What a weird phenomenon Rocky Roberst was, a semi professional boxer and a talented soul singer from Miami, who moved to Italy where he became a prolific life entertainer and he had a big hit in Pasta-Paradise with "Stasera Mi Butto".

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. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/megatondiggin.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LOVE, PEACE & HAPPINESS: Strip Me Naked * RCA, VG++, 30.- Euro, sold A big favorite for the punters at soul essence and other progressive venues, that features quality over rarity.

Produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson best know for his time during the heydays of Motown. This is Willard King's debut from 1973 and only the rare soul scene keeps talented guys like this from being forgotten. Some mild crackles, but nothing, that should distract you from listening to a masterpiece of 70's Detroit soul. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/willardkingladybe.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ATG: Dancin' Lady * SANSU, M-, mild dish warp not affecting play at all, 30.- Euro Excellent early 80's dancer from the vaults of New Orleans Sansu label soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/atgdancinlady1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BONNIE & LEE: The Way I Feel About You * FAIRMOUNT, promo, VG++, close to M-, 25.- Euro Catchy 60's dancer and the rarer promo too. Check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bonnieandleethewayifeel1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B.W. & THE NEXT EDITION: Work, Work, Work / Chosen One * DAKAR, VG++, 25.- Euro, sold Back in 1995 I found 10 unplayed copies of this and sold them for 100 a pop. So here is a rare example of a record, where the price has significantly going down. The promo with "Work, Work, Work" was easy to find, but it was all about the issue with "Chosen One" on the flipside; a fine crossover sound and pretty indemand back then. Anyway, it's still a great record and cheap for the phenomenal musical content. And the trick is, to buy records against the trend, it safes you big bucks and keeps you from being called a "hotboxer". soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bwandthework.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bwandthechosenone.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CHANGE: The Glow Of Love * RFC, VG, plays great, 25.- Euro, sold Awesome Modern Soul with vocals by Luther Vandross.

The featured side offers rambling sister funk, but the true sensation hides away on the B-side. A proper soul tune, lurking into crossover territiry and Marva is singing her heart out. Minimal surface wear and some background noise, due to the rather bad King pressings during this period. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyitsmything12.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyballoffire1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOBBY WOMACK: Tried And Convicted * MINIT, M-, 25.- Euro In my humble opinion Bobby Womack's finest 60's recording.

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! soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/whispoerspowmia.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE INCREDIBLES: I Can't Get Over Losing Your Love * AUDIO ARTS, M-, 30.- Euro Excellent slice of 60's Northern Group Soul in perfect shape. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/incrediblesicantgetover.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbybennettbignewyork1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbybennettbabytryme1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.

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 vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE PALLBEARERS: Gettin' Fired Up * FONTANA, promo, M-, 20.- Euro Action packed blue eyed soul dancer with a lot of Northern potential.
