Philly(?) modern soul dancer that seems to be under the radar
Clarence Reid: Miss Hot Stuff (Alston) VG+ Offers starting at $500
Taking offers for one week until Monday August 27th. This must be the rarest Alston title. Never seen one for sale before so have to take offers on this. Massive club funk sound with only few copies around, one being in the hands of Mr Fine Wine.
Fabulous sweet x-over with razor sharp horns. The flip is the better known northern side, but after discovering the "I Really Love You" side this 45 has taken off big time
Guaranteed original copy with sharp print on labels. Get past the short intro to find an excellent modern dancer. Strong record ready for a lot of plays
Obscure Memphis lo-fi crossover double sider. The few copies that went through recently landed in the collections of big UK northern dj's so watch this go
Total obscurity outta Pasadena, California. Great gritty crossover soul sound. The only copy to come up. Was played as a cover up for the past few years. A side plays VG+, B side VG due to one long deeper mark. Listen to both sides
Obscure xover with slamming drums. Make sure to listen to the full clip as the song really builds towards the end. One of the best things I've heard in a long time. The producer played guitar on a lot of the sessions in St. Louis including the Zudan label stuff. Johnny Jackson was actually from Chicago and worked only this one session with the producer before going back to Chicago
Heavy Carolina funk rarity b/w a fragile sweet soul side. A side has a weird tiny dirt spot in start that you can hear for couple rotations. Flip has couple deeper marks that sound especially cause the sweet soul side is so delicate, so vg- on the ballad side
Extremely hard to find sweet soul killer from Highland Park, Michigan. Never comes up clean. This copy has soft hairlines on the surface but plays pretty decent especially on the A side. Label tears as on most copies
Extremely rare issue copy with "Love Means Everything". The demo with "Said It Before" comes up but this issue is really tricky to source. Strong 70's modern dancer
Another really hard to find issue copy (tho the demo has both sides too) and one of the biggest modern sounds. B side label is mashed and thus reduced in price
Obscure modern dancer that I've seen only once before. There is a mark in the middle that pops very litely so graded at VG-. Listen to the long soundfile and you'll hear it's a good play out copy
