***NORTHERN SOUL ORIGINALS***

TOWANDA BARNES - IF I'M GUILTY - GROOVY EX 25

GENE CHANDLER - I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF - CONSTELLATION M- 25

CANDY & THE KISSES - OUT ON THE STREETS AGAIN - SCEPTER EX- 40

Nice red label demo. Some minor marks, otherwise superb

THE DRIFTERS - YOU GOTTA PAY YOUR DUES - ATLANTIC DEMO M- 75

Stunning copy - best I've ever seen SOLD

THE DEL VIKINGS - CONFESSION OF LOVE - ABC DEMO EX 75

NATE EVANS & MEAN GREEN - THIS TIME WITH FEELING - DPR EX- 35 SOLD

TINA FLORENCE - TOO MUCH FOR ME BABY - APT DEMO M- 50

THE 5TH DIMENSION - TRAIN KEEP ON MOVIN' - SOUL CITY M 50

I'm not kidding, I've had more copies of things like Dean Courtney and Adams Apples than I've had of this. Maybe it's just me. One demo and one issue in the last 10 years.

GLORIA GAYNOR - SHE'LL BE SORRY - JOCIDA EX 15

Want a cheap, lesser played but brilliant oldie? Try this one.

EARL GRANT - HIDE NOR HAIR - DECCA M- 30

Nice little touch, this comes with an original juke box slip and company sleeve

EDDIE HOLMAN - EDDIE'S MY NAME - PARKWAY EX 30

EDDIE HOLLAND - IF CLEOPATRA TOOK A CHANCE - MOTOWN EX 15

IRMA & THE FASCINATORS - LOST LOVE - SCEPTER DEMO EX- 25

Again has marks but plays perfectly

BRENDA LEE JONES - YOU'RE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE - RUST DEMO EX- 50

Has a tiny bit of crackle from a seemingly invisible source at the start (I'll put it through the electro magnetic cleaner, that usually gets rid of it!) but otherwise EX+. This is the tougher all-white DJ copy not the usual coloured one.

HANK JACOBS - ELIJAH ROCKIN' WITH SOUL - CALL ME DEMO EX 150

White demo - absolutely stunning! Never seen one of these before let alone had one!

BOBBY KING - WASTED - FEDERAL M- 25

Might be a too rock'n'roll for some but a good r&b sound

LIZ LANDS - MIDNIGHT JOHNNY - GORDY EX- 50 SOLD

Some slight play wear but this a really nice bargain for someone

LITTLE TOMMY - LOV'H - SOUND OF SOUL DEMO M- 20

An absolute stormer and just as good as his biggie

BONNIE MILLER - WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME - ASTRO EX 30

Totally forgotten oldie - if nothing else it wins the award for the best looking label!

THE MAGNIFICENTS - MY HEART IS CALLING - DEE GEE M- 100

Super copy with On Main Street on the B side

GARNET MIMMS - PROVE IT TO ME - UNITED ARTISTS EX+ 20

Underrated stormer

JACKYE OWENS - YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING AWFULLY GOOD - GROOVY EX- 30

GARLAND OWENS - FOOD OF LOVE - LEGRAND DEMO EX 25

ESTHER PHILLIPS - JUST SAY GOODBYE - ATLANTIC EX- 60

Plays EX

PATTI PAGE - YOU DON'T NEED A HEART - COLUMBIA DEMO M- 60

RUBY & THE ROMANTICS - DOES HE REALLY CARE FOR ME - KAPP EX 30 SOLD

If you like girl groups that sound like they were produced by Phil Spector you'll love this brilliant midtempo sound...fabulous!

