Here’s a handful to get my new year rolling. Thought long and hard about what I might need to let go to keep the wheel churning, so here goes...
As ever, sound files available on request,
PM to ask any questions or reserve.
Grey Imprint – Do you get the message – Clear Hill 102 M- £2000 SOLD
(Monster Northern with a funk edge built on great lyrics. Purchased in Nov 16 from a top UK DJ, only to pull a bigger want in the same week, one or the other has to go? so here it is. Looks and plays like a dream with the mildest edge lift on rotation, DNAP. Not messing with offers, what I paid is what I set the sale for)
Rotations – (Put a dime) on D-9 – Frantic 200 Vg++ £700 dh HOLD
(Fabulous Philly dancer, graded to accommodate a scuff on the vinyl, which plays through with 2-3 light pops in the early part of track. With this in mind I have graded conservatively. I saw a Vg++ copy from Germany went through Ebay last week at £1,070 and reading his description I would guess this is about the same condition)
Majestics – (I love her so much) it hurts me – Linda 121 Ex £450 HOLD
(Latin edged dancer, full of spectacular horns and high adrenaline vocals. Yellow demos priced all over at £400-500, this is the PLUM stock copy and much harder to source)
Naturals – Don’t just stand there – Path 5563 M- £300
(May not be well known as this Rare Philly dancer seems to be quite obscure, Xol)
Little Eddie Taylor – I had a good time – Peacock 1949 DJ M- £650
(Effortless Northern meets slick R&B, made even better by the fact he was a guitarist. Hard to find in top end condition and only notable blemishes are light wear on the label and “DJ not for Sale” blanked out by marker)
Billie Kennedy – Sweet things – Thelma 109 WD M- £400 HOLD
(The rarest format, a white demo with Billie printed, not Billy, that said the “IE” has been written over by a penned “Y” and there are 2 A’s on top label. “Groovy generation” on the flip of this household Detroit release of course. Condition, condition, condition)
