I know that this question has been asked before but, seeing as most of us are only poor working sods, what good cheapies have you come across lately?

Just to start a few from me all under £20 most under a tenner.

Not in any particular order

Otis Redding -Look at the girl

Tommy Tate -If you aint man enough

Gene Diamond- Lonely Drifter

Rose Hargrove_ Knocked down kicked around

Maskman/The Agents - Yaw'll

Archie Bell- Where will you go when the party's over

Any more out there? I need to build a cheap collection

Tony

Lorraine Rudolph - Keep Coming Back For More - Jet Stream

SUPERLATIVES: Lonely In A Crowd (Westbound)

MARY WELLS: Keep Me In Suspense (Atco)

Syl Johnson - Try Me - Twilight

Jimmy Norman - This I Beg Of You - Samar

Accents - New Girl - M-Pac

I got these after recommendations from, Gene & Chalky on here. The dearest one was Lorraine Rudolph for £20.

Plus I also got the following a couple of days ago.

Pleased With Myself

Juanita Williams - Baby Boy - GOLDEN WORLD

Chuck Jackson - I've Got To Be Strong - WAND

Uniques - Not Too Long Ago - PAULA

Tempests - Would You Believe - SMASH

Love that Archie Bell although IMO the flip is even better (Don't Let Love Get You Down).

Recent cheap acquisitions

Emotions: Can't Stand No More Heartaches (Brainstorm)

Deon Jackson: I Can't Go On (Carla)

Artistics: It's Those Little Things That Count (Brunswick)

Marvin Gaye: When I Had Your Love (Tamla)

Caesars: La La (I Love You) (Lanie)

Sapphires: Who Do You Love (Swan)

Webs: Tomorrow (Popside)

John

"Tomorrow" by the Webs on Popside is absolutely smashing!! Also came out on UK London, which can be bought relatively cheaply.

Also worth mentioning "I've Got Mine You Better Get Yours" by the Sapphires on Swan, available for about £20 or far less on Ebay!!

The final release on Windy C, "Change of Pace" by the 5 Stairsteps is also worth looking out for. Like all the Windy C 45s, it can be picked up for about £5, but sounds like it should be worth 50 times this amount!!

Gene

There's a change of pace for sale on ebay at the moment

Absolutely brilliant!! Been banging this one down on the south coast for a while, I know Russ Vickers has just got one so should get further exposure.

And with superb cheapies like this, why do people need to play reissues/boots/etc (NO, i'm not starting that debate again!)

There's a change of pace for sale on ebay at the moment

Just had a look and the same seller's got 'Playgirls Love' another great cheap record!

Recently picked up:

Willie Harper - But I couldn't £10

Johnnie May Mathews - Here comes my baby/baby whats wrong £10 (2 lovely tunes, bought blind)

Esther Phillips - Home is where the hatred is £20 (gave it to my little brother as a present, cos he would enjoy it more than me)

Gary & Gary - I'm leaving £5 (another bought blind after hearing the Arock cd from Kent).

here's another few

Gene Chandler: Such A Pretty Thing (Checker)...have a spare copy (Canadian) if anyone is interested

Gene Chandler: I'm Just A Fool For You/Buddy Ain't It A Shame (Constellation)

Betty Lavette: Stand Up Like A Man/Fool For You (Calla)

Voicemasters: If A Woman Catches a Fool/ You've Hurt Me Baby (Bamboo)...see Andy Dyson has one of these listed @ 25 Bargain!!!

Sharpees: Tired Of Being Lonely (One-der-ful)

Wales Wallace: Somebody I Know (BRC)

Incredibles: I Can't Get Over Losing Your Love (Audio Arts)

Fred Hughes: Don't Let Me Down (Vee Jay)

Just to link up with another post.....why would anybody bother playing CDs when you'd get infinitely more respect playing a set of quality originals that don't cost the earth

John

Betty Lavette: Stand Up Like A Man/Fool For You (Calla)

Ive been after one of these for years. I couldn't find a sold one on e-bay to check the price. What's it go for these days?

I got mine a few years back for 15. Think it's still at about 20-25.

hope that helps

for sale@ £20 if still interested post up your e mail address will contact off site

Mick

You wouldn't have 2 copies for sale, by any chance?

Oh well my shopping list just gets longer and longer.

On a quick count up about 50 good sounds here, that's about a third of a nights playlist.If we keep it going we should come up with a bloody good night of music all for the price of half a Shrine release.

Some Motown to carry on

David Ruffin--I can't stop the rain

Martha Reeves--Heartless

Temptations--I'm coming home

Originals--Good lovin just a dime away

Dynamic Superiors--One nighter

Edwin Starr-- Love the lonely peoples prayer

Most of these are 7ts things but the Martha Reeeves is a right old storming motown mutha.

Tony

Who's going to be first to promote a "Cheapies Night"?

I'll get me coat.

The other side of The Sapphires is a fabulous mid tempo "I Found Out To Late".

A tenner a side, you can't go wrong.

The Dells-Its All Up To You-Cadet wd £15

It's cheapies night, every night, at my house.

Already got 'Aint gonna rest/you can't see' and 'Playgirls Love' by the Stairsteps, with the other mentioned earlier that'l be 3, i feel a collection coming on... coming on strong even.....

Anyone know any more by them?

M.

The best cheap record i ever bought was

Bobby Bland - Aint Nothing You Can Do - Duke £7

....but only because it has 'Honey Child' on the flipside. IMO one of the most soulful gritty sounds ever, and really does sound like it's worth ten times that.

Matt

Only just heard this, this morning, liked it, just bought one on ebay for less than a tenner.

One of my fave subjects, cheap records.

Looked through loads of sales boxes through the '90s never really saw any bargains. Except maybe a beat up Dynells atco demo £30 at Canklow, no spare cash, Maggie had her lager head on.

Last few months I've managed to cross from my wants list.

Jimmy Norman, Lucky Laws. Since '93 from a Trevor Thomas tape.

Ultimations, Pinches twins tape.

Buddy Lamp, June Conquest. Old Roger Banks tape.

Tommy Cook & Fantastics. Old Saus tape.

James Brown-Money won't... Picked up on through this forum, cheers.

Jean Wells. Holgate club York.

Bobo Mr Soul. Old tape revisited. Is it Archie Bell ??

Superlatives. Browsing Manships recomended list.

Continental four, TSU Tornadoes. Valatone CD.

Joe Tex-Baby be good. Josephine Taylor-Good lovin. Heard at a barbeque this summer.

Steve Mancha-You're still in my heart. Heard Whilst browsing Soul Club.

Aside from the Buddy Lamp. $47

didn't pay more than £15 for any of the above.

Sometimes Gemm, or Netsounds are cheaper than ebay.

Craig Moerer is often cheaper than ebay.

I did the 1st hour at the Holgate club a couple of times and tried to play the cheaper side of soul.

Had I better get my coat ??

i got most of the titles mentioned on me web siteb that'll be up soon + hundreds more at 20 and less , infact within a few weeks chalkys gonna do some sales c/ds send us a mail and i'll do a copy for the price of postage !

There is a 50 pound challenge nite already planned for sheridans later in the year 9th july bettween soultown lifeline and flipside soul clubs,pretty straight forward 3 djs each nobody can play anything worth more than 50 quid,should be interesting.

Lookin' forward to it...... I know some of the DJs are already sweating thinking about it......

WOOF!

We need referees no doubt there will be some debate on the nite as to what is worth under 50 quid these days,should be fun.

THE PROFILES - I STILL LOVE YOU - BAMBOO. About a tenner, brilliant.

Pottsy.

How about inviting a small panel of Soul Sourcers to help judge?

Either that or use Johnny Ovenchips Guide as final judge... that would make it harder as most £50 are more in there......

Somebody would try to get round that by only playing their UK release stuff.

Proposed Ground rules are:

1. U.S original 45s only.

2. Must be currently available for less than £50 in EX condition.

3. Must be 'Northern' in style.

4. Must be a Dancer.

So this means......

No UK (or other foreign release).

No Goldmine 7s.

No Grapevine.

No Boots.

No Dodgy Acetates.

No battered copies of £200 records.

No 'Oh I paid a tenner for Sam Dees' Lonely in 1988'

WOOF!

Exactly

Woof!

Exactly 

Woof!

It's easy to take the piss out of this in the details, but I'll bet there's not many on here who'll gainsay the basic theme of this.

I'll bet the Yorkshire DJ's will come out on top...

There's nobody tighter

Lookin' forward to it...... I know some of the DJs are already sweating thinking about it......

WOOF!

Wouldn't have me in a sweat thats for sure

Emotions: Can't Stand No More Heartaches (Brainstorm)

The flip of this is rather spiffing too as I remember. Buy one at a tenner and the two sides effectively become a fiver each.
