Nice and varied selection this time around. A strong modern soul selection with alot of musically very strong mid priced 45’s plus a few rarities such as the Back Bay Crew EP, Pat Stallworth, Contreras/Sokolov/Milgrom’s Budweister/Starstream release “You make it harder”, June Evans x2 and more. There’s a bunch of seldom seen crossover discs such as Experience Unlimited on Gaynote, You & I on Cordak, Friday, Saturday & Sunday on it’s hardest format – Stax distributed issue copy. There’s a Ronnie McCain on Triode, Freddie Terrell “You had it made”, Soul Brothers Six, Shirelles on Blue Rock and many more. For lovers of slow soul 45’s we have a section dedicated to that with the whole price range represented. From a clean copy of Question’s ultra rarity on Gold And Soul Productions to a clean copy of George Kerr’s best moment in “Sunday”.
There’s a very cool section of rare European, mostly picture sleeved, releases on northern soul and 60’s soul classics. If you want more of that check my Discogs shop, link further down. Nearly all in stunning shape too.
Not many albums and 12 inchers this time around but all great ones such as Chapparalls 1978 Atlanta, GA rarity, Lanier “25 hours”, Willie Bobo’s version of “Always there”, a few cheapies with Johnny Bristol and Thelma Jones plus a bunch of Blaxploitation albums.
PM to reserve!
Also don’t forget to follow my Discogs shop where I add new stock every week. If you order from me directly rather than from there I can pass on the saved fees and knock off 10% off the listed prices.
Info about payment, grading, shipping costs etc after the listings. I require paypal payments over £150 as gift (or add 4% to the total) to cover paypal fees.

Disco/modern/boogie/Two step 45’s
Pat Stallworth – Questions Pt. 1 / Pt. 2 – Fly-By-Night / EX / £330 (10/10 modern soul. And don’t miss the dreamy version on the flip.)

Back Bay Brew – Is it for real – Back Bay Crew / EX/VG / £200 (Super obscure three track 7 inch with the standout track being “Is it for real”. The side with that one has clean vinyl, the less interesting flip is VG with superficial jukebox swirl marks.)
Contreras / Sokolov / Milgrom – You make it harder – Budweiser Showdown / EX/EX / £150 (Tough 1984 New York boogie. Unplayed copy complete with pic sleeve.)
Dyna-Might – Fallin’ in love again – Dyna-Might / VG+ / £125 (Blue eyed Cali modern soul dancer. Version of the Hamilton Joe, Frank & Reynolds release on Playboy records. Record has a few light marks and plays with a slight crackle at times, apparent only if you listen closely. Price reduced.)
Jeanette (Baby) Washington – Cup (Runneth over) – Sixth Avenue / EX / £100 (Very rare, and very good modern soul dancer. Superior version to the Ronnie Dyson song. Small Not For Sale sticker on label.)
C.L. Blast – Love don’t feel like love no more / Beautiful lover – Juana / VG+ / £80 (Superb modern soul dancer for grownups. Flip is a version of the Joe Chapman track. Nice free from marks copy, complete with company sleeve, but has a shade like coating on the vinyl and just a slight hint of background noise if you listen closely. Plays well but not perfect.)
Jimmy Randolph – You have to lose love (to love love) – Honey Bee / VG+ / £35 (Promo of this excellent feel good modern dancer. Record has many light marks but plays ok.)
David Ruffin – I wanna be with you – Warner Brothers / EX / £30 (Epic feel classic that’s always been hard to find on 7 inch. Promo copy in company sleeve.)
David Ruffin – Rode by the place (Where we used to stay) – Motown / EX / £20 (Tiny writing on label, blue pen on blue background so barely noticeable.)

