£184 for Embers 'First Time' looks a bargain to me - don't see it for sale very often and would have expected a good £250?

Was thinking the same, I haven't a clue with ref it's rarity, but it's one of those records that people keep a hold of - Pssst, I would even say it was a £400.00 record. Yeh it seems I'm

Put me down for any of the usual outraged cliches for the Delreys Inc. Honey and the Bees was low for the way John's auction goes. If I could have swopped my Delreys Inc for that Arctic ki
What greater love hath a man who dedicates his life to Northern Soul..?
In contrast to the wonderful Little Anthony original version served with that honeyed falsetto we love so much… Brits Mike Vickers & Noel Walker choose the booming vocal of Jack Hammer to convey the momentous lyrics of Teddy Randazzo, Richie Adams & Victoria Pike lifting the production into Northern Soul territory.
Note this adaptation never achieved a USA release and today is receiving regular NS Turntable excursions, that in past times had been sadly all too infrequent…
Good to hear DJ’s dropping the needle on tunes like this, because they are instantly familiar and this version being an instant crowd-pleaser.
Condition is flawless, throughout.

One of a few rare Northern Soul classics enjoying a turntable renaissance, but NOT as oldies play, just the opposite, as this an essential rarity perfectly fitting the dancefloor-demands of the recent “Funk” invasion being triggered across Europe.
This former Blackpool Mecca & Cleethorpes 70s Anthem has everything it takes to sit snugly into the upfront DJ sets and is doing just that, whilst also igniting euphoric recall within the Old-School Cleggy and Highland Room hearts.
It’s ear-pricking subtle intro, suddenly explodes with a lead vocal howling out a quest to find “A Home”…convincing delivered, riding a marvelous wah-wah propelled arrangement as his teammates scream the chorus in the background.. Killer!
I can vividly remember the East-Coast dancefloor response, as the stylus cut into those exclusive opening bars.. I also recently witnessed and even stronger response .. perfect for today and back BIGGER THAN EVER!
This is of course the authentic original FIRST press in blinding flawless condition, so very near STONE-MINT!

If you’re gonna chase the true classic Northern Soul treasures, we think you’ll find this USA Promo copy one that seldom turns up in such perfect condition.
Almost since it’s release this tune has graced the turntables of Britain’s Soul clubs and remember Nottingham’s legendary BRIT CLUB playing this to a very appreciative crowd as early as 1970. Perhaps that one was on the impossible UK Stateside label, but I hasten to add this 1967 New Yorker as a PROMO copy is no easy catch either..
From the man who Doo-Wopped the lyrics “Under The Boardwalk” so deeply on the Drifters hit comes compelling Northern Soul that failed miserably on both sides of the Atlantic… how did that happen? It just a awesome tune.. that today sounDs better than ever..
This seldom-seen PROMO is as near perfect condition as you could ever hope to witness…

If condition is not the most important factor whilst hunting for Rare Soul - look away now!
Calling all vinyl & label perfectionists it’s SHRINE TIME!!
We believe the first time this record was played was near 50 years after the labels were lovingly hand-glued on by a Shrine employee, of this now world-renowned Washington vehicle for neighborhood Soul.
The serious Shrine collectors will agree the most horrid aspect of seeking out Eddie Singletons cottage-industry, was the fragility of these 6o’s labels. As under the adverse air-conditions and poor storage surroundings, the labels faded, cracked and peeled off.
Before you today is both vinyl and label exactness..without getting too anal or sounding utterly obsessive, the sight of unscathed glue around the label and a couple of finger prints in the deadwax when it was held for label-attachment… actually turned me on….

Does Sweet Soul get any more necessary that this act of perfection.
We think not, not only one of the finest examples of the genre but also one of the most elusive..
VERY RARE and oh so sweet!

This weeks offering to the serious TMG collector is a more than interesting 1972 unique British acetate of TMG 823 and 821 respectively from the office/studios of the “Carlin Music Corporation”
We thought this Carlin Music Corporation, Of 17 Savile Row, London W1 would suit you nicely Sir; especially as you already own most all of the TMG series and are now looking for those real oddities to keep your Tamla Motown heart beating.
Cast your eyes over this discs uniqueness and like me one “quirk” will stand out above all other. The office typist got rather carried away after hearing Jr. Walkers latest creation and typed in capital letters “FANTASTIC” in the middle of the label.
Don’t know about your thoughts, but with me it evoked a vision of a young girl typist (most likely wearing stockings and suspender belt) taken aback with the brilliance of “Walk In The Night” and just couldn’t help but type.. “FANTASTIC” on the label…making this acetate a magnificent one-off, glittering with provenance that only that office-girl’s spontaneity could have given it…
One for those of you, who know you’ll never see another copy like it as it disappears into the Blackhole of British Tamla Motown collecting.
