Thee Midniters - Dreaming Casually/Breakfast On The Grass (Whittier) Vg (plays Vg+) £300 ***HEAR IT*** One of their hardest and most in demand 45s. Seen low grade copies sell for £350 recently due to lowrider demand for the simply gorgeous ‘Dreaming’, flip it for an incredible slab of Chicano garage/Psych that would not be out of place on some current playlists. Good price on this due to some very very light background which is overpowered by the recording, check the YouTube link below for a clip from the actual 45. https://youtube.com/shorts/ls2X5xsAhi8?feature=shared PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Pepe Romo, Des Glasford’s Combo Seven - Let The Tears Fall (Just Des) Vg+ £150 Killer Gayanese only dancer that been on the playlists of Michael Robinson (USA) and Mitja Vesnaver (Europe) but it seems has yet to make its way to UK dance floors. And this has SOOOOO much northern scene potential! Rare as hen’s teeth private press with very few copies going through eBay and Discogs. Bargain price because this needs to be heard! https://youtu.be/A1HMd9ap9L8?si=K633ebizn-UX9Hdg Mr. Shotgun - Do What I Want You To Do/ You Had Your Chance (Ebony Sounds) Vg+ £125 An old Dig Deeper spin I believe although so rare it’s never made it’s way beyond the US as far as I’m aware. Gravel voiced, R&B dancer b/w a decent deep soul effort. Interestingly there’s some debate on the Sir Shambling site that this is actually Rev. James Cleveland moonlighting from his Savoy contract . Anyway rare as hen’s and definitely one for the more enterprising DJs out there. Not previously on YouTube so clips are from actual 45. https://youtube.com/shorts/LnuhlwWzkF8?feature=shared https://youtube.com/shorts/vaHNPjpsCkM?feature=shared Johnny Gibson - Baby Let Me Know (GTM) Vg+ £75 Raw as you like R&B dancer that I believe was a cover up for Guy Hennigan at some point. Suffice to say it’s remained under the radar ever since only recently making its way onto YouTube. Another killer dancer and ripe for revival IMHO. https://youtu.be/OfSTTXCBapQ?si=9HVtauroCBD71LBS “Little” Jimmie Ballard - Guilty (Of Love In The 1st Degree) (ABC WD) Vg+ £60 Funk edged R&B that is right for today’s scene hence some exposure in recent times via RSF and other upfront venues/DJs. Tough 45 on the label for sure and seen sell for more. Could have a big future! https://youtu.be/wuOul3JEljM?si=QDrK6uD_dci0QZxF PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Doris & Kelley - You Don’t Have To Worry/Groove Me With Your Love (Brunswick) Vg++ £325 The haunting beautiful and incredibly in demand lowrider masterpiece that is ‘…Worry’ should in itself be enough to command a £400+ price tag and indeed recent top sales have reached this price on a number of occasions, but this has the added advantage of a superb lowrider flip side as well (albeit one that gets less attention). A 45 that, despite it major label release, is a tough one to acquire- partly because demand far outweighs supply. A stunning 45 that graces the collections of only those with the finest of tastes. Another one I’ll doubtless regret parting with almost as soon as it’s gone. Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/R58mnqJBUHM?si=PYQUUolXnCYOiXpH https://youtu.be/DXtzlH-lG7k?si=wrs5q8jp0eahRY-Q PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Bill Lucas - Cause I Know You’re Mine/I Don’t Ever Want To Love Again (Dionn WD) Vg+ £200 One of, if not the, finest of Stafford’s best ballads b/w an under the radar lowrider that is just as sublime as its flip side. Never been an easy find this 45, with lots of people having to make do with the later reissue/boot. This is the first copy I’ve ever had (and I have been hunting for it since about 1984) and I can’t say I recall seeing it for sale often in the last 40 years either! This one has a few surface marks, but playsVg+ (the odd gentle crackle on the slower flip side but still a good Vg+ player. One of the great double siders that seems to have been somewhat overlooked in recent times, maybe due to rarity. Two quality sides, don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/XpiIwpg2qp8?si=ffJQH2wzQ4iFmmH5 https://youtu.be/mbe54fCRjnk?si=361NCy8nOBq__ZOz PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

The Phantom - Come Back To Me/ Uh Huh, Ohyeah (Karisma) Vg+ (light surface marks, some gentle background but nothing too distracting, priced accordingly) ***HEAR IT*** £225 Rarely seen and barely ever heard, here is the far superior version of Sonny Craver’s Musette 45 titled simply ‘Come Back’. Only once through Discogs some 5 or so years ago and just seven through eBay! Last copy had went at £400 and that was Ex, this is lower end Vg+ with some light background crackle (HEAR IT BELOW) which will probably improve with a deep clean (light surface marks only). Currently this is cruising stealth like under the radar thanks to its rarity but it has a big future given the right exposure. The flip will have its champions too and I’ve included a link to that below as it’s not to be ignored. Rarity assured, exclusively assured, quality assured, investment potential assured. You won’t see another for some considerable time! ***HEAR IT*** clip below from actual 45 https://youtube.com/shorts/AhFNrDWp6P8?feature=shared https://youtu.be/n30kBJsiGaw PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Gene Yarbrough - The Meeting Place part 1 & 2 (Jerma) Vg++ £40 I am inundated with enquiries every time I list this. 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, will be a three figure 45 now it’s getting plays (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 C-Quents - It’s You And Me/Dearest One Essica) Vg+ £50 Double header alert! Not sure which side I like best here, ‘You And Me’ is a criminally underplayed northern group dancer that really deserves more attention, but it’s the flip that creating demand and seen the price rise to £75+ recently, a sublime lowrider group ballad that stands up against many of the rarer and more expensive 45s. Doubt you’ll get another copy at this low price. Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/LA1xMvfUZR8?si=LrQWXBH81Ez1vPoI https://youtu.be/Ac0P0DHtUfc?si=zxdes4GacfMfuIIB Mauds - You Made Me Feel So Bad (Mercury) Ex £40 Last but by no means least, the increasingly popular garage soul must have! This one flies out the door every time I list a copy. Reliably informed this killer slab of garage soul had plays in the 90s here and there but has still to crossover to the wider northern scene. This honestly blew me away when I first heard it, garage soul at it’s very best and still cheap (well for now)! Sold a lot of these in recent times and it’s no wonder.

4th Chapter - In The Rain (Pennie) Mint- £150 Killer psych soul/garage soul ballad in the style and of those wonderful Shades of Sorrow comps. This one’s yet to feature and is RARE, this along with about four other copies came from a band member and one I’ve not seen one before or since. Should be £200-250 but in need of funds so doing this far too cheaply! Doubt you’ll get a chance to own this again and it’s not even on YouTube yet (until inn be posted this 40 second or so clip earlier). https://youtube.com/shorts/D5RZLe2MxE4?feature=shared Joyce Kennedy - The Hi Fi Albums And I (Blue Rock) Vg+ £50 Had a multitude of requests for this on the last couple of occasions I listed it and it’s no surprise! What a tune this is! Blue Rock big beat backing on the killer slab of deep with a beat. Starting to get interest on the lowrider circuit but remains for now under the radar and not common by any means! Notice recent sales in the £75 range so this one’s on the up! https://youtu.be/YGdV5OhT_cQ 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 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Schnell Sisters - Help Me (To Forget You)/Wonderin’ (Big Mac) Vg+ (surface marks but plays great) £75 Killer blue eyed twofer! Can only imagine it’s the unlikely naked artists that’s kept this one in obscurity for so long! Top side is sublime (flip ain’t too shabby either). Moody, hypnotic and in the style of those wonderful ‘Shades of Sorrow’ comps. Tough 45 and only recently uploaded to YouTube. https://youtu.be/XkjHUOA9tMc?si=lBcU7y_gH9xl2woN https://youtu.be/Ry_GkhC9xg0?si=iI6EV2AMN1U6WOSV Ascots - I Won’t Cry/ The Wonder Of It All (Blue Fin) Ex £75 Killer garage soul double sider that’s as rare as hen’s teeth. Just one barely viewed YouTube clip of both sides and was recently featured on one of the excellent Shades of Sorrow MixClouds. Sounds right for now massive potential for this one! N.B. Rarer of it’s two issues with the fantastic ‘Wonder Of It All’ flip side. https://youtu.be/oWSCvYV16q8?si=lzMlOBEBFRQ1Q8Pd https://youtu.be/OG5FI2ppV8k?si=Q8GAA-ucbPr7QaKO Franklin Jones - Alone In The Night/Do You Believe (Gama) Ex £50 Listed this yesterday and completely forgot about the killer Popcorn flip side plenty of potential for this side in the UK and Europe IMHO. Flip is a fabulous blue eyed R&B dancer that is pretty much unknown (YouTube clip is of actual copy as it doesn’t seem to be on there). Another label renowned for rarities (only other copy I can find ever is on a big dealers site at £125).

Revolvers - Good Lovin’ Woman (Ty Tex) Ex £75 Killer Texan Garage/R&B dancer that went down a storm at Saturday’s @TheLockUp. Tough 45 like most of its stablemates (and many Texan labels). Sounds right for now and I’ll be not seen on any playlists so I’m assuming this one’s still sailing under the radar! https://youtu.be/Tx747c-OKNA?si=GH9L0LV7NAfD_j8W Franklin Jones - Do You Believe (Gama) Ex £60 Fabulous blue eyed R&B dancer that is pretty much unknown (YouTube clip is of actual copy as it doesn’t seem to be on there).

In the right hands this one has bags of potential! https://youtube.com/shorts/A5iSXw-AXuI?feature=shared Johnny Winter - Gone For Bad (MGM) Vg+£20 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.

Jim & Lee - Let Go, Baby (Smash WD) Vg ***WOULD BE MINT- but for a fingerprint sized mark (see images) that causes occasional light ticks mostly overpowered by recording ***ASK FOR CLIP*** (priced accordingly) £150 Massive demand on this one in recent times and high in the wants lists of those in the know. Underplayed, under the radar (relatively) banging 60s dancer that will very soon be a big ticket item. Demand has been growing steadily for this over the last year or so and the last Vg+ through Discogs went for £300, a sound investment for a rarely offered 45 that is soon to have its day! As per above this is downgraded condition wise but is a great play copy for half the going rate - YouTube keeps giving me a copyright ban when I try to upload so ask for a clip!) https://youtu.be/-LGZO4eUyEM (for reference only ask for clip of actual 45) Gene Yarbrough - The Meeting Place part 1 & 2 (Jerma) Mint £50 I was inundated with enquiries every time I list this. 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 4-Sale - Baby Please Don’t Tease/Try To Remember (Highland) Vg+ £30 Massive potential for this virtually unknown twofer. Top side is bang on for today’s dance floors, flip it for a blue eyed killer in the ‘Shades of’ style. 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 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Communicators and The Black Experience Band - One Chance/ Is It Funky Enough For You? (Duplex) Mint- £75 Killer lowrider group ballad that seems to be around £100 these days, beautiful copy of a pretty tough to find 45 in nice condition. Flip it for a lesser known funk bomb. Double bubble! https://youtu.be/Gk9ZbRk4wYs https://youtu.be/41W4Mgo7kjQ?si=zvdD59KCBQsNgDzL Memphis Men - Oh What A Night (Miramar) Vg (plays well for grade ***HEAR IT***) £50 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. Not the best looking copy, but plays with some light crackle mostly overpowered by recording, clip below from actual 45 grade ***HEAR IT*** (Bargain would be £100 in better condition.) https://youtube.com/shorts/syvdmCmbFMM?feature=shared Casinos - Please Love Me (UK President) Ex £35 Under the radar (maybe because it’s a hard one on a major (Fraternity in US) stunning, blue eyed lowrider just waiting to crossover. A tough 45 to locate on its US label but equally scarce it seems on UK, so once it’s out there demand and price will inevitably increase.

El Dorados - Looking In From The Outside/Since You Came Into My Life (Paula) Ex £50 (very slight label wear to one side) A great example of lowrider 45s that were once cheap and are now three figure records! A sublime slab of group soul that just oozes class. Flip it for a frantic slab of funk edged northern that is sailing way under the radar. Not common this 45 first copy I’ve had on three years. https://youtu.be/W2RScpuXljY https://youtu.be/3Qhq1SEl1vA?si=-pJpO6l1X1KXdSp3 Woman - I Want To Get Back/That’s How It Is (Shock) Mint- £40 Sublime sweet soul double sider that’s steadily growing in price. ‘I Want To …’ has long been revered by lowrider collectors and rightly so. Flip it for another slice of that gorgeous vocal. Oh and that label design . https://youtu.be/63I1gQKZsuE?si=eejBNywRCQUXuOqy https://youtu.be/XOY2X9qw3GA?si=Zl1fAYBfli9-7tPM King Solomon’s Advisors - Back Of My Mind/The Tight Rope (Ghetto) Mint- £25 Killer lowrider 45 with a banging dancer on the flip. Two or three years ago this was a £15 45, but the demand for this type of sound has grown to such an extent that recent Discogs sales are at £40 and growing. Another set for increasing demand and higher prices, it has as way to go yet IMHO. https://youtu.be/8O59OOGMVfs?si=rhTOfl48fNRM9J0O https://youtu.be/Ta2YTWRd_VA?si=slCSmZQ3CZy187SU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Riddles - It’s One Thing To Say (Mercury) Vg+ £50 Little introduction needed these days for this one time garage obscurity that’s grown and grown and now one of the hottest garage soul 45s out there!

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.

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%.
