Great double sider with “Searching” on the flip

THE MIGHTY LOVERS – MIGHTY LOVER – BOO-GA-LOO (YELLOW LABEL) EX 125 SOLD

Rarer label and a bargain price. Has a little crack on the centre hole but hardly merits a mention.

NEW HOLIDAYS – MY BABY AIN’T NO PLAYTHING – WESTBOUND DEMO M- 75

Maybe the best version of this tune and getting played

BARBARA MERCER – CALL ON ME – SIDRA DEMO M 50 SOLD

TOMMY FRONTERA – YOU’RE MY LEADING LADY – HI-LITE EX+ 125SOLD

Great copy

THE HOLIDAYS – I LOST YOU – GROOVE CITY VG+ 150 SOLD

Has a little intermittent background click for first minute, no problems for a DJing copy, it’s half price anyway

MICHAEL & RAYMOND – MAN WITHOUT A WOMAN – RCA DEMO EX 120

Classic white demo

EMANUEL LASKEY – I’M A PEACE LOVING MAN – THELMA EX+ 100

So many of these Detroit records are cracking double siders, “Sweet Lies” on the flip of this is as good as the A side

As new vinyl stock copy

THE METROS – SINCE I FOUND MY BABY – RCA ISSUE EX 150SOLD

Bob Bateman, Luther Ingram & the Funk Brothers – credits don’t come more impeccable than this

EMANUEL LASKY – LUCKY TO BE LOVED (BY YOU) – WILD DEUCE VG++ 30 SOLD

Few marks and the odd pop, no problems though

DANNY MOORE – SOMEBODY NEW – ALLRITE DEMO VG+ 100 SOLD

OK first thing to say is it's cracked - its got one of those cracks that hasn't yet gone through to make a clean break but it is definitely stressed, though because it hasn't gone through, it doesn't sound. And of course, it's styrene. A very very rare. I mean really rare.

DETROIT LAND APPLES – I NEED HELP – SHOTGUN EX 50 SOLD

Lovely vinyl but water damaged label – stamped original

THE HOLIDAYS – I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER – QUALITY (CANADIAN) M- 40 SOLD

EARTHA KITT – THERE COMES A TIME – MUSICOR EX 125

Black issue – brilliant underrated track, totally Solid Hitbound Production despite them not being credited on the label

DANNY MOORE – SOMEBODY NEW – ALLRITE M 50

Unplayed

JOE MATTHEWS – YOU BETTER MEND YOUR WAYS – THELMA EX 30

Sorry Ain’t Good Enough on B side

DARRELL BANKS – SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE NEEDS YOU – REVILOT DEMO - 25

Sadly this is cracked but I’ve fixed it so it doesn’t make a click. B side won’t play but it’s the same as the A side so it makes no difference!
