ROLAND HAYNES JR. AND PHENIX: Mind Games * PHENIX, M-, 300.- Euro, SOLD
Solid centre 7" early 80's Modern Soul winner, still pretty much under the radar and with some legs in it for the DJs out there. One copy only, don't sleep!
BETTYE SWANN: Kiss My Love Goodbye * ATLANTIC, strong VG, 150.- Euro
Light marks only and some crackles and pops here and there, but nothing overpowering the fantastic music on this mindblowing Philly production from the early 70's. Good for DJing as the saying goes...
WILSON PICKETT: Let Me Be Your Boy * VERVE, promo, strong VG+, 100.- Euro
The wicked Pickett right before he became one of soulmusic biggest stars with a pounding uptempo dancer. A record, that almost has a Ska-beat underneath and how nice does it look in it's original Verve distribution sleeve?
LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro
Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979. Top side is on the rare LP by Lee McDonald as well, but the 7" provides a different mix compared to the LP-take. Flip it over for a beautiful slow jam.
LARRY HOUSTON: Let's Spend Some Time Together * HFMP, strong VG+, 75.- Euro, on hold
A legendary record for Richard Searling in the 70's played as a new release on the UK soul scene. Nowadays copies are vanished into collections and don't turn up anymore. This one has mild hairlines and plays like a champ, check the soundbyte for a blast from the past.
THE GASLIGHT: Just Because Of You / It's Just Like Magic * POLYDOR, M-, tiny "x" on label, 75.- Euro
Two great sides back to back on this hard to find major label release. The Gaslight recorded 4 singles, three on the independent Grand Junction label and this is their last one, that former Dramatics manager, Chuck Armstrong, managed to lease to Polydor. All records they released failed without any success, only group member Oliver Cheatham scored a major hit in 1983 with "Get Down Saturday Night". The group was formerly known as Butch & The Newports and was from the Michigan area. Anyway, two great group soul sides, that should appeal to collectors of sweet soul and crossover soul alike.
PATTI JO: Ain't No Love Lost * SCEPTER, VG+, wol 75.- Euro
Richard Tufo and Curtis Mayfield collaboration on this 1972 masterpiece and one of only two 45s the talented Patti Jo recorded. On a side note: "Ruby & Ray" owned this back in the days and they owned a red pencil.
JOSEPHINE TAYLOR: Is It Worth A Chance / I've Made Up My Mind * TWINIGHT, VG, sticker on lbl flipside, 60.- Euro, sold
Great playing VG copy of this Chicago soulful sister funk banger produced by Sy Johnson. The ballad B-side (actually the A-side) is really good as well. Distribution sticker on label flipside and an adress sticker from previous owner too.
I never realized, that this one got remixed by Tom Moulton and it all makes sense now. Superb sounding slice of 1975 Modern Soul on the edge of the upcoming Disco boom, but definitely rooted in the classic soul era.
ANDREW LEWIS BAND: Holding On * RICHMOND, M-, 50. Euro, on hold
Rare local Virginia funky Modern Soul spin, that seems to fly under the radar for way too long. Great uptempo sound and surely a winner for the DJ, who likes to drop something different.
CURT DARIN: Two On A Cloud / Grown Up Fairy Tale * BUDDAH, VG/VG-, wol, 50.- Euro
It's amazing how many fantastic soul tracks where released on Buddah records during the 70's. They must have had an A&R man with great taste. Curt Darin's real name was Curtis Gadson and here he is with two mindblowing midtempo songs. "Two on a Cloud" is a great dancer while the flip offers a superb sophisticated ballad for all these sunday sessions these days. Slightly wounded copy, that plays rather good. Check the soundbytes before ordering!
15 years ago, when Joe Bataan started touring again, he guested in the Mojo Club on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. When he came back on stage for his encores he asked the audience, if there's a particular song, that they want to hear. someone screamed "Johnny" and 10 seconds later the crowd danced to this 1973 funky Latin Soul masterpiece like they never danced before.
This copy unfortunately has a 1cm scratch, right in the middle of the tune, that causes some clicks, nothing to bad and a repair job would fix this easily. Check the soundfile before ordering please!
DEREK MARTIN: Falling Out Of Love * VIBRATION, VG++, 40.- Euro
Sublime piece of 70's eastcoast soul on Sylvia Robinson's All Platinum subsidiary Vibration. A midtempo dancer full of grandeur and so very very soulful. Flipside has a few mild marks and grades VG+, but it's all about "Falling Out Of Love" here and this side is in very nice condition.
BROTHERS OF SOUL: Hurry Don't Linger / I Guess That Don't Make Me A Loser * BOO, strong VG++, 60.- Euro
Indemand Detroit 60's double header with one side being a perfect Northern dancer while the flip is popular with the lowrider scene. A blueprint record for the Detroit 60's sound and meanwhile hard to find in good condition.
UNITED IMAGE: Love's Creeping Up On Me * VOLT, promo, M-, 30.- Euro, SOLD
Clean copy of this 1971 winner on Stax's Volt subsidiary. Mindblowing crossover soul written by Leon Ware and completely underrated. Check the soundbyte!

