The Grooms — Slow down / I deserve a little bit more — Shiptown 004
Superb mid 70s funky edged rarity from Virginia. The flipside has a skip near the middle, which is probably a pressing flaw cause I can’t see any marks that could cause this. Also has a storage warp NAP on my turntable.
Paul Smith — Only once in a lifetime / Ain’t that something — Jacklyn 1004
Ain’t that something was first released with I’ll run on the flip but this issue with the overlooked classy mid-tempo winner is the one to have. Can’t recommend this enough.
Noel Owen — Run to mama blues / It’s the after — Star 1627
The raw garage version that came out on the Myown label is pretty damn hard to find but this great, slightly more subtle version on the Star label is virtually impossible to track down. Get it now or regret if forever.
Mark Capanni — I believe in miracles (mono / stereo) — Capitol 3982 DJ Copy
An absolute soulful masterpiece. Unfortunately this copy has a heat warp that affects play for the first 20-30 seconds so I’m offering this at a fraction of the usual going rate.
