Been playing rotations for years, but has always been about £150.00 maybe £200 tops. the crow was a bit of a surprise

Absolutely Dave. It's been played out for years at good soul venues but it always sounds great to my ears. May be it's just starting to get picked up on by the circus scene.

jesse davis - what a great record! ....stafford memories of this for me...
Haunting moody Northern Soul benefiting from a that man Arthur Wright stamping his moniker on yet another Northern Soul juggernaut from one of the scenes revered artists.
Near every recording Jesse made in Los Angeles during the 60s is a Northern Soul trophy-piece, with his complicated crooning snugly fitting the big production, which on this occasion Arthur Wright builds up to an instrumental break crescendo, crafting just foolproof dancefloor cuisine.
SO RARE - I’ve personally not heard this out in the clubs for a few years now… we consider this ripe for relaunch and certain it will draw that appreciated round of applause from the throng, that only truly great tunes receive..especially when no ones expecting to hear it.
TOP-DRAWER NORTHERN SOUL.. that rarity has ensured it just ain’t heard enough.

So different ! many consider this as the 45 that freed up the floodgates of acceptability, as the envelope of what was “Northern Soul” was pushed wide open.
As the minestrone of bold-brass, insanely delivered through a misty veil of Psyche, Funk and innovation creating an incomparable NS floor destroyer… …because when the volume is ramped right-up,..the dancefloor is already in full sway..you can expect only one result..
MAYHEM!
The near-anonymous genius of Stan Vincent comes though in an all-powerful wave of undiluted Northern Soul excellence; with no attempt whatsoever at any note appealing to the masses.
That’s why this well-respected NS classic still to this day polarizes opinion. My opinion is THIS IS NORTHERN SOUL at it’s most inventive and most-compelling…
Flip it over for a FUNK MONSTER !!
…what more could a boy ask for? Perhaps some recognition of Stan Vincents plethora of Soul-achievements would be a good starting point.

Extremely rare vocal-group trophy!
We’ll lead with the harmony stroller side (an effortless delicacy, a masterclass of it’s genre) for a D.I.Y. production this carries all the weight of an Impressions or Temptations session. Crisp harmony callings endorses a wonderfully expressive lead.. A killer sweet-ballad of the very highest calibre.
Now to move onto the even better flipside, that I envisage as the “Soul Essence” “Saturday afternoon” nominee for the Throne of most Soulful-Dance-Tune; Even though it got brief wider audience as a national release Playboy 6001 but still tough to find. This is a neglected a mid-tempo experience ,that has just blown me away - with it’s highly polished approach to line after line of beseeching lyrics, wrapped in a duvet of strings.. just TOO MUCH …it’s records like this that remind me SOUL is the greatest music on Planet Earth.. especially when it’s an precisely produced street-level session with no intention of using commercial over-production methods that wreck so many major label recordings..
Well if you like them Unicorn-Rare drenched in mythical soulfulness, check out both sides of Raymond Buckner and his crew…they are awesome..with “Fool, Fool” being a Sweet Soul Grail of extreme elusiveness.

An under-the-radar California indie that has flirted with the “Modern” rare soul DJ for many years now and used to be obtainable last centruy..
This century this 45 is seldom it ever seen for sale - upon refreshing my ears, it still ripples with all the qualities I remember buying it for.
Dominating Horns make an intrusive entrance blaring the way clear, for an unusual gnarled vocal to catch your attention. Whiskey & tobacco worn vocal chords with a lifetime of tales to tell, is just perfect for a song about a tough life and being determined to become a winner.
Jazz & soul influences converge to deliver a fabulous dancefloor experience, flip it over and it’s just what your wishing for - the same vocal serves up a delightfully emotional Soul ballad.
The mysterious “Just Bobby” has a voice that you just know has experienced it all…
Bobby Montgomery by any chance..?

With the “Beyond Compare” experience of Great Yarmouth’s Soul Essence looming large on the horizon. It’s sleek dance-soul like this that gives you a taste of the style you will be bathing in for 3 days from 11th. 12th. 13th. of April this year.
It’s a place where quality of the tune is far more important than rarity, but having said that, many of you will already know this 1981 Philly delicacy was never issued as a 45 in USA.
As a UK disc it never gt off the ground, neither did the splendid album it was plucked from.
So delight in it’s captivating blend of full orchestra presence with a Jazz/Funk twanging guitar forcing the dance-beat throughout. Producer David Morris Jr. certainly fills the gap left by The Drells absence….
Mood-changing dance soul - very hard to find in this form - and a lasting testament to the 20 years or more of the “Soul Essence” DJ’s have raising the soul-bar right up to and past the ceiling..
Just fabulous ain’t it…
