8. Mama's Little Baby's A Big Girl Now (vocal / inst.) - KRIS PETERSON (Pelikin)............Mint-...........a big brassy intro to what can only be described as Sexy, Funky Northern; film-score stuff, the sound of the cat-walk. If you know those sides by Doris that were being played out big time around 2000/2001 then this is just that style, fantastic and deserves to be aired............................£25

9. In My Tenement - ROOSEVELT GRIER (Rik demo)..............Mint-................£185

10. I've Got To Be Strong - CHUCK JACKSON (Wand)............Mint-............and this IS strong, sheer brilliance played with passion and precision in the non-deletable, non-bank account-hacking world of 1965 and still sounding impressive today when spun at The Twisted Wheel Sunday sessions............£15

13. Somebody Please - BILLY KEENE (Dottie)................VG++.................£20

14. To Make A World / Mojo Hanna - THE INTRIGUES (Yew)..............Mint-..............the flip "Mojo Hanna" may be the better side to spin nowadays; is it time to introduce a new genre yet? If so, how about Swamp Northern for this gritty, snappy Northern Soul unknown?.................£20
