DIGGIN' Dave 45s List - JUNE 2024

 

Full list with sound and scans can be found HERE

 

Angela Davis & The Mighty Chevelles – My love (is so strong) / Instrumental – Flaming Arrow 2829

Ultimate Detroit sister funk 45 and a certified dance floor destroyer. My very last copy that was supposed to remain hard filed in the collection but life decided otherwise.

Visual grade: EX

€1200

 

Camille DeCoeur – Love is (not for real) / Girl don't take your head away from me – Reynolds 203

Rare as hen's teeth and stunningly beautiful dreamy folk soul with crisp drums. Completely undocumented as far as I know.

Visual grade: VG+

€1000

 

Silky Hargraves – I'll keep on trying / Love, let's try it again – Wheelsville 116 HOLD

Wailin' mid-tempo Detroit on the legendary label.

Visual grade: VG+, minor warp NAP

€350

 

Disciples of Soul – Together / That's the way love goes – Phantom 2755

The Intruders original from 1967 is pretty decent but this 1968 take from Virginia really takes it to the next level. Nice clean copy too.

Visual grade: EX

€325

 

Lou Lawton – Knick knack patty wack / It's that time of day – Wand 1160

Classic Northern stomper. Intermittent pops but plays with full fidelity.

Visual grade: VG- to VG

€300

 

The Fabulous Moonlighters – I've lost again / For granted – Blue Eagle 1011

Indiana ballad with an uplifting dancer flip.

Visual grade: VG, medium warp NAP

€250

 

Step By Step – I always wanted to be in the band / Step by step – Zafiro 520

Uplifting Spanish only modern from Milwaukee. Rare issue copy. Sleeve is intact with some wear around the edges and grades around VG

Visual grade: VG+

€225

 

Frankie Luv – Frankie's L.A. Stomp Pt I/II – Chancellor 1204

One of the last releases on the label and to be honest one of the freshest things I've heard on this imprint. Remarkably cool jazzy instrumental with potential on several scenes. Distribution seems to have been coming apart at the seams too at that point cause this promo only release was only recently discovered after laying dormant for 50 plus years.

Visual grade: VG+, minor warp NAP

€225

 

Bobbie Roberson – Don't you leave me baby / Don't turn your back on me baby – Bolivia 0332

Alabama sweet soul deepness. Copy looks unplayed with a short warp that tracks without any issues.

Visual grade: M-, storage warp NAP

€200

 

Richard Williams – Who's got the right of way / I'm a free man – Dionysian 103

Rare garage banger that aldso came out (in equally limited quantity) as Beyond Good and Evil. This gotta be one of the cleanest copies around.

Visual grade: EX

€150

 

Billy (Sugar Billy) Garner – Your wasting my time Pt I/II – New Day 100

Raw Detroit funk banger produced by Dave Hamilton. Beautiful copy.

Visual grade: M-, minor warp NAP

€150

 

Earl King – Feeling my way around / Poor Sam – Hot Line 908 HOLD

To my ears the very best release from the prolific New Orleans singer. Top side a mature mid-tempo fingersnapper, flip side a nothc slower but both right in the feelings.

Visual grade: VG+

€150

 

Bobby Dodyne and The Barefacts – Soulful sound of music / Hold on I'm coming – Crown Ltd. 120

Little known late 60s dancer from Alabama that deserves more plays. Some sources claim this to be Artistics lead signer Robert Dobyne but I very much doubt that.

Visual grade: VG+, minor dish warp NAP

€125

 

Watch tower – Forever together / Forever, together reprise – Tower High 563-41

Ohio sweet soul dagger. An area with audible feeler marks brings down the grade but crackle clears up as the tune progresses.

Visual grade: G to G+

€125

 

McKinley Mitchell – Party across the hall / She's married already – Black Beauty 301

Chicago crossover dancer with a beautiful ballad flip. Ballad plays with a bit of noise inherent in the pressing.

Visual grade: EX, minor warp NAP

€120

 

Geraldine Curry – No matters how hard I try / You're so wonderful – London House 655

Femme ballad from New Jersey with an uplifting crossover flip.

