Martha & The Vandellas

I'll Have To Let Him Go C/w My Baby Won't Come Back

Some TMG collectors have spent a lifetime trying to fill this gap created by the 4th. rarest UK Oriole Motown 45 release.

Without hesitation I can say you could spend another 3 lifetimes trying to snare a copy in finer condition than is offering here.

Pristine in every respect. Labels and vinyl you could only previously dream of seeing.

Incredibles

There's Nothing Else To Say C/w Heart And Soul

A true thing a beauty!

A Northern Soul anthem in it's adored, if not worshiped format.

British rare soul collecting doesn't get much more alluring than this, a superb clean condition, with only a small fine discreet 2/6 on the label, you will have to squint but scrutinize the magnificent label scan, so miniscule it pales in comparison to the draw of the green & white DEMO

Top drawer stuff....so very plesing on the eye & ear.

Imperial C's

Someone Tell Her

OMG a STOCK COPY..in just sublime condition, two immaculate yellow labels hugging vinyl that only reveals the merest surface blemish or or two.

This heart-stopping 1967 session pulls some raw influences from the doo-wop era for the vocal support, fluid horn propelled intricate instrumental arrangement is totally 60s Northern Soul embellished by a down-on-your-knees vocal that drips with soul.

A premiership Northern-Soul-Trophy of real substance, drench in quality &sheer rarity in equal amounts.

Leon Haywood

Baby Reconsider

Gorgeous PROMO copy that has bypassed fully 4 decades of Northern Soul adulation to come to market in "collection" condition. Which is rather unusual as most every copy of this historical 45. (the first ever Northern Soul 45 to be sold for £10 at The Twisted Wheel" igniting a NS-vinyl-feeding-frenzy. This copy shows absolutely no signs of courting a DJ, perfect sound reproduction

This will be an opportunity to own a top-flight Northern Soul DEMO at an affordable price, as the labels are reversed. This does not distract one iota from the amazing delights in the grooves or the pulse quickening label-vista.

Tiny flaw, that many will see as a chance to own..... this truly iconic 45.

Willie Kendrick

Give Me Lots Of Lovin' C/w You Can't Bypass Love

Black is rare and beautiful!

The magic of Pied Piper once again is laid before you, and you'd be right to presume this review will be 100% biased in favor of the most-creative Soul-production team ever.

This Willie Kendrick session showcases two 45's also covered by two other extreme Pied Piper talents. Topside was recorded on the unparalleled Freddie Butler Kapp album and the flip cover by in the incomparable Hesitations.

It's not for me to suggest which ones are the best takes, as I love every note of each version. What I can underline is the level of precise genius mustered by Joe Hunter and pals is unsurpassable, as is owning this as the rarely seen BLACK STOCK copy!

Connie Francis

It's Gonna Take Me Some Time

POPCORN and how!

There is to my knowledge no USA 45 for the recording...

Before you today is a raresoulman auction debutant in the form of an extremely RARE 1962 UK DEMO!

The versatile Ms. Francis seemed to a vocal chameleon equally at ease with Country, Rock & Roll, Pop, Teen or this compelling style of down-n-dirty-get-ya-ass-on-the-dance-floor 60s that's can only be categorized as Popcorn Northern Soul of the most-infectious kind.

Love it to bits, but love the scan even more...

Ty Karim

I Ain't Lying C/w Only A Fool

This lady is heralded as perhaps the most important Soul Sister contributor to Northern Soul ever. Every single recording is considered a trophy, so we thought how about listing her most neglected title.

How could this 45 not have rocked every house and club on the Island as some point during the last 4 decades. It is after all, another top-drawer explosive sister-soul session, that would detonate any dance-floor into self-destruction.

Soundfile attached is at the designed 45rpm. NB play the a-side @ 43rpm and the record lifts yet an other notch. We'll leave the desired RPM to the future owner, who like me most probably will say I'll any Ty Karim 45 @ any speed this lady IS the Queen of NS.

Spellbinders

The Magic Of The Spellbinders - Mono Promo

This may be the longest soundfile we have ever put on the site, because this 1966 New York session crafted one of the finest vocal-group albums ever.

Only The Hesitations or The Metros LP's get close to matching the richness and quality this Van McCoy and Dave Kapralik's collaboration.

We've picked 7 tracks from the PROMO, but could easily have recorded all 10 as the entire album arranged & conducted by Van McCoy offers sheer vocal group brilliance. Check out the exceedingly impressive soundfile - that'll give plenty of you the time to drool over the label & sleeve scan.

You'll soon notice some killer Northern Soul tracks that never achieved 45 release.

Bob Shivers, Jimmy Wright, Ben Grant, McArthur Munford & Elouise Pennington you are absolutely MAGIC!

Jock Mitchell

Not A Chance In A Million C/w I Got To Know

The name Barney Duke Browner and Impact records sparks fond memories of his talents with the pen and the console.

Duke Browner writes and guides Jock Mictchell through this bellowing horn crammed session which Jock proves he is the Biggest voice on the block. Man, this guy deliverS a song, riding wave after wave of blaring brass in an unfaltering defiant manner - of hey there's "NOT A CHANCE IN A MILLION". Flip it over and the tune is so nearly as good, two totally terrific Northern Soul dancers of the most powerful type.

But the aspect that strikes me about this offering is the sublime condition. Rarely do you meet an Impact 45 without the RED label being faded or sporting varying degrees of ring wear. Equally, rarely do you ever meet this title without signs of NS DJ abused.

Gaze upon the solid-red label, unblemished! check out the note-perfect soundfile.. Some copy this is...flawless

Jeffrey

Some Kind Of Love

Small label Maryland D.I.Y. release from Jeffrey, that is dead-right for the landslide dance movement toward 70s & 80s indies with a sprinkling of funky attitude.

Smooth as silk arrangement pumped up by some funk guitar licking. Superb, and spilling over with all te correct ingredients for a bigger ticket.

Click the soundfile and bathe it's it's obvious potential...

A Man In Love (is Handicapped Some)

Let's keep this review short and sweet.

A Georgia creation that will lift your spirits and demand ownership.

As you can tell, this is one of my all-time favourite records..sound-file reveals why...

Torch Program Flyer & Membership Card

1972 Torch - Tunstall Stoke On Trent

Glossy finish pocket-size November 1972 flyer for forthcoming events.

Announcing the legendary "The Kingspinners" resident DJ line-up of KEITHMINSHALL, MARTYN ELLIS & ALAN DAY.

November the 11th - DORIS TROY and her 10-piece soul show, made their Torch debut appearance, and proudly boasting a "SUPER_SOUL SCOOP" with FONTELLA BASS performing on the 25th. November.

Admission for the two live acts & all-night Northern Soul was 70p

Printed both sides, it's interesting to see the rivalry between the Catacombs, Blackpool Mecca etc. in 1972 as the very last sales pitch made on this flyerr is: "Our ALL-NIGHTER October 14th. visited by 13 other DJ's - Thanks for te compliments!

13 other DJ's had to be there to see what records the "Torch" was playing and why near 9,000 members had already joined.

Gold finish membership card is # 8544.

It is unreasonable to expect these membership cards, or pocket sized flyers to be ever experience in Mint. The "Torch" was the amphetamine fueled nerve center of the English Soul-scene of the era. The hot steamy, crowded and bustling atmosphere and all night dancing cause more than a few creases to the fans pocket contents.

40 years on, this neat presentation is a vital artifact in the history of Northern Soul..

Thumpin' 1964 Nashville vocal-group Northern Soul brimming with jubilant energy as the team bounce of each others enthusiasm creating an uplifting blend of soul & doo-wop. Check out the range of vocal pitches and how they seamlessly knit together.

This is exactly how a vocal-session with your buddies should end up sounding, then add a mad-sax-man and the job is complete.

Just made me feel, so much better listening to that...for a 3rd time..

Not a bad price for that one .......

Edited August 8, 201212 yr by DELORENZO

ty karim and bill wright did ok i guess

Spellbinders LP - great album, but only £75 tops in the real world.

Be interested to see what a UK Valadiers, or Mike and the Modifiers would fetch since Martha raised over £800 (record collector books it at £400 , and Manship himself rated it at £561 - his previous auction high)

i sold John a full set or motown Orioles in 1989 mind i did get Magnetics Lady in green and Kell Osborne A law against the heartbreaker with the proceeds

Spellbinders LP - great album, but only £75 tops in the real world.

Only £50 on my site - mind you mine is only an issue and I think it may also be stereo - what an album though!

Rubbish Ted, I think Johns price is about right. Did I happen to say I have one for sale that is well used, but plays perfect. Sure I could do about a 70% discount of Mr Manships price :P

Ps a fiver to you Ted if you delete the link

A white demo of it might just get some where close

bet you didnt pay a fiver for it

I bought this one for $15 on Ebay last week, Mono copy
