THE PRECISIONS - SUGAR AIN'T SWEET - DREW (E+) OIRO £10,000

WOW!!! Now let's get serious. You are looking at one of the all time rarest original northern soul 45's in existence. Rumoured to have to have been pulled from release due to a pressing fault causing a skip. We can categorically confirm that that such urban myths are not the case. This E+ copy, by far the best copy of the two, possibly three copies known to exist, plays beautifully from start to finish, clear and bright in every sense. This record is classic dead centre uptempo Detroit northern of the highest quality. An iconic piece, rank confidently in the top 3 of impossible to obtain, and this is the copy to acquire being gorgeous in condition. guarantied exclusivity and kudos all the way, and unlike Frank Wilson, its not overplayed , how could it be, no one has it. The flip is a haunting mid-tempo number echoing a mood similar to another of their releases 'Such Misery', popular in the late Wigan era. The chance of ever seeing this piece available again are remote.

THE BEE JAYS - TOO FOND OF YOU B/W HOW DO YOU FEEL - J-V (E+) OIRO £5,000

One of the few great and hardly known mid/uptempo group northern 45's. If you like the Magnetics, you're gonna love this one. A storming double header of gigantic proportions. Out of Morristown, Pensilvania comes this amazing release, it's full on northern with harmonies and breaks galore. It's remained rare and I know of only one other copy. In the right hands this is a future monster and destined for greatness. A victim of its own rarity, this killer two-sider is set and ready to go big, a floorpacker in the waiting. If you know this 45, then you will be in no doubt of it's class and rarity. Top drawer and once again, when have you ever seen one for sale. This copy is a strong E+.
