A little bit of everything on tonight’s listing, that said no outright modern! Sound files and additional images available if you want. PM and questions or to reserve.
Tommy Ray Tucker – Cry, cry, cry – Challenge 59303 WD NM £65 SOLD
Denise LaSalle – A love reputation – Chess 2065 Ex £60 SOLD
(Finger poppin’ dancer ticks all the boxes, the major label release)
Paul Peek – I’m movin’ uptown – Columbia 43771 WD M- £40
(Typical Columbia label Northern, big voiced, girly backing dancer)
Danelle Darris – Don’t love me an leave me – Commerce 5020 Ex £100 SOLD
(Atmospheric femme beat ballad, lovely tune)
Manchester’s Playboys – I feel so good – Fontana 745 M- £300
(Very rare UK release with Mod tune “I close my eyes” on the flip)
Lawrence & Arabians – I’ll try harder – HEM 1002 M- £50
(Excellent group pounder, collectable label, drill hole, seen at £150!)
P.P. Arnold – Everything’s gonna be alright – Immediate 040 M- £650 SOLD
(Wow, a bomb burst of a tune, so feel good and still refreshing after all these years. Original centre included ;-), condition, condition, condition)
Hesitations – You can’t bypass this love – Kapp 848 WD Ex- £50
(Gotta be one of the most prolific Northern groups, not a bad tune from them. Pied Piper of course. Delightful flip side. Light grub on label, some light marks on disc, but plays great)
Roy Hamilton – She make me wanna dance / You can count on me – MGM 13291 DJ Vg+ £150 SOLD
(One of the richest vocals on the scene, presented in Roys full tonsilarity on 2 very differing sides, one uptempo Latin tinged dancer, the other his stock beat ballad, both brilliant, double bubble. Surface has several superficial marks, but it plays Ex)
Performers – I can’t stop you – Mirwood 5535 WD Ex £60 SOLD
Darrell Banks – Our love is in the pocket / Open the door to your heart – Quality 1835 Ex £60
(Fantastic double sider. ‘Open’ side has 3 superficial blemishes on the vinyl that do not affect play in any way, sticker residue and penciled initial on label)
Al Jarreau – Shake up / Boom boom – Raynard 10024 M- £750
(Rare and sparkling upbeat Wisconsin dancer, strikes a party vibe, tidy flip too, plumb condition)
Trade Martin – Work song – RCA 8926 Ex £100
(Upbeat and catchy Sam Cooke “chain gang” esque tune on nice black stock. Minor edge lift, tiny bubble on vinyl, cause 3-4 light pops)
Jimmy Armstrong – Mystery – Shrine 102 M- £375
(Wow, near mint surface, crisp blue top label, minor ring wear on flip)
Invitations – Look on the good side – Silver Blue 818 Ex £40 SOLD
(Mid-tempo dancer from 74, the groups earlier stuff included DynoVoice release, and Lew Kirton leads on this I believe. Nice stock copy)
Tempests – Out of my life – Smash 2194 Ex+ dh £40 SOLD
(Delectable, lifts you up and makes your day better)
Willie Hobbs – Til I get it right – Sound Stage Seven 1510 WD M- £40
(Another mid 70s crooner, very pleasant)
Laura Lee – To win your heart – Tamla Motown 831 M- £45
(The Ric-Tic winner on UK)
Bill Penny & Pacemakers – I can’t stay – Tempo 125936 Ex £50 SOLD
(Apparently was covered up by John Parker some time ago)
Oscar Weathers – Just to prove I love you – Top & Bottom 402 Ex+ £25 SOLD
(One of my all time favourite crossover dancers, bounds along, brilliant. Minor edge lift does not affect play)
