August Set Sale Soul List: Northern, Modern, Sweet, Funk, R&B, Mod
Please see the bottom of the listing for information on grading, payment, etc. Occassionally people have trouble playing soundclips on their computer - if you do just let me know and I'll email them to you. I can also email a photo of any label not pictured here.
Barbara Lynn - I'm A Good Woman/Running Back $40
Tribe 8316, VG (a lot of light marks that don't really affect play, plays great!)
Gloria Walker - You Hit The Spot Baby/Walking With My New Love $40
Flaming Arrow 37, VG+ (mark at beginning of You Hit The Spot causes a couple light ticks), great in-demand sister funk, perfect compliment to the Barbara Lynn in fact
The Whispers - Doctor Love/Lonely Avenue $80
Dore 751, VG++ (b-side is VG+), small tear on label, great uptempo northern sound
The Natural Four - Hanging On To A Lie b/w Twelve Months Of The Year $400
Boola Boola 1002, VG to VG+ (light scuffing, a couple short feelable marks. Both sides play strong with a few background tics on either side, labels are clean.)
Record probably needs no introduction. A bit of a holy grail record here in the Bay Area and very tough to find in good playable condition.
The Lamp Sisters - I Thought It Was All Ove/A Woman With The Blues $10
Duke 427, VG++
Bertha Tillman - Lovin' Time/Oh My Angel $10
Brent 7029, VG+, heavy writing on labels, tear on label

Twinight 125, VG++
Price Reductions on records left from last month's list:
Tommy Tate - I'm Taking On Pain/Are You From Heaven
Okeh 4-7242, WLP, NM-, $350
Amazing soul in outstanding condition. Some extremely faint marks from taking the record in and out of the sleeve. The record is pressed on vinyl too, not styrene. And it comes with company sleeve.
Grading: I grade conservatively and base my evaluation on the look AND sound of the record. I grade on a scale of NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- (I will rarely list a record less than VG unless its scarcity warrants it).
Shipping: First class shipping within the U.S. is $3, including delivery confirmation. Insurance is $1.30 (for up to $50 worth of coverage - add an extra dollar per $50 of coverage). International shipping is $6 for regular airmail to Europe, Asia and Australia (Please note, the more expensive records will ship with mandatory insurance within the U.S. and by Global Express Mail for overseas (at a cost of $20). Please let me know if you have any questions.) Other locations, please contact for a quote. As for multiple item purchases, shipping is free for the second 45 and $1 more per 45 (bulk purchases will ship at cost). I generally go to the post office 2-3 times a week to ship out packages, so you should get your record quickly! All records are packed using standard 45 mailers and cardboard fillers.
Payment: I accept Paypal, money orders, and cash sent registered.
Holds: Records are on a strict first come, first serve basis. I will hold records for up to two days so that you can finalize payment arrangements.

Reputation: Please check my ebay feedback under the user ID "kidinquisitive" (and feel free to add-on 45s from my ebay store to your order). 1050 positive feedbacks (and counting) and zero negatives.