Honey Cone – Somebody is always messing up a good thing – Hot Wax / EX / £20 (Untypical sound for the label, a real good modern dancer. White demo which is vinyl, unlike issue copies.)
Shadow – People don’t know what love is – Chess / EX / £20 (Superb proto disco out of Washington DC. Basically the same song as Sting “Pleasure”. Grey/white promo copy.)
Tyrone Davis – Just my luck – Columbia / EX / £15 (Very nice white demo of this popular modern dancer. Issue copies fetched up to £75 at it’s peak and this is much rarer.)
Love Committee – Darling come back home / One dozen roses – TSOP / EX / £10 (Killer version of the Eddie Kendricks track. One of my personal Philly soul faves. Tricky to find issue copy with different flip.)
Bonnie Pointer – I wanna make it (In your world) – Motown / EX / £8 (Another “don’t ignore because of the artist” 45. Superb folky soul which fits in the two step sound.)
Dee Edwards – It comes to my attention – Morning Glory / EX / £6 (Personal fave! Killer two step re-make of the Cloe Martin track. Small star written on label.)
Experience Unlimited – You got to tell me / It’s alright – Gaynote / EX / £400 (Superb and powerful crossover slowie out of LA. Reminds me of the top tunes off the Optimistics and New Sounds albums on Turbo. Flip is a decent funk track. Vinyl is clean but label has been exposed to H20 and has some tearing. It’s not that bad overall, see youtube links below for how it looks.)
You and I – Make time – Cordak / EX / £300 (An excellent jazzy, funky soul mover. Sold a copy of this a few years ago and had since gained popularity through spins at the Oslo OSE nighters. Well rare. Label has a star written with black filt pen.)

Alphonso Hamilton – I’ll let you go for free – Gate-Way / G+ / £125 (Well rare Flint, Michigan funk. Vocal and instrumental version. Record is well worn and label has ring wear. But the good news is it plays surprisingly well with the background noise never being close to overpowering the music. Playgrades around VG, it’sthe actual copy for sale on the youtube clip.)
Ivy Jo – I can feel the pain – V.I.P. / VG+ / £80 (Rare issue only Motown dancer with a Four Tops like pleading feel. Vinyl just shy of EX with some light marks, plays ok.)
Us Everyday People – Without your sweet lovin’ – L.B.J. / VG+ / £70 (Excellent crossover group soul. The less interesting flip plays with pretty heavy surface noise, especially in the intro. Main side plays well.)

Shirelles – There’s a storm going on in my heart – Blue Rock / EX / £45 (Quite rare and super good soul stormer. Usually seen on UK Mercury press. BB hole through label, comes complete with company sleeve.)
Olympics – Girl, you’re my kind of people – Warner Brothers / VG+ / £20 (Killer crossover soul using the similar backing to Bob Relf. Record has light marks but plays well.)
Ruth McFadden – Ghetto woman – Gamble / VG+ / £12 (Rare funky 1972 Gamble release. Vinyl has light marks but plays well.)
Billy Stewart – I do love you – Chess / VG+ / £12 (Nice looking white demo complete with company sleeve. X on label. Popular song later covered by GQ, Albert Jones and others.)
Jazzie Cazzie & the Eight Sounds – Young girl / Soul city – Knap Town / EX / £300 (Clean copy of this Indianapolis rarity. Group soul slowie of the highest quality backed with funk. Again so hard to find in clean condition!)
Attractions – Think back / You don’t know boy? – June Bug / EX / £200 (Chicago rarity featuring two lovely sides. Northern dancer backed with a sublime killer version of the Mandells song. Vinyl is clean but has a warp that might require some extra needle pressure on some players to play through properly. Worked fine on both my Technics 1210’s and Linn LP12.)
Smoke Sugar Company – The girl I can’t forget – Teri De / EX / £100 (Absolutely lovely group soul, a true pearl. Wave reflection label design, been told this also came out with the plain blue Teri De design but is yet to verify that.)
Philly Devotions – I’ll never color you a rainbow / Yeah, yeah, girl – Bry-Wek / EX / £35 (Likely their rarest 45 featuring to epic sweet soul ballads.)
Ponderosa Twins + One – Bound – Astroscope / EX / £20 (Popular slowie. I still hold the opinion children shouldn‘t record records but this one is charming.)
Winstons – Color him father / Amen, brother – Negram/Metromedia / EX/EX / £100 (Pic sleeve.)
Show Stoppers – Ain’t nothin’ but a houseparty / What can a man do – Sark / EX/EX / £80 (Pic sleeve has a small tippex:ed area, white on white so still looks neat. Rarer than the Norway release John Manship auctioned, and with a prettier sleeve.)

Gradings
NM – spotless record. One grading I don’t really use – one tiny mark/scuff/flame/scratch and it’s EX. Many new records will not make this grade.
EX – Basically everything that will look and play great.
VG+ – Will have marks that may very moderately affect play. Might have fairly large amount cosmetic marks not affecting play.
VG – Lots of marks, should still play fairly well but not perfect.
VG- – Lots and lots of marks, see description on how it plays.
