A 45's only list this time around and mostly mid priced items. I have divided them into three different segments - Modern & Crossover, Northern and a Ballads/Group/Sweet/Deep one.
Some of the highlights:
Modern Soul/Crossover - nice clean copy of Frankie Zhivago Young's "Someobody stole my love", Carstairs original promo release of their classic "It really hurts me girl", Cruisers indemander "Mink and sable Mable", some killer Philly soul dancers from Love Committee, Billy Proctor, Ben E. King and Delfonics. Dottie Pearson's since long deleted Grapevine 45 "A house made of love" / "Bring it over baby". A under the radar and killer dancer from Hoagy Lands in "Do you know what life is all about", Albert Jones double header on Bumpshop and many more. I also re-listed the Higher Feelings Kent rarity for a set sale price as the high bidder did not honor his bid.
Northern Soul - nice mixture of mid-price dancers and beat ballads from artists like Ruby Winters ("Better", vinyl copy with company sleeve), Pat Clayton, Brooks O'Dell, Gloria Lynne, Ohio Players and Butlers ("Laugh, laugh, laugh"). There's also a major funk rarity in Big Al & the Star Treks "Funky funk".
Ballads/Group/Sweet/Deep - short but sweet selection with all high quality discs. Fred Johnson on Shi-Lush, Different Shades of Brown super rare issue copy featuring "When the hurt is back on you"/ "Sending good vibrations". Turbulations on Guava, Sensations "Please baby please", Spydels "Peace of mind" and more.
Info about payment, grading, shipping costs etc after the listings. I require paypal payments over £150 to be sent as gift (or add 4% to the total) to cover paypal fees.
Higher Feelings – I wanna stay high on you – Kent / EX / £500 (Smooth modern soul on the legendary withdrawn Kent release. Catalogue number were passed on for another release that became the last record on the label. And most copies binned making this a very very rare 45. Had this copy up for bids on my last list but the winner did not honor his bid so will do it set sale this time around.)
Frankie Zhivago Young - Somebody stole my love - Ultra / EX / £350 (Clean Jamaica original of this immense, ultra soulful piece of dancefloor soul. Part two label on both sides, plays the sides it should.)
Carstairs - It really hurts me girl - Red Coach / EX / £185 (Timeless classic! Original copy, white promo with Sterling stamped matrix. Pink ones are a later press after the label lost their Chess distribution. This one is really harder than the price suggests, stayed put when similar discs soared in price.)
Billy Proctor & Love System – Keeping up with the Joneses – Epic / EX / £85 (Very clean & rare issue copy of this killer Philly dancer. Version of the Adam Wade tune.)
Contreras / Sokolov / Milgrom – You make it harder – Budweiser Showdown / EX/EX / £80 (Tough 1984 New York boogie. Unplayed and complete with pic sleeve. Running low on these now down to a couple left.)
Cruisers - Mink and sable Mable - Gamble / VG+ / £75 (Indemand and awesome crossover soul. One to fire up any dancefloor. White demo, date written on label. Plays with a little faint background noise. A bit like the copy from the youtube clip below. Price reduced accordingly.)

Marvin Sease - Thankful for this life (I’ve been given) - Double M / EX / £60 (Lovely gospel soul dancer that appeared on one of the early Soul Supply compilations. B-side has small writing.)
Lost Generation - Pretty little angel eyes / You only get out of love - Brunswick / EX / £60 (Sought after 45 with two superb sides not on their albums. In the most desirable format here - vinyl issue copy and, not the more commonly seen styrene issue and styrene demo.)
Dottie Pearson - A house made of love / Bring it over baby - Grapevine / EX / £50 (Since long out of print and now well indemand 2004 release with two previously unreleased and killer modern soul dancers.)
Charles Earland - Drifting - Mercury / VG+ / £50 (Major label rarity on the superb 7 inch version mix. Just shy of EX with some inaudible sleeve marks.)

Archie Bell & the Drells - Old people - PIR / EX / £15 (Classic PIR rarity and a superb dancer. Hairline, not a crack just material imperfection. Plays well of course.)
Aretha Franklin - Don’t let me lose this dream - Atlantic / VG / £12 (Easily the best version of this well covered song. UK only on 45, here in the more scarce solid center version. Vinyl has many light very superficial marks but plays ok.)
Jimmy Jones - Ain’t nothing wrong makin’ love the first night - Conchillo / EX / £12 (Superb modern soul floater. Soul with a message. Purple/yellow/white label variation.)
Lydia Pense with the New Invaders - I’ll forgive you then forget you - Invader / VG+ / £70 (Promo copy of this popular beat ballad. There’s a second long hiss a few seconds into the song. Label flipside has a stain from removed sticker.)
Bob Brady & the Con Cords - Goodbye baby - Chariot / VG+ / £60 (Green label copy of this lovely feel good northern dancer. Flipside is a nice group harmony slowie. BB hole. Vinyl has some light marks, dancer side plays clean but there’s occasional and light background noise on the flip.)

Turbulations - I’m in love - Guava / VG / £40 (Absolutely lovely girl group harmony cut out of Chicago. Vinyl has light marks, plays well but not perfect and a fairly sharp but small warp. Warp does not affect playback on my Technics 1210’s nor on my Linn LP12.)

Love Potion - This love - Kapp / EX / £50 (Aka Joy-Tones. White demo copy with small red A. Small writing on label. Such a classic!)

Turbulations - I’m in love - Guava / VG / £40 (Absolutely lovely girl group harmony cut out of Chicago. Vinyl has light marks, plays well but not perfect and a fairly sharp but small warp. Warp does not affect playback on my Technics 1210’s nor on my Linn LP12.)

Notations - I’m still here / I can’t stop - Twinight / VG+ / £15 (Classic Chicago double header, a lovely slowie backed by a crossover soul evergreen. If you look closely label has something that looks like red pen on red label writing.)

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.
