MEGATON: Diggin' * DCA, M-, 30.- Euro

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.

ARTIE CHRISTOPHER: My Baby's Crying / Don't Try It Again * 5-HIGH, M-, 30.- Euro

A fantastic deep soul record with an equally great uptempo cut on the flip. 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."

MARVA WHITNEY: It's My Thing / Ball Of Fire * KING, VG+, 20.- Euro

1969 was James Brown finest year, he threw out record after record and every single one is a winner. 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.

Two mindblowing sides from a blaxploitation flick called "The Mack". "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" stands the test of time and sounds as fresh and club-friendly as ever, while slick is what the name of the song might suggest. The ultra-talented Willie Hutch at the peak of his art on this nice looking durtch picture sleeve issue.

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

THE SHARPEES: I've Got A Secret * ONE-DERFUL, strong VG+, drill hole in lbl, tear on label, 20.- Euro

No way to spend 20 Euro better. Excellent Chicago Northern Soul, that sounds like 3 figures to these eras.

soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sharpeesivegotasecret.mp3

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

SAM BAKER: I'm Number One / I Believe In You * SOUND STAGE 7, M-, 20.- Euro

Mighty fine 60's uptempo dancer backed up by facemelting deeps soul cut. Jackson Mississippi born Sam Baker fuels his gospel schooled voice with heartfelt lyrics and natural timing. I always thought he sounds like a gritty Clyde McPhatter and that's surely big compliment.

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.

GEORGE PORTER'S JOYRIDE: Cissy Strut / Sneaky Freaky * DEESU, M-, minor label flaking on flip, minor storage warp, 20.- Euro

TOM AND JERROO: (Papa Chew) Do The Boo-Ga-Loo * JERRY-O, VG++, 20.- Euro

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

PRINCE HAROLD: Baby, You've Got It * MERCURY, M-, wol, stiucker on either side of the label, 15.- Euro

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

BILLY STEWART: I'm In Love (Oh, Yes I Am) / Crazy `Bout You Baby * CHESS, drill hole in lbl, M-, 12.- Euro

THE MARK IV: Honey I Still Love You * NATION-WIDE, VG++, 10.- Euro

Funny to call a label Nation-Wide and then license it to Mercury to get a nation wide distribution. 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".
