably the best 25 Euro you can spend. Simply mindblowing funky soul by the great Bobby Bland and a record, that everybody is raving about. Don't sleep on this mighty fine dancefloor winner, it's better than 99% of all the big ticket items and the price is right as well.
THE PALLBEARERS: Gettin' Fired Up * FONTANA, promo, M-, 25.- Euro
Action packed blue eyed soul dancer with a lot of Northern potential. A band, that failed completely to have any success, maybe they should have thought more about their name?
MARVIN HOLMES & JUSTICE: Tell The Truth / Summer Of '73 * BROWN DOOR, M-, 20.- Euro
The debut 45 of Marvin Holmes & Justice in Mint shape, whose "You Better Keep Her" is a classic Mecca spin and indemand for decades on the soul scene. Two great sides here, taken from their ultra rare debut LP. Top sides provides a funky 70's mover with soulful vocals and tight backings. Flip it over for an excellent instrumental.
THE JOHNNY OTIS SHOW: Country Girl * KENT, M-, 20.- Euro
Raw funky late 60's groover by Johnny Otis and his bunch of great musicians. This is the first record where Johnny's son Shuggie Otis is featured as a guitar player. Shuggie later recorded some legendary sides for Epic records.
JAMES DUNCAN: You've Gotta Be Strong / All Goodbyes Ain't Gone * FEDERAL, M-, 20.- Euro
Banging raw funk on the top side and a nice little shuffler on the flip. A supern and very underrated 45 in my book and still on the affordable side of things.
LITTLE JOHNNY TAYLOR: Somewhere Down The Line * GALAXY, VG to VG+, plays ex, 20.- Euro, sold
Driving R&B with an incredible Harmonica on the lead. Such a cool record and a guaranteed floorfiller too. Vinyl has mild marks, but plays loud and proud.
THE MAD LADS: Whatever Hurts You / No Time Is Better Than Right Now * VOLT, VG++, some label damage, 20.- Euro
Sweet soul magic by the mighty Mad Lads. So much soul on these two Memphis sides and another proff, that top quality soul doesn't have to break the bank.
GEORGE PORTER'S JOYRIDE: Cissy Strut / Sneaky Freaky * DEESU, M-, minor label flaking on flip, minor storage warp, 20.- Euro
Two excellent super tight New Orleans Funk sides, probably unplayed before I lifted the soundfile. George Porter was - of course - the bass player for the Meters.
THE ARTISTICS: Hope We Have / I'm Gonna Miss You * BRUNSWICK, VG+, 20.- Euro, sold
Chicago south side 60's soul from the top shelf. Featured side offers a migty fine Northern Soul dancer, flip it over for some windy city midtempo magic.
LEROY RANDOLPH: Good To The Last Drop * SPRING, M-, 20.- Euro
Extra clean copy, housed in it's original company sleeve, of this great uptempo early 70's dancer, that sounds rather like late 60's to me. Groovy to the max and Leroy surely sings his heart out here!
TOM AND JERROO: (Papa Chew) Do The Boo-Ga-Loo * JERRY-O, VG++, 20.- Euro
A fun record and one of the many attempts of label owner Jerry O to create a dance craze. How to dance to this properly is shown on this adorable youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EA7ggRdmsY
MUTT AND JEFFO: Soul L-O-V-E-R * JERRY-=, M-, 20.- Euro
Another groovy Jerry Murray aka Jerry-O production. This is the last release on this Chicago label with glued over labels, this first came out on Sherwood Production Records and you can still the the original label shining through.
BRIEF ENCOUNTER: (Don't You See) I'm Crazy About You / We're Going To Make It * SEVENTY-SEVEN, M-, water damaged labels, 20.- Euro
Superb cheap 70's soul by this North Carolina group, that ended up on John Richbourg's excellent Seventy-Seven records in Nashville. Easily as good as most of the big ticket items and highly recomended to the not-so-deep-pocket-collectros out there.
GLORIA LYNNE: I Can't Stand It / Foolish Dreamer * FONTANA, promo, VG+, stamp on lbl, 15.- Euro
Gloria Lynne, better known for her jazzy pop standards, goes rowdy on this mighty fine 60's dance double header. Two uptempo sides back to back and how good does this platter look in it's original company sleeve?
LITTLE JOHNNY TRUITT: Don't Let Me Be A Cryin' Man * ABET, M-, 15.- Euro, on hold
Underrated southern soul dancer with Johnny Truitt in top form. Very soulful and backed up by an extra tight band. Flip it over for a mighty fine deep soul tune.
THE HIDEAWAYS: Jolly Joe / Hide Out * MIRWOOD, M-, 15.- Euro
Cool Mod Jazz double header with the Mirwood sound. L.A.'s finest Soul and R&B label, founded by Randall Wood, former president of Vee-Jay Records in Chicago.
DARRELL BANKS: Our Love (Is In The Pocket) / Open The Door To Your Heart * REVILOT, VG, label tear, drill hole in lbl, 15.- Euro
Slightly wounded copy of this blueprint Detroit Northern Soul double header, that many collectors believe, is the best 60's record ever produced. Who am I to disagree?
WILLIE GAUFF & THE LOVE BROTHERS: Communicate Not Hate * EUREKA; M-, 15.- Euro
Nice and extra clean copy of this funky Cali disc. Guitar driven funky soul with banging drums and Willie Gauff (what a name!) screams his heart out to get his message to you.
HOT BUSH Tell Me That You Will * APA, M-, 12.- Euro
Unplayed stock copy o this T.K. distributed Florida 70's soul gem. A stepper of the highest order and cheaper than all the stupid useless reissues flooding the market these days.
BETTYE SWANN: (My Heart Is) Closed For The Season * CAPITOL, VG++, 10.- Euro, on hold
There's absolutely no way to spend 10.- Euro better than on this gem of a record. Simply wonderful 1970 soul floater by L.A.'s queen of soul Bettye Swann.
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?

This 45 marks his starting point and to my ears, it's a killer. Meco loved to play around with words and the band name Megaton is a conglomerate of the first name of his partner in crime Tony Bongiovi.
