Howdy y’all, been a fair old while since my last list, time to get m’hustle back on! Mostly 60’s, mostly Stafford-y type sounds, augmented with some tasteful oldies and splendid 70’s & 80’s. Think it’s worth highlighting there’s a good few double sided twofers in there, check ‘em out. I’ve added YouTube clips so you can to treat your ears to something new, or to remind you how good a tune sounds, but they’re not my records: the one’s I’m selling are pictured.

*** PLEASE READ THE TERMS AT THE BOTTOM IF YOU’RE BUYING SOMETHING ***
*** SOLD ***1. Carl Hall – You’re So Qualified – Loma demo £50 big, booming, brassy stomper with the wee man doing that Church hollerin’ he does so well!
*** SOLD *** 3. Jeff Dale – A Suffering Pain / Our Love Will Grow Stronger – Atco demo £45 snail’s paced, agonising, sombre soul. Slight tear on the label, quite possibly after Jeff tried to slash his wrists and missed! Thankfully he jollies himself up on the jaunty flip!

6. The Forevers – What Goes Around – Weis £50 the label might bear Stax’s address at 926 East McLemore but this is an uptown stomper that’s pure Northern. ‘Soul Town’ on the flip is more what you’d expect from the neighbourhood, with a real down home feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6irFrpzsfc
*** SOLD *** 8. Blues Busters - Love Is The Answer / Speak Your Mind – Minit demo £55 somebody, somewhere, has a void in their lives that only these gloriously joyful slabs of feel good Northern/Crossover/Funky vibes will fill.
