This looks superb, never seen a copy on this Canadian label before. Some very minor crackle on intro.
CHICO HOLIDAY - FOLLOW THE SUN - MEADOWBROOK EX 40 SOLD
One time big money tune on a very obscure Detroit label
RITA DACOSTA - DON'T BRING ME DOWN - MOHAWK WHITE DEMO VG++ 70 SOLD
Vinyl copy - has some surface marks, no scratches, one or two pops but I think I'[ve graded it very conservatively - would have been looking at 125 at least for a minter - dj with it no problem - it's not a beat up record
RODDIE JOY - IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT - RED BIRD DEMO EX 30 SOLD
Her rarest - cracking Detroit production (Moseley, Bateman, Wylie etc) Small label tear and bit of ringwear
THE PETS - WHAT KIND OF GIRL (DO YOU THINK I AM) - MGM DEMO M 25
Super girly dancer - I doubt this has ever been played since it was made 45 years ago
THE BURNING BUSH - KEEPS ON BURNING - MERCURY DEMO VG 50 RESERVED
Plays well with numerous clicks here and there, obviously if you buy it and aren't happy with it you can return it...if you're waiting for a mint one to come along this should do fine until then
TASHA THOMAS - I SAW THE SKY - ROULETTE DEMO M 30 SOLD
Beautiful version of Verdelle Smith's beat ballad classic using the same backing track
THE PEELS - TIME MARCHES ON - KARATE M- 30
Don't think I've ever had this on a US stock copy before
THE PARAKEETS - I WANT YOU RIGHT NOW / I LOVE YOU LIKE I DO - BIG TOP DEMO EX 50
Great double sider, two early dancers, was three figures when first discovered
DONALD JENKINS & THE DELIGHTERS - SOMEBODY HELP ME - CORTLAND M- 50
Stunning copy, most of these are beat up, this is a lovely West Coast issue
GEORGE CARROW - ANGEL BABY (DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE ME) - COLUMBIA DEMO EX 40
1967 'special rush reservice' demo, they must have repromoted it when Darrell Banks released his version
BILLY PRESTON - CAN'T SHE TELL - CAPITOL DEMO EX 40
His rarest Capitol 45
TOMMY T & THE TARGETS - SALES PITCH - BIG R DEMO VG++ 75
Had several people asking about this when I featured it in the last episode of vinyl gems of the 60's, popcorn monster, brilliant dancer. Some wear but plays fantastic.
ESKEW REEDER - UNDIVIDED LOVE - INSTANT EX 75 SOLD
Floorpacker
