Patsie Slater – Bye bye love / That’ll get it – Douglas 100

Moody popcorn that’s becoming very sough after on the rare soul scene as of late. Only takes once listen to figure out why.

Visual grade: EX

€500

 

The Fabulous Arcades – Watch me work / Captivation – Puff 1106

Storming funky edged Detroit northern. Super clean copy and very modestly priced.

Visual grade: EX

€350

Beverly Ann – You’ve got your mind on other things / Until you – RCA 47-9468

Rare stock copy! Plays perfect.

Visual grade: VG+ to EX

€350

Four Coins – Forward together / Hocus pocus-dominocus – Lan-Co 6900

Rare crossover group soul. Extremely rare press with a different flip. I’m guessing this came out before ‘Maybe she’s right’. Pressed slightly off-center.

Visual grade: VG

€300

Oscar Martinez Orch. – Tortillitas de Manteca / Me quieres-o-no me quieres? – El Zarape 123

Rare Tex-Mex tittyshaker that’s impossible to find, especially on this label.

Visual grade: VG+

Changing Tymes – You live only once / Try it once again – AMG 8034-31

Sought-after modern with a rarer version of the Imperial Wonders tune.

Visual grade: EX to M-

€200

Jackie Shane – Comin’ down / In my tenement – Sue 788

Two slices of R&B fire, Comin’ Down always had the edge for me so recorded that side, but any of the two makes it worth snapping up.

Visual grade: EX

€160

Carl Carlton – I can feel it / You’ve got so much – Back Beat 617 DJ Copy

Probably needs no introduction. All-time northern dance floor packer. Plays perfect.

Visual grade: VG+

Two slices of driving Philly funk. Super clean copy.

Visual grade: EX

Atmospheric Philly popcorn that featured on the infamous Popcorn Bangers mix.

Visual grade: Strong VG+

Gospel boogie grail, rare original. Looks VG+ for the most part but has a heat damaged area that causes an audible swoosh thoughout.

Visual grade: G

Diane Jenkins – Recycle / Gee baby, what about you – Creative Funk 12003

Sister funk with a message and a beautiful deep flip.

Visual grade: Strong VG+, warp NAP

There’s a million versions out there but this has to be one of the deepest. Clean copy too.
