PM to reserve!

 

Modern & Disco 45’s

 

Dillard & Johnson - Fairytales come true / Here we go, loving again - Epic / VG+ / £180 (Ignore the title! Killer Piedmont production that is only found on the super rare Epic issue copies. Epic promo doubles sides the far less subtle modern dancer “Here we go, loving again” and Piedmont first press has an instrumental version of the same song on the flip. Record has a few light sleeve marks, plays clean.)

Winfield Parker - I wanna be with you - P&L / EX / £50 (Modern soul dance classic that was a £100+ sound before the quantity find in the mid 90’s. Pretty much dried up now so prices are on the rise again.)

Old (M)Pressions - Right on /  Let me know - Brooks Brothers / EX / £30 (1978 crossover dancer which has been well popular last few years. Flip is a very nice deep soul styled ballad.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTxmXE2m0gI

 

Ndugu & Chocolate Jam Co - Take some time / Send you my love - Epic / EX / £20 (Rarer issue copy with boogie flip. Main side for me is the excellent two stepper.)

Crossover/Northern/60’s Soul 45’s

 

Patti & the Emblems - I’m gonna love you a long, long time - Kapp / VG / £450 (Well respected NS oldie and a superb dance track. Radio station copy, styrene original with small red A on flip. Same press that sold on Manship auction last week for £697. VG copy with some staining and light marks, but it plays clean. Labels are clean too.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEyxSPh8pJc

 

Fabulous Flares - Ain’t no big thing - Hit / VG / £125 (Absolutely lovely take on the Radiants hit by three white teenage girls. Easily best version for me, the vocals makes me melt. Record has many light marks, plays ok but not perfect.)

Top Shelf - Doggone baby I love you / You’re hurting me - Spectrum / EX / £110 (Indemand crossover dancer with a nice soulful slowie on the flip.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4KQzj6hgg

 

Leno Phillips - Confusion - Dash / EX (but read description) / £60 (Superb and rare Miami crossover indemander. Bad news with this copy is a pressing flaw which requires extra weight to play through without the needle skipping. Or a player/arm with better tracking - it plays fine on my Linn LP12/Linn Akito arm/2M Ortofon Black setup but require a coin to be placed on the cartridge of my Technics 1210 setup. Flipside plays off centre, there's a vague swaying in the intro of "Confusion" too. Label has a bb hole. This copy is sold as is and I won’t accept a return, price severely reduced.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHjdMs0B5gw

 

Darrow Fletcher - My young misery - Groovy / EX / £80 (Classic 60’s with a dramatic feel. Label has a barely noticable X. Now hard to find in this nice condition.)

Funky/Jazz/Latin 45’s

 

Wanda Stafford/Lanny Hartley/John Strickland/Jerry Jordan - Happy Sunday / Blue guitar - [no label] / VG / £175 (Two amazing vocal jazz dance sides on a super obscure 45.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygEA9uU34Q

 

London Jazz Four - Song for Hilary - Polydor / EX / £75 (Absolutely lovely UK jazz not found on any of their albums. UK original with pushout centre intact, complete with company sleeve. Clean apart from a date stamp and a timing scribble on the “It strikes a chord” side. )

Chuck Carbo - Can I be your squeeze - Canyon / VG / £70 (White demo of this funk classic with THE intro. Superficial marks only, plays excellent apart from a half second muffled sound in the intro. It doesn’t sound like a cue burn, which are common on this release.)
