Rare / Obscure BRITISH Originals

[Pete S]

BRITISH...

THE STRANGE BROS SHOW - SHAKEY JAKES - POLYDOR (EX) £25
Big club sound, lot of people don't even realise this was issued in the UK

IKE & TINA TURNER - SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME - LONDON DEMO (M-) £20 Superb version

THE 5TH DIMENSION - TOO POOR TO DIE - LIBERTY (EX-) £25
You never see this on UK original. Few light pops right at start otherwise fine.

THE RAMBLETTES - ON BACK STREET - BRUNSWICK DEMO (EX) £25
Extremely rare and obscure but ultimately useless version of The Toys song

BOB & EARL (BOBBY GARRETT) - I CAN'T GET AWAY - JAYBOY (M-) £25
Credited to Bob & Earl but it's a second take of the Bobby Garrett number using the same backing track. I've played them both over the top of each other and the only difference is a few more "baby's" and "ughs" from the singer.

NINA SIMONE - BREAK DOWN AND LET IT ALL OUT - PHILIPS (EX) £25
Two brilliant Van McCoy sides, this and Either Way I Lose on the B side

COVER UP - KENNY ROBERTS - SAD SAD SONGS (M-) £50
As featured on my last Beat Ballads compilation.  Not told anyone who it is and no copies for sale on the net whatsoever.

BOBBY WELLS - LET'S COPP A GROOVE - BEACON (M-) £20
Superb copy. Small A on centre denoting A side (no 'proper' demos were released)

THE TREETOPS - WITHOUT THE ONE YOU LOVE - COLUMBIA DEMO (M-) £20
Nice UK updating of the Four Tops classic

MAXIMILLIAN - THE SNAKE - TIME (EX) £15
Just found this, UK unofficial press also featuring Ray Barretto (Soul Drummers) and Junior Wells (Stomach Ache)

ANN ROBINSON aka CINDY SCOTT - WORLD OF HAPPINESS - GOLDMINE SOUL SUPPLY TEST PRESSING (M-) £50
test press for the limited Harthon issue of this vocal to Bird Walkin', instrumental on B side

THE TOYS - MAY MY HEART BE CAST INTO STONE - STATESIDE (M-) £15
Classic 60's girls

THE SOCIALITES - YOU'RE LOSING YOUR TOUCH / JIVE JIMMY - WARNER BROS (EX) £30
Two great sides, such a rare demo too, can't believe no one bought this yet

BILL COSBY - LITTLE OLE MAN (UPTIGHT) - WARNER BROS (M-) £25
Very tough first issue
