Three great 45s that will cost peanuts.Forget some of the rubbish big money stuff , these will give you loads more listening pleasure.

1. Dont leave leave me - Al Green - Hot line.

2. Love - Gladys - O-Gee.

3. Harlem - Bill Withers - Sussex.

Have just posted some tunes up that go for peanuts on the bedroom soul post, agree with what the other guy said forget the big guns, thousands of top top quality tunes at mega cheap prices. my top tune for a tenner is the oscar weathers track just reeks quality!!!! be delighted if anyone puts simillar tunes up i can chase myself cheap as chips crossover or 70's that will do me fine, any you guys gals hit me with a cheapie that will blow me away could do with a fix of quality on a budget my kind of soul.

The Superlatives & Occasions are 2 great tunes worthy of spins - great buys for a pittance compared to similar quality tunes.

WHAT about:

INCREDIBLES - MISS TREATMENT - AUDIO ARTS

ORLONS - I AIN'T COMING BACK - CAMEO

MAGNIFICENT MEN - FOREVER TOGETHER - CAPITOL

JOHNSON, HAWKINS, TATUM & DURR - YOUR LOVE KEEPS DRAWING ME CLOSER - CAPSOUL

VISITORS - I'M IN DANGER - DAKAR

FLIRTATIONS - NEED YOUR LOVING - DERAM (STORMER)

RUBY WINTERS - JUST LIKE A YO-YO - DIAMOND (BETTER THAN "BETTER?")

MALIBUS - I JUST CAN'T STAND IT - DUKE

GENE WEST aka BARRY WHITE - LITTLE GIRL - ORIGINAL SOUND

MILLIONAIRES - NEVER FOR ME - PHILIPS

MALIBUS - TEN TIMES A DAY - SURE-SHOT

ALL PURCHASED FOR LESS THAN £25 - SOME A LOT LESS!!

Try Joe Dunlop

https://www.soulmountain.co.uk/

Loads of cheap goodies on here.

Here's a quick two for you

1. Mary Wells - Me Without You- (20th Centrutry or Brit Stateside)

2 Clifford Curry - Cant get a hold of myself/ Aint no danger (elf/UK Pama)

The B side of Clifford Curry is far far better and sounds like a £300 record! The Mary wells is her best mid tempo (in my opinion)

3 tunes I've not heard before!?

1.Buster Jones - Baby Boy - Sure Shot.

This was played in the eighties and has been lost in time. There are loads of records that are still cheap as the djs stick to playing the rarer stuff.

2. The Friendly People - Ain't Got Nothin But The Blues - VMP.

Dance floor filler in the 80's. Vocal and instrumental. If you see one they look like a boot. I have two copies of this one and am waiting for it to have it's time again

Dunc

So confused;Marvelos.....Fantastic

talkin bout ya baby -- crackin choice.........

still a cheap record..and easy to find......

a real must have in any collection................

Mighty Marvelows: Talking 'Bout Ya Baby (ABC)

played this out at the weekend. super duper chooon

Ive had 4 records in the past month all under £25, just wish I could rememebr what they were so I could join in!!!

Scientests Of Soul.... "Be's That -A-Way Sometimes"..... (Kashie)....certain it is still around the £10-£15 mark

Also the bang same backing on the 70's release of Dave Love "Baby Hard Times" ..(Worlds)..another good cheap 45' .

Brett

Big fan of cheap but great sounds- some of my faves are

Bobby Womack - Tried and convicted

Charles Drain - Is this really love

Charles Mintz - Running Back

Homer Strickland - I'll get over you

Bobby Cutchins - I did it again

Dee & Joe - Who's it gonna be

Barbara Mason - I ain't got nobody

Scientests Of Soul.... "Be's That -A-Way Sometimes"..... (Kashie)....certain it is still around the £10-£15 mark

Brett

Dave Love is a real double header -" You painted me blue" on the other side is well worth a spin

Scientests Of Soul.... "Be's That -A-Way Sometimes"..... (Kashie)....certain it is still around the £10-£15 mark

Yip, I paid exactly £10 for it at Ponds Forge a few months back - well worth it too

I have just added a load of decent 45s around the £20 mark in the sales section. All feature soundbytes too.

Cheers
