THE ATTRACTIONS – BURN UP SOME ROAD (BACK TO MY BABY) – DE TO EX 70
Good Detroit dancer – little bit of wear on raised part of label
ANNETA ARCHIBALD – CLIP MY WINGS – SWIFT M- 175 SOLD
An amazing bargain – this has gone for 400 in the past
THE ARABIANS – PLEASE TAKE A CHANCE ON ME- LE MANS DEMO EX 130 SOLD
Classic – again, little bit of label wear on raised part – vinyl is lovely
PATTI AUSTIN – MUSIC TO MY HEART – ABC DEMO EX+ 50 SOLD
Torch classic
H.B. BARNUM – IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO CRY – RCA EX 75 SOLD
Great 100 Club oldie – plus this one has a picture sleeve as well!
LA VON BRIDGES – WITH A SMILE (ON MY FACE) – GLORECO VG++ 75 SOLD
Rare early Detroit piece, some WOL on B side mentioning Fred Bridges, otherwise pretty nice and a tough one to find, 150 in ‘the book’
THE COOPERETTES – SHING A LING – BRUNSWICK ISSUE EX 125
A beauty – stock copy in fantastic condition
TONY DANIELS – HOW LONELY – SPORT M- 40
Lesser known Detroit midtempo
THE DYNAMICS – YES I LOVE YOU BABY – TOP TEN DEMO EX 175 SOLD
Sadly this has a tiny crack on the edge – it’s been taped at the back and plays without a sound – on the deck nobody would ever know, trust me, to all intents and purposes it looks mint and plays as such. I think it’s a fair price for a record valued at 400 quid.
THE FALCONS – HAS IT HAPPENED TO YOU YET – LUPINE DEMO VG++ 80
Rare on demo – small writing on label
FOUR SONICS PLUS ONE – TELL ME YOU’RE MINE – SEPIA EX+ 40

Another beauty from the Sonics

FREDDIE HOUSTON – SOFT WALKING – TOTO EX- 40 SOLD
Still popular
WILL HATCHER – THIS AND THAT – THELMA EX 80 SOLD
One of the rarer Thelma’s in that it rarely turns up. Little bit of water damage on the label, nothing too bad
THE HESITATIONS – YOU CAN’T BYPASS LOVE / YOU’LL NEVER KNOW – KAPP DEMO EX 50
Brilliant version of Willie Kendricks and the flip is great too, think it uses the backing from the Sam E Solo track
EDWARD HAMILTON – I’M GONNA LOVE YOU – MARY JANE EX+ 100 SOLD
The brilliant original take, on the red and white checked label
LUTHER INGRAM – AIN’T THAT NICE – DECCA EX 125 SOLD

INTERNATIONAL KANSAS CITY PLAYBOYS – EVERYBODY’S GOIN’ WILD / QUITTIN’ TIME – WHEELSVILLE VG/VG+ 50 SOLD
Quittin Time has some background clicks and pops but fortunately the music drowns most of them out but still only VG. Everybody’s Goin Wild on the flip (using the same backing track) is way better. Two storming tracks. Small WOL both sides and a little tear on Quittin Time.

Stunning midtempo dancer, big big production
SHIRLEY J SCOTT – GOOSE PIMPLES – STEPHANYE EX 15 SOLD
Nice cheapie
EDWIN STARR – YOU’RE MY MELLOW / MY KIND OF WOMAN – RIC TIC VG++ 75 SOLD
Minescule cue burn on the first second of both sides, visually VG++ both sides play fantastic, you could confidently DJ with these and they’d sound awesome. Small WOL on Woman side
BUNNY SIGLER – GIRL DON’T MAKE ME WAIT – PARKWAY M 30 SOLD
Philly classic – we only had Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods version at our youth club LOL
