Jackie Edwards

Come On Home C/w Sometimes

Whilst we're talking about the Wynder K. Frog Band backing the immortal Jackie Edwards - let us present Jackie's 2nd finest "Soul" creation.

We say 2nd because "I Feel So Bad" will for me and many others, never be surpassed as one of the great British offerings to Soul music. But hey, this is only gnat's-whisker behind...as this 45 also carries infinite rarity and a unique charm of it's very own.

A b-side that has languished in the shadows of "I Feel So Bad" for far too long, click the soundfile you will be absolutely swamped by a Wembley-sized string section, male-vocal-group backing and Jackie's oh so beautifully tormented vocal style!

Currently this is an occasional spin by me at THE STUTE - upon hearing again for the first time in maybe 3 months - it's at the top of my play list on the 16th. June!

It's just freaking BRILLIANT !!!!

Eugene Blacknell & The New Breed

Gettin' Down

One of fully six 45s that the gifted Eugene Blacknell released on his Campbell Street Based label. Writing, aranging and producing some of California's finest funk offerings.

This example is a tough hammond groove from the streets of Richmond, California. Bay Area funk full of attitude driven keyboards, wah wah & bass guitar and a subtle injection of the piano utilizing the rich vein of jazz that runs throughout the "Bay".

The mix gives up a strong but intricate and cohesive dance tune, that rarely come to market.

Check out all this man's work - it's captures the streets completely.

Jackie Wilson

Somebody Up There Likes You + 3

Carl Smith & Gerald Sims upbeat composition is well served by a man who was the ultimate master of tricky lyrics sewn into a rushing production! Blaring horns, girl choir hold Jackie's vocal aloft, throughout what is a blizzard of a production handled with ease by the 20th. Century's premier Northern Soul purveyor.

So instead of the countless Jackie Wilson gems you call upon to delight your audience, why not feed them this seldom heard, instantaneous and incredibly rare jewel.

NOT issued in the UK or the USA as a single and it's a killer!

Soul City

Cold Hearted Blues C/w Who Do You Think You Are

STONE-MINT!!! possibly unplayed until the mighty double sound file was lifted from it.

We have no hesitation in saying "mighty" as this 45 gives up two thumpin' Northern Soul juggernauts delivered by a snarling lead vocal, angry and bristling with defiance! Prolific producers Mike Lewis & Stuart Wiener try and match the force with hard-blowing horn & a bevvy of PMT afflicted girls, the whole thing screams arrogance!

Flip it over and we feel the other side is just as impressive!

Off the top of my head I can not think of another 45 that offers "Bad-Attitude" Northern Soul quite like this one does - little wonder this is starting to get some long overdue turntable excursions.

BOTH SIDES ARE FLOOR-DESTROYERS!

Frank Dell

He Broke Your Game Wide Open

Yes, the incredibly elusive FIRST RELEASE out of New York pressed in heavy-duty vinyl, with the lighter shade of red label and different text layout.

So very rarely seen, this is a Northern Soul artifact that those many of you seeking to file the rarest and first releases only, will be taking seriously.

Simultaneous a monster during the mid & late 70s at Wigan Casino &Cleethorpes Pier but invariably played on the relatively common deep red thin vinyl variation. This record showcases Frank Dell booming vocal style guided by label owners David Blake & Phil Medley delivery top-drawer big production mid-paced Northern Soul.

Proper-real-full-on Northern Soul in by far and away it's rarest format.

The winning bid was £ 546.00

Cam Cameron

They Say C/w I'm A Lonely Man

There is no mention on the label of a vocal-group accompanying Cam Cameron but essentially this is, every note a Chicago horn-laced vocal-group Northern Soul Thorough-Bred. Born from the fertile mind of Johnny Cameron a prolific purveyor of outstanding Windy City Soul arrangements.

In recent times, as the NS crowd tires of classic after classic this exceptional 45 has had an outing or two from the thinking Djs, sparking off something of comeback for this stand-out tune to be currently perfectly perched for lift-off.

