Jimmy Raye – You must be losing your mind / For the sake of love – Garrison 3008 WD M- £150
(Originally released on the tiny JRE label, I can only assume “Garrison” was used to increase local sales potential rather than achieve a national release.2 sublime crossover dancers on this gorgeous white demo, can’t pick one over the over, but “sake of love” has a little more oomph about it)
(An unpredictable coming together of component parts provides us with an awesome motor town inspired Northern Soul classic.An established West coast label, the unrivalled writing skills of Holland, Dozier, Holland and the brilliant but unknown McFarland on what appears to be his only outing. Light label discolouration as if it’s rubbed up against something red, plays lovely)
Kitty Love – It’s love I need – Ru-Jac 0018 Ex £400 ON HOLD
(Rufus Mitchell’s vast Baltimore label was propped up by the likes of Winfield Parker, Gene & Eddie and Fred Martin’s Review, but filled in with some seriously hard to find releases, the Caressors, Sir Joe and the obscure Mask Man & the Cap-Tans, so why not after such a long-standing existence wouldn’t a label like this still throw up relatively unknown tracks to be championed.Just like the Rita Doryse 45 I offered a few months back this release is even harder to come by, with its pulsing horn section and hammond organ break guiding a raw but infectious femme R&B flavoured dancer along, WOW, if you’re an aspiring DJ looking to break something new here’s your chance.2 tiny circular solvent like stains above the label name, minor marks on vinyl, but nothing to impact on a mint minus play - this is RARE)
E. Rodney Jones – Peace of mind – Tuff 421 Ex £175 ON HOLD
(Chugs along on classy deep vocals, catchy lyrics, in track drum rolls and that classic sax break, which all comprise parts of this superbly constructed industrial soul.Half decent bluesy flip from Jones who incidentally DJ’d at WXOK in Baton Rouge.Minor marks on vinyl, plays mint minus, and light ring wear on label, Bob penned on flip label)
