Clarence Reid, Steve Alaimo and Willie Clarke on the controls. Florida soul to die for! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jimmybohorneifyouwant.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx OTTO DE ROJAS Y LOS ULTRAS 76: Al Ritmo De Bump Bump * RCA; made in Peru, VG-, 30.- Euro Latin funk bomp only released in Peru.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THESE GENTS: Yesterday Standing By * SOULVATION ARMY; M-, 25.- Euro Fantastic sweet group soul and still cheap.

Written by Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson, produced by Curtis Mayfield and arranged again by Donny Hathaway. And Nolan Chance isn't too shabby either as a singer. This is mindblowing good crossover soul on windy city's recordman Eddie Thomas own labe. Heel is a slice of soulmusic at the peak of it's creativity! Highly recomended. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/nolanchanceillnever.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOEY GILMORE: Somebody Done Took My Baby And Gone / Do It To Me One More Time * PHIL-L.A.

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.

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.

But surely a bargain for someone. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/Ottobumbump.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EDDIE HOUSTON: I Can't Go Wrong / That's How Much * CAPITOL, Made in France, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve: VG++, 30.- Euro Fantastic slice of funky R&B on a beautiful looking french artsleeve issue. Top side is an underrated 60's club soul banger, that sounds ace played out loud. Flip it over for a mighty fine deep soul ballad (the actual A-side of this record, but this record will most likely sell for the dance side) soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/eddiehoustonicantgowrong.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/eddiehoustonthatshowmuch1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx RONNIE TAYLOR: I Can't Take It * NASSAU, M-/VG++, 30.- Euro Hard hitting uptempo 60's soul mover out of Columbus / Ohio.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOHNNY SCOTT: Hide & Seek With Me * PORTRA, M-, 30.- Euro Cool Memphis 60's soul double sider.

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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyitsmything12.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyballoffire1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOBBY WOMACK: Tried And Convicted * MINIT, M-, 25.- Euro In my humble opinion Bobby Womack's finest 60's recording.

"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.

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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbybennettbignewyork1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbybennettbabytryme1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AARON NEVILLE: All These Things / She's On My Mind * BELL, promo, M-, 20.- Euro, on hold Nola magic on both sides by the big guy Aaaron Neville, blessed with a voice beyond compare.

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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sambakerimnumberone.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sambakeribelievein.mp3 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.

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.

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. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/megatondiggin.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LOVE, PEACE & HAPPINESS: Strip Me Naked * RCA, VG++, 30.- Euro, sold A big favorite for the punters at soul essence and other progressive venues, that features quality over rarity.

Produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson best know for his time during the heydays of Motown.

So here is a rare example of a record, where the price has significantly going down. The promo with "Work, Work, Work" was easy to find, but it was all about the issue with "Chosen One" on the flipside; a fine crossover sound and pretty indemand back then. Anyway, it's still a great record and cheap for the phenomenal musical content. And the trick is, to buy records against the trend, it safes you big bucks and keeps you from being called a "hotboxer". soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bwandthework.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bwandthechosenone.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CHANGE: The Glow Of Love * RFC, VG, plays great, 25.- Euro, sold Awesome Modern Soul with vocals by Luther Vandross.

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. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyitsmything12.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/marvawhitneyballoffire1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BOBBY WOMACK: Tried And Convicted * MINIT, M-, 25.- Euro In my humble opinion Bobby Womack's finest 60's recording.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE PALLBEARERS: Gettin' Fired Up * FONTANA, promo, M-, 20.- Euro Action packed blue eyed soul dancer with a lot of Northern potential.

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. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/megatondiggin.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "DOC" & THE INTERNS: Baby I Know / We Can Work It Out * NOW, M-, 35.- Euro, sold Extra clean copy of this excellent double header with two equally good 60's dance sides.

Produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson best know for his time during the heydays of Motown. This is Willard King's debut from 1973 and only the rare soul scene keeps talented guys like this from being forgotten. Some mild crackles, but nothing, that should distract you from listening to a masterpiece of 70's Detroit soul. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/willardkingladybe.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ATG: Dancin' Lady * SANSU, M-, mild dish warp not affecting play at all, 30.- Euro Excellent early 80's dancer from the vaults of New Orleans Sansu label soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/atgdancinlady1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CHANGE: The Glow Of Love * RFC, VG, plays great, 25.- Euro Awesome Modern Soul with vocals by Luther Vandross.

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.

Anyway, this is as good as it gets and the flip is a facemelting ballad, that alone should make you buy this.

That absolutely makes sense Sebastian. I've got this acetate here, including the original sleeve it was send in and I have a couple more 45s and acetates on the label. Some of the releases on the label are musically really good, but most sound like they where recorded under a blanket. There's a Philly guy, whose name escapes me right now, who collects the label. He might have more information.

Ray Crumley was the lead singer for the Solid Gold Revue, who recorded an incredible rare and great LP and he had 3 releases on Alarm records, that are all worth checking out. This is pure dancefloor dynamite, that got ignored by all major jocks for reasons unknown to me.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE SPINNERS: I'll Always Love You * MOTOWN, M-, 30.- Euro Shiny clean copy of this beautiful Motown dancer from 1965. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/spinnersillalaways.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PACE-SETTERS: Push On Jessie Jackson / Freedom And Justice * KENT, M-, 25.- Euro Funky edged soul with a message, that recently crossed over to more open minded Northern Soul dos.

Former Impressions singer Jerry Butler teamed up with Gamble and Huff and so much talent in a recording studio resulted in two magnificient songs. The uptempo side "Lost" and the mindboggling ballad on the flip. Way rarer promo copy, the "Lost" side has a kind of pressing flaw in the run-out-grooves which keeps it from being Mint, both sides play flawlessly and 5 bucks for either side seems like a baragin to me. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jerrybutlerlost.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jerrybutleryoudontknow.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ORANGE SUNSHINE: Who's Cheating On Who * PRODIGAL, promo, M-, 10.- Euro Superb funky cheapo produced by Don Boddie of Boddie records fame.

Sophisticated midtempo group soul by the fantastic Topics, who recorded a string of mindblowing records between 1966 and 1987 for Carnival, Noodles and other labels and released a legendary LP on the tax scam label TSG owned by Lloyd Price. Anyway, a clean copy of a true masterpiece and the flipside (the actual A-side) should get some attention too as it's a brilliant sweet soul number. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicsbookingup.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicsgivingup.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx REACHERS: I Just Want To Do My Own Thing * MAGIC DISC, M-, 600.- Euro, on hold Uptempo Modern Soul for the dancefloor and a record, that rarely comes to market.

So, what you see here is an unreleased slice of 60's dance soul, that only exists as an original acetate and in very limited numbers on this great sounding reissue. Not sure, if these are the Detroit Precisions, they don't sound motorcity-like to my ears, but whoever this is, it's mindblowing good 60's dance soul. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionstreason.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/precisionsmeandmy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979.

This copy is slightly wounded with a couple of marks on the playing surface, but plays surprisingly well and it goes without saying, that it's priced accordingly to it's slightly used condition.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AARON NEVILLE: All These Things / She's On My Mind * BELL, promo, M-, 25.- Euro Nola magic on both sides by the big guy Aaaron Neville, blessed with a voice beyond compare.

Diamond Joe recorded some fabulous 60's side for Sansu records and is surely one of the most underrated vocalists from the the Big Easy.

How can a band be that tight? How can someone sing like Bobby Bland? Why has this record been ignored by soul collectors? Why doesn't it cost 500 bucks? Anyway, this is as good as it gets and the flip is a facemelting ballad, that alone should make you buy this. Vinyl is shiny and clean, but has a surface mark from start to finish; the good news is, that it doesn't sound at all. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbyblandimsorry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bobbyblandifyoucould.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx VARETTA DILLARD: I'm Gonna Tell My Daddy * GROOVE, VG, 20.- Euro, on hold Bargain price for a nice playing, but slightly wounded copy of this R&B banger from 1956.

A 70's dancer, that sounds like 3 figures, a label design by an unknown maestro and the song was published by "Joyfully Sad Music" /what a name for a publishing company!), honestly, what more do you want? soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/donnygerardhesalways1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ORANGE SUNSHINE: Who's Cheating On Who * PRODIGAL, promo, M-, 10.- Euro Superb funky cheapo produced by Don Boddie of Boddie records fame.

It has that certain "tighten up"-feel to it and borrows heavily from the immortal "soulful strut" by Young Holt Unlimited.

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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE FLIRTATIONS: Nothing But A Hartache * DERAM, strong VG, 30.- Euro, sold Great playing copy of his classic 60's mover. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/flirtationsnothingbut.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE WINSTONS: Color Him Father / Amen, Brother * METROMEDIA, VG+, sticker on label, 25.- Euro, sold Two contrasting and great sides on this.

The Masqueraders where unable to make a bad record, but never reached the status of the Temptations or The O'Jays although they definitely could compete with all of the super groups of the classic era.

Here he is with one of his few uptempo songs, that found it's way to the Northern Soul hall of fame.

The featured side offers something completely unique to my ears. I would call this "Free Soul"; a freaky kind of ballad, thart meanders between the genres, but is still a facemelting slice of soulmusic. Flipside is a funky Modern Soul bomb and the record will probably sell for this side. Ohio funk and soul from the top shelf, a really tough pull and if the vocoder fueled funk from Zapp means something to you, here is where it all started. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/rogerandthebeenthis.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/rogerandthebearing.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DEE CLARK: That's My Girl * CONSTELLATION, VG+ to VG++, 100.- Euro A Windy City Northern Soul Oldie in nice nick. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/deeclarkthatsmy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx BIG ELLA: It Takes A Lot Of Loving (To Satisfy Me) * LO LO, VG+, 80.- Euro, sold Powerhouse female funky soul dancer, that never fails to get the dancers up. A DJ-essential.

Actually without this spot this copy would be in VG++ condition. The wicked Pickett right before he became one of soulmusic biggest stars with a pounding uptempo dancer. A record, that almost has a Ska-beat underneath and how nice does it look in it's original Verve distribution sleeve? soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/wilsonletmebeyourboy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979. Top side is on the rare LP by Lee McDonald as well, but the 7" provides a different mix compared to the LP-take. Flip it over for a beautiful slow jam. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldgottagethome.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldshowme1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WILLIE TEE: Sweet Thing / Man That I Am * GATUR, VG++, H2O damaged labels, 60.- Euro, sold Awesome funky soul by New Orleans legend Willie Tee on his own Gatur label.

It's not a dancer, it's not deep soul, it's simply a generic Memphis soul 45 with immense intensity and a wonderful Willie Mitchell arrangement and Ann Peebles husband, Don Bryant, wrote this masterpiece. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/tonyashleyicantput1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE FOREVERS: What Goes Around (Comes Around) * WEIS, VG++, 40.- Euro Grubby, water damaged labels, but nice shiny vinyl on this floorshaking late 60's dancer with a banging Andre Williams production. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/foreverswhatgoes.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SMOKE: Oh Love * MO-SOUL, M-, "x" on lbl, 40.- Euro, sold Awesome 70's soul dancer produced by satin-soul-maestro Barry White. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/smokeohlove.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FREDDIE SCOTT: (You) Got What I Need * SHOUT, strong VG, drill hole in lbl, 35.,- Euro, sold Slightly wounded, but great playing, copy of this essential slice of funky soul, that kicks of with a sample of Biz Markie's immortal "Just A Friend". Half price on this as it's just VG, but still more then good for DJing as the saying goes. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/freddiescottyougotwhat.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DEE DEE WARWICK: Do It With All Your Heart * BLUE ROCK, VG, 35.- Euro, drill hole in lbl Slightly wounded, but good playing copy of this superb 60's dancer by Dionne Warwick's younger sister Dee Dee. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/deedeewarwickdoit1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z.Z. HILL: Don't Make Promises (You Can't Keep) / Set Your Sights Higher * KENT, Promo, VG+, "x" on lbl flipside, 35.- Euro, sold Z. Z.'s best soul record by far; two magnificiants sides to chose from and the guy recorded a shit load of fine records between 1963 and 1995. "Don't make Promises" shares the same backintrack as Eddie Rey's "I've Got Something Of Value", but "Don't Make Promises" is way better and much cheaper too. This is the rarer promo, the vinyl has light marks and plays excellent. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/zzhilldontmakepromis.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/zzhillsetyoursights.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UNITED VOICE BLACK WHITE FAMILY: Make It Last * UNITED VOICE, M-, 30.- Euro Great early 70's gospel message song with a crossover feel to it. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/unitedvoicemakeit.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERROLL GAYE & THE IMAGINATIONS: Love And Affection / You Don't Want my Love * STEEL TOWN; M-, 30.- Euro One side soulful and uptempo, flip it over for a great sweet side.

My answer will be Eldridge Holmes, he is one of the greatest unsong heroes of the Big Easy with this record being no exception. "Let's Go Steady" is a perfect midtempo dancer, lurking into crossover territory and totally underplayed. Check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/eldridgeholmesletsgo.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ANDREW JEFFERIES: Not Like Just Any Girl / Slipped Into A Groove * QUEEN, M-, 30.- Euro Two mighty fine 70's soul sides back to back, co-produced by Chicago's Simtec Simmons. It's mastered by "Audio Labs", a company in Chicago, so this is most likely a windy city sound. Not widely known and nothing that you see everyday. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/andrewjeffereiesnotlike.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/andrewjefferieslippedinto.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERNIE SHELBY: Right Here Where You Left Me / Carry Me * POLYDOR, M-, wol, 40.- Euro Two great sides on this Polydor issue. The flipside "Right Here Where You Left Me" is my personal favouritre from the two, written by George Soule and Terry Woodford and recorded at Quinvy Studios in Sheffield Alabama. "Carry Me" is co-penned by Phillip Mitchell. I scanned the "Carry Me"-side as it has some significant writings on the label, the flipside label is clean. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbyrighthere1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbycarryme.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERNIE SHELBY: Punish Me / Bend Over Backwards * POLYDOR, M-, mild storage warp, 30.- Euro Polydor's A&R man for soulmusic definitely had good taste, some great records came out on this major label. Most of them didn't sell at all and are highly collectable these days. Especially the issues, that in many cases have the better track on it then the mono/stereo promos. Here we have an overlooked Muscle Shoals production co-written by Phillip Mitchell (flipside is co-written by George Soule, who also played drums on both sides) and produced by Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford. Two stunning southern soul sides by a guy, who only released six 45s in his career soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbypunishme.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbybendover.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "LITTLE" JOHNNY BLAIR: Momma's Gone * HOUSE OF THE FOX, VG+, 30.- Euro Pounding slice of funky edged Northern Soul, action packed, super soulful and so much better than most of the big ticket items. Check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/littlejohnnyblairmomma1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ARTIE CHRISTOPHER: My Baby's Crying / Don't Try It Again * 5-HIGH, VG++, 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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE APOSTLES: Six Pack * KAPP, VG+, 20.- Euro An action packed funk song about beer, well about 6 beers to be precise!

Excellent group harmonies on two superb songs. If only the engineer wouldn't be half deaf and had better recording equipment, but all copies sound like they where recorded under a blanket and if you want this, you have to live with the fact, that this is the mother of what they call Lo-Fi-Soul. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/significnatsimlovingtoo.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/significantsonekindness.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE SOULETTES: Find Somebody New * DUD SOUND, M-, 450.- Euro, sold Rare sweet Chicago soul on Oscar Coleman's Dud Sound output.

Actually without this spot this copy would be in VG++ condition. The wicked Pickett right before he became one of soulmusic biggest stars with a pounding uptempo dancer. A record, that almost has a Ska-beat underneath and how nice does it look in it's original Verve distribution sleeve? soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/wilsonletmebeyourboy.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MILL EVANS: When I'm Ready * TOU-SEA; promo, sticker on lbl, M-, 75.- Euro Mislabeled copy, that has a sticker with the correct title on it (see picture). Excellent Chicago soul, that ended up on Marshall Seahorn and AllenToussaint's label in New Orleans. How the hell did that happen? Anyway, great atmospheric 60's dance soul and a favourite of the Northern Soul crowd for good reason. Check the soundbyte for a blast from the past! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/millevanswhenimready.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979. Top side is on the rare LP by Lee McDonald as well, but the 7" provides a different mix compared to the LP-take.

Two fantastic sides, that stand the test of time. I personally prefer the flipside, but the featured side is the DJ choice for most jocks.

Top side is a nice funky dancer, while the flip goes for a soulful slower pace. Strange enough, most of the 70's Polydor Issue releases are rare, probably because they where destroyed to make room in their warehouses. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/vaneeseletmein.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/vaneeseimlosingyou.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE ORIGINAL BREED: The Prophet / I'm Somebody * KAROL, M-, 40.- Euro, sold Clean copy of this superb crossover soul winner with an ovverlooked social aware ballad flipside. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/originalbreedtheprophet.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/originalbreediamsomebody.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z.Z. HILL: Don't Make Promises (You Can't Keep) / Set Your Sights Higher * KENT, Promo, VG+, "x" on lbl flipside, 35.- Euro Z. Z.'s best soul record by far; two magnificiants sides to chose from and the guy recorded a shit load of fine records between 1963 and 1995. "Don't make Promises" shares the same backintrack as Eddie Rey's "I've Got Something Of Value", but "Don't Make Promises" is way better and much cheaper too. This is the rarer promo, the vinyl has light marks and plays excellent. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/zzhilldontmakepromis.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/zzhillsetyoursights.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TONY OWENS: Woman, I Got To Leave You * SANSU, M-, 40.- Euro, sold Great New Orleans 70's dancer, way underarretd and something, that would sound great in every Modern room.

Joe Bataan's take on the Gil Scott-Heron classic is nothing less then a DJ-essential, while the flipside is an overlooked midtempo beauty. You need the issue of this, as the promo copies are on styrene and only the issues are on proper DJ-friendly vinyl. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/joebataanthebottle.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/joebataanfunkymambo.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UNITED VOICE BLACK WHITE FAMILY: Make It Last * UNITED VOICE, M-, 30.- Euro Great early 70's gospel message song with a crossover feel to it. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/unitedvoicemakeit.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ANGELA DAVIS & REUBIN FISHER: Time Don't Wait On No One * FLAMING ARROW, M-, 30.- Euro, on hold To the best of my knowledge this record wasn't in the Flaming Arrow / Crow haul from a few years back and it's a great Detroit crossover mover and despite an obscure live LP from 1986 Angela Davis' duet partner Reuben Fisher is an unknown to the soul collecting world. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/angeladavistimedont.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ANDREW JEFFERIES: Not Like Just Any Girl / Slipped Into A Groove * QUEEN, M-, 30.- Euro Two mighty fine 70's soul sides back to back, co-produced by Chicago's Simtec Simmons. It's mastered by "Audio Labs", a company in Chicago, so this is most likely a windy city sound. Not widely known and nothing that you see everyday. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/andrewjeffereiesnotlike.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/andrewjefferieslippedinto.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERNIE SHELBY: Right Here Where You Left Me / Carry Me * POLYDOR, M-, wol, 40.- Euro Two great sides on this Polydor issue. The flipside "Right Here Where You Left Me" is my personal favouritre from the two, written by George Soule and Terry Woodford and recorded at Quinvy Studios in Sheffield Alabama. "Carry Me" is co-penned by Phillip Mitchell. I scanned the "Carry Me"-side as it has some significant writings on the label, the flipside label is clean. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbyrighthere1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbycarryme.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ERNIE SHELBY: Punish Me / Bend Over Backwards * POLYDOR, M-, mild storage warp, 30.- Euro Polydor's A&R man for soulmusic definitely had good taste, some great records came out on this major label. Most of them didn't sell at all and are highly collectable these days. Especially the issues, that in many cases have the better track on it then the mono/stereo promos. Here we have an overlooked Muscle Shoals production co-written by Phillip Mitchell (flipside is co-written by George Soule, who also played drums on both sides) and produced by Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford. Two stunning southern soul sides by a guy, who only released six 45s in his career soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbypunishme.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ernieshelbybendover.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE VANGUARDS: Somebody Please / I Can't Use You Girl * WHIZ, VG to VG+, wol, 25.- Euro Affordable sweet soul goodie from this Indianapolis based band, who recorded a handful of highly collectable 45s for the Lamp label.

Check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/littlejohnnyblairmomma1.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ARTIE CHRISTOPHER: My Baby's Crying / Don't Try It Again * 5-HIGH, VG++, 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." soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristophermybabyscry.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/artiechristopherdonttry.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE APOSTLES: Six Pack * KAPP, VG+, 25.- Euro An action packed funk song about beer, well about 6 beers to be precise!
