Modern Soul & Two Step 45’s
Medlows - Love Pt. 1 - Midsong International / EX / OFFERS (Modern soul dancer of the highest quality, 1976 John Davis production. One of the rarest major label releases. Current Butch spin someone told me, and I have not seen/heard of other copies apart from this and my personal copy. Promo copy with date + small scribbling on label. I don’t think it passed the promo stage. Hard to price so taking offers, also open to serious trades.)
Memphis - Inside my love - West Coast / EX / £1000 (One of the best recordings ever IMO. Absolute modern soul/two step masterpiece with layer upon layer of quality. And after hundreds of listens it’s still as good.)
Essence of Love - I want to share my love with you - K-City / EX / £400 (Promo copy of this stunning modern soul dancer. Much rarer than their other dancer “Yes it’s you” and this was unlike that release never repressed. One side has two tiny tears.)
R&D Blues Band - I’ve been around - Rexius / EX/EX / £175 (Killer modern soul, once you passed the intro. Very clean copy complete with the pic sleeve.)
Aggression - Tag - SRI / EX / £175 (Big hole, promo copy of this grinding disco instrumental. How deep can you go? Small tear on long version label side. Vinyl which plays on 33rpm is nice and clean and plays great.)
Lee Moore - Get off - Score / EX / £175 (Killer dancer with great production and quirky synthesizers lifting the whole thing. Untouched labels! This copy did not pass through Soul Bowl.)
Disc & That - Space walk - Wilkerr / EX / £100 (Clean and nice copy of this very scarce 7 inch of this classic underground disco dancer.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCYrzkSvq_o (45 version is 3:40)
Ellington Sisters - I’m only wanted (When I’m needed) - Rca / EX / £75 (Amazing slowie and a firm personal fave, perfect for the end of the night dancefloor action. Only available on the rare issue copies, demos double sides the flip which is only decent.)
David Sea - Angel (You’re the sunshine) - Hy-Tyde / VG+ / £60 (First label of this classic modern soul dancer. Label has signed dedication by the artist. Record plays well but has stained vinyl.)
Yohon - Fly with me / Symbol of happiness - Marycarol / VG+ / £45 (Soulful Chicago disco funk. “Fly with me” has a small scuff which plays a few very vague noise for a few revolutions, minor thing but should be noted.)
Charles Wilson - You cut my love supply - Alley Cat / EX / £35 (Nice dancer on a 1985 Chicago indie from the “Trying to make a wrong thing right” guy.)
Lee Stone - What is life - Break Out / EX / £650 (Just amazing jazzy crossover soul. Reached north of £750 on Manship auction the other week. BB hole through label.)
Fred Parris & the Restless Hearts - I’ll be hangin on - Green-Sea / EX / £300 (Huge demand for this fantastic, soulful midtempo dancer. Star rubber stamp on label.)
Final Decisions - I feel what you feel / The pusher - Love / VG / £200 (Superb crossover slowie backed with their version of the Prophet & His Disciples song. Well rare Detroit 45! “The pusher” side plays with light background noise in the intro, the other side plays fine.)
Harvey & the Seven Sounds - Glamour girl - Cuca / VG+ / £185 (Amazing 60’s written by Harvey Scales himself. Much much better than the Procedures re-make. With company sleeve that has taped edges.)
Larry Saunders - On the real side - London / EX / £80 (Clean UK copy complete with company sleeve, sound quality is far superior from the US Turbo release.)
Richard Williams – Wouldn’t you really rather have me? – Quad / EX / £35 (Excellent crossover soul which is rare on 45. Cool looking white demo complete with company sleeve.)
Bobby Jone’s - Talkin’ ‘bout Jone’s - Expo / EX / £30 (Ignore the title! Superb NS allnighter sound, so soulful! White demo, label has stan from removed sticker.)
Sly, Slick & Wicked – Turn on your love lite / We don’t have to be lovers – Shaker / EX / £450 (Nice and clean copy of this immense sweet soul double header. By far the rarest record by this fantastic Cleveland, Ohio group.)
Inclinations - Cross my heart (To you) / Could this be love, that I feel - Janus / EX / £300 (Sweet soul rarity! Their second much, much rarer 45. Just like their first 45 this holds two amazing group harmony ballads.)
Herman Davis - Gotta be loved - Venus V / EX / £250 (Huge demand for this stunner. Very clean rarer green issue, black lettering label variation. Usually seen in more or less trashed condition.)
Cold, Bold & Together - Our love song turned bad / Somebody’s gonna burn ya’ - Ice / EX / £90 (Amazing Seattle 1975 group soul ballad. With a funky flip that should appeal to fans of funk. Neat writing on label.)
Otisettes - Sitting alone (In my lonely room) - Epic / VG+ / £70 (Rare yellow label first press of this amazing lowrider type of sound. Cut out hole at the inner label edge.)
Stan Beverly & the Hollywood Saxons - EP - Action Pac / EX/EX / £60 (4 track EP from LA Doo Wopers, includes the dreamy “Do it right the first time”. With photo copied pic sleeve.)
Star-Tells - You’re wrong about me / Falling in love with you girl - Lamarr / EX / £25 (Two fantastic Chicago group soul sides, one slow one with slightly higher tempo.)
Tomorrow’s People - Open soul - Stage Productions / EX/EX / £1200 (Holy grail type album! Great one out of Chicago, same label as Gloria Jay, Richard Starr etc. Filled with killers in different styles: “Hurry up on tomorrow”, their versions of Satagans “Lovers to friends”, and Ahead of Time’s “It ain’t fair” is straight slow group harmony fire. “Open soul” and “Let’s get down with the beat” amazing disco/soul dancers. Clean copy!)
Sonya Spence - Sings love - High Note / VG+/VG / £150 (With “Let love flow on”, the amazing soulful dancer with Sade-like vocals, before Sade! Jamaican original, full color cover and blue text gold label variation. Record basically EX with some light sleeve marks not affecting play. Cover strong VG with a little wear around the edges but very clean for a record from this origin country.)
Roy Ayers - Virgin Ubiquity II Unreleased recordings 1976-1981 - BBE / EX/EX / £110 (Double LP and a 2005 release featuring 13 previously unissued, and great Roy sides. Out of print and indemand with copies selling up to $160 on Discogs.)
Originals - Baby I’m for real - Soul / EX/VG+ / £20 (US first press of this great album including the title track, their version of “Why when love is gone” and the amazing dancer “We’ve got a way out love”. Cover in nice condition but two minor flaws: cut corner and a small mark from removed price sticker.)
Salena Jones - Everybody’s talkin’ - CBS / VG/EX / £15 (With her great slightly jazzy version of “Am I the same girl”. Vinyl has many light marks, didn’t play the whole thing but mentioned track plays well.)
Spells - Can’t get enough - SNE / EX/EX / £10 (1989 indie album with one side dedicated to “Love” and one to “Animal”, slow jams vs. uptempo. Title track is an excellent two stepper and there’s more of the same on the same side. As new copy with cover still in shrink.)
I accept paypal or bank transfers to my Swedish account (IBAN).
For all paypal payments over £150 I need you to either add 4% to cover paypal fees. Or send with the “I’m sending money to family or friends”-option and take on the fees. Also please make sure the payment is being received in GBP rather than in SEK.
