Drifters – Baby what I mean – Atlantic 2366 M- £15 (My first encounter of this stormer was on a video of a Leicester all-nighter. Discovering tunes for yourself came in many forms. Fantastic outing from one of the best crossing genre groups ever) Elliott Small – Stay in my heart – Bang 570 M- £25 (Great little dancer, on what appears to be the national release following ‘Grandpa Elliotts’ local release on NOLAs New Sound Label. Heavily influenced by the ‘Big Q’ Wardell Quezergue) Lou Rawls – Dead end street – Capitol 5869 M- £20 (Wow, fantastic spoken intro, captures the imagination, building you up for the main show, brilliant gritty soul. LA pressing) Lou Rawls – Show business / When love goes wrong – Capitol 5942 Promo M- £25 (Absolutely captivating Soul of the highest order, a glimpse into Lou’s world. Flip it over for a rasping R&B dancer. Nice on yellow promo) Bobby Moore’s Rhythm Aces feat. Chico – Try my love again – Checker 1156 M- £20 (Simple Soul always hits the mark, no overindulgence here in vocal, backing and pace, absolutely gorgeous floater. West coast Monarch pressing with drill hole) Flirtations – Nothing but a heartache / How can you tell me – Deram 85038 M- £20 (Class, class, class, 2 fantastic sides and after all these years the group and their songs appear right up there on my best of the best list. Styrene Terre Haute pressing) Bobby Bland – Getting used to the blues – Duke 421 Promo M- £15 (Soul perfection personified. Languid but rich vocals, carried along on a steady drumbeat, gently bolstered by heavenly horns. Classic) Parfays – You got a good thing goin’ boy – Fontana 1526 Ex+ £30 (Punchy femme group dancer, launched on a deep horn intro, beautiful track, such a catchy vocal. Similar feel to Candy & Kisses. Drill hole) Knights & Arthur – Lovin’ you baby – Landa 2 Ex £25 (Catchy under the radar male group dancer, brilliant harmonies and backing, Kenny Gamble on the credits) Valons – You’re something special – Mark III 450 Ex £50 (Steady mid-tempo from New Jersey written by Harold Thomas, responsible for the likes of Roy Redmond – Ain’t that terrible, Rose Valentine – I’ve gotta know right know and the Harry Starr - Another time flip Step into my world, among others, quite some credentials) Nat Wright – Mr. Love – Mercury 72980 WD M- £20 (In your face dancer on a pristine white demo) Formations – Lonely voice of love – MGM 13963 M- £60 (Now they’ve got to the ‘Top pf the stairs’ and looking back down over the balcony, they deliver an atmospheric expression of sorrowful Soul. Ignoring the melodramatic harp intro, the lead vocalist Jerry Adkins excels on a strong beat. Household names Gamble and Huff, and Johnny Madara credited on this beauty. Lovely MGM gold and blue stock copy, not common at all for this release, never sold on DISCOGs) Mitch Ryder – You get your kicks – New Voice 830 M- £20 (Every car journey I make this is my pull away play, monster intro and foot to the floor pounder) Third Guitar – Sad girl – Rojac 120 Ex+ £50 (There’s harmonies, and then there’s harmonies. Reminds me of the sort of a cappella you might have heard on a chain gang, awesome tune and I bet well under the radar. Flip to the up-tempo and funky edged ‘Lovin’ lies’, both tracks are poles apart in style, a reflection of the group’s talents. Sad girl form though. Exceptional label design) El Shobey & Company – Never missed what you got / Whole thing – Shout 251 Ex £50 (Appears to be a one release artist, delivering a crossover double header. Fetches much more on DISCOGs for stock and demo copies Minor edge lift, does not affect play). Joe Simon – When – Sound Stage Seven 2667 M- £15 (Top artist, top tune.

