Hi and welcome to the second and last list of September 2016. All new fresh stuff not listed before this time. And a pretty extensive list this time around.
There’s a small pile of rare and great funk 45’s such as All the People “Cramp your style”, Bootsey Phelps “Fun in your thang”, James West “Hanging out”, Melvin Bliss “Synthetic substitution”, 1619 Bad Ass Band and more.
Northern soul oldies in Ambers “I love you baby”, Poets, Vontastics, Moments, Mighty Marvelows.
The modern soul section is filled with goodies. A couple of expensive ones such as an issue copy of Bessie Banks on Quality, Dreamflight, Wack Attack, Fantastic Puzzles. And a bunch of mid priced ones. For instance Sergio Mendes “Love music”, Tapestry “It’s not the world’s that messed up”, Main Ingredient in-demander “Instant love” plus a load of major label cheap but great ones.
There’s a few very nice crossover items such as Thomas East “Follow the rainbow” on True Soul, Sedatrius “Just one earring”, Sly Slick & Wicked’s “Surely”, George McCrae “Take it all off” and Prophecy “Rain in my life”.
The two step section is back with a few rarities plus cheap and great stuff, and so is the sweet/deep section.
Lastly there’s two real nice 12 inchers and a bunch of albums such as Lou Pride “Very special”, a still sealed Gene Chandler “The girl don’t care”, Conti Family including “You’ve got me going baby”.

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.

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.