Click the sound file we guarantee both sides will impress as much as the rare cream coloured label design does.

NOTE. this copy is PERFECT is every respect!

Sorry, this item has already been won!

The winning bid was £ 259.00

James Phelps

The Look On Your Face C/w You Were Made For Love

The beyond-rare PROMO copy!

Not only the rarest example of this much-loved song and backing track, but also quite by far the best. Perhaps it's the tortured expression in James's vocal, or the delicious two-dimensional way Mr. Phelps can fuse gritty &smooth into one word.

Whatever the magic, this record is right up there with the greatest rare soul recordings ever crafted. Richard Tufo, Floyd Smith & Chapman created something they truly believed in as Nate Evans, John Edwards & Satin all covered this stand-out song.

Flip it for Chicago Deep Soul as J.P. slows down the pace, bearing his soul with throw your-emotions-onto-the-floor performance!

The-Real-Deal SOUL both sides! Vinyl has a few tiny light surface marks - both soundfiles were lifted directly as always of this very disc. Plays beautifully.

Joe Matthews

Sorry Ain't Good Enough C/w You Better Mend Your Ways

The ONLY "Thelma" release to see birth in the UK during the 60s.

Considered by everyone as one the the jewels in the SUE crown. Certainly very few 45 releases in the UK during the 60's gave up two street-level Northern Soul Detroit beauties like this 45 does. Frantic Motor City dance soul at it's most vibrant.

Condition could hardly be finer.

Billy Preston

The Most Exciting Organ Ever

An utterly immaculate 12 track 1967 UK SUE press.

The album title is some statement to make about a 20 year old! But then again as a precocious child he was on TV doubling on the Piano with Jazz immortal Nat King Cole, listen to how this Hammond hero matured.

Partnering and backing most all of the greats, recording for The Beatles and appearing at The White House. This means little to the British Soul fan who cut their teeth on "Billy's Bag" at The Twisted Wheel or the local "trying to be hip" Youth Club, Billy Preston is still best remembered for "BILLY'S BAG".

This album is so much more thsat just "Billy's Bag" for the MOD hammond or Wheeler scholar this album contains fully 4 NON-45 instrumental dancers.

1.slippin' and slidin' 2. let me know 3.the octopus 4. Steady Gettin'

Making five sensational Hammon B-3 dance tunes that would grace any MODor Boo-Ga-Loo set. Every note as good as a Billy Hawkes, Jimmy Smith or any other iconic hammond album you care to mention.

The difference is this example..is a flawless British SUE LP - so highly sought after for more reasons than one.

Marv Johnson

Come To Me C/w Whisper

A groundbreaking 45 from 1958 in just astonishing condition!

This very FIRST record to be issued by Berry Gordy's USA TAMLA label, # 101 and very difficult to acquire in acceptable condition as that Detroit release.

As this tri-center 1958 UK press is eye-popping flawless condition, we would suggest it is one of the most difficult of all the UK Tamla Motown collectibles. Motown scholars when are you gonna encounter a Mint - copy with not even a hint of a turntable-spindle contact of the center-hole, again?

Do not pass by...

Rubaiyats

Omar Khayyam

You do not have to be a student of New Orleans vinyl to know this Sansu 45 is one "cult" item that has from the beginning this scene of ours - been so, so difficult to snare.

Sorry, this item has already been won!

The winning bid was £ 139.00

Invincables

Can't No One Man C/w Wonders Of Love

Taking much-inspiration from The Impressions, Los Angeles vocal-group of Clifton Knight, David Richardson & Lester Johnson part company with regular producers Joe Hoven & Jerry Winn, to be guided by Northern Soul iconic producer Miles Grayson.

In typical Grayson-style the production hits you smack in the face, with a single drum hit, horns take the reins, unleashing an unusual brass and bongo arrangement which this "Impressions" styled vocal group tear into. As always Miles builds the production to fever pitch before the impressive ending.This flipside stands up to scrutiny against any & all big-ticket vocal-group Northern Soul.

Flip it over, and you'll be swept away by what is a glorious horn propelled stomper that again is as good as anything you've heard before. The "Wonders Of Love" was also issued on Fros-Ray; do note we have a MINTcopy on the site, but the Fros-Ray flipside is a gut-wrenching deep soul harmony ballad not the dancer before you.

Note: most all known copies of the Ciray 45 have labels reversed - as this one does, vinyl is immaculate.

Motown Appreciation Society

July 1965 Hitsville U.s.a. Volume 1 Edition 7

Continuing our listing of the highly-sought after Motown Appreciation Society booklets so lovingly compiled by Dave Godin and team during the early-mid 60s.

All this series stands as a lasting reference for the Soul/Motown & MODsleuth looking for the reality of 60s British music & club scene.

This is issue 7 from July 1965 Documenting:

Motown Night @ The Harrow Inn, Abbey Wood where The Marvelettes where taken there by Dave Godin for a 2 hour stint they talked, signed autographs & then to the delight of the fans they "mimed" to their records.

DJ Pete Murray is slated for his comments on Juke Box Jury "All Motown Records Sound The Same" Dear Swinger & friend - Dave Godins now famous column Time Magazine's - Looks At Rock Roll 3 page article is replicated Commarisons of Liverpool to Detroit in an editorial by Malcolm Harrison 2 page Bio of Carla Thomas includes artist pic 3 1/2 page report on Detroit Page of News & comment mostly about Motown, but all about Soul.

And perhaps most-important in this issue is references MUSIC CITY of Berkeley, DJ, producer and record shop owner RAY DOBARD alleged comments of the plagiarizing British copying the USA R&B acts. "Tight & rigid immigration laws with teeth should be maintained to keep the plagiarizing British Red Coats In England" Little wonder it was 42 years after that a Brit actually got to see his unparalleled treasure trove of vinyl hidden away in Oakland.

These booklets are so informative, they are an essential fabric to the history of this worldwide scene of ours. To be reference in perhaps centuries to come.

Solomon Burke

Everybody Needs Somebody To Love C/w Looking For My Baby

Mellow Yellow DEMO!

60s soul does not come any more classic than this 1964 recording conceived by some of Atlantic's most-gifted. Written by Bert Berns (Russell), Jerry Wexler and Solomon Burke himself, who liberally adds his "preacher-style" girl-chorus into the proceedings from his recollections of his church choir childhood.

An anthem that over the years has been honored within movie scores "Blues Brothers" etc. and countless TV adverts that require the feelgood factor.

Two years later Wilson Pickett did an slightly inferior take of this unsurpassed "party" tune, here is the stupidly rare August 664 British DEMOin "as new" condition, an historic 45 in it's rarest form in just the finest possible condition.

Irene And The Scotts

I'm Stuck On My Baby C/w Why Do You Treat Me Like You Do

A Delightfully Delicious Double Dish-Up of Diva Detroit !

Two killer 1967 Detroit Northern Soul Sister dancers from from the pens of Michael (Campbell) & Raymond (Monette) produced by Motown team-member Bob Babbitt. Arranged by Mike Theodore & Dennis Coffey so it is little wonder, it's so darn good Northern Soul ...on both sides.

This example is a "like new" PROMO retains it's original birth-sleeve.

Sorry, this item has already been won!

The winning bid was £ 101.00

I'm pretty sure Irene and the Scotts are from Chicago. It obviously is a Detroit production, but the credits on the record clearly connect it to the Scott Brothers from Chicago. Just pointing out that Irene is probably not a "detroit diva".

He said Diva Detroit. I take he tried to describe some sort of 'sophisticated Detroit girl group' sound and didn't imply that the group was from Detroit. Does that make sense?

Another big surprise this one. This usually sells for less than 50 (?) I think I wanted only 30 quid for the definitely rarer german MCA release. Or did demand increase?

I don't know what it's supposed to mean, it's not important. I wasn't posting to criticize, just give information. Although I'll probably get some dumb response from his lackey now.

No, you're right. 1.000's of people see Manship's auctions. Many tend to take whatever he says for facts when infact sometimes they're just assumptions.

I wasn't criticizing. Sometimes there's stuff that's obviously wrong, what he wrote about this record isn't really wrong, I was just pointing out a weird chicago-detroit connection.

I am totally not referring to the female employees in his office or John, there is this hypersensitive confused person on here who attacked me for nothing before. Don't want to bring the whole thing up again, but if you search you can find it or I can PM you a link. Thanks.

Who on earth would pay over £500 for a Jackie Edwards, i would like to meet him or her as I have a lot of records they would hopefully like to buy ! !!!

Maybe we should run a sweepstake?

What is the aggregate total of all auction items each week. Closest wins - bit like a prediction league.....

Someone can post up what's ending each week and we all guess the total.

SORRY BOB!

One post from dimples making unfounded allegations removed.

I saw that and I can see how it can be misconstrued but Dimples was thinking that the people who ruined the reggae auctions for many years had started to turn up on soul auctions now, when he said fake bidder he didn't mean that the people running the auctions were putting prices up, just some individuals who do this just to f*ck auctions up.

SORRY BOB!

beef ended, i laughed. thanks.

is James Phelps generally regarded as the best version ?

I quite like the John Edwards. JP is good i'm just not sure its any better than some of the others.

Thanks a lot Pete, I would have not explained it better

Thanks a lot Pete, I would have not explained it better

No problem, it was the fact that it was Jackie Edwards / red and white Island which conjoures up memories of thousands of ebay auctions being ruined.

I had over 100 of my auctions ruined by these people and never sold reggae on there again.

Soul City & Cam Cameron seem a tad pricey. Is that what they go for?

Sold my Soul City for about 150 I think and it took a while, there did seem to be quite a few about at the time. Still got the Cam Cameron though and happily it cost me less than $30. Thank you John Weston for letting me rummage through your play box at my house when I lived in London all those years ago.

To those that are in on the joke thats good but a lot of poeple obviously won't be in on the joke and believe he is being serious.

There's nothing in it that lets me assume he's joking. Quite the opposite, it makes him look like a chancer.

Or maybe it's my lack of sense of humour as a german?

Of course he's chancing it, he's trying to get £500 for a £25 record.

Thanks a lot Pete, I would have not explained it better

If you had explained what you meant better then I possibly wouldn't have removed it, off the cuff remarks do cause trouble and different people read such remarks in different ways.

Of course he's chancing it, he's trying to get £500 for a £25 record.

so Jackie Edwards is still a £25 record then is it?

i'm willing to pay £100 of my hard earned ( ladbrokes ) cash, and have no takers, so how can it be a £25 record?

Er - because they saw the auction result and are greedy?

Jackie Edwards used to drive me crazy, i would hear 'i feel so bad', or 'come on home' but never on the same night, i would be in the back of some car on another dimension asking people about it who would look at me like i was gone out, it was only when i got the album 'put your tears away' that i realised i had been listening to two different records by the same guy. 'i feel so bad' has always held its price and i actually mentioned to John the other day that it still books at ( in an out of date price guide ) £20.

Jackie Edwards - come on home is not a £25 record anymore, and even though i don't own it on a 45, i'm more than happy about the result.

No problem at all. No offence ittended with my post. It's been a real pain in other places such as Ebay, you just couldn't get hold of records on labels such as Island, Blue Beat, Doctor Bird etc... it's changed forever the collecting 45s world.

Re Put Your Tears Away

I was lucky enough to pull a mint copy of I Feel So Bad for a song some years back through Record Collector Mag (those days are gone now) however having "discovered" the Put Your Tears Away LP somewhat later, I'd recommend lending ears to a stereo copy of that at around £30, rather than shelling silly money for the 45's, a great album at a reasonable price.
