Find A Quiet Place C/w This Ain't The Way

Today after a tiny flurry of copies in the early 70s that gave this 45 Northern Soul classic-status, this record now seldom comes to market. The Casino &The Pier simultaneously rocked the boards with it throughout that memorable decade, but since those times this 45 as gained and gained in value as rarity was constantly reaffirmed. This copy has fine clean vinyl, two X’s on label but also comes with an autographed flipside label by the man himself - Melvin Davis! Making this example rather unique…

Deletts

What's The Use C/w Look At Me

A double-delight of girl-group Northern Soul that has never ever been re-issued or indeed received the turntable time to make it anything other than a totally refreshing danceflloor experience any time you hear it; which ever side the needle is dropped on. “What’s The Use” if a precise mellow mid-tempo that drips with class - flip it over for an exhilarating journey of stompin’ vintage style Northern Soul. Why the hell this missed out from becoming a timeless constantly bootlegged NS classic is solely down to the so few spins it’s has received over the years - rarity again gives the NS fan a drop of the proper stuff to consider…potential for monster status is frankly - obvious.

I Can See Him Loving You

Yes! A real Northern Soul Trophy! the STEREO / MONO genuine PROMOcopy. Very few collectors can truthfully boast of owning this - there is however a glittering array of counterfeits, bootlegs and re-issues that have changed hands in the most dubious circumstances over the decades. This isTHE REAL-DEAL and so very highly prized by those collectors who require a strong dose ofanti-histamine after touching any form of re-issue. Condition of this prize is immaculate!

Hard Way To Go

Demand for this current spin last month was simmering away nicely - it is about to boil over - hence this listing! This copy is “like new” - listen and you’ll appreciate why this 45 is currently flying high..with a lot further to go and supplies long dried up.

Sweet Sweet Lovin'

The beauty of the EMI Stateside DEMO never ever fails to draw more than a second glance. This Twisted Wheel anthem in these clothes - The Bit-Collector will find it totally irresistible…To the Northern Soul dancer the collaboration of New York and Detroit created a monster vocal-group Northern Soul Dancer - as Buck Ram’s group tried to hitch-a-ride on TheMOTOWN SOUND, enlisting Richard Popcorn Wylie & Sonny Sanders to rework Vernon Harrell & Ralph Bailey’s replicating that Four Tops feel.
