FOURTH DAY -  YOU TURN ME ON/ON MY WAY UP - DT RECORDS - E+ £200.00

GIANT MODERN SOUL 2 - SIDER FROM DETROIT’S DT RECORDS.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VERSION OF THE SAME INSTRUMENTATION  USED ON EMANUEL LASKEY & CLYDE MILTON’S “I’D RATHER LEAVE ON MY FEET,” AS WELL AS BOTH TRACKS BEING COVERED BY THE MAGNIFICENTS ON THE SAME LABEL. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS THE BEST VERSION (I’M SURE EVERYONE HAS THEIR PREFERENCE!) YOU TURN ME ON IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING - VOCALS, MUSICIANS, PRODUCTION. THE VINYL ON THIS IS MINT MINUS ON BOTH SIDES; ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AS A WHISTLE; I’VE LISTED IT AT E+ DUE TO THE AGE WEAR AND DISCOLOURING ON THE LABEL. GIGANTIC

 

MIGHTY POPE -  IF YOU WANT A LOVE AFFAIR/MANY RIVERS TO CROSS - RCA CANADIAN ISSUE. - E+ £100.00

EXCELLENT, CANADIAN ONLY COVER OF THE JESSE JAMES CLASSIC FROM 1976. DOESN’T STRAY TOO FAR FROM JESSE’S CLASSIC, BUT A BIT CHOPPIER AND RAWER (WHICH APPARENTLY IS WHAT JESSE ORIGINALLY INTENDED; NOT A COMPETITOR OF A MUCH LOVED TUNE, BUT A GREAT ALTERNATIVE. THIS IS THE ISSUE COPY IN FANTASTIC CONDITION ALMOST M-

 

JIMMY ELLEDGE -  YOU CAN’T STOP A MAN IN LOVE/CAN’T TAKE THE LEAVIN’ - SONGBIRD. - E+ £65.00

THE BEST VERSION OF THE REUBEN HOWELL/CARL CARLTON TRACK IN MY OPINION. SMOOTH MODERN SOUL/CROSSOVER FROM 1979 THAT HITS THE SPOT. GREAT TRACK FROM 1979 AND A CRACKING LABEL TO BOOT! IN CLOSE TO PERFECT CONDITION, ALMOST M-

 

Left over from the last lists & reduced

 

ERNIE JOHNSON - BIG MAN CRY/DROWNING IN MISERY- STEPH & LEE ISS. E+ £70.00 SOLD

CROSSOVER/MODERN SOUL WINNER THAT’S BECOME SOMETHING OF A CLASSIC NOW. GREAT DANCER FROM 1978 ON LOUISIANA’S STEPH AND LEE LABEL, THAT ALWAYS GETS THE FLOOR BUSY. THIS IS A CLOSE TO MINT MINUS RED ISSUE COPY. BARGAIN PRICE FOR A BRILLIANT BIT OF SOUL

 

RONNIE SHANNON - SWEET GAMES OF LOVE/COUNT YOUR CHIPS - BLACK GOLD - M- £125.00

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

 

TOMMY HUNT -  WORDS CAN NEVER TELL IT/HOW CAN I BE ANYTHING (WITHOUT YOU) DYNAMO ISS. - E+ £40.00

MINT ISSUE COPY OF ONE OF TOMMY H’S BEST & UNDERRATED TRACKS FROM 1967. SUPERB CROSSOVER DANCER WITH THE CLASSY VOCAL YOU EXPECT FROM SUCH AN OUTSTANDING SINGER…. I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF SEEING MR. HUNT PERFORM LIVE IN 1984 - THIS TRACK SHOWCASES HIS AWESOME VOICE AS WELL AS ANY CUTS, FROM THIS PROLIFIC SINGER. BEAUTIFUL CONDITION - ALMOST A FLAWLESS M-
