The Ad Libs - Appreciation / Giving Up

UK DEEP SOUL  £25

Vinyl has a slightly cloudy look but nothing that affects the record in any way.

This label paired with the company sleeve is a piece of art in its own right! Probably my all time favourite label/sleeve combination - just beautiful!!

See pics!!

‘Appreaciation’ is great northern

‘Giving up’ is a great slab of deep soul!

Barbara Acklin - Am I The Same Girl

UK MCA (dark/ light blue)

Total classic in UK MCA sleeve (tatty)

Barbara Acklin - Come And See MY Baby / Love Makes A Woman

CORAL (Belgium) 

M- looking lovely MINT CORAL company sleeve (see pics). £25 (date stamp on ‘love’ side label)

‘Come and see my baby’ is a highly recommended big production tune - credits include Gerald Simms & Eugene Record

‘Love makes’ is a nice finger clicker too!

Aleem - Get Loose

STREETWAVE 

M-  £30

The 12” are common but a lot tougher and cleaner on a 7”

I found this great YouTube video of Leroy Burgess talking about the record. The track plays about 30 seconds in.

The Agents - You Were Meant For Me 

‘P and L’ label 

M- £40

Mid paced northern group sound - just a great easy to listen to mid 60’s soul tune

La-Jay Alexander - Say So

BLACK GOLD dj promo

M- £45

Nice M- promo of this quality crossover dancer. This has all the right things in all the right places!!! Never really got the recognition it deserves. Sounds far better than a lot of the more expensive tunes out there!
