70’s & 80’s Style

 

Dancers, bouncers, floaters; uptempo, mid and the odd down tempo sweet thang.

All are in at least Ex condition unless stated otherwise. 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 – IT’S NOT JUST A VAGUELY AMUSING READ, THAR LIES IMPORTANT INFO ***

 

The Escorts – All We Need Is Another Chance / Ooh Baby Baby / Look Over Your Shoulder / By The Time I Get To Phoenix – Alithia demo £20 vg++ a rare, 7”, 4 track EP showcasing the seminal prison LP ‘All We Need Is Another Chance’; recorded by George Kerr within the walls of New Jersey's Rahway State Correctional Facility, where the guys were doing time. Not just a worthy piece of soul history, it also sounds the part: the title track is a fine, urgent 70’s dancer; ‘Phoenix’ a mid-tempo take in Isaac Hayes, while OBB and LOYS are sublime sweet soul tunes.

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 first for shipping rates

• PayPal or Bank Transfer only. If using PayPal, please pay as a gift, or add 5% to the total (inc P&P) if you choose to pay as a business transaction

• All are at least in Ex condition unless stated otherwise

• Honest Al’s money back guarantee on safe return within 14 days of you receiving a record, 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 beware: a firm ‘GTF’ may be the response

Right, that’s yer lot – have a cracking weekend and let’s be ‘avin yer. Cheers
