Kenny Lynch

Movin' Away

One of England's great entertainers of the 60s - multi-talented does not get near to describing this gifted performer. Movie theme composer, comedian,TV actor, club-singer, lyricist, critic (he openly criticized Lennon &McCartney's early 60s writing prowess) TV personality, even sang at Eurovision Song Contest.

But his preference was for "Soul" related productions having worked with great producers like Jerry Ragovoy, and also writing for The Small Faces. But most important to us, is he is the man behind several highly collectible Northern Soul British 45s.

Before you today is the very pinnacle of those 45s. As you would have guessed written by Kenny himself and produced by Soul-motivated Brit-producer Johnny Harris.

The result is a captivating 1967 mid-tempo that was years ahead of it's time. Absolutely top quality stuff that never sold a bean and is now consider Premier League Brit-Northern-Soul rarity.

Before you today is a 1967 DEMO in dream condition - everything Mint - throughout. Click the soundfile to fully appreciate why Kenny is a "Member Of The British Empire!"

Righteous Brothers

In Action! - Uk Sue

Forget "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"

Billy Medley & Bobby Hatfield on this album display their penchant for black music within this super-rare UK SUE album, capturing the very essence of the streets of L.A. successfully fusing Soul/R&B/Doo-Wop and Latin into this 10 track musical artifact.

Chris Blackwell was never one to present the obvious - this album covers the pairs "Moonglow Years" of 1962 to 1964 when SOUL was their passion. Then again, if Mr. Blackwell's inclinations was for the mainstream UK SUEtoday would not be this island's most-coveted record label.

Danny Harrison

Girl, Girl, Girl C/w Broken And Blue

For the Black Stock Copy stalker - this listing is a thing of beauty. A potent double helping of New York conceived Northern Soul snugly sleeping in it's original birth sleeve.

A brief flirtation with both Cleethorpes Pier & Wigan Casino ion the mid 70s earned this 45 a cult reputation leaving room for a long overdue renaissance. The pairing as Big Apple master-craftsmen Bert de Coteaux & Henry Jerome ensure a nothing missing orchestral driven dancer.

Take a listen and prepare to be impressed, as both sides give it up BIG!

Little Hooks With Ray Nato & The Kings

Give The Drummer Some C/w I Don't Wanna Leave You

Extremely elusive 1971 L.A. FUNK on it's very first local label - before it's brief United Artists outing.

Rap intro gives way to a strong attitude-driven but highly imaginative funker, flip it over and you'll like me be wrongly thinking it's spoken word offering...but the lengthy rap intro slowly morphs into a smoothly delivered crosover grrove.

Two totally off-the-wall individual creations from the street of Hollywood.

There's Nothing Else To Say C/w Another Dirty Deal

This weeks White Demo tempter is a timeless classic that has crammed the dancefloors of British Soul clubs for fully 45 years.

Home Of The Blues - magazine when they reviewed as a new release. Described it as "pleasing for those of you who like the "new" soul dance beat" perhaps the biggest statement that iconic magazine ever made.

Note this 1967 PROMO is the VINYL press in jaw-dropping condition, vinyl and both labels are flawless.

Just Being Careful C/w Messin' With The Kid

WARNING time to revisit the good-stuff...

Are you like me, missing hearing PROPER-NORTHERN-SOUL the style that during your formulative years drove you to non-stop on those dancefloors of The Torch, The Cats etc. Enthusiastic hours that reduced your membership card in your jean-pocket to pulp; as hours of sweat & constant movement had saturated and mulched your prized I.D. It was records of this pace and power, that riveted us to a pill-fueled weekend of escapism. Click the soundfile for the REAL-DEAL SIGNATURE NORTHERN SOUL...lovingly referred to as a THE STOMPER!

Oliver Joy

You Know That I Love You C/w Don't Let Nobody Tell You (i Don't Love You)

We doubt, if we need to remind the serious record collector about the wisdom of investing in rare New Orleans vinyl.

Before you today is one of The Crescent City's rarely seen sons, offering proper-from-the-gut soul that those streets willingly spawned.

Southern style horns entwine with a piano to support the pleading vocal of Oliver Joy; as the sessions builds, a vocal-group thumps in elevating this record into a mid-tempo soulful completeness,then just as you think your witnessing greatness, a trumpet break ratchets up this amazing 45 to yet another level!

When it comes to rare-soul mid-tempos this is right out there with the very best!

Kiki Dee

On A Magic Carpet Ride

Composed in the USA, recorded & produced in the UK, starting life as a flipside but like so many timeless British classics, the 70s Northern Soul army of junk-shop vinyl-locusts came up trumps yet again.

So popular was this 45 at Wigan Casino & Cleerthorpes Pier even back in those times of yore, this 45 was not easy to find or cheap to acquire. Always has been and always will be a British Northern Soul treasure.

The condition of this 1968 non-hit is impeccable Mint - vinyl both sides, Mint play side label, flip label is Mint except for a minuscule sticker removal blemish.

I'm Not Ready C/w A Shoulder To Lean On

Only available as you know, as this elusive STOCK copy!

Fabulously uplifting modern dance soul, strutting with skilled vocal-group harmonies neatly knitted into a horn propelled production laced with a huge string section.