ERROLL GAYE & THE IMAGINATIONS: Love And Affection / You Don't Want my Love * STEEL TOWN; M-, 30.- Euro

McKINLEY MITCHELL: This Place Ain't Getting No Better / Gypsy * SANDMAN, VG, 25.- Euro, SOLD
A desert island record for me for the stunning ballad side "This Place Ain't Getting No Better. Simply one of the most soulful sides ever recorded and since I moved to Vienna I can relate to the lyrics too. Flipside offers a great midtempo Northern dancer.
This copy has marks, but nothing to deep and it plays like a champ, priced accordingly.
WILLIE WILLIAMS: It Gets In Your Feet (When You Hear The Beat) / Funky Chicken Along With * GAMMA, VG+, 25.- Euro

CANDY PHILLIPS: Timber * ATLANTIC, M-, slightly warped nap, drill hole in run-out-grooves nap, 25.- Euro, on hold
Totally drunken sounding Eddie Bo poduction. A crazy and great record from New Orleans and one that I adore since I first heard it. Vinyl is slightly warped, butr plays with no issues and no extra tracking.
LITTLE ARCHIE: I Am A Carpet / I Need You * DIAL, promo, VG++, 25.- Euro
Little Archie, who's real name is Archie Himon, only recoded two 45s for Buddy Killen's Dial output and you urgently need both of them. Maximum Soul with a capital "S" here! The featured uptempo sides wakes up the dead and is a call to the dancefloor, flip it over for some really seriou deep soul business.
THE ARTISTICS: Girl I Need You / Glad I Met You * BRUNSWICK, VG+, wol, 25.- Euro, SOLD
Sophisticated windy city double header for the dancefloor. "Girl I need you" is a subtle, sophisticated, soulful floater and in my book one of the finest sides ever produced by the great Carl Davis. The flipside is great too - in other words; you need this record!
JEAN DuSHON: All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings CADET, promo, M-, 30.- Euro, SOLD
Talking aout underrated soul 45s! I just heard folks compalining about record prizes and that the soul collecting world gone mad.... Well what about this; just dig a little deeper and unearth the cheap quality ones like this phenomenal 60' sexy sultry dancer by the great Jean DuShon.
THE PERSIANS: Too Much Pride * ABC, VG++, "x" on lbl, 15.- Euro
Outstanding good group harmony ballad produced by George Kerr. Why oh why do folks spend hundreds on mediocre ballads as long as great cheapos like this are around?
UNTOUCHABLE MACHINE SHOP: Machine Shop * WAVELENGTH, VG+, 25.- Euro
There are records, that leave a big question mark in my brain. What the f*ck is an "Untouchable Machine Shop"? And how does a name like this can get connected to an extraordinaire free funk track? Anyway, this is a fantastic funk record driven by an unstoppable wah-wah-guitar, heavy beats and raunchy basslines. