***MIXED BAG OF TASTY RARE SOUL ***

[Adiw]

A quality selection of soul goodies up for grabs; this is a proper mixed bag of current rarities, classic soul & some bargains left & reduced from previous lists - right across the board. All records are conservatively graded - visually & play, with some clips from youtube (not from the actual records for sale) & I’ve included photographs for reference.

as ever, I’m always open to reasonable offers so feel free to ask - It’ll only be a ‘no’ at worst.

 

Payment by Paypal - Friends & family or +4% PP charge; UK postage is £7.00 special delivery, worldwide postage on request. PM me if you’re interested & thanks for looking

 

BACK BAY BREW -  IS IT FOR REAL - (GIRL IT’S YOU/IT’S ALL OVER/IS IT FOR REAL E.P) - BACK BAY BREW - VG+ £225.00 **REDUCED TO £200

MID 70’S JAZZY SOUL RARITY OUT OF MILWAUKEE. HARD TO FIND PRIVATE RELEASE E.P WITH JAZZ/SOUL APPEAL; “IS IT FOR REAL” HAS BEEN A SPIN FOR IAN WRIGHT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS (I FIRST HEARD IT AT MOS FROM IAN, THINKING THE NAME WAS A COVER UP) WITH THE SORT OF MODERN SOUL/JAZZ FUSION APPEAL THAT RECORDS LIKE THOMAS EAST, PATRICK GAMMON & JESUS ALVAREZ HAVE MADE POPULAR ON THE MODERN SCENE.  THIS IS STILL A RELATIVE UNKNOWN WITH SOME SERIOUS POTENTIAL. THERE’S A FEW MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF BOTH SIDES AND THE LABEL IS TEA/COFFEE STAINED, BUT PLAYS THROUGH EXCELLENT. HARD TO FIND MODERN MAGIC

FOURTH DAY -  YOU TURN ME ON/ON MY WAY UP - DT RECORDS - E+ £175.00

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 RECORD

MARK SEVEN UNLTD. - TOUCH OF GOODBYE/I’M IN LOVE WITH MY NEIGHBOR’S WIFE - ABBOTT RECORDS - E+  £80.00

CLASSY EARLY 70’S CROSSOVER & FUNK OUT OF L.A. THE A SIDE’S SCREAMING VOCAL PUT’S ME IN MIND OF TRYONE BARKLEY’S DAKAR RELEASES WITH THE POWERFUL BRASS PRODUCTION ACCOMPANYING THE POWERFUL VOCALS. THE FLIP (WHICH ISN’T AVAILABLE ON THE DEMO COPY IS TOP OF THE RANGE, SOULFUL FUNK OR FUNKY SOUL DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE. CLASS AND STILL NOT TOO WELL KNOWN. THE A SIDE HAS A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL MARKS; THE “TOUCH OF GOODBYE” SIDE IS ALMOST MINT. GREAT COPY.
