A few nice records still here! Shipping additional, Paypal as "Friends & Family" or with fees percentage added, PM to reserve.

Gabrielairs - Try Jesus / Moving Up Stairs (Gospel Express) EX £120
Rare storming funky gospel soul with Northern dancefloor appeal, still very much unknown and tipped to go big. Has a bit of noise on the lead in and out wax inherent in all copies of this record, dissipates as soon as the music kicks in though. Clip from the actual disc here:

Anthony Burns - Doing What You Need To Do pt. 1/pt. 2 (Castleway) EX £120
Banger altert! Killer lo-fi deep funk two-sider that's just pure energy with mean breaks for the B-Boys. X's in felt on both sides, otherwise this is a pretty pristine copy of a tune that does not surface often.

"Virtue Ministry Gospel Choir" C/U VG to VG+ **OFFERS**
Extremely rare gospel disco funk banger for those who want something divine and different! This is my last and personal copy after letting go of a single spare a while back. Had this one covered up for nearly a year without seeing a single copy come up for sale, and unlikely to see more turn up any time soon. Looking for offers over £100, have a listen and judge for yourself:

The Enter-Prize - The Tug / Music Street (Doc's) NM £40
Killer low slung funk slow burner from a group of Midwest misfits. Supremely moody sound here. Oddly originally pressed on clear blue wax.

Ebony Diamonds - I'm So Lucky / Same (EDI) EX £30
Gorgeous floating crossover modern soul, previously unissued and brought forth by the man Russell Paine and his Super Disco Edits imprint. Comes with original booklet.

El Count Executives - I Want To Thank You (Cannonball) NM £30
Spare to go! Recently released in limited quantity and sold out immediately, no small wonder why. New, unplayed copy here. Strong contender for release of the year, both sides immense.

Jimmy "Mr. Motion" Lynch - There Was A Time Pt. 1 / Pt. 2 (La Val) EX £20
Raw, lo-fi, 100mph take on Mr. Brown's classic! One of my favorite versions, of which there are many. Snarling stuff. Slight dish warp not affecting play in any way, super clean wax.

The Contours - I'm A Winner / (same) (Rocket Record Company promo) EX to NM £25
Stock copy of this killer uplifting modern side! Much tougher to find on promo too.
