Jimmy Norman, Carl Hall & more

[Alan Walls]

Mercury Risin’: stompers, bangers and smooth 70’s from the Mercury label, all in ex condition
YouTube clips are included in case you don’t know the tunes or could do with a reminder of how good they are, but are not my records. The one’s I’m selling are pictured

Jimmy Norman – Family Tree (demo) £250 HELL YEAH! Jimmy’s a Laydeez Man, from a long line of Laydeez Men. He’s a brazen shagger who’d pump the barber’s floor if it had lipstick on, and he’s boasting about this over a backing track of full steam ahead, pounding 60’s Northern Soul. A Mecca spin, apparently, from the era of records becoming old hat after 3 plays, so it’s never had the recognition it’s quality deserves.

Carl Hall – You’re So Qualified (demo) £65 like Jimmy Norman, here’s another big, loud ‘n proud production of thumping drums and brass and, like Jimmy, another that’s a million miles away from Top 500 Tedium

The Pinkooshins – Make It Easy - £40 a charming, jaunty wee uptempo dancer of indeterminate era (late 60’s? Early 70’s) that, once again, has flown under the radar forever. An entirely different kettle of fish from the previous two, but no less fine in it’s own right

*** SOLD *** The Majorlettes – Too Hot To Hold / There Ain’t Enough Time (demo) £30 main side is a radically reworked version of the Major Lance classic (Majorlettes – geddit?) ; a polished, sassy funky girl group 70’s dancer that’s all swirling strings ‘n things. Real nice mid tempo flip
