RONNIE SHANNON - SWEET GAMES OF LOVE/COUNT YOUR CHIPS - BLACK GOLD - M- £150.00

SUBLIME EARLY 70’S CROSSOVER FROM DETROIT’S BLACK GOLD LABEL. WONDERFUL VOCAL DELIVERY FROM RONNIE AND FOR ME A BETTER VERSION THAN LAJAY ALEXANDER’S “SAY SO” VERSION ON THE SAME LABEL (I’M EXPECTING SOME FLAK FOR SUCH  A STATEMENT BUT IT’S WHICH VERSION OF BRILLIANT CALLS OUT TO YOU.) THIS IS IN BEAUTIFUL, MINT - CONDITION, LABELS & VINYL ARE IMMACULATE; THE ONLY REASON IT’S NOT STRAIGHT MINT, IS BECAUSE I’VE PUT A NEEDLE ON IT MYSELF. STUNNER

 

THE EXPORTATIONS - FIND ANOTHER DAY/I WANT YOU - VIR-RO VG++/VG £120.00 SOLD

TOP NOTCH DANCER FROM 1980 OUT OF DETROIT, BACKING A 70’S FLOATER. PROPER DANCE FLOOR DYNAMITE JUMPS OUT ON THE B SIDE; WHICH HAS KEPT IT IN PLAYLISTS DOWN THE YEARS. THAT’S POSSIBLY BECAUSE MOST OF THE COPIES ABOUT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN “WELL LOVED.” THE A SIDE  - “FIND ANOTHER DAY” IS A BIT BATTERED ON THIS COPY WITH QUITE A FEW SURFACE MARKS, CREATING A BIT OF BACKGROUND NOISE. THE B SIDE - “I WANT YOU” IS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION, WITH A FEW SURFACE MARKS - NOTHING TOO SERIOUS

 

J R BAILEY - LOVE WON’T WEAR OFF (AS THE YEARS WEAR ON)/LOVE WON’T WEAR OFF (AS THE YEARS WEAR ON) INST. - CALLA- E+ £75.00 SOLD

MAGICAL CROSSOVER CLASSIC FROM 1968 OUT OF NEW YORK. THIS PROBABLY DOESN’T NEED ANY INTRODUCTION, IT’S BEEN A FIRM FAVOURITE FOR YEARS. HERE’S A CHANCE TO GRAB A COPY IN SPARKLING E+ CONDITION.

 

BETTY EVERETT - HEY LUCINDA/MY LOVE TO LEAN ON - SOUND STAGE 7 - M- (W/COMPANY SLEEVE) £50.00

LOVELY COPY OF THIS 1976 OFFERING FROM BETTY; IN IT’S ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE AND AS GLOSSY AS CAN BE. THE A SIDE “HEY LUCINDA” IS A DISCO FUNK OFFERING; THE OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR THE 1976 MARKET. FLIP IT OVER THOUGH, AND A FANTASTIC CROSSOVER, MID TEMPO BUILDER JUMPS OUT…. MOST DEFINITELY THE RECOMMENDED SIDE. TOP DRAWER

 

A couple left over from previous lists; now with the reduced prices:

 

THE BRONZE CONNECTION -  LOVE UPRISING/SWEET CHANGES - MPH RECORDS - E  £200.00 SOLD

DEEP MID-TEMPO GOSPEL FUNK WITH A DRIVING BASSLINE AND OUTSTANDING GROUP VOCAL, BACKED WITH A CATCHY, ORGAN-DRIVEN DANCER. A BIG SPIN FOR GREG BELSON  -  OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS - IT FEATURED ON ONE OF THE MOS MIXCLOUDS FROM HIS VISIT IN 2013 - AMONGST OTHER LEADING GOSPEL SOUL & FUNK DJ’S. THIS IS HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION; LET ALONE THE EXCELLENT, CLOSE TO MINT COPY UP FOR SALE HERE.

 

KOOL & TOGETHER – HOOKED ON LIFE/I FOUND YOU – MAGIC - £150.00 E+

ATMOSPHERIC & OBSCURE FUNK MASTERPIECE.  THIS FAMILY GROUP FROM TEXAS OFFER A PERCUSSION DRIVEN FUNK MARVEL, WITH A BIT OF A NOD TO CURTIS MAYFIELD IN THE FALSETTO VOCALS & LAID BACK FUNK GROOVE.
