Now then, no one likes a good old, full on, 100mph 60's Northern banger more than me. I didn't get to where I am today without having an ear for a good banger, but man can't live by bangers alone; every now and then he needs to calm his jets, cool his beans and just chill. That's where these guys 'n gals come in: sweet and smooth or church hollerin'; lush orchestration or stripped down to bare bones; 60's & 70's, deeper than a miner's helmet: some maybe even danceable nowadays: they're all here.
All are in Excellent condition unless otherwise stated. The YouTube clips are not my records, I've included them to remind you how good these sound or to treat your ears for the first time. The records I'm selling here are in the pics.
***SOLD***Al Williams - The Other Side of Your Love - Crajon demo £95 yes,thatAl Williams (if I'm recalling Tim Brown's review in Shades of Soul correct)
The Attractions - New Girl In The Neighborhood / That Girl Is Mine - Bell £60 another Northern hero in the shape of Morris Chestnut pops up. I can imagine 'New Girl' sitting quite nicely in thiscurrent Low Rider thang, 'That Girl' is a decent Northern number. Note the small crack from the drill hole to the run out - it doesn't touch the grooves and so does not affect play, but the price reflects this
Bobby Hutton - Lonely In Love / You're My Whole Reason - Philips £125 and yet another Northern hero pops up! This is the rarer release, both sides lovely, soaring crossover floaters. Not quite in the same league as 'Come See' but not far off it. I also have the other issue of 'Lonely' for sale, with a decent version of 'More Today Than Yesterday' on the flip @ £50
The Carltons - I'm A Man / Keep On Hoping - Argo demo £50 awesome mid tempo, up there with The Drifter and Walk With A Winner in the Epic Big Sounds league. Nice flip, and a tough find on demo
***ON HOLD***The Herbs - Put A Hurting On My Heart - Smoke vg++ £30 now this is definately danceable, gorgeous crossover just crying out to be played to an appreciative crowd
James Dee & Piece of The Action & The Primettes - Jealous Over Love - Enrica £150 a blind buy, on the strength of the group's brilliant name (which sounds like one of Guy's c/u's). For once I didn't care it wasn't Nothern, the sheer power and passion of this record killed me
Joe Moore - I Ain't / I Got My Own Thing - Verve £75 to quote the well known dealer's comments on his YouTube clips “a ridiculously RARE STOCK copy offering up two potent TRU-GLO-TOWN Northern Soul thumpers on one 45” Well, who am I to argue? Except that these are not thumpers in anyone's book, and he’s charging £125
***ON HOLD*** Katie Love & Four Shades of Black - Hurts So Good - Scepter demo £35 don't know if this is the original of this much covered gem but it's the best I've ever heard. One of many deep soul sides I sought out after reading Eddie Hubbard's reviews in Shades of Soul
***SOLD***Little Charles & Sidewinders - Hello Heartbreaker / Got My Own Thing Going - Drum £35 ye Gods! Ok, it is snail's-pace danceable and only when wearing an anguished grimace on your face, but it belongs on this list of deepness. Normal service is resumed with the out-and-out Northern stomperoonie on the flip
The Players - Why Did I Lie - Minit £60 I'd long forgot about this gorgeous mid tempo floater. Is there another version of this, slower and more anguished?
The Whispers - Flying High - Soul Clock £60 tried listing this before to a bit of interest but no sale. This lush, sweet soaring dancer has bucketloads of dancefloor appeal
