Bumper list today, all sorts of 60’s: Northern, Sweet, Deep; Teeth Gnashers, Fist Pumpers, Tear Jerkers; Bangers, Honkers, Bonkers and Stonkers - they’re all here! Lots of double sided twofers too, 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.
*** ALL ARE IN EX CONDITION UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE ***
*** PLEASE READ THE TERMS AT THE BOTTOM IF YOU’RE BUYING SOMETHING – IT’S NOT JUST A VAGUELY AMUSING READ, THAR LIES IMPORTANT INFO ***
Joe Moore – I Got My Sweet Baby / I Ain’t – Verve £70 A staple from the Stafford tape-swappers circuit, real connoisseur’s tackle! Check out what John Manship’s has to say about the quality and rarity of this blue issue on the YouTube clip…
*** SOLD *** The Superiors – I Can't Make It Without You / Let Me Make You Happy – MGM £25 another super rare issue on this early Wigan stomper, apparently! As with Joe Moore, check out JM’s comments on his YouTube clip!
The Chessmen – Why Can’t I Be Your Man/ Nothing But You – Chess £45 ‘Why’ might the classic, but ‘Nothing’ is the side for me. Superb midtempo with a wee hint of The Temps ‘It’s Growing’ to my ears (this side is vg++ with some surface scratching, but plays big & clear).
*** ON HOLD *** Johnny Moore – Such A Wonderful Feeling vg++/ Without Your Love vg+ – Blue Rock £20 two cracking, late 60’s Chicago crossover style dancers. Conditions dictate the price here, surface scratches on view and some styrene hiss to be heard, but the really do play loud and proud!
*** SOLD *** The Naturelles - Love Has Joined Us Together /ShowMe The Way – Venture *demo* £30 Mickey Stevenson headed to LA and set up Venture after falling out with Gordy, and by accident or design some of the label’s output sound like pure Motor City productions. Such as these two…
The Whispers – Flying High – Soul Clock £25 their least known dancer on Soul Clock (1st issue green label, too), this is a gorgeous, string laden joy of a tune!
Bobby Hutton – Lonely In Love / You’re My Whole Reason – Phillips £60 2 classy crossover sides, a snip at this price. Other Bobby Hutton’s are also available, ask me…
The Forevers – What Goes Around – Weis £50 terrific, uptempo riot of a track, from Memphis – actually, Stax’s address at 926 East McLemore – but sounding distinctly ‘Northern’ in both senses.
*** SOLD *** Jospehine Taylor-I Ain’t Gonna Cry No More / Ordinary Guy-Mar-V-Lus ex £55 and it bloody well is marvelous, too: good old, knees-up Northern with a more polished, in vogue-sounding flip
The Valentinos – Do It Right / What About Me – Chess *demo* £25 DIR is Bobby Womack swaggering like only he can, WAM sees the brothers adopt a cool Impressions vibe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_w_zP99mIk
The New People – I’m Losing You – All Star £25 jaunty, full-o’-beans Chicago dancer
Ronnie & Joyce - On the Stage Of Love / Yes, I’m Falling In Love - Alpha £25 a pair of brief Keb spins that got lost in that mid 80’s avalanche of 60’s newies
Jimmy Graham - Love Can't Be Modernized / We Shall Overcome- Revue ex£35the genius of the great James Conwell under another of his pseudonyms. A reworking of The New Group dancer on Gemini, with a powerful, no-holds-barred civil rights dancer on the flip
*** SOLD *** Bobby Harris – Ain’t That Love / Lonely Intruder – Turntable £20 vg+ plays ex, George Sharp spin from Stafford, with a superb Sam Cooke-style deep ballad on the flip
Candy & Kisses - Out In The Streets Again - Scepter demo £30 vg+ scuffs, surface scratches & some crackle don't deter form this Ashford/Simpson/Jo Armstead dancer. Great track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Ir20XfsEs
*** SOLD *** The Ultimations – Would I Do It Over / With Out You – Mar V Lus £35 awesome double sider; a majestic mid-tempo Stafford sound, and a gorgeous, sweet soulkiller
The Drifters – The Struggler – Steeltown £12another from the Stafford tape swappers circuit; real nice mid-tempo with oddball lyrics which start out sympathising with the eponymous Struggler, before denouncing him as being every kind of wrong ‘un! Was this group THE Drifters? No idea
Ray Charles – I Chose To Sing The Blues – ABC £15 “you should be playing this instead of that Modern shit, y’Scotch git, it’s fckin class” - the subtle sales pitch of Pete Lawson at Allanton niter. I’ve still no idea what “modern shit” he was referring to, but he had a point. Proper 6T’s rhythm & soul!
Lee Edwards & His Continentals – Need I Say More / Gonna Be My Own Boss – Lantic Gold £25 two sides of no frills, sturdy stompers which sound stripped down to voice, horns and drums. Teeth gnashing, fist pumping, stomping tackle!
