Wild Ones featuring Joe Webster - I’ve Been Crying (S.P.Q.R.) Ex £100 Garage meets R&B meets Soul and absolutely bang on for now. Sweet spoken intro and then BOOM 100mph group dancer that should be massive, a set starter if ever there was one. A lovely WD significantly rarer than issue copies and probably the cheapest copy out there (one on Discogs at £200+!) https://youtu.be/oA2tXPbCHjM Morris Gardner - Later Baby (Open) Ex (XOL/WOL see image) £100 Killer R&B / Northern dancer that’s had some exposure over the last few years but still seems criminally overlooked and under the radar. Perfect for revival IMHO.Was £200 not so long ago! https://youtu.be/FUkfUUbb5rY?si=R4G7JyMip3e1hvF3 Willie Hamilton and The Counts - She’s Alright/Cheer Up (HRP) Mint- £75 Another fabulous R&B / Northern dancer that’s still pretty unknown to most (actually had a few plays at Stafford like so many still waiting to be re-discovered), flip it for a funk edged dancer that sounds right for today’s dance floors. Oh and this seems particularly rare given the tiny number that have gone through Discogs and eBay! https://youtu.be/24iTIi129u0?si=eXok3pksT8LZa0c9 https://youtu.be/tzAeZyGWIGk?si=_5oU682UZ_92aMrw Frank Heppinstall - Sweetheart (Polyphonic) Vg £35 Brilliant Mod/Popcorn/R&B dancer. Infectious and not too well known in UK it seems. Vinyl has numerous light marks, plays with light crackle in places. Tough 45 to obtain. https://youtu.be/xUkEdmx9ZLk?si=8sP7w_fIhbjNaGFl Johnny Winter - Gone For Bad (MGM) Vg+£25 Not an easy one to find on local or national release and probably not available any cheaper, lower end of Vg+ but plays better then it looks. Killer under the radar garage soul/R&B with bags of crossover potential! https://youtu.be/e0dTuof-lKo?si=19SdAp8VIUImsj4W PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Candy & The Kisses - Tonight’s The Night (Sceptre WD) Vg++ (couple of small light scuffs from Mint-) £75 Notoriously difficult to find and seemingly forgotten northern oldie that still packs a punch. Available copies? Yes a fair few all well over £150 in anything like decent nick. Probably the cheapest you’ll find a copy anywhere! https://youtu.be/OKpqMePQBYw?si=dTj73EdDamYZ1fmT PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured.

January sale time! A few that are shall we say, lower grade 45s that I’ve ended up with so seems fitting to offer them here in Jan at much reduced rates. You can head be minute clips of the actual records below on my YouTube channel. Compass - You Are The Spring Of My Life/That’s Enough For Me Vg- £15 Couple of killer garage soul/funky crossover sides here and an in demand 45 for those in the know. Sadly it’s a pretty crackly copy with a lot of surface marks, would be £75 in decent nick. Not been cleaned or wood glue treated so may clean up a little. ***HEAR IT*** https://youtube.com/shorts/zcloHTNoNxA?feature=shared https://youtube.com/shorts/0TFEfNNllbc?feature=shared Top Shelf - Stop And Listen/Let Them Keep On Talking (Spectrum) Vg/G+ £15 Funky crossover’Stop’ plays a solid Vg (close to Vg+), sadly the wonderful sweet soul flip is little more than G+, again in decent shape this one books at about £75. As per the above not cleaned or treated in any way so could improve significantly. ***HEAR IT*** https://youtube.com/shorts/60JbeW481bQ?feature=shared https://youtube.com/shorts/WSSP0FTGcKM?feature=shared Bull Morgan And The Rubber Band - Old Woman (Brown Hat) Vg- £15 Killer funky blues/R&B dancer that is spectacularly rare (two copies, in similar shape on Discogs at three figures!) don’t think there are ANY decent condition copies in existence. That said I can’t sell it so here it is in the sale! surely! ***HEAR IT*** https://youtu.be/BTw-pXQTth8?si=kLUxRscmWKxDBjyl Electrons - Ain’t No Big Thing (Shock) Vg- (would be Vg+ but sounds like a small skip at 25-30 seconds in) £10 A shame as this one plays okay on the whole, the skip can probably be sorted although that’s a cost but it’s not been cleaned or wood glue treated so may well disappear once it has been. Don’t think I need to describe the 45 one of the most covered songs in soul music history surely! ***HEAR IT*** https://youtube.com/shorts/TWk-k8bJCm4?feature=shared New Affair - Someone Somewhere (Peppermint) Vg £5 A bit of background noise but not overwhelming on this under the radar sweet soul killer. Not especially expensive (yet) so you can probably pick up a Vg+ for £25 or so. Again not cleaned so might improve. ***HEAR IT*** https://youtube.com/shorts/Ke6FWHxPk2U?feature=shared PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured.

