***SOLD***Brothers of Love - My Heart's In Trouble - Intrepid vg++ £30bought this off Pete Lawson for buttons at Allanton, just couldn’t get a reaction playing it out then but it’s a changed scene these days. Big production on this late 60’s groover, courtesy of Jesse James and Mike Terry, no less!
*** SOLD ***Don Gardner - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo - Tru Glu Town vg++ £40WHOOOAAAGH! Don’s ol’ lady parties all the time but he just wants to stay at home getting’ jiggy. Big voiced dancefloor mayhem ensues. On the rarer - and prettier – multi coloured label
Jimmy Graham - Love Can't Be Modernized / We Shall Overcome - Revue ex £35big love for the genius that is James Conwell on the FB Rare Soul pages these last few weeks, here he is again under another of his pseudonyms. A reworking of The New Group dancer on Gemini, with a powerful, no-holds-barred civil rights dancer on the flip
Kenny Ballard & Fabulous Soul Brothers - I'm Losing You / Your Letter - Roulette demo vg++ £50fabulous name, fabulous tune! Rattling 60’s northern, long and wrongly overlooked. Fine, downhome ballad on the flip
Randy Jackson - How Can I Be Sure - Epic ex £45 rare issue with 'Love Song For Kids' on flip, gorgeous 70’s shuffling groover. And yes, it’s that Randy Jackson!
Ray Algere - In My Corner / You're Drivin Me Crazy Tou Sea demo ex £60exstraight outta N’orlins! Solid 60’s dancer of good repute, and a typically quirky New Orleans piano workout on flip
Ronnie Miller - Listen To The Music / I Owe You Love - Jar Val vg++ £35mid 70’s, mid tempo crossover thang I rescued form the unloved box after seeing it go for £50 a few weeks back!
*** SOLD ***The Shirelles - Look Away - Scepter vg++ £30think I bought this blind after a Pat Brady review in Echoes, an odd one indeed. ‘Good odd’, I might add – great strings and melody, kind of mournful sounding and a million miles away from the pop bubblegum they were known for. Intriguingly, John Manship refers to this as being "a Shrine recording"!
The Herbs - Put A Hurtin On My Heart / There Must Be An Answer - Smoke looks vg+ plays ex £40 gorgeous, smooth late 60's crossover on one side, gritty funky edged shouter on the flip. Double value for yer dosh!
The Mandells - How To Love A Woman - Trans World Sound ex £30 yet another overlooked soul pack staple from back in the day. Sweet, swinging mid tempo dancer
The Whispers - Where Have You Been / People In A Hurry - Roker £20 looks vg+ plays ++/ex what about these Whispers boys? They were around forever, seldom spectacular but consistent as hell: you knew you were getting loved up, good vibes California Soul . Like so…
The Whispers - Flying High - Soul Clock ex £50 and there's more! Pure class, soaring group harmonies, as smooth as silk with bags of dance floor charm. Gonna stick my neck out here and say I am absolutely, positively certain I heard Butch played this, once upon a time. Just the once, mid 80’s, around the time he started playing Delegates of Soul. It was in a dark room in the north of England.I have no evidence and no one else heard it. And I had been up 2 nights…
Tyrone The Wonder Boy - If You Don't Need Me / Good Company - 4 Brothers looks vg++ plays ex £45 two sturdy, no nonsense, gritty Chicago chugging mid tempo teeth gnashers. And that description alone that should have ya queuing up to buy it!
