Superb and obscure pounding Northern R&B 60s dancer with a touch of a funk kick
How this hasn’t had attention before is beyond me - great value for the money

Double-sided promo (not My Sweet Baby on the flip)

Superb wah-wah guitar driven funky R&B – perfect niter stuff with a real nice low rider flip thrown in

(10) The Jives – “Love” / “I Want You” (Tear Drop) EX £75

Two great sides – superb sweet soul and moody funky Northern flip which has had spins from Mr Fish Clancy
Bargain price for this – has sold in excess of a ton

A fantastic growling 60s mid-tempo dancer

(15) Lattimore Brown – “Sweet Desiree” (Renegade DJ) VG+/EX sol £50

Gritty mid tempo pounding 60s R&B dancer – great record and not easy to find in good condition

Scuff on “I Want” side but plays great

(26) Vick & John – “Lonely Man” / “Don’t Dish Out (More Than You Can Take)” (Allert) EX £40

Two superb mid-60s sides – really is a very fine record and doesn't seem well known
Nice dancer on one side and then “Lonely Man” is a stunning moody mid-tempo slab of soul which would grace any set

· Stunning 60s low-rider/beat ballad side with a great funk-edged Northern flip
