DEAN COURTNEY - (LOVE) YOU JUST CAN'T WALK AWAY - MGM DEMO EX 200 SOLD
Please read carefully! This one is glossy but has some marks on the vinyl ok, so you look at it and think maybe VG+ or EX-. It plays NEAR MINT no pops, scratches, crackles, nothing. So if you want a perfect playing copy, £50 to £100 cheaper than you'd pay for one without a few marks on the vinyl, this will be perfect. Sounds absolutely awesome.
THE SOULFUL TWINS - I CAN'T LET YOU GO - SABLE M 150 SOLD
Stunning copy of this in-demander - same backing track as The Magnetics "Count The Days"
MARVELOUS RAY - WHIRLPOOL - ABNER EX 90
Absolute monster dancer from the Thelma label - how it ended up on Abner is anyone's guess. Old Searling cover up (Baby Washington). Has a little background noise in one channel from time to time but barely makes a difference - absolutely fine for dj-ing (sound clip available)
POSSE - EVIL - JANUS EX 70
Great later Wigan oldie, now a forgotten sound. Lovely vinyl but a little wear on the raised part of the label.
BOBBY HEBB - YOU WANT TO CHANGE ME - PHILIPS M 50
Now an established classic but really tough to find a USA copy which doesn't hiss. This one is perfect.
BOBBY SHEEN - SOMETHING NEW TO DO - WARNER BROS ISSUE M 50 SOLD
Lovely stock copy. Actually has a very thin ring wear circle but the vinyl is absolutely pristine, and it's a vinyl copy not styrene.
THE AMERICAN YOUTH CHOIR - KEEP YOUR FINE SELF NEAR ME - POLYDOR M 30
Superb uptempo dancer - came out on UK Polydor as well.
WILSON PICKETT - LET ME BE YOUR BOY - CUB VG++ 30
Has some label wear and marks on the vinyl but it plays near mint - the grading is for it's visual appearance, no worries about how it sounds.
JEANIE KING - YOU'VE GOT A GOOD THING GOING - GENERAL AMERICAN M 30
Classic oldie from early Wigan / Mecca period
CHICAGO ALLSTARS - NOWHERE TO RUN - TRI EM VG+ 25 SOLD
Very gospel-influenced dancer from Stafford. Used vinyl but plays great.
PEGGY MARCH - IF YOU LOVED ME - GERMAN RCA EX- 30 SOLD
Very nice looking on this label. Some tiny quiet background pops right on the intro otherwise perfect.
BOBBY THOMAS & THE AFROS - MR. LOVEMAKER - LYNDELL M 40
Very funky uptempo dancer.
THE PARAMOUNTS - I WON'T SHARE YOUR LOVE / THE GIRLS WITH THE BIG BLACK BOOTS - MERCURY DEMO VG++ 50 SOLD
Both sides glossy but with a few little pops here and there but both play great. Little label damage to a small part of the edge on 'Boots'
NOLAN PORTER - IF I COULD ONLY BE SURE - ABC EX 75 SOLD
Fantastic copy, the only thing keeping it from Mint is a non sounding mark on the vinyl near the run off. Guaranteed floor filler.
LOU ROBERTS & THE MARKS - YOU FOOLED ME - MGM ISSUE EX 40 SOLD
Very nice black stock copy. One or two non-sounding marks. Plays perfect.
THE PETER HAMILTON GENERATION - HEY GIRL - JAMIE DEMO M- 100 SOLD
Undoubtedly one of the greatest Northern Soul instrumentals ever made. This is the track that the Venicia Wilson record was built around of course. Old Wigan cover up...honestly if I could afford to keep this I would. This is 300 quid on JM's site.
PRINCE & PRINCESS - STICK TOGETHER - BELL EX 30 SOLD
Cracking oldie, totally forgotten
CHERLY GRAY - YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE - AUSTRALIAN HMV EX+ 30 SOLD
Rare Aussie only version of the Johnny Caswell classic
LINDA JONES - MY HEART NEEDS A BREAK - LOMA EX 80
One or two marks but plays EX+ absolutely spot on
PATTI PAGE - YOU DON'T NEED A HEART - COLUMBIA EX 35 SOLD
Nice version of Teddy Randazzo. Plays mint, has a non sounding mark on the vinyl. (I always mention if a record has a mark whether it sounds or not - full disclosure!)
VELVET HAMMER - HAPPY - SOOZI (PINK LABEL) M 40 SOLD
Last time I listed this I had about ten calls on it!
SPYDERS - I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF - MTA EX 40
This is so rare on MTA stock copy, I think people don't realise. Was played as the alternative version to Gene Chandler back in late 76.
DEE IRWIN - I ONLY GET THIS FEELING - IMPERIAL EX 30 SOLD
Excellent uptempo dancer
THE ACCENTS - WHO YOU GONNA LOVE / YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN - ONEDERFUL VG+ 100 SOLD
Super-rare and a real top Chicago dancer. RareSoulMan's site describes it as being "usually an auction only item". Okay onto the condition, Who You Gonna Love looks a little scruffy but plays without a single problem, You Better Think Again label has name written on in ballpoint, vinyl looks VG, I have played it all the way through and I heard two tiny pops on . Otherwise plays like a champion! A really excellent double sider. Only had this once before.
DANNY MOORE - SOMEBODY NEW - ALLRITE M 50
There must be someone somewhere who hasn't got a copy of this classic!
JOHNNY NEWBAG - GOT TO GET YOU BACK - ATLANTIC DEMO EX 40 SOLD
Pounding Catacombs dancer. X on label. Deep soul flip. Does look great on a demo.
JOE SIMON - I GOT A WHOLE LOT OF LOVIN' - SOUND STAGE 7 DEMO EX 30 SOLD
Classic oldie on a very nice white demo
OKAY THAT HAD BETTER DO FOR NOW I THINK.
SORRY NO TRADES/SWAPS ON THIS LOT.
ALSO NO RESERVATIONS AS THE ONE RECORD I HELD LAST WEEK WASN'T PAID FOR.
