THE JEWELS - WE GOT TOGETHERNESS - MGM ISSUE EX 75 SOLD
Very rare black label stock copy. Drill hole.
BILL PURSELL - HEARTBEAT - SPAR EX 125
Yes this old Soul Sam biggie is an acquired taste but it's probably the rarest release on the label and it's appearance at 200 quid elsewhere on the net would also suggest that. This is only the second original I've ever had.

Old Mecca / Wigan / Samantha's monster sound.
PEARLEAN GRAY - I DON'T WANT TO CRY - GREEN SEA W/DEMO VG++ 30 SOLD

Really fast instrumental - this was slowed down later and covered up as Luther Ingram Orchestra - Stars Theme!
