It’s been a while and I’ve missed you, hope everyone that reads this is well.  Here’s a quarter century of soul titles, range of styles, range of prices, and nowt less than Excellent condition.  Happy to provide sound files where not included, PM any questions or to reserve.

1) Willie Williams – Have you ever been played for a fool – ABC 10860 WD M- £125

(Powerhouse dancer)

2) Gino Washington – I’ll be around / Like my baby – Atac 102 WD M- £125

(2 classic tunes in their best format, red Xol)

3) Barbara English – (You got me) sittin’ in the corner – Aurora 155 DJ Ex+ £150

(Forgotten for some time, given it a dust off and reminded myself what a great up-tempo dancer this really is, the label has a few scours in it and light ring wear, but the vinyl is Ex or better and the tune refreshingly good)

6) Larry Williams & Johnny Watson – Too late / Two for the price of one – Epic 7281 Ex+ £400

(Rare Canadian release of this brilliant, and no pun intended 2 for the price of 1, coupling of 2 monster Okeh tunes.  US demos going for 300+ but if you think the valuation on this rarer format is out, make a reasonable offer)