RAY & DAVE - WRONG WRONG WRONG - MICA EX 75 SOLD

Brilliant

THE RADIANTS - THE CLOWN IS CLEVER / DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE - CHESS DEMO EX- 20

Good double sider

SOUL BROTHERS SIX - I'LL BE LOVING YOU - ATLANTIC EX- 30

THE SHOWSTOPPERS - AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A HOUSEPARTY - HERITAGE DEMO M- 15

Only included this as it's a pristine demo

JOE SIMON - I GOT A WHOLE LOT OF LOVIN' - SOUND STAGE 7 EX 10

THE SAPPHIRES - THE SLOW FIZZ - ABC DEMO EX/EX- 30 SOLD

Nice demo

ELSIE STRONG - GIRL RATED TRIPLE X - LEGRAND M 20

Not sure if this is a forgotten oldie as it's hardly ever been played anywhere - nice though

TAMMI TERRELL - THIS OLD HEART OF MINE - MOTOWN EX 15

THE UPTOWNS - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN - SHANGRI LA EX- 25

I'm presuming this is an unknown - male group, Mann/Weil composition, typical early 60's Stand By Me rhythm. It's pretty sparse though til towards the end and despite being credited to a group, there's only one vocalist on the record. Anyway, a bit of a curiosity I guess.

GINO WASHINGTON - LIKE MY BABY / I'LL BE AROUND - MALA DEMO EX 80

Awesome classic...has 'play' written on the Like My Baby side

TINY WATKINS - TORTURING LOVER - TEIA EX 25

MILTON WRIGHT - THE GALLOP - CARLA VG 60

Saw this on Ebay and thought to myself...every copy of this I've ever seen has been a white demo..this one's a stock copy. Has a little scratch on it causing a click unfortunately..damn!

***RECORDS REDUCED FROM LAST WEEK***

BONNIE BRISKER - SO MUCH LOVIN' (DEEP INSIDE OF ME) - MAGIC CITY EX- 75

Rare and excellent Detroit stormer

HENRY STROGIN - MISERY - HANK EX 20

TOMMY NEAL - GOIN' TO A HAPPENING - VAULT EX 40 SOLD

I see more of the Pameline copies than I do of this one!

RAY POLLARD - IT'S A SAD THING - UNITED ARTISTS EX 80

Few very light marks plays practically mint

BIG DEE IRWIN - YOU SATISFY MY NEEDS - ROTATE DEMO VG+ 60 SOLD

The intro is VG+ the rest plays EX

Kinnell, can't do 'em any cheaper than that!

The following are all around the VG+ condition. Basically, they will all play well but have visual marks and scratches and play with a small amount of noise, crackle, the occasional click etc. Buy with confidence though, these are not trashed records, and they are priced at around half the current going rates.

THE ASTORS - IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE - STAX 20

ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS - IT'S NOT THE SAME - VEEP 15

POOKIE HUDSON - THIS GETS TO ME - JAMIE DEMO 75 SOLD

If you look very carefully there's a tiny crack near the edge - it plays through this without a sound but does have the rest of the VG+ characteristics...if that make sense. If you're DJing with this you'll have no problems at all.

SONNY KNIGHT - ANGEL LOVE - WORLD PACIFIC DEMO 15

PATTY LABELLE - FAMILY MAN - ATLANTIC DEMO 10

JOHNNY NASH - TOWN OF LONELY HEARTS - GROOVE 20

THE ORLONS - KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY BABY - ABC DEMO 10

BOBBY PATTERSON - SOCK SOME LOVIN' AT ME - JETSTAR DEMO 15

A great underrated dancer on yellow vinyl demo

WILSON PICKETT - LET ME BE YOUR BOY - VERVE DEMO 20 SOLD

There's not actually much wrong with the vinyl of this, but it has a sticker stain over the title (might come off with lighter fuel or similar) and at the bottom of the label is the remnants of a masking tape sticker which looks pretty ugly. It would probably come off if soaked in something!

PORGY & THE MONARCHS - THAT GIRL - MUSICOR 30 SOLD

That Girl is for the most, excellent, with some tiny noise at some of the high notes. The B side, however, is useless, so it's being sold as a one sided record.
