MARVIN SIMS: Blow Away Breeze / Love Is On The Way * RIVERTOWN, M-, 50.- Euro

Featured side is the ballad here and it is a prime example of how good Marvin Sims could handle a song.; one of my alltime favourite slow jams. Flip it over for a proper Modern Soul dancer and the side this 45 will most likely sell for and don't forget the eyepopping label design!

RANDOLPH BROWN & COMPANY: It Ain't Like It Used To Be * IX CHAINS, promo, strong VG+ on Stereo side, VG on Mono flip, 50.- Euro

Memphis Modern Soul gem, that was so very very popular some 20 years ago and by recording the soundfile, I thought how good it would sound played ou today. The stereo side plays almost flawless, while the mono flip has some surface marks, that causes some crackles in parts.

soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/randolphbrownitaint.mp3

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

TOMMY BRYANT: I Wanna Come Home To You Baby * T-NECK, promo, M-, 40.- Euro

Totally underrated Northern Soul dancer on the Isley Brother's owned label. Uptempo, soulful and produced to perfections by the Isleys. I've never seen an issue of this and I doubt, that they exist. Anyway, great uptempo 60's soul for the dancefloor.

Houston / Texas music history, this is the very first 45 Archie Bell ever recorded, shortly before he had a smash hit with "Tighten Up". The A-side is a Vietnam related ballad while the flip (played most likely the T.S.U Toronadoes) is a nice funky organ dancer.

QUINCY JONES & HIS ORCHESTRA: Soul Bossa Nova * MERCURY; VG++, 30.- Euro

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

RUDY LOVE & THE COMPANY SOUL: Happiness * CANYON, M-, some label damage and a removed sticker on label flipside, 25.- Euro

Rudy Love's other release on Canyon and it's as good as his indemand "Suffering Wrath", but significantly slower. Meandering between deep soul and crossover; a truly soulful masterpiece for home listening pleasure.

soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/rudylovehappiness.mp3

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DIAMOND JOE: The ABC Song / Look Way Back * DEESU, promo, M-, 30.- Euro

Excellent, hard hitting Nola funky soul produced by Allen Touissant and Marshall Sehorn. Diamond Joe recorded some fabulous 60's side for Sansu records and is surely one of the most underrated vocalists from the the Big Easy. Flip it over and you see what I mean; facemelting deep soul by Joseph Maryland aka "Diamond Joe". A truly gifted singer; a rough edged, fast moving soul. He was possessed of a gruff baritone that could move from a growl to the most subtle whisper within a few minutes of music. He died homeless in 2010 in his hometwon New Orleans and only recorded seven 45s and every single one is as good as this here.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ERNIE SHELBY: Punish Me / Bend Over Backwards * POLYDOR, M-, mild storage warp, 30.- Euro

Polydor's A&R man for soulmusic definitely had good taste, some great records came out on this major label. Most of them didn't sell at all and are highly collectable these days. Especially the issues, that in many cases have the better track on it then the mono/stereo promos. Here we have an overlooked Muscle Shoals production co-written by Phillip Mitchell (flipside is co-written by George Soule, who also played drums on both sides) and produced by Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford. Two stunning southern soul sides by a guy, who only released six 45s in his career

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

DYKE & THE BLAZERS: Runaway People * ORIGINAL SOUND, VG+, hairline stress crack, that does not split the styrne, 25.- Euro

The best 45 Dyke & The Blazers ever recorded and all their records are great! This is the epitome of funky soul to me and the lyrics are about the O'Jays, who left Dyke and his band without any money in the middle of america during a tour when they where hired as their back-up band. The tour didn't went well and the O'Jays decided to head home without getting homeward tickets for the band. A revenge record and a damn good one too. The record has an almost invisible styrene stress crack, that doesn't sound at all and if you handel this thing accordiungly, it will never be a "real" crack.

WALTER RHODES: It's Not What You Do * VIOLET, VG+, heavy writings on label, 15.- Euro

Slick funky groover from 1971 with some Otis Williams involvement. Flipside is actually a good deep soul ballad, but it plays a crackly, allthough it looks rather clean. Both sides have rather heavy writi9ngs on the label, hence the price.

ALICIA KEYS: You Don't Know my Name * J RECORDS, VG++, 12.- Euro
