Shirley Johnson “One Foot In Paradise / Have A Little Faith” (Fran-Son) VG-/G+ £250
This is an extremely rare Virginia release that hardly ever turns up. The hard funky soul side will be the main attraction for most, although “Have A Little Faith” is a fantastic deep ballad. Her rarest and arguably best record. “One Foot In Paradise” sounds ok, and although the wear is definitely more apparent on the ballad it’s still listenable. Some label wear.
The Royale VII “It’s An Explosion / Part 2” (Windmill) VG £500
Tremendous funky soul / crossover out of Hampton, VA, with a totally original sound. Massive drum breaks, especially on the overlooked Part 2 which is a totally different version of the track as opposed to an instrumental. Check it out - it’s a killer in its own right if you don’t mind some heavy guitars. Slight ringwear & wol.
