I have a nice bunch of sweet/group/deep soul 45's for sale. PM to reserve, first come first serve. Paypal payments accepted, as gift for orders £150 and over.
Sky’s the Limit Band – Heroes and fighters – Marjon International / EX / £100 (Odd but lovely group soul pearl on the same label as Maurice Moore. Ultra soulful stuff!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCBckk12izo
Delvons – Girls get ready (Here we come) – Pato / EX (w/ warp) / £90 (Real nice group harmonies once you get pass the intro which uses a tad too much organ for my taste. Rare 1974 release. Record has a warp which is not sharp so it plays nicely along my Technics 1210/Shure M44G with 1,5g tracking. £500 at the raresoulman.co.uk website.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LOQSEdJx7Y
Masters of Houston – Please wait for me (My darling) – Ovide / EX / £90 (1968 debut for these awesome balladiers who later was known as the Masters of Soul. Clean copy and scarce on first label!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OabZw84Ebh4
Masters of Soul – Please wait for me (My darling) – Capitol / EX / £30 (See above, this is a demo copy complete with company sleeve and has the b-side “Love loves love” as well.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OabZw84Ebh4
Communicators & Black Experiences Band – One chance – Turbo / EX / £65 (One of my fave group ballads, rare 1974 release. BB hole through label, clean copy apart from that.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ycspluysbM

Festivals – You’ve got the makings of a lover – Smash / VG+ / £35 (Goose bumps inflicting group harmony. Both sides of the label has partial stickers on label. Record has some light scattered marks which can be heard a little in the first part of the songs with some light crackles. Nothing serious and still very enjoyable.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6vVtKIHCmQ
Nue Spectrum – Just a little love (Goes a long way) – Flo-Jay / EX / £35 (Rare Compton, California sweet soul ballad. Nice clean copy!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nejjm0K_7n4
Masqueraders – Let’s face the facts / I don’t want nobody to lead me on – Wand / VG+ / £30 (Intense deep soul backed with uptempo song.