The original a-side "A Shoulder To Lean On" is also a masterpiece in it's own right.

A Richmond, Virginia session crafting not one but two utterly slick & precise examples of this popular genre.

Ivorys

Please Stay C/w I'm In A Groove

It is seldom a record holds such atmosphere that no matter how many times your ears greet it - it still sounds every note as fresh and exciting as the first time it entered your life.

This is one such record - totally awesome in every respect.

We'll let the sound file talk for itself, as for this moment superlatives escape me.

Except for the fact this is the 470 FIRST PRESS which just never turns up for sale, does it?

Wow, this sold for less than on Soul Source. Unbelievable.

Wow, this sold for less than on Soul Source. Unbelievable.

I didn't think there was anything particularly crazy in the auction results this week, they looked normal, obviously some stuff going a little high and some stuff going a little low.

i knew i should have bought that jades for £150

i knew i should have bought that jades for £150

my friend sold the jades on ebay and got over a grand, maybe even close to two (it's not in popsike for some reason). he dropped it while packing it and it cracked. He refunded the guy's money and sent him the cracked record.

Ivorys was a bit top heavy.

true but that's a constant indemander and it didn't go for an insane amount.

that oliver joy is a great record and seems to hide in the shadows of his other on the label.

I`ll sell my Jades at 1000 UKP if anyone`s interested ?

3,9% less than Manship, priced to sell?

A lot for Baby Huey, especially on the easier label! I reckon ordinarily you'd struggle to get a ton for it. Wonder what John would command for a Shann copy in decent nick with writing on the label?

crazy people out there 'Pete

Ivorys was a bit top heavy.

when JM auctions' every item is always top heavy ' his write up on the records always make it look very special

i sold it for less than that

Think I purchased mine for £8 and sold it for £30 or £40

Tis a good tune

Andy

£213 for Danny Harrison?

There was an issue on here few weeks ago for £60. A demo last week I think for £45. A bit of homework and some could save themselves a fortune.

when JM auctions' every item is always top heavy ' his write up on the records always make it look very special

Absolute propoganda bulls*it.

I have only ever bought twice of his auction, most recent an album for about 40% (conservative estimate) of its popsike average, the other about £80 for a £120 (at the time) record.

His values are only so big because of knobh*eads chasing rarity over quality and knowledge. Which to be fair is the answer to about 4 or 5 different threads on here at the moment.....

Knock the knowledgeless sheep that drive the value up, not the provider!

is that the going rate for that oliver joy 45? i've got a w/d if anyone wants it?

no idea I paid about $30 for mine ? I don't trouble myself with going rates they don';t realy mean anything

i knew i should have bought that jades for £150

best bit about it i bought a barbara jean and lyrics on big hit for same money and i`d already got that.....my 1st copy had WWYT label on both sides so i was making a minor upgrade..doh if only i had the money so i could buy marcs copy

:ohmy:

that is imo one of the only honest actions you can take on a record that you crack before sending. I get so many lying sellers on ebay who didn't get what they wanted send me an "I broke the record" message. If you're not willing to send me the cracked record, at least send me a photo. I now always ask for a photo and never ever get one, I do get ridiculous excuses as to why they can't send me a photo though.

it could be worse though bob.

people might think "oh no bobs won again so it must be worth at least 10 times what it has sold for so i'm going to relist it"

it could be worse though bob.

people might think "oh no bobs won again so it must be worth at least 10 times what it has sold for so i'm going to relist it"

that's part of what I was referring to re: "seller who didn't get what they wanted". I have seen sellers so stupid that they relist the record two days later. That is almost the only time I will leave a negative to anyone nowadays. A recent "I broke your record" seller was so stupid that they had 3 more copies of the same record in their store.

HI ALL Personally I don't no why or where the vast majority get there prices from on SOULSOURCE in the 1st place? as most of the sales are over priced or not priced, I have never got my head around graded items, such as MINT- v EX+, At least John Descriptions I can relate with, plus they are meaningful, I agree that all his records are classics, but they are? also in the past I have wondered who pays these sort of prices, see my thread on the earl BLUES & SOUL MONTHLY MAG #1 - #23? which surely has decreased my chances of getting #2, unless someone offers me one at the proper price, I wonder if their is anyone who stands by their convictions on this thread??? let's wait and see?

As for the Jades always a rare record and for years always over priced, however when it was played another rare record was played, a proper 4 figure record the DEL-LARKS Job opening? what do you think that it would fetch on your list or Johns??

Over the last 18 moths I have referred to John by his ROOTS nickname, that I gave him, simply to point out that when it comes down to REGGAE he gets the table turned on him compared to established top REGGAE DEALERS not in all items, and his descriptions are poor in relation to SOUL, in fact he reminds me of Mick Smith who just can't stand the stuff, hence he relies on close mates,

From one extreme to another although the KIKI DEE made good money, and the fact that it is a top UK rare record, I think PETES comment that it was £125 last year as a bit soft, I do not dispute the fact one was sold for that price last year, but it ain't the going rate, it may be a dealers price he is thinking about?? and as a reminder of days gone by, here is one Micks list from OCTOBER 1999, as we are all aware of MICKS prices, make up your own minds on to-days prices compared to 13 years ago?