Visual grade: M-, medium warp NAP

€120

 

Honey & The Bees – Together forever / Blank – Arctic 152 DJ Copy

Rare single-sided promo release that onyl features the often overlooked 'flip side' of Dynamite Exploded.

Visual grade: Strong VG+

€120

 

Nanette – What a way to go / Same – Quintana Roo

Stunning stepper with jazzy vocals on the rare private issue.

Visual grade: EX, medium warp NAP

€100

 

The Blessed Peace Choir – A quiet place / Matthew 6: 9-13 – Small World Records 032

Totally unknown spiritual 1981 gospel from Alabama (Indeed, gospel is spiritual by default but I'm sure you'll figure out what I mean when checking the clip).

Visual grade: EX to M-

€100

 

Brad Spencer & The Swingin' Mozacks – Life in jail / Devoted to you – CBS 12631

Super rare funky organ garage groove kinda vibe. The odd time sig adds a cool extra layer of uniqueness.

Visual grade: VG+

€100

 

Wayne Champion – Boogaloo news / I stand accused – Invictus 1000

Hard to find Chicago R&B that lends its intro theme from Eugene Church "Good news". Plays well above grade.

Visual grade: VG

€100

 

The Glorfying Vines Sisters – Results of the judgement / Lamb's book of life – Pinewood 8075

Upbeat North Carolina gospel rarity. Super clean surface, bit of needle wobble but no major warps and play perfect.

Visual grade: M-, storage warp NAP

€100

 

The Londonaires – Room 23 / Somebody help me – Trail 1760

Elusive lo-fi Tennessee funk instrumental.

Visual grade: VG- to VG

€100

 

Peggy Lee – Times we had / Time has come – Lake 7068

Chicago obscurity that fuses crossover and outsider elements, but in this case the sound clip says more than a thousand words. Really cool and in its own lane.

Visual grade: VG+

€100

 

Dee Clark – That's my girl / It's raining – Constellation 113

Unusually clean copy of this classic Wigan oldie.

Visual grade: EX, minor warp NAP

€90

 

Fantasia – Love is free / Life goes on – Fantasia

Mid-tempo DC modern that's still somewhat under the radar in spite of its obvious quality.

Visual grade: M-, minor warp NAP

€90

 

Tex and Linda – Maybe baby / Runaround heart – Knight 4467

Super rare quirky garage rocker outta Phoenix. Don’t snooze as you may never encounter this one ever again (let alone in this condition).

Visual grade: M-

€75

 

Larry Clinton – Walkin' with Willie / This would be my prayer – Lawn 247

Lesser known release from the enigmatic Philly singer. Crude R&B dancer paired with a remarkable deep ballad flip.

Visual grade: VG-

€65

 

Pilgrim Wonders Singers – Lay me down to sleep / Man from Gallalee – Davis 122

Ohio gospel shouter that's messy in the best possible way. Shreds. Lot of superficial marks but plays strong.

Visual grade: G+

€60

 

Sandi Havens – Happy / Give it up – Great Atlantic Records 11263

Classic disco with a jazz edge. Tough pull on a 45.

Visual grade: VG-

€50

 

Andy Timbs – You can't sit down / Long black limousine – Rixx 101

Rockin' instrumental shredder from parts unknown

Visual grade: Strong VG

€50

 

The Birmingham Traveleers – Guide me lord I pray / I need love – BT 80

Private Alabama black gospel. Never shows up this clean.

Visual grade: EX, minor warp NAP

€50

 

Leon Eason – I'm in the mood for love / Lazy river – Blue Note 45-1745

Largely unknown 45 only crooning soul-jazz version. Nice rendition and production is of course top notch.

Visual grade: Strong VG+

€50

 

Tyrone Barkley – Man of value / Some kind of wonderful – Midsong 1016

Clean original styrene issue of this classic late 70s dancer.

Visual grade: M-

€40

 

The Siamese Twins – We are workers for the Lord / Your mother – Twins 100

Eerie kiddie gospel by Siamese twins Yvonne and Yvette. Later re-issued on Norton with more info on their remarkable life story. Worth checking out!

Visual grade: VG+ to EX

€40

 

Apollo – Just don't understand / Long distance love – Pythians 20819

Soulful private AOR from down South. Remarkably good songwriting on this one.

Visual grade: VG
