Mark Bluford – This is me Pt I/II – The Preservation Project Master Series 003
I’ll be helping out with distribution for the next three Preservation Project releases so have a handful of copies available of the third installment in the Masters Series. It’s a sick slice of 70s psychedelic Bay Area deep funk with one of the heaviest drum breaks no one has heard in 50 years.
Limited edition of 300 pressed. I have the only 20 customs cleared copies for EU so don’t sleep!
Visual grade: M-
€30
George Smith – Pretty little girl / Born again – Laurie 3263
Remarkably clean copy of this popcorn grail. Demo only and definitely one of the rarer ones on the label.
Visual grade: M-
€600
Sons of The Kingdom – This is my story / Changed those chains – Soul Messengers 45-1033
Israel only issue crossover dancer by the Black Hebrew outfit from Chicago. Two cool sides and ditto pic sleeve.
Visual grade: VG+
€400
Johnny James – I’m addicted to your love / Ali shuffle – Black paint & Co.
Bay area funk double-sider. Addicted side is the reason why this is so sought after but Ali Shuffle is an up-tempo funk mover that’s worth checking out a well
Visual grade: VG+ to EX
€350
Rainbow – Do what you wanna / Buffalo soldier – Wilmington House 1
Elusive instrumental funk beast from Dayton, OH
Visual grade: VG+
€350
The Black Eyed Peas – Smallest man alive / Go thru the motions – Ultra-City 70-317
Detroit double sider in beautiful condition. ‘Go thru the motions’ side has always been somewhat overlooked but I personally like it even more than the classic flip.
Visual grade: M-, minor warp
€250
James Dee & A Piece Of The Action & The Primettes – Jealous over love / My pride – Enrica 1020
Heart-wrenching slab of sweet/deep soul which I will soon regret selling.

€200
Slim Line – Let your conscience be your guide / Conscience – Doré 958
Modern stepper in perfect condition.
Visual grade: M-
€160
Alex Scorrier – The song of Delilah / Low water – Vogue 064
Ultra rare 45 only stuff by Placebo’s sax player. Has an area of heat warping that’s barely visible with the naked eye that produces a swoosh and ever so slightly affects play during the first bars. Still a strong copy of a record that never turns up.
Visual grade: VG+, heat warp
€150
The Cynics – You’re a better man than I / Train kept a-rollin’ – The Bear
Private Texas garage psych with an in your face fuzzed out flip.
Visual grade: VG to VG+
€125
Joyce Williams – The first thing I do in the morning / Smilin’ – Act IV 101
Quality sister funk that plays well above grade.
Visual grade: VG, medium storage warp
€120
Edward Hamilton & The Natural Looks – My darling baby / Willing mind – Mary Jane 1010
Uplifting mid-tempo Detroit magic. Ballad flip looks G+ and plays with more noise.
Visual grade: VG
€100
Little Willie John – I’m shakin’ / Person to person – King 45-5823
1963 version with the drum overdubs. A lot of marks but benefits from a strong and dynamic press which still makes this copy enjoyable.
Visual grade: G+
€70
Myron Cephas – It’s your life Pt I/II – Mil-Smi 1036
Looks clean apart from one small area with paper brushing NAP.
Visual grade: VG+, minor storage warp
€60
The Natural Resources – Hold back the dawn / Hey foxy lady – Doré 909
Atmospheric soul with popcorn appeal and a sweet soul flip.
Visual grade: M-

Super obscure organ mod funk grooves
Visual grade: VG to VG+
€55
The Dynasonics – You got it / Soul bug – Dynamics 1014
Semi-known instrumental Detroit scorcher that takes no prisoners.
Visual grade: M-
€50

Visual grade: VG+ to EX
€45
Rita Paul – Lovem ‘n leavem lover / Shiga, diga, ding, boom – Protone 106
Scarce cabaret popcorn rockerish kind of thing from one of the most famous German Schlager singers in the 50s.
Visual grade: VG-
€40
The Fabulous Kays – Take me back / It’s too late – Jardin 3001
Audible warp during intro but no heat damage or anything so should be easy to flatten. Surface looks super clean. Priced to fly out.
