60's NORTHERN - GOOD 'N PROPER

Alan Walls · April 11, 2017

60’s Northern: Stafford era sounds, half-knowns/semi-knowns/well-knowns/garden gnomes: early 60’s r&b shouters to late 60’s sweet soul and a dose of proper mid 60’s Northern goodness in between. Fill yer boots…

Caper Bros - Ain’t Got The Nerve - Roulette demo looks vg+, plays ex £25

*** SOLD *** ~~The Expressions - You Better Know It - Federal demo ex £45 George Sharp spin from the attic room in Stafford, fine group sound~~

The Flairs - You Got To Steal It / Where You Live - RAP ex £200 great group Northern, mid tempo flip getting attention too

George & Teddy - So I Cry - Phillips ex £50 Northern in a picture sleeve! No idea how well known this decent stomper is

*** SOLD *** Jimmy Holiday - I’ve Been Done Wrong / I Can’t Stand It - Diplomacy ex £60 IBDW is a loud, fast, brassy Northern banger, ICSI on flip is outstanding deep soul

Joe Moore - I Ain’t / I’ve Got My Sweet Baby - Verve ex Joe as in the the Mar-V-Lus & Tru-Glo-Town guy, another two fine sides on the tougher issue £80

King Ernest - I Feel Alright / Hold It Baby - Barry demo £70 ‘Alright’ is a rowdy, fist pumping old Pat Brady c/u, ‘Move’ a smooth R&B-ish finger snapping groover

Ozz & The Sperlings - The Broadway Earthquake / Mojo Hanna - Villa vg+ plays ex £60 vinyl doesn’t look too clever but both sides play loud, crisp & clear

The Radiants - Don’t Wanna Face The Truth / My Sunshine Girl - Twinight ex £60 two sweet late 60’s dancers from the ever-reliable Radiants, on Syl Johnson’s in-vogue Twinight label – what’s not to love?

The Entertainers - Love In My Heart - Symbol ex £125 a proper, fast brass driven Northern dancer and all the better for it.

The Turks - The Bad Brought The Good - DJO £200 occasional Dave Thorley spin from Ye Olde Days, not as well-known as it deserves

Tony Talent - Gotta Tell Somebody / Hooked on You - Vando both ex £50 old school swaggering Northern; brassy, punchy quality oldie. ‘Hooked’ ain’t half bad, either…

Vernon Garrett - Angel Doll / Hop, Skip & Jump - Venture both ex £55 and another killer double sider, classy mid/uptempo dancers

*** SOLD *** Vernon Greene & The Medallions - Look At Me, Look At Me - Minit vg+, plays ex £75 enjoying a new lease of life according to recent playlists, and rightly so. Not so sweet on the eye, surface scuffs & scratches but it really does play loud and clear

Terms (please do read this if you're gonna buy something) :

- Making an offer to buy - please PM me but also note on the sales thread there's a PM on the way.

- Prices - while I'm sure my prices are reasonable, I might be open to offers on some titles, so ask. Worst that could happen is I’ll say no, or maybe I’ll tell you to bugger off if you’re being really silly, but we’ll still be pals. Fact is, I’m selling these by choice, so I’d rather get a reasonable price than no sale at all, and there’s no sense you sitting there thinking you want it but it’s 50p more than on Discogs…

- Shipping - £8 for UK deliveries over £50 by Special Delivery; £3 for 1st Class ‘Signed For’ if under £50. Please note these are standard Royal Mail prices, rounded up to cover the cost of proper packing. If you don’t want to pay for Special Delivery then fair enough, but understand I can only claim £50 from Royal Mail if they lose or knacker a record in transit, so what refund I pay you will be minus the difference between £50 and the sale price. For overseas destinations, please ask.

- Payment - PayPal only, and must be made on my acceptance of your offer. If you wish the peace of mind of paying as a business transaction, please add 4% to the total (ie record plus shipping). If you want a wee bit of time to pay then just ask, please don't assume I'll hold a record without prior arrangement.

- Returns - no quibble, full refund on the safe return of any record, where you disagree with my condition grading or if I haven't mentioned an obvious fault. I make a point of posting pics so you can see the condition of the labels before you buy. I won't accept returns because of a label's appearance, or because you've decided you don't really like the record after all, or some other daft reason.

Ok, that's the formal jive out the way. Thanks for looking, hope you find something of interest! Cheers, Alan
