This time out it’s a top drawer selection of Sweet, Deep, XO ‘n Lowrider Soul, and the occasional, mellow 70’s groover
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.
Do please read the T’s & C’s at the bottom if you want to buy something, important shizzle you will need to know be there.
1.Archie Bell & Drells- Love Will Rain On You – Atlantic £12 as someone who only Archie’s pop hits, I didn’t think he had such deep balladeering in him. Shame on me!
3.Black and Blue – Of All The Hearts To Break – Game £60 a gorgeous, delicate, well written sweet ballad, awash with strings and harmonies. A tuff find, it even looks fantastic, too!
4.The Chi-Lites – May Baby Loves Me / That’s My Baby For You – Revue£20 that irresistible late 60’s Chicago sweet soul sound, with a raucous, rowdy-assed funky northern thing on the flip
*** SOLD *** 7.Donald Jenkins – A New World Beautiful / Fighting For My Baby – Thomas £25 super sweet tune, with an odd-ball ‘Nam tune on flip that did the rounds on the Stafford tape Swappers Circuit
10.George E Smith – Don’t find Me Guilty – Conclave £40 fantastic, emotional pleading from what sounds like the I’ve Had It guy on Turntable. Sale fell through last time, so someone’s gonna get a pre-Christmas cracker!
*** SOLD *** Jimmy Jones – Ain’t Nothin Wrong Makin Love The First Night – Conchillo £15 Jimmy’s got the horn and getting’ jiggy be on his mind, the dirty dog! Super smooth 70’s, probably danceable these days
*** SOLD *** 12.Jo Jo and the Outcast – Why Baby – Sound o Riffic £25 an awesome sweet ‘n deep wailer, another we used to reserve strictly for Deep Soul tapes back in the day but could get played out in today’s climate
1*** SOLD *** 4.Mike and the Censations – Gonna Try To Get You Back – Revue demo £18 scuffs NAP superb, sweet lowrider goodie (if the youtube imagery tells it true)
15.Natural Four – Love’s So Wonderful – Curtom £10vg+ scratched, with audible clicks and crackles, but playable and perennially in demandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep1UQ2vI1kM
*** SOLD ***Natural Four – You Can’t Keep Running Away / You Bring Out The Best In Me – Curtom £18 now then, here’s one that needs turntable action. ‘RA’ is a groover in the Love’s So Wonderful mould, with what sounds like Bobby Womack’s distinctive guitar discretely in the background. ‘YCKRA’ is pure Leroy Hutson - wrote and produced by the great man but has his groove all over it
18.Sugar Pie DeSanto – My Illusion – Soul Clock £35 got some attention this year, at considerably higher prices too. Moody, atmospheric, soulful midtempohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKaH5TBrJf
T *** SOLD *** The Attractions – New Girl In The Neighbourhood / That Girl Is Mine – Bell £35 brilliant double sider I bought for the Northern dancer ‘That Girl’ way back in the day, but now it’s the sweet, sweet mid tempo of ‘New Girl’ that’s floating my boat. A few seconds in and we know our old pal Morris Chestnut is on the mic. Note this has a tiny crack in the run out groove, just a wee crack that doesn’t get as far as the music grooves, so does not affect play, but it does shave a good whack off the pricehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LByxmkWNs
