The Sheepherders – If ever you need me / By the time I get to Phoenix – Sounds International 638
Deep, funky edged and very rare northern dancer of the highest order. Clever arrangement as well which makes it stand out amongst many of its peers.
True Image – Come what may / Boogie place – Flower's 8022
Pretty damn good modern floater that's blessed with Clarence Mann's impeccable vocals. Hard to find first label version.
Visual grade: Strong VG
£100
Chowder Head and The Boston Beans – The Boston stroll Pt I/II – Delite 1020
Crude and stripped down R&B dancer. Elusive 45 that very seldomly turns up in decent playing condition.
Visual grade: VG+
£100
Ice Cold Energy – Never go looking for love / Everybody can dance – Cold Fire 101
An obscure sweet soul killer with a hand drawn label. What more do you want?
Visual grade: VG+
£100
Frank J. Garcia, Jr. - No I don't really want it / Instrumental – Astro Chemistry 100
Detroit crossover with a lot of echo which gives it a cool mysterious feel. Sounds unlike any other 45 I've heard.
Visual grade: VG
£90
Richard Wylie – Money / I'll still be around – Motown 1009
The best version out there IMO. Blistering piano R&B and a dancefloor filler all the way.
Visual grade: VG
£80
Bobby Peyton – Keep calling me / Slide and jerk – Hilton 651
Mid-tempo sixties Cali winner that's creeping up to three figure territory.
Visual grade: VG+
£75
Carolyn Champion – I'm so glad I met you / Instrumental – Soul-Po-Tion 139
Brilliant (I'm no stranger to hyperbole but really, it's brilliant) crossover floater that's still very much overlooked for some reason. I'm glad I can offer up my copy after finding a shiny mint one for myself.
Visual grade: VG
£70
The Rounders – Small town girl / Come home – Jora 1001
Early doo wop soul and the first release of Jimmy Tig who later went on to record for Tuska. Scarce first label issue.

Visual grade: VG
£60

£55
Little Bobby Moore – The ginger snap (do the) / The clown – King 5668 DJ Copy
One of many dance crazes that never quite caught on in its time, although it's one of the better ones I've heard. Came in the spotlight again a couple of years ago as it was included the first volume of the Hipshakers comp.
Visual grade: VG+
£55
Matt Wilkins – Don't tell me nothing (about my baby) / Getting what you need – B&R 2211
Infectious Memphis mid-tempo obscurity with a funky edge. Very clean copy.

Visual grade: VG+ to EX

Esther Williams – Last night changed it all / You gotta let me show you – Friends & Co. 129 DJ Copy
What can I say about this record that hasn't been said before? Just one word of advice: never leave your house to play out without a copy of this one in your box.