Monique - Truth/No Body’s Baby (Maurci) Mint- £350 Well it was £2k only a year or so ago thanks to significant demand from overseas and the fact that it’s rarely appeared for sale for many years leading to a madness eBay auction price. Of course copies have appeared since (well they would wouldn’t they!) and it’ come down to a more modest figure, although still seems to sell for anywhere between £300-£600. Lovely copy of the much, much rarer ‘magic hat’ design label. Still one of the best records ever IMHO - just sublime and, now the fuss is over, affordable again. Flip is a northern dancer worth noting although isn’t in the same class as her other 45s. https://youtu.be/No2_SW26nqw?si=KI7OvbPk2zPkfA5y PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Gene Toone - Turn To Me (Simco) Vg+ £100 Can’t believe this didn’t sell last time out, so heavily reduced as I need to shift some stock. Killer and very rare R&B dancer that seems to have been almost completely overlooked despite being by Gene Toones and on the same label as his four figure perennial in demander. No previous YouTube clip (testimony to how overlooked this one is), clip below from actual 45. Some light marks here and there but as you’ll hear plays Vg+. Rarely offered for sale and really does have enormous potential in the right hands! https://youtube.com/shorts/i70WYIXz5g0?feature=shared Gene Yarbrough - The Meeting Place part 1 & 2 (Jerma) Mint £50 I was inundated with enquiries when I listed my last two copies few weeks ago. Managed to find another lying around! My personal favourite of those listed, this seems virtually unknown and whilst part 1 has a couple of YouTube entries, the far better part 2 has only recently been added courtesy of @BarrieWaddington aka @A45Heaven (who’s no bad judge of a 45 given he was responsible for discovering many of Stafford’s finest plays and plenty more before and after). A killer 45 IMHO and not easy to find, probably be three figures if someone starts playing it (and given the names of those that have acquired a copy from me that is going to be very very soon!) https://youtu.be/B1FBMgXgLUo?si=XWWPzKyKIPalWpiv https://youtu.be/xuk448cSt5w?si=zuC_7H9CRFFI4Zzo Reverend George Morton - This Is My Story (Hi-Q) Ex (slightly grubby label see image) £50 Gospel Soul/Funk isn’t everyone’s thing and I get that but there are some that really are impossible not to like and this is definitely one of those. Full on Detroit northern with religious lyrics and vocals to die for (including incredible female backing vocalists). Had some exposure some 10 or so years ago but still seems relatively unknown by the masses. A personal favourite of the genre and less than half the price it was selling for a few years ago! https://youtu.be/T4jkHkUmisE?si=t5nell5RSRMdRH9J Barry Window - End Of Our Road (BAF) Ex (centre missing) £30 Funk edged blue eyed from Swiss born soul/jazz vocalist. Strange old 45 British label (not sure I’ve ever seen before) but what a tune! So so right for now, seems unknown but not ruling out that it may have had plays in past. Just the one YouTube clip and seemingly sells at about £50 usually. Another with bags of potential! https://youtu.be/hft85PEwo6c?si=f9yg2o6IVNjR4-qx PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Touch Of Class - Love Me Baby (Renfro) Mint- £75 Well here’s one you don’t see every day (or even every year come to that, my last copy was 2021!) The original (?) version, and best IMHO, of the Viola Edwards cut on the same label (and mysteriously shares the same catalogue number!?) Very hard to say