Mell Hueston on Cez Vista..."a solid Detroiter". and Calif.Malibus on M&M..."potential is frankly obvious". I have one of each...both near mint...£75 each + £10 P&P. UK Lloyds bank transfer or PayPal (+4%) Enjoy the descriptions from Manship's auctions at the beginning of June this year: Mell Hueston Searching C/w I Need Some Loving Now here's a seldom-seen oddity that I'm always pleased to meet up with, because I just adore BOTH sides. So why is it odd? The label references Los Angeles, this is a solid Detroiter; a Walter Whisenhunt session, the husband of Gloria Taylor; who always delights with his consistently tight precise fluid productions, but the L. A. address and co-producer, a mysterious Casablanca puzzles. What doesn't puzzle one iota is what's in the grooves - "Searching" is a superb version of Willie Hatcher's Groovesville session - flip it over to be met by a Detroit instrumental that just drips with the City's Sound and era. Two strong sides - seldom seen for sale and another 45 underlining just how much untapped quality is rare but acquirable, for the NS jock to give more than just a cursory turntable outing to. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 190.00 Calif. Malibus Love In My Life C/w I Stand Alone Anyone remember the larger than life character Bob Catteneo aka Daly City Bob. A soul-collector turned dealer who's Bay Area establishment Soul Odyssey carved the future of so many fledgling Brit dealers. (Mine included) Bob would source and dispatch all California new soul releases many of which became UK All-Niter monsters, some which slept for a few years to emerge decades later at purist venues like Soul Essence or The Orwell. Some today still lay in the most complete of Europe's Soul collections having had little or no club exposure. This example, has over the years visited all 3 scenarios. In the year 2012 this 1976 Daly City immigrant is elusive and loaded with all the ingredients for aNS renaissance. Take listen, it is instant 70s Soulful dance with a flipside that will delight the Sweet Soul sucker. Potential is frankly obvious... Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 148.00

OK, first and foremost, this one did not come via his son, who sold those recent-press acetates a few years ago on here (whatever happened to him in the end?). This track was also not in his possession/files, is totally unreleased and not available anywhere else...a true exclusive. This acetate came from John Anderson almost a decade ago, so is guaranteed 100% original. It is on a 10" Roosevelt Music publishers acetate (see pic attached) and is in great condition...no flaking and plays mint, loud and proud. It was recorded mid-60s (at a guess) at Allegro Studios 1650 Broadway NYC and comes complete with the original typed lyric sheet - words by Jimmy Radcliffe and Buddy Scott. It is called, 'BREAKAWAY'...no it is nothing to do with the classic track/lyric of the same name by Jimmy on UA. This track is a complete take at 2:06 long and an uptempo (not manic!) solid NYC Soul tune of that era. Northern Soul in style...rattling tambourines, guitar breakdowns, catchy chorus and an uncredited male vocal group behind him as well. An Ideal DJ exclusive and strong enough to play at a nighter, and of course wonderful for home use...great vocal performance. An edited soundfile is available to serious enquiries only. £1000...and I'll cover the courier fees!

The Debonaires - Ah-La-La - B&F: Chicago 1961...manic Delcos-style Latin group Soul! I know it has been reproed...how dio you tell an original from a bootleg? Are the originals on red vinyl? TIA
