CHEERS
PETE
GENE CHANDLER - I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF - CONSTELLATION EX- 25
Classic
THE DELLS - RUN FOR COVER - CADET EX 50
Always been a tough one on US original
EXITS - YOU GOT TO HAVE MONEY / UNDER THE STREETLAMP - GEMINI EX+ 50
Top double sider, nice in this condition
FOUR LARKS - GROOVIN' AT THE GO GO / I STILL LOVE YOU - TOWER EX 200
Very scarce ISSUE copy of this classic - gorgeous. One mark on the vinyl, doesn't affect play at all
GEES - IT'S ALL OVER / LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING - PORT DEMO EX 50
Another great double sider. Small X on label
BOBBY HEBB - LOVE LOVE LOVE - PHILIPS DEMO EX 30
Very nice white demo
HESITATIONS - I'M NOT BUILT THAT WAY / SOUL SUPERMAN - KAPP EX+ 50 SOLD
Lots of great double siders on today's list, here's another, Soul Superman has the same backing track as The Dynamics - I Need Your Love
HARRY & THE KEYAVAS - THIS IS GOODBYE - IPG EX+ 75
Nice Stafford oldie, big voice
HEARTBREAKERS - I'VE GOT TO FACE IT - DERBY CITY EX+ 50 SOLD
Uptempo late 60's dancer
INTERNATIONAL GTO'S - I LOVE MY BABY - ROJAC EX 225 SOLD
The good news - a very rare original stock copy in great condition; the bad news - labels are on the wrong sides
BARBARA JACKSON - BIG MAN - WARNER BROS DEMO EX+ 50
Excellent girly dancer, any song that begins with the lyrics "Big man you can go jump in the lake" can't be too bad can it?
GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS - STOP AND GET A HOLD OF MYSELF - MAXX M- 40 SOLD
Totally brilliant and in mint condition
LINDA LLOYD - BREAKAWAY - COLUMBIA DEMO M- 175
Absolute top copy of this fantastic beat ballad
JOHNNY McRAE - I LIKE THAT GIRL / YOUR ANYBODY'S GIRL - DC EX 250
Two uptempo sides, in demand 45, production is a bit low-fi incidentally
MYSTIC MOODS - ASTRAL TRIP - WARNER BROS DEMO EX 30
Old Wigan monster sound
MAURICE & THE RADIANTS - BABY YOU'VE GOT IT - CHESS DEMO EX 40
Stunning white demo
MISTY MOORE - LITTLE THINGS - PZAZZ M- 125 SOLD
Rare 45 with a jazzy vocal.
THE PHONETICS - PRETTY GIRL - TRUDEL EX+ 150
This is superb, criminally underrated track overshadowed by Just A Boy's Dream. Willie Hutch vocal?
SYLVIA ROBBINS - DON'T LET YOUR EYES GET BIGGER THAN YOUR HEART - SURE DEMO EX+ 40
Good oldie, has a huge mark on the vinyl making no noise whatsoever, might be a manufacturing mark, dunno. Two small X's on label
THE SAPPHIRES - THE SLOW FIZZ - ABC DEMO EX- 35 SOLD
Nice original demo. Bit of label wear (rubbing on raised part), X on label.
BUNNY SIGLER - GIRL DON'T MAKE ME WAIT - PARKWAY DEMO M- 60 SOLD
Now here's one you don't see very often, a very rare West Coast white demo, 'two shields' design with the jumbled Parkway logo, looks absolutely beautiful - and what a track too
LEROY TAYLOR - TAKIN' MY TIME - SHRINE DEMO VG++ 150 SOLD
Much more R&B than the majority of the Shrine releases but I think this is the first one the label. In good shape but with a few pops and ticks here and there, small scratch for the intro.
THE VONTASTICS - NEVER LET YOUR LOVE GROW COLD - ST LAWRENCE M- 40 SOLD
Good uptempo dancer, the chorus of this sounds just like "I'll Keep On Holding On" to me
PERCY WIGGINS - IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH (FOR ME TO FALL IN LOVE) - RCA DEMO M- 75
Mint copy, tiny bit of pencil on label
SCOTTY WILLIAMS - FEAR - MONA LEE M- 100
Stafford biggie
LITTLE MARION - LET ME BACK IN YOUR ARMS - DESTINATION DEMO EX+ 60
Great copy, great backing, not sure about the vocalist! Rare one though, books at three figures.
THE TONETTES - I GOTTA KNOW - DYNAMIC EX 50
Pounding female dancer from Texas
BOBBY BASKERVILLE - GOTCHA WHERE I WANCHA - DOT DEMO EX 30
Forgotten Cats stormer
KENT MEADE & THE REMINGTON SUNSHINE - FUNKY TO ME - MAGIC CARPET M- 30
Big revived 70's dancer a couple of years back
ORIGINALS OF SIGHT & SOUNDS - LONG BOOTS - JJI M- 50
Someone should take a chance on this, what a belting dancer it is and with that great intro "boots, boots' boots"...love it
JOHN ROWLES - WHAT GREATER LOVE - KAPP DEMO M- 30
Great version of the Jack Hammer / Little Anthony track, this was never released as a single in the UK. Vocalist is a bit of a pub singer, backing is tremendous
THE WINSTONS - COLOR HIM FATHER - UK PYE INTERNATIONAL M- 30
Now rare UK release from 1969. "Amen Brother" on the B side for those who like their breakbeats