which is rarer but this one really is a touch of class, an exquisite girl group crossover 45 that seems to have been completely ignored (or is just virtually unknown thanks to its rarity - only one clip on YouTube says a lot). Will appeal to lowrider collectors, but seems unknown in those circles too. https://youtu.be/DxsBngHYYFE Moon & Mars - I’ll Take You Back (Fuller) Mint- £75 Another seemingly under the radar lowrider 45 and again possibly due to rarity. Only a handful seem to have gone through eBay and Discogs making it significantly rarer than many 45s 10 times the price! Superb deepie, rare and obscure only a matter of time before the price rises! https://youtu.be/k5NlnPUNYQ4?si=o8J1SlejWxG3AfPp These Gents - Yesterday Standing By (WM) Ex £35 Finally a glorious and increasingly difficult lowrider 45 to find in decent condition. Lots of demand from across the pond with many of the better copies long since filed away in collections. Last copy flew out with some disappointed late comers, another bargain by today’s prices- don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/mQSMV8kVs4c?si=wvpQz1dj1GEAHsqn PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Ascots - I Won’t Cry (Blue Fin) Ex £100 Killer garage soul dancer that’s as rare as hen’s teeth. Just one barely viewed YouTube clip and was recently featured on one of the excellent Shades of Sorrow MixClouds. Sounds right for now massive potential for this one, cheap too seen at £150 recently! https://youtu.be/oWSCvYV16q8?si=lzMlOBEBFRQ1Q8Pd Marshall Hanson and The Hamps - Dark Clouds (Knight) Ex ***REDUCED*** £100 C asst believe this didn’t sell yesterday but reduced as I’m in need of cash. Killer Garage/R&B dancer that seems to be known only by those in the know. Just a handful through eBay and Discogs with a solitary and barely viewed private upload to YouTube. Sounds right for now to my ears, don’t ignore the delightful ballad flip either. https://youtu.be/bRLYqvhPaM8?si=YzGHiG6oVtJXaAaE Crowns - So What! Peppers Hot! (Freedom Records) Ex £50 Seemingly undocumented infectious garage/R&B dancer with no eBay or Discogs entries (no YouTube either until I uploaded this). Was previously c/up but I dunno what as and I dunno who by - copies in circulation seem to have come from band members so expect this one to be pretty darn rare! https://youtu.be/LxAqujkNNUg?si=-w8i9aNoX5r6eYQa PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Paul Bruno - Man Without Pride (Bee-Zee) Ex £200 Killer popcorn/R&B beat ballad that never comes to market! A semi-known gem of a 45 that’s been sailing under the radar for far too long. Was $400 last time it was offered for sale so this is a bargain. Some European and US plays I believe but this one has huge potential. https://youtu.be/Z3javrzHLGc?si=RY6WdrwAQnGpRJJf PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Chanters - Every Night (I sit and cry) (CBS) Vg+ £100 Killer UK only popcorn/northern mid tempo rarity. Think this had some exposure c/up around 10 years or so ago and commands £100+ on the rare occasions it comes to market. Slightly grubby label with small ticker residue (see image), a few marks but plays strong (HEAR ACTUAL 45 below). https://youtu.be/AMvjSzvfuns?si=T9qap4epGOr2x6v_ PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Robin Lee and the Revels - Little Boy Blue (Big Sound) Vg+ £50 Rodd Keith soundalike with a brilliant slab of garage soul. Not yet seen this on any playlists but it’s sure as hell on a few well known DJs wants lists. Not an easy 45 to find! https://youtu.be/mJDPRBhqbe0?si=0OuwkrQL3MFsdUx3 