PM any questions or to reserve. Ruby Winters – Better – Diamond 230 M- £100 (In the immortal words of one of my Cumbrian mates, ‘I could listen to this till the cows come yam’. From the energetic horn blast intro, exquisite vocals and backing, subtle wafting horn throughout, what a record on a fabulous label. Well done Rene Hall, quality stuff) Otis Brown – Find somebody new – Lujuna 10655 2A Ex £125 (The writer’s own version, and what a polished version it is, same as the growing ever more popular version by the Soulettes on Dud Sound, which when it peaks will see everyone scrabbling for the male version. Light pink label issue) Spyder Turner – I can’t make it anymore / Don’t hold back – MGM 13692 DJ M- £85 (You can understand why this tidy double sider in either demo or stock format has occupied a pole position on the scene for so many years. Unbeatable Northern top side, and I bet its only the ready availability that stopped it being in the same big money league as the rarities. Demo is the must have) Carol Anderson – It shouldn’t happen to a dog – Mid-Town 270 Ex+ £100 (Don’t let the title mislead you, its nowt to do with anything unfortunate befalling a Cockapoo, just a classy mid-tempo Detroit crossover dancer from the girl that gave us ‘Taking my mind off love’ and ‘Sad girl’. I’ve also had a thing for the flip ‘Holding on’. One Z. Hicks involved on both sides, is that Zerben of RCA fame?) Brenda & Boys – I’m on the right track – Motor 765 M- £150 (2 Motown style dancers, with Brenda Holloway on vocals and production by Frank Wilson. Unofficial west coast release of only 50 copies from around 1995) Willie Kendrick – Give me lots of lovin’ / You can’t bypass love – RCA 8947 M- £120 (Another pair of corkers from the wizards at Pied Piper, lovely black stock copy, just a very feint edge lift, DNAP) Ronnie Rae and the Dynamics – Funky shuffle – R.J.R 702 M- £80 (Ignore the title, it’s got a funky edge and a tidy little dancer) Soundbreakers – Trying to get back to you – Symbol WD M- 220 £125 (Catchy dancer out of Sue Records stable, sublime vocal lead and a mix of male and girl backing, lovely stuff and probably under the radar, not to be ignored) Marv Johnson – Come on and stop – UA 617 Ex+ £100 (A fine artist to have been on the books of United Artists and Motown. Can’t believe the wealth of unreleased tracks that Berry let slip for commercial release. Strong hint of Latin on this pulsating Northern dancer, in great company alongside the likes of Doug Banks, David Coleman, Tommy Navarro, Tony Middleton, and stable mates the Wanderers, wow, what a captivating floor filler and wonderful style of Northern Soul) Vernon Garrett – Angel doll – Venture 635 WD M- £75 (All the hallmarks of greatness, a Jobete (Motown) publishing, written by Hitsville legends Stevie Wonder and Clarence Paul. Unreleased stunner by the Temptations, another example of Berry’s fettling, why oh why oh why, but then Vern does a grand job and the girly back elevates his cover. Beautiful demo) George Jackson – I found what I wanted – Verve 10658 E+ £80 (Such an understated crossover track from an artist with more than a dash of southern states tone to his voice, this soulful gem is as smooth as a baby’s bum) Magicians – Is it all gone – Villa 704 M- £150 (Superb west coast soul group, one of several out of the brilliant ‘Villa’ stable. Very accomplished lead vocal, supported expertly by the harmonies backing. It will never escape the shadow of ‘Love, let’s try again’ but none the less, a cracking west coast dancer. Lovely copy, condition, condition, condition) PayPal by friends or add 4% please, or I can send bank details.

A right tidy selection up for grabs this evening, mix of classics, in-demand and obscure. Can hold until pay day if needed. Happy to send additional images or sound files, please PM any questions or to reserve. Startones – Lovin’ you baby - Billie Fran 001 Ex £700 (My favourite source for Soul, Texas, offering yet another soul charger, which remains hard to turn up, especially in decent condition. One of many labels, and a very iconic design, owned by the magnate ‘Major Bill Smith’. Don’t think I’ve seen another release from them, so like many remain a bit of a mystery. Edge lift does not affect play) O.C. Smith – On easy street – Columbia 43809 M- £150 (Sublime smooth soul dancer, rarer stock copy in lovely condition, sticker residue on flip label) Tommy Navarro – I cried my life away – De-Jac 1253 M- £350 (As the Big City Soul YouTube video says, “Up there with the monsters, and so it is, an absolutely fabulous Latin tinged soul shuffler that gets the hair on the back of my neck up every time, spectacular label, bell sound stamped original) Rufus Lumley – I’m standing – Holton 5001 M- £300 (Thumping dancer on the machine stamped original) Volumes – The trouble I’ve seen / That same old feeling – Impact 1017 Ex+ £275 (Detroit double sider at its best, 2 top quality tracks by on the best Northern groups, on a rarer red stock copy) Rose Battiste – Hit and run / I miss my baby – Revilot 204 WD Ex+ £500 (Detroit double header of epic proportions, can’t split these 2 sides, both equally good. A very tiny date in biro on ‘miss’ label. Plays and looks better than Ex+, just being conservative) Chuck Wood – Seven days is too long – Roulette 4754 WD Ex+ £150 (Out and out dancer, thunderous tune that made for in car listening cruising the roads. Fabulous demo, slight wave on edge DNAP) Fabulous Nu-Tones – Our love was destined to be – White House 5002 M- £450 (Re-released on the Swing City label for William “Smoke” Howard’s appearance at Prestatyn in 2009. The original is very hard to come by that’s for sure, and oddly references William as “Honey Dripper”, so maybe a change in career direction after this 1967 Memphis release. The flip’s slow and not up my street, but the top side, wow, we are entering uncharted territory with this superb under the radar male group dancer out of Memphis, its obscure but so familiar, kicking off with those high piano notes, almost the same lead in as the Fantastic 4’s “Can’t stop looking”, and the remainder is as good as many a male group rarity I’ve heard. Clean vinyl, labels and such a fresh accomplished sound. Gorgeous label logo. No picture sleeve which does exist.

Has some feint letters on top label, and feint ink imprint on the flip having been laid on a newly printed label) Startones – Lovin’ you baby - Billie Fran 001 Ex £700 (My favourite source for Soul, Texas, offering yet another soul charger, which remains hard to turn up, especially in decent condition. One of many labels, and a very iconic design, owned by the magnate ‘Major Bill Smith’. Don’t think I’ve seen another release from them, so like may remain a bit of a mystery. Edge lift does not affect play) Charles Diamond – No one can take your place – Breakthrough 81582 Ex £200 (Alternative take that gives the "Inspirations" a run for their money. Some light marks on run in but no effect on play) Don Ray – Born a loser – RCA 9438 Promo Ex £225 (Stereo-typical Northern styled dancer from the vast RCA catalogue, always a favourite. Flip label has wear) Rose Battiste – Hit and run / I miss my baby – Revilot 204 WD Ex+ £525 (Detroit double header of epic proportions, can’t split these 2 sides, both equally good.

Just the one highly regarded disc for now. PM for any additional images, sound file or to reserve. William Cummings - Make my love a hurting thing - Bang Bang 348 Ex+ £2500 If this went on forever, I wouldn’t mind one little bit, so forgive me when I say as brilliant as it is it leaves me wanting more at 2:12 minutes long. Recorded at Rodel Studio, this short lived Washington DC label has links to the Richmond, Virginia soul set. Cummings himself was a trombonist in Zeke and the Soul Setters band, but clearly had enough about him to propel the strong vocals needed into battle with the bursting horn fanfares that coarse through this monumental Northern dancer. The question is of course, did he skip between the role of lead and blowing brass for all he was worth! Doesn’t come to market often, and in fact my 2nd copy, replacing the first having suffered the usual years of regret. A tough decision to let this one go, BUT as the story goes for many, I need another 45 more! Vinyl original of course, one small light mark, which a previous owner appears to have used biro to cover up, and a very feint edge wave, neither of which affect play in any way at all. Call me a spotter but the appeal is added to by clean rich plum label with intricate silver print layout. Looks great and plays beautifully. Fully insured postage will be included. PayPal by friends please, or add 4%, alternatively I can send bank details. Cheers, Lee
