Barry Douglas – Some of these days / There but for the grace of God go I – Drama 116652

Rare as hen’s teeth moody popcorn 45. Never seen this for sale before.

Visual grade: Strong VG

€400

 

The Chances – A better day is coming / People wake up before it’s too late – Finch 106232

Beautiful mid-paced Ohio group soul, backed up with an unusual but awesome moody dancer. Surface is basically mint but label has water damage on both sides.

Visual grade: EX, slight warp

€225

 

The Trey J’s – I found it all in you / We got a thing (going on) – Tee Gem 4044 HOLD

What side to pick? Brilliant crossover sound backed with an equally outstanding sweet soul flip. This copy has heat warping, causing it to skip on my SL-1200’s but it does play through on my Numark portable.

Visual grade: G

€200

 

Inspirational Souls – I’ll make it allright / You must believe in God – Inspirational Souls 2121

Acetate of this super obscure gospel gem and an old fave spin of mine.

Visual grade: Strong VG

€200

 

Carl Carlton – I can feel it / You’ve got so much – Back Beat 617

Probably needs no introduction. All-time northern dance floor packer. Super clean copy.

Visual grade: EX, slight warp NAP

€200

 

Billy and The Moonlighters – Little Indian girl / You made me cry – Crystal Ball 45-101

Ultra clean, guaranteed original copy. Essential R&B spin.

Visual grade: M-

€175

 

Spice – For old times sakes / The jam – Carrie 1001 HOLD

Found some copies of this beauty last year but as I’m running out of stock it’s time to let this one go. Has a pretty severe looking storage warp that plays through at normal tonearm weight of 2g on my turntable. Might be audible during first rotations but not distracting and still a very enjoyable listen.

Visual grade: VG, warp

€175

 

Patti Drew – It’s all over now / Mirror, mirror – Quill 107

Monster version of the Valentinos 45 from a couple years earlier. Has been sitting under the radar for much too long but seems like the cat’s finally out of the bag.

Visual grade: VG+ to EX

€175

 

Tee Fletcher – Happy loving you / Pardon me while I cry – Shurfine 019

Current in-demand northern. One of the cleaner copies around, coming from the private collection.

Visual grade: EX

€170

 

Z.Z. Hill – One way love affair / Come on home – MH 202

New breed R&B dancer in immaculate shape. Very hard to find in this condition.

Visual grade: M-

€130

 

Denise LaSalle – A love reputation / One little thing – Chess 2005 DJ Copy

Super clean copy of this all-time Chicago northern fave.

Visual grade: EX

€120

 

The Defaulters – Gentle man / Disco Dennis – P.D.J.S. 7926

Ultra deep ballad and a desert island disc for me. Just sheer perfection. The flipside features the ex-mayor of Cleveland on vocals.

Visual grade: EX, storage warp NAP

€120

 

Bill Bailey – Can we afford / Peace making time – Bollman International 5007 HOLD

Heavyweight Texas rarity with a message that pretty accurately conveys our present-day feelings. I was blown away when I first dropped the needle on this. Looks clean for the most part but had to grade down due to a couple feeler marks, mainly audible during first rotations.

Visual grade: VG, slight warp NAP

€120

 

Morton and The Uptights – Montego / Taurus – Palette 27.047

Local Belgian jazzy ska exotica instrumental double-sider. Features the legendary Philip Catherine on guitar.

R&B soul obscurity, written by former Rockabilly guy Jimmy Witter.

Visual grade: EX

€75

 

Master Four – Love from the Far East / It’s not the end – Tay-Ster 6024 DJ Copy

Unplayed store stock with water damage to labels. Not the end side label looks better.

€70

 

The Southern Five Show Band – Long legged Lucy / Road of life – SUR 101

Totally unknown garage soul with a crisp open break.

Visual grade: VG, ½” crack

€65

Nineties issue, issued and signed by the man himself.

Visual grade: M-
