Modern Soul & Two Step 45’s
Memphis – Inside my love / Shake & rock ’till the police knock – West Coast / EX / TRADES (Trying out a new thing here. Got a spare of this timeless beauty and looking to trade for rare two step/modern/crossover. If interested just let me know what you have. Just one of the best cuts ever made! Was my top want for many years and I almost paid up a whopping £2000 for a copy back in 2005. But luckily didn’t and got one from Vox Pop in Manchester a couple of months later for a more moderate £500.)
James “Bootie” Tuten – This is a love affair / I’ll never let you say goodbye – Ultimate / EX / £200 (Powerful modern soul dancer, great stuff! Flip is nice midtempo with a Bill Cosby kind of theme.)
Shadow – Freedom street – SR / EX / £150 (Aka Winston Bailey. Charming, quirky 1981 Trinidad dancer on a very rare 45. The 12 inch is rare, no entries of the 45 online, clip from the actual 45 for sale. Comes in distribution sleeve, label has stamp and small writing.)
Bobbi Blake – Don’t take my love / Bill Joy – If only I could see you now – M.S.R. / VG+ / £90 (Super obscure 1980 Hollywood, CA release where the artists get one side each. Two nice modern soul sides with Bill Joy being the better one. Youtube clip from the actual copy for sale.)
Michael Valvano – For the first time in my life – Jodi-Pat / EX / £90 (White demo copy of this popular feel good modern dancer. Original version to Contours “I’m a winner”. Comes complete with IRDA distribution sleeve.)
Cecil Shaw – This I’ve gotta see – Bil-Mar / EX / £60 (Classic midtempo modern! Was featured on one of the highly influential Goldmine essential modern soul comps.)
Chuck Strong – You beat me at my game – Music Mountain / VG / £50 (Rare first label and first version! Killer modern soul, why it’s not as big as Bileo, Master Force etc is beyond me. Vinyl has light marks, plays well but not perfect. Clip from actual copy for sale.)
Donald Byrd – (Fallin’ like) Dominoes – Blue Note / EX / £45 (Mizell Bros classic! Complete with company sleeve, rare on 45. Lots of interest on my last copy.)
Sssence – If you want me / What love has joined together – Lance / EX / £40 (Killer early 80’s Chicago double header. Super soulful two step backed with a superb mid tempo dance version of the Smokey Robinson tune. Two small X on mid tempo side.)
Charles Sherrell – Things you do for love – Muscle / EX / £35 (Aka Sweet Charles! 1981 modern soul dancer on a scarce issue copy. Demos doubles the ballad flip.)
Kasino – Hopeless romantic / Heaven’s touch – Spectrum X / EX / £25 (1985 indie with two good sides, midtempo dancer with slightly higher tempo dance on the flip. Clean copy but has the Soul Bowl treatment = label address scratched out. Thanks for that legacy guys!)
Henry Turner’s Crystal Band – Giving my love up to you / Music – Lotus Land / EX / £25 (Fantastic previously unissued midtempo modern, with a two step feel. Flip is also fantastic, but was released. On a now very rare 45 commanding £1000+.)
Ndugu & the Chocolate Jam Co – Take some time / Send you my love – Epic / EX / £20 (Great two step backed with issue only dancer. Clean copy complete with company sleeve.)
Bottom & Company – Spread the news – Motown / EX / £10 (Killer version of the John Edwards, solid midtempo modern soul. White demo complete with company sleeve.)
Soul Tune All Stars – Natural feeling / World – Soul Tune / EX / £8 (Brand new release just out this month! Two excellent sides of retro soul, a local Stockholm release.)
Heat – Still waiting – Mca / EX / £8 (Feel good modern/disco dancer. Writing on label and title written on company sleeve. Issue copy with “Keep on moving” on flip.)
Bonnie Pointer – I wanna make it (In your world) – Motown / EX / £6 (Highly recommended!! Absolutely lovely folky soul, with a two step appeal. Quite a unique sound.)
Narvel Felts – Girl come back – Renay / EX / £475 (Nice clean copy of this fantastic midtempo NS dancer. Flip might have some fans too, midtempo with hints of R&B and early Beatles. Reduced from last list.)
Richard Cook – Somebody got’a help me / Love is so mean – Tragar / VG+ / £160 (Gritty dancer backed with gritty midtempo on the classic Atlanta, GA label. Old Stafford c/u as Del-Tours. Just shy of EX with a few light marks not affecting play.)
Terri Bryant – Geni / When I‘m in your arms – Verve / EX / £125 (Issue copy of this lovely Detroit double header, Leon Ware and Mike Terry collab of the highest quality. Clean copy but with two flaws – tiny writing on WIIYA-side and a cut out hole touching label and runout groove.)
George Wydell – From out of nowhere – Tangerine / VG+ / £125 (White demo copy of this fantastic northern midtempo dancer. There’s a scratch causing a few soft clicks in the outro. Reduced from last list.)
Betty Everett – Wondering – Fantasy / VG+ / £110 (Absolute killer off her “Love rhymes” album, rare on 45! David Axelrod production, written by Johnny Watson. First name written on label, record has some light marks but plays well.)

Willie Mallory – You went back – Lanor / EX / £60 (Nice crossover midtempo dancer, original to the Huriah Boynton song on the same label. Label design on the copy for sale is the same as the one in the youtube vid.)
Jeffrey Bowen – I’ve got a brand new feeling / I’ll get by – Mercury / VG / £35 (White demo with two very nice sides of 1965 Philly soul. Vinyl has many light marks, plays well but not perfect. Light label wear and “This Side” rubber stamp and date stamp on IGB-side.)
Taurus & Leo – I ain’t playing – Velvet Sound / EX / £30 (Fantastic NS oldie, forgot how good this is. Two X’s on label. This copy is the first release without the ATCO distribution.)

Temptations – Beauty is only skin deep / You’re not an ordinary girl – Gordy / EX/EX / £12 (So why do I list this cheap but great Motown classic? Because it comes in a fantastic looking picture sleeve! Sleeve and label has small bb hole.)
Freddie Hughes – I gotta keep my bluff in / Natural man – Wand / EX / £10 (Amazing Cali crossover, one that would get much more spins if on rare label. BB hole through label.)
Kal’s Kid – Long lonely broken hearted – Vernon / VG / £400 (Just lovely ballad, a kiddie group record should not be this good. Vinyl plays well but has lots of light marks. Flipside has stain from removed sticker.)
Pacesetters – Lovin’ / I can handle it – Fantasy / EX / £100 (Vinyl promo copy of this essential double header. Two sides of mellow groove/ step of the highest quality.
