Maxine Womack – What’cha gon-na do / One step at a time – Tack 45-1561

Anita Moore and The TSU Jazz Ensemble – Compared to what? / Didn’t we – Advent 1001
Relentless jazz funk version of the Les McCann and Eddie Harris classic. Look sunplayed but has one mark not affecting play.
Visual grade: Strong VG+
€200
The Spencer Jackson Family – Sometimes I feel like a motherless child / Ain’t nobody gonna treat us like they used to do – Zulu 0005
Surface marks but nothing too deep. Has a piece missing on the run-in that doesn’t impact play on the ‘Motherless child’ side but unfortunately the first thee rotations on the ‘Treat us’ side have gone awol so I recorded from the start of the playable part
Visual grade: G
€150
The Premonitions – Daddy’s home / Way I feel – Tassi 1001
Ballad cut taken from the holy grail album. Equally rare but comes at a fraction of the price.

€100
The Del-Chords – Everybody’s gotta lose someday / Your mommy lied to your daddy – Mr. Genius 401

Deep Cali gospel that turns up every decade or so.
