Mixed Bag Of 60+ 7": Charles Simmons, Little Ron Johnson, Barbara Howard

November 7, 2014

Set sale list incl. youtube links on request . All Divshare links are from the actual record.

M is ONLY for reissues / new releases / sealed records

M- is a pretty much perfect record for me — any obvious signs that a record has been played I usually downgrade to an EX.

EX is a very strong grade for me — just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn.

VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.

VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player

VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape — lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks — not nice.

I don't ship standard shipping. Cheapest shipping is 6â‚¬ within EU and 9â‚¬ worldwide, it's registered but no tracking available as soon as it hits your country.

CHARLES SIMMONS - ‘Save the World / You’ve got it all’ - (Hitsound)

Ex CU from Dave Thorley and Marc Forrest and played by all the big players on the circuit. What a killer record that is outta Ohio. A side is uptempo Northern with a funky twist whereas the flip is Crossover perfection. Some copies were found so the price dropped from 1500USD to 600-800USD lately. Still so rare and sooo good!

M-, absolutely perfect copy, flawless, 600 Euro or 1 to 1 trade.

THIRD WISH “You gotta believe/ Inst.” (LeCam)

Hard for me to let this go...What a tune, heavily played by Mr. Marc Forrest a few years back. VERY RARE Northern Soul with a funky latin twist made for the dancefloor! Total killer and still quite unknown!

Super rare Cincinnati, OH Deep Funk banger. Everyone in the band gets a shot at the limelight on this, espacially the drummer! Flipside is stunning as well. A H-U-G-E Ian Wright spin from a few years back…monsterous 7”…
M-, 300 Euro

BARBARA HOWARD - ‘I don’t want your love’ (S. Reece)

Sister Funk of the highest order and rightly compiled by Ian Wright on Sister Funk 2. Fits perfectly into nowadays Northern sets with a funky twist!

LITTLE RON JOHNSON - "I keep telling you" - (Hard Times)

What - a - tuuune. Killer drums and a soulful voice to die for so intense and deep! I played that as a cover up for years and always got great feedback for it. Still semi known and hasn't taken off so far but it will, mark my words! Like most copies this one's unfortunately in Vg condition but still sounds great. I'll do a recording for you if you're interested.

Vg, 1 to 1 trades only (around 200 Euro)

QUIXOTICS ‘REACH OUT’ (voc/inst) (Blackman ( VERY rare Northern / Modern Soul dancer with great vox…was actually thought to be a one off / acetate-only spin till very recently when a few copies surfaced. Pressed very slightly off-centre like ALL other copies I’ve run into — some surface marks but plays like a dream… Listen here:

URAL THOMAS - ‘Pain is the name of your Game’/ Since you went away - (Uni)

Rare one! Big, dramatic, uptown with-a-beat-ballads, full of fat horns, thudding bass, and crashing drums that can sometimes overpower a singer, but Ural Thomas screams and moans his way through, and never takes second place to this killer arrangement.
