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 GEORGE SOULE: Get Involved * FAME, VG++, wol, 30.- Euro Mindblowing 70's dancer produced by Rick Hall for Muscle Shoals Sound" and co-written by the great George Jackson.

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 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOHNNY SCOTT: Hide & Seek With Me * PORTRA, M-, 30.- Euro Cool Memphis 60's soul double sider.

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.

I always thought he sounds like a gritty Clyde McPhatter and that's surely big compliment. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sambakerimnumberone.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sambakeribelievein.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WOOD BRASS AND STEEL: Hey What's That You Say * ASTROSCOPE, M-, 20.- Euro The man behind this record is most likely Ineffie Woods, writer of some of the tracks of the legendary Skullsnaps LP on GSF. This is basically the same song as the breakbeat classic "It's A New Day" by the Skullsnaps and I believe, that this 45 came out before the Skullsnaps. Anyway it's a great funky soul track and this copy for sale is shiny and clean. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/woodbrassandheywhatsthat.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FLOATERS AND SHU-GA: For Your Love * FEE, VG++ very close to M-, 20.- Euro Detroit stepper of the highest order and cheap too. The label design alone is worth the asking price, but this is no art exhibtion here; it's in the grooves that counts and to my ears, this sounds brillinat. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/floatersandsugaforyour.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/georgeportercisssy.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/georgeportersneaky.mp3 vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/tomanjerroopapachew.mp3 vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE PALLBEARERS: Gettin' Fired Up * FONTANA, promo, M-, 15.- 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? soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/pallbearersgettinfiredup.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE JOHNNY OTIS SHOW: Country Girl * KENT, M-, 15.- 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. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/johnnyotiscountrygirl.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/madladswhatever1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/madladsnotimeisbetter.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ACCENTS: New Girl * M-PAC, M-, 20.- Euro Mighty fine Chicago mid-sixties group soul dancer on George & Earnest Leaners One-Der-Ful/M-Pac! outlet. Eric Leaner, the son of Earnest, is now licensing unissued and rare stuff from the Vaults of the labels to Secret Stash records in Minneapolis. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/accentsnewgirl.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MOON PEOPLE: Land Of Love * SPEED, VG+, small warp, not affecting play, 20.- Euro Funky latin soul instrumental, that sounds just right for troday's more open minded scene. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/moonpeoplelandoflove12.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE POETS: She Blew A Good Thing * SYMBOL, M-, 15.- Euro Fabulous group soul dancer produced by Juggy Murray. Just a great soul record and affordable too. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/poetssheblewagood1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE SPELLBINDERS: We're Acting Like Lovers * COLUMBIA, VG++, 15.- Euro, sold Van McCoy produced group soul dancer and another proof, that quality doesn't have to break the bank. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/spellbinderswereactinglike.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEROY RANDOLPH: Good To The Last Drop * SPRING, M-, 15.- 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! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leroyrandolphgoodtothe.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MEL HUESTON: Time And Patience / Double Confusion * CHANSON, M-, 15.- Euro Immense very soulful funk double sider from Toledo / Ohio. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/melhuestontimeand.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/melhuestondoubleconf.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx STARFIRE: Don't Come Back / Almost Insane * DYNAMIC ARTISTS, VG+, label tear, 15.- Euro Great boogie funk out of Richmond /Virginia with an ice slow jam on the flip. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/starfiredontcomeback.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/starfirealmostinsane.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BRIEF ENCOUNTER: I'm So Satisfied / Don't Let Them Tell You * SEVENTY-SEVEN, M-, 20.- Euro Two fantastic 70's sides by a band completely unable to make a bad record. These two songs are 7" only and are not on their rare LP. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/briefencounterimsosatis.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/briefencounterdontletthem.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SUNDRAY TUCKER: If It Was Me * TK, M-, 15.- Euro Two stepper from 1981 produced by Clarence Reid and another proof, that quality doesn't have to break the bank. Clean copy in it's original distribution sleeve. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sundraytuckerifitwas.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx B. W: SOULS: Marvins Groove * ROUND, M-, 15.- Euro Awesome west coast funk with a slick groove and some incredible open drum breaks. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bwsoulsmarvins.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE SPINNERS: It's A Shame * V.I.P., M-, 15.- Euro A Motown classic up for grabs in extra clean condition. Sampled by Salt & Peppa when I was a youngster and this record never fails to make me praise the greatness of soulmusic. The guitar intro is nothing less than iconic, the vocals are heavenly and the arrangement by Paul Riser is outsatnding. Steve Wonder produced this and if the sales phrase "every home should own a copy" ever made sense, it's with this record. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/spinnersitsashame1234.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MARVIN GAYE: You're The Man * TAMLA, M-, 15.- Euro Non-LP-track by Marvin Gaye, who recorded this funky soul masterpiece with members of Bohannon's band in 1972. The record didn't have much success and Gaye canceled the plan to make a whole LP as a follow-up of his million seller "What's Going On". This is actually the only 45, that was released in it's time, from what most Gaye devotees called Marvin's lost album. Marvin Gayes anger with the political system shines through every line of this record, but in the end one must admit, that he just didn't like to pay taxes (who does?) and to call this attitude rebellious is slightly pathetic. He later on waved America goodbye due to endless conflicts with the taxman and moved to Belgium. Long background story for a record, that is simply mindblowing in my book. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvinyouretheman.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvinholmestellthe.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvinholmessummerof.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JAMES DUNCAN: You've Gotta Be Strong / All Goodbyes Ain't Gone * FEDERAL, M-, 15.- Euro Banging raw funk on the top side and a nice little shuffler on the flip. A superb and very underrated 45 in my book and still on the affordable side of things. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jamesduncanyouvegottabe.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jamesduncanallgodbyes.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CODY BLACK: Going, Going, Gone / Enp Up Lovin * RAM-BROCK, M-, 15.- Euro Born in Cincinnati/Ohio, but his career really took off, when he moved to Detroit as youngster. This is Cody Black's most succesfull release from 1967 and this might fine disc provides two blasting dance sides from the Motor City. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/codyblackgoing.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/codyblackendup.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOBBY COPNEY: Love Au-Go-Go * TUFF, VG+, some label stains, 15.- Euro The most Detroit sounding New York record i'm aware of.

In fact, a company, that failed to release a bad record. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/manhattensibetcha.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/manhattenssweetlittle.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GENE CHANDLER: (I'm Just A) Fool For You It A Shame / Buddy Ain't It A Shame * CONSTELLATION, M-, 15.- Euro Two great Chicago 60's dance sides for you to consider. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/genechandlerfoolforyou1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/genechandleraintitashame.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PRINCE HAROLD: Baby, You've Got It * MERCURY, M-, wol, stiucker on either side of the label, 15.- Euro Raunchy 60's uptempo stomper with a drummer getting wicked A record that deserves some love from the soul scene and just needs a brave DJ behind it. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/princeharoldbabyyouvegot1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HARRY DEAL & THE GALAXIES: Fonky, Fonky * ECLIPSE, M-, 12.- Euro Slick funk instrumnetal hidden away on the B-side of a mediocre ballad. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/harrydealfonky.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WILLIE GAUFF & THE LOVE BROTHERS: Communicate Not Hate * EUREKA; M-, 12.- 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. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/williegauffcommunicate.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AARON NEVILLE: A Hard Nut To Crack * PARLO, M-, 12.- Euro Super nice 670's soul dancer by New Orleans' golden voice "Art" Aaron Neville. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/aaronnevillehardnutto12.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 then all the stupid useless reissues flooding the market these days. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/hotbushrtellme.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE ISLEY BROTHERS: Between The Sheets * TNeck, VG++, 12.- Euro Mellow boogie, bedrooom soul, one of the most sampled grooves ever... whatever you say about this, it's an infectious groover by the Isleys and always nice to have the original. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/isleysbetweenthe.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BILLY STEWART: I'm In Love (Oh, Yes I Am) / Crazy `Bout You Baby * CHESS, drill hole in lbl, M-, 12.- Euro Two fantastic sides of Windy City soul on this shiny clean Chess issue. Billy Stewart could sing the phone book and sound great. American high culture for the price of two pints. What's not to like? soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/billystewartiminlove.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/billystewartcrazybout.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE RADIANTS: Hold On * CHESS, M-, drill hole in lbl, 10.- Euro Extra clean copy of this uptempo 60's dancer.

Anyway, this is the first local issue of this fine ballad and they later on recorded two immense Modern Soul anthems: "Signs Of A Dying Love" and "If You Can't Tell Me Something Good". soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/markivhoneyistill.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ISLEY BROTHERS: Behind A Painted Smile * TAMLA MOTOWN, made in Germany, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve: VG+, 10.- Euro German picture sleeve issue of this great Motown 60's dancer on thick vinyl and in great shape! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/isleysbehindapainted.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Edited August 11 by Docfish
