Alan Walls Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) 60’s Northern: Proper, Quality Tackle – Nae Pish! Bangers, clangers, chuggers and buggers; stompers, rompers, rumpers, pumpers and trumpers; heavy on the Stafford vibe with the odd, overlooked Wigan gem… *ALL AT LEAST EX CONDITION UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED * PLEASE READ THE T&C’S AT THE BOTTOM* 1. The Chessmen – Why Can’t I Be Your Man/Nothing But You – Chess £35 ye olde classic but by jingo, Nothing But You is the gem side here, a gorgeous mid tempo that borrows heavily from The Temptations ‘It’s Growing’. Some surface scrathches on this side, vg++ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbt2aC1_WbQsounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw1WEh2Fv3k *** SOLD *** 2. Top Shelf – No Second Thoughts / Give It Up – Lolo £30 another fabbytastic double sider; great uptempo dancer, with a beautiful, sweet soul reworking of Jerry Butler’s ‘ Giving Up On Love’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIO8FWUsXOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bIHj2PBNOw 3. The O’Jays – No Time For You – Imperial £80 rarer back issue of this classic, Pied Piper production. Beefier, dancier version of The Commands’ original on Dynamic; as legend has it, The Commands often supported when The O’Jays toured Texas, which was how the Philly boys were moved to cut their own version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbpl9l6UVUg 4. The New People – I’m Losing You – All Star £25 jaunty, full-o’-beans Chicago dancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku7fTUhDaJA 5. William Hunt – Would You Believe – Streamside £60 superb, soulful mid tempo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH5W5oUV0o4 6. TSU Toronados – Only Inside – Ovide £40 haunting, gritty, emotionally charged Stafford gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czkz8VLz_sM 7. Earl Gains – It’s Worth Anything – HBR *demo* £20 a teeth gnashing, fist pumping, gritty 6T’s grinder if there ever was one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66HIo-IJh4E 8. Marvin Smith – Love Ain’t Nothing But Pain / I Want – Brunswick £20 cracking double sider of big Carl Davis/Chicago productions. Note the botched drill hole attempt that eats into the centre – it looks odd but does not affect play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO2CiXWG2_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsWJdhskpcg *** SOLD *** 9. The Promatics – Sugar Pie – Jo Jo £25 yet another Northern dancer with that great ‘Time’s A Wasting’ backing track. On the rarer label with the blue text. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-gCTazYeVg 10. The Spellbinders – We’re Acting Like Lovers – Columbia *demo* £25 stone classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNntzlyxdqw 11. Carl Hall – I Don’t Want To Be Your Used To Be – Loma £45 big, bold, brassy pounder, with Carl doing that screaming-his-head-off-like-a-good-‘un thing he does so well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knBvMRwHDAU ***SOLD*** 12. The Dells – Inspiration – Chess £20 *single sided demo* big, loud, strings ‘n things stomper with Marvin Junior roaring away in fine style! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jJLfEBvoco 13. The Puzzles – I Need You / My Sweet Baby – Fatback £60 2 stonking sides of real, old skool Northern that seldom turns up. Unfortunately, both sides bear scuffs, surface scratches and that weird discolouration. VG+ and this is reflected in the price, but really, they sound much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3pCcBhujIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F1XSZFvNUc Ok, usual jive applies: • YouTube clips are not my records, I’ve included them to let you hear something new or remind you how good these are. My records are pictured. • PM your interest, but add a comment that the PM’s on the way • Orders under £50 add £3 for shipping by First Class Signed For; over £50 add £8 for Special Delivery. You can opt out of SD at your own risk, but you’ll only be compensated up to £50 if the records are lost or knackered in the post. Overseas customers – please ask for shipping rate • PayPal only, and as Friends/Family. Add 4% to the total (inc P&P) if paying as a business transaction • All are at least in Ex condition unless stated otherwise • Honest Al’s money back guarantee on safe return of a purchase if you disagree with my vinyl grading • Wanna haggle on price? They’re all well priced as it is, but go ahead - it does no harm to ask, but a polite ‘GTF’ may be the response… Right, that’s yer lot – let’s be ‘avin yer!
