ANOTHER NICE LITTLE BATCH OF ORIGINALS TODAY…

PLEASE NOTE I NO LONGER RESERVE RECORDS

SAM WILLIAMS — LOVE SLIPPED THRU MY FINGERS — TOWER DEMO VG+ current offer 550

Selling this for someone else — bad news it has a hiss on the start, on the piano intro, otherwise fine and although marked, one of those which people would call ‘perfect for djing’. So if you go by the rule that a mint one would be worth 1200, anyone interested should get an idea of what sort of offers we’d be looking at.

THE BELGIANETTS — THE TRAIN — OKEH DEMO EX 30

Big popcorn tune

TOMMY BUTLER — MOVE ON STAY GONE — CHATTAHOOCHIE EX+ 25

THE BLEU LIGHTS — THE END OF MY DREAM — BAY SOUND EX+ 30

Semi-known dancer

CARL BURNETT & THE HUSTLERS — JERK BABY JERK — CARMAX EX+ 30

Old Stafford spin, should have been a monster. Barry White involved.

BOBBY BELL — DON’T COME BACK TO ME — RCA DEMO EX 40

Old school stomper from The Cats

DEAN COURTNEY — WE HAVE A GOOD THING — RCA DEMO EX 50

Couple of marks but plays absolutely perfectly, no noise or clicks

GODOY COLBERT — BABY I LIKE IT — REVUE EX 50

Same backing track as Len Jewel — All My Good Lovin’. Drill hole on label (through the R in the surname on one side)

BENNY CURTIS & THE LITTLER DIRTY HEARTS — DIRTY HEARTS — RESIST EX 150 SOLD

Blimey this is rare nowadays, and this is one of the few copies that doesn’t have the store name “Sax’s” written on the label. It does have the initials AR on the label. Classic Wigan stomper that rarely turns up.

THE CONTENDERS — (YOU GOTTA) DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO — EDGE M- 30

Nice oldie, remember buying this on my first ever visit to Wigan

THE FANTASTIC FOUR — AIN’T LOVE WONDERFUL — RIC TIC DEMO M 50

One of the toughest Ric Tic white demos — ‘books’ at 100

BEVERLY ANN GIBSON — A THREE DOLLAR BILL — JUBILEE M 60

Stunning mint styrene copy — East Coast press like this is rare

TOMMY G & THE CHARMS - I KNOW WHAT I WANT — HOLLYWOOD DEMO EX+ 25

JANIE GRANT — MY HEART, YOUR HEART — PARKWAY DEMO VG++ 60 SOLD

100% original demo with date stamp on label, tiny wol and a little crackle on the bass intro otherwise a belter

EDDY JACOBS — WAS I SO WRONG — KISS KISS M- 75

BARBARA JACKSON — BIG MAN — WARNER BROS DEMO EX+ 40

Stunning girly dancer — tune sounds like “The 81”

TAMIKO JONES — I’M SPELLBOUND — GOLDEN WORLD DEMO EX+ 125 SOLD

Still sounding as good as it did almost 40 years ago, always hard to find

SAMANTHA JONES — SURROUNDED BY A RAY OF SUNSHINE — UNITED ARTISTS (ITALY) M 30

Lovely mint copy with great picture sleeve

LONNIE LESTER — YOU CAN’T GO — NU TONE EX+ 100 SOLD

One of the biggest records of the last decade

LONNIE LESTER & CHUCK DANZY — AIN’T THAT A SHAME — NU TONE EX+ 30 SOLD

Underrated!

RUFUS LUMLEY — I’M STANDING — HOLTON EX 125 SOLD

Very rare stamped original, I’ve seen nearly a dozen copies of the ‘very rare’ Afford single by him in the last few months but not one copy of this.

LESLEY LANGLEY — NEW YORK — ATCO DEMO VG++ 60

This is so hard to find on US Atco — actually it’s hard enough on UK Polydor — super dancer, got 100 for my only other copy. This one has a little crack right on the very edge, not on the playing surface, and a few marks and a tiny storage warp but plays practically mint. If you want an “under the radar” dancer, this one’s not in the price guides. As always, 100% guaranteed to be as described.

LANDY — DOCTOR GOOD SOUL — MOON SHOT EX 40 SOLD

One of the true underrated Northern Soul 45’s…brilliant

JACK MONTGOMERY — BABY TAKE A CHANCE ON ME — REVUE ISSUE M 150 SOLD

Here you go, not only the far rarer stock copy with the instrumental on the B side, but it’s stone mint still in it’s company sleeve

LEE ROGERS — JACK THE PLAYBOY — PREMIUM STUFF EX 30

Excellent double sider later reissued with different B side, this is the first issue

BETTY RENNE — YOUR KINDA LOVE — LAWN EX 30

Was once tipped to go huge — never did — nice girly fingersnapper. Tape mark on label

THE SECRETS — I FEEL A THRILL COMING ON — OMEN ISSUE EX- 70

This is a super-rare green label issue, first I’ve ever seen I think, looks a little used but plays totally spot on

HELEN TROY — I THINK I LOVE YOU — FRENCH KAPP EP EX 125 SOLD

Super rare EP with one side by Helen Troy and the other by Babs Tino, comes with it’s original EP which is in great shape, the vinyl has a few marks but plays near mint on I Think I Love You.

DON THOMAS — COME ON TRAIN — NU VJ M- 60 SOLD

The original pink label copy — rare original

GINO WASHINGTON —PUPPET ON A STRING / GINO IS A COWARD — SONBERT VG+ 30

Rare first local release for this one and his only release on Sonbert

OSCAR WRIGHT — FELL IN LOVE — FAIRMOUNT DEMO VG++ 75 SOLD

Just a few light pops on this one. Brilliant midtempo dancer. Striped label.

NANCY WILCOX — COMING ON STRONG — RCA DEMO EX 40

Classic dancer

LARRY WILLIAMS — YOU ASK FOR ONE GOOD REASON / I AM THE ONE — OKEH M- 50 SOLD

Brilliant double sider

ERNIE & ED — INDICATION — UK JAYBOY M- 185 SOLD

Hi Pete

Can I let you know tomorrow if I want Beverley Ann Gibson as someone was in the

Process of picking it up for me. I will email him now and let you know first thing, I don't even know what he was asking so I will state your price and condition. Sorry to do this but I want to seem fair and like I say I want it and will let you know before 10am and pay with PayPal.

Cheers Paul Kidd.
