HERE'S ALL MY LATEST ARRIVALS PLUS A FEW REDUCED THINGS

SHAWN ROBINSON - MY DEAR HEART - MINIT ISSUE EX- 175

The tough issue, marking it as EX- because of light crackle right at the very start, otherwise perfect

THE CHESTERFIELDS - YOU WALKED AWAY - PHILIPS ISSUE M 250 SOLD

This is a truly incredible copy, I doubt if it had been played before I tested it out, beautiful pristine black labels and not a mark on the vinyl. Possibly one of the best ever copies offered for sale.

GEORGE & SONNY SANDS - DOWN BY THE OCEAN - NEW VOICE DEMO EX 50 SOLD

Absolutely incredible atmospheric mid tempo, Righteous Brothers style, buy it blind if you don't know it

LAURA GREENE - MOONLIGHT MUSIC IN YOU - RCA DEMO M- 75

Super copy of a classic oldie

THE LOLLIPOPS - LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER - RCA ISSUE EX- 50

Cracking record and here on a very nice black issue. Minor background noise near start

THE BOUQUETS - WECLOME TO MY HEART - BLUE CAT DEMO EX 30

This is a great oldie with strong Detroit connections, recommended

DAVID & REUBEN (THE MAJESTICS) - I LOVE HER SO MUCH IT HURTS ME - WARNER BROS DEMO EX- 125 SOLD

Apart from one click on the intro this is a great copy. The B side does have an audible scratch on it though.

THE SPANDELLS - SAY NO GIRL - DIMENSION DEMO EX- 30

Great little girl group dancer

RONNIE FORTE - THAT WAS WHISKEY TALKING - TARX EX 125

Fantastic Wigan oldie - B side had a bit more play so EX-

BILLY T SOUL - CALL ON BILLY - MUSICOR DEMO EX 30

Nice old 100 Club stomper

THE FI-DELS - TRY A LITTLE HARDER - KEYMEN M- 125 SOLD

One of the greatest records ever to emerge from the West Coast and now impossible to find as an original in this condition

WILLIE WILLIAMS - HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PLAYED FOR A FOOL - ABC DEMO EX 75

Classic reactivated oldie going way back to the Torch/Cats days

THE MODS - DRY MY EYES - FONA VG+ 150 SOLD

The reason I'm pricing this at 150 is because despite numerous surface marks (weird ones, not scratches) it plays almost mint, no clicks, nothing - and also for the fact that I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one for sale.

THE PERSIONETTES - IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY / CALL ON ME - OR DEMO M- 40

Don't you just love it when people reserve records than never send for them? Been holding this for 3 weeks for someone. Cheers.

WENDY RENE - BAR B Q - STAX DEMO VG+ 25

Nice white demo. Odd pop and click but plays nice and loud.

THE TEEN TURBANS - WE NEED TO BE LOVED - LOMA M- 50

Great oldie, never really had it's day

THE VALA-QUONS - WINDOW SHOPPING ON GIRLS AVENUE - TRC DEMO M- 50

I love this, always buy it when I see it, people now banging on about the B side I Wanna Woman which is good, but not as good as the Jobete published A side

RAY CHARLES - I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR - UK HMV EX 50

An almost untouched UK stock copy - beautiful

JOHNNY ACEY - I GO INTO ORBIT - FLING VG++ 20

Not sure what possessed me to buy this, must have thought it was something else! Very bluesy mid tempo R&B sound. Not sure if it's a dj copy or not, black and white labels.

LEFTOVERS FROM PREVIOUS WEEKS

BLACK EYED PEAS - SMALLEST MAN ALIVE - ULTRA CITY M- 75

Great stuff from the original owners of the name!

SAM FLETCHER - I'D THINK IT OVER - TOLLIE EX 250

Lovely stock copy

MALCOLM HAYES - I CAN'T MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU / BABY PLEADE DON'T LEAVE ME - OKEH DEMO EX 75

Really surprised this didn't go last week - it's now half the book price

MAURICE WILLIAMS - RETURN - SEA HORN EX 50

Good New Orleans dancer

ROCK CANDY - ALONE WITH NO LOVE - DONTEE VG++ 50 SOLD

Yellow label, plays great, why's it still here?

ROY HAMILTON - EARTHQUAKE - EPIC DEMO VG 30

Looks a little on the rough side, plays nice and loud, crackly for first 20 seconds, it'd be fine for djing

JOE TEX - ALL THE HEAVEN A MAN REALLY NEEDS - DIAL M- 25

Well I listed this for a fiver the other week and was consequently told it was being played and was no longer a fiver, but I was true to my word, sold it for a fiver, then the buyer said he was sending it back because it jumped 5 times. So it came back, I played it, and it played mint. So not sure what that was all about. Anyway it's for sale again but it's not a fiver this time...

HERE'S A TIP FOR YOU...

Anyone who likes Jamaican r&b, have a look for a record by PATSY called FIND SOMEONE, it came out in the UK on High Note HS 037 in 1970 as the B side to a skinhead instrumental, "Target" by The Gaytones. It was actually recorded much earlier, I'd have said 64-65 and is a really unusual sound, it's got a kind of lolloping r&b brass backing with a solid beat, I sold mine years ago but always looked out for it and I remembered it when someone posted it in the Jamaican R&B section on Soul Source as an unknown...got it straight away. It's still up there in that section if anyone wants to hear it. Mine's only in VG- condition but I think I'd ask £100 for it now, but do look out for it, it's great.