Harold Tincher and The Chapparals - The Hitchhiker (Lofton) Ex £50 Totally under the radar garage R&B dancer with bags of potential sounds bang on for now. Seems to be pretty rare too this one as hardly ever gone through eBay or Discogs. Just the one barely viewed YouTube clip too. https://youtu.be/ihGZEfICEpo?si=wIThvKlhv_Oey3dz 4-Sale - Baby Please Don’t Tease/Try To Remember (Highland) Ex £35 Massive potential for this virtually unknown garage soul twofer. Top side is bang on for today’s dance floors, flip it for a blue eyed killer in the ‘Shades of’ style. Not as rare but then it seems even lesser known than the Memphis Men. A recommend buy now because this quality at this price for a currently very in vogue sound means the few that are around will get snapped up once word gets out! https://youtu.be/8vQDbcoo6lY?si=A0QBU13OONTxl5Ak https://youtu.be/WUMRcDH0UK4?si=3e-trGSvow8TQ6CZ Chip & Dave - Soon Another Day (Sure Star) Mint- £25 Quirky, catchy blue eyed dancer that’s pretty obscure, could easily do the business with the right DJ behind it. https://youtu.be/fS6GfCp14vc?si=bDaY8b-5wY5Rxj3z Vic Lance - Secrets (Generi) Ex £25 Another quirky blue eyed vocal with a tremendous intro and backing track. Another that in right hands could have its day. Rare one too that I’ve seen listed at £100 before now! https://youtu.be/39Rzs7-WE_4?si=l_CQDeAwhSSDnpSv PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Memphis Men - Oh What A Night (Miramar) Ex £125 First up an exceptionally rare and seemingly fairly under the radar killer blue eyed group ballad in the ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style. Surprised it’s not wider known but rarity probably held this one back. https://youtu.be/lZ5OPY2ZI5E?si=Tx7Ee2dLTBQvdPtZ 4-Sale - Try To Remember (Highland) Ex £35 Another blue eyed killer in the ‘Shades of’ style. Not as rare but then it seems even lesser known than the Memphis Men.

Peggy Gaines - Sweet Way Of Living/Just To Satisfy My Baby (Ref-O-Ree) Mint- £50 A Tennessee Ted Jarrett production and cracking slab of southern crossover that has plenty of legs left in it. The flip though (for me anyway) is the real deal here an under the radar lowrider with potential for a big big future. Still cheap but for how long? https://youtu.be/ZaO9UmEEnDI?si=W0SUkFmDr7UyO9yT https://youtu.be/QO6Fttq9JkU?si=3oe271TFqzPbAXBe Casinos - If I Told You/Everybody Can’t Be Pretty (Del-Val) Mint- £40 An almost forgotten group harmony dancer (former Gary Rushbrook spin) in gorgeous near new condition. Don’t ignore the overlooked flip either, a decent group harmony dancer in its own right. https://youtu.be/Bt1RIfueOlY https://youtu.be/dip528e1Y1c Barry Window - End Of Our Road (BAF) Ex (centre missing) £35 Funk edged blue eyed from Swiss born soul/jazz vocalist. Strange old 45 British label (not sure I’ve ever seen before) but what a tune! So so right for now, seems unknown but not ruling out that it may have had plays in past. Just the one YouTube clip and seemingly sells at about £50 usually. Another with bags of potential! https://youtu.be/hft85PEwo6c?si=f9yg2o6IVNjR4-qx Rev. Hermon Murphy And The Hardin Singers - I Know He Died (Custom) Mint- £40 Texas gospel R&B banger that, going by recorded online sales, is pretty damn scarce! One that’s likely to have broad appeal too as could crossover to various ‘scenes’. Tough 45 in what looks like unplayed condition! For me one of the better Gospel dancers I’ve heard (and I’ve head a lot). https://youtu.be/J50_Ae7gcrk?si=wgPh0r2hALZaYSII PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
