Sherrell Brothers

The Price

On hearing this 45 again - I honestly think it's the finest recording we've listed all year!

It drips with soul, coated with vocal-group harmonies so lush it's sheer luxury to hear them, highly skilled guitar work highlighted by a guitar break of George Benson proportions, and throughout Reggie Sherrell's vocal - bursts with emotion, demanding you must own it.

JUST BRILLIANT!

Butch Baker

Batman At The Go Go C/w Robin At The Go Go

Before you today is a legendary record that for decades was thought to have been withdrawn at the PROMO stage due to "Batman" contractual problems. The "Batman" promo was considered for decades at the ultimate. Today you are viewing a MINT - STOCK copy of a record everyone thought never ever reached the release label process. This is Classic Northern Soul collecting at it's most-challenging, in goosepimple-inducing condition!

and a timeless "Golden Torch" "Catacombs" "Up The Junction" Northern Soul MONSTERrrrrrrrrrr!! Those were the days when sounds of this calibre of relentless power rattled England's underground clubs with an amphetamine fueled youth knowing no bounds to their dance-moves. Listen and dance - view and consider when did you last encounter this classic in this format.

James Carr

Hold On C/w I'll Put It To You

Universally considered as one of, if not THE greatest purveyor of the Deep Soul sound . His highly-coveted Goldwax Memphis recordings are treasures that will surely still be appreciated in a 100 years time! James you were that special. Why this Jackson, Mississippi collaboration with Tommy Couch is inexplicably RARE is something of a mysztery as this 45 also gives up that unparalleled pleading. Listen and soak in two mighty Deep Soul ballads that just drip with an emotion that few other artists could ever emulate. This 45 is for those who appreciate, the pain of being heralded "the best" after you've failed.

Tony Diamond

Don't Turn Away C/w You're The Sweetest Yet

Chicago does Detroit!! Tony Diamond reshuffles the 65 Four Tops album only recording, serving up a fabulous Northern Soul offering, that surprisingly has not reached the heights that the obvious quality would dictate. Ivy Hunter and Mickey Stevenson's composition, is re-arranged by Chicago soul-stalwarts Burgess Gardner, produced by the wise-Motor City-honed skills of Andre Williams. The A-side will blow you off your feet, and the flip is every note as good ...we think, the time has come for this disc to show-off it's true potential fior a much bigger ticket.

Timothy Wilson

I Must Love You C/w Hiding In Your Heart

This week I've been piling up some interesting vinyl in preparation for my Tuesday night radio show appearance on BANBURY Radio 15th. of November. When I struck on an idea of playing 3 records of my 5 favorite soul vocalists. This man will surely be amongst the 5.

Yet another case of distilled-soul-talent not reaching the wider public. Take time to listen to Mr. Wilson's most-wanted 45 where his shows-off his effortless vocal deliver punctuated by precise and emotional notes of a genius at work.

This offering is of course the genuine authentic original press - beware of he vinyl press counterfeits.

Romeos

Mon Petite Chow

First aired by Deep Funk pioneer Keb Darge - a DJ who never fails to spot a winner tune and it's potential. But in todays Northern Soul "Latin" climate this again is breaking surface.

Listen to an electrifying fusion of Latin/Funk/Soul. Busy Bongo intro, persistent piano, vibrant vibes, sultry sax bustle for position as this potent instrumental unfolds. Move over Saxie Russell, Elijah Your Rockin' Soul Days are over, make way for this Los Angeles belter ...to claim the crown of instrumental a'la Northern!

Note: as a pristine STOCK copy this is one rare record.

Jimmy Church

Thinking About The Good Times C/w Shadow Of Another Man's Love

One of the joys of record collecting, is the occasional encounter with the truly great and terribly rare labels. PEACHTREE of Glen Iris Drive, Atlanta, Georgia was the purveyor of some of the finest rare-soul recordings ever made.

William Bell's short lived project provided the collector with so many impossible trophies to pursue. This example underlines everything the label was about; local talent recording real-deal-soul.

Click the soundfile to unleash blinding Northern Soul - the intro is dead-right for today's scene with the likes of Jackie Paine, E. Rodney Jones packing the dancefloors with pumped-up R&B, though this 45 obvious sits in a much category on both rarity & quality. Then off course there is the flipside revealing Jimmy down in the depths of despair with a Deep Soul journey of hopelessness.

Oh yes - the joy of the terribly rare label!

Lonely For You Baby C/w I Need You Girl

Find a finer copy if you can - this 45 is totally pristine! Another example of 45 visiting these isles for the first time - avoiding those over-enthusiastic turntable-terrors from a demanding dancefloor.

A-side needs no introduction - it is a Northern Soul ANTHEM. But docheck out the gut-wrenching, tearful flipside, sung like Sam The Man - only can!
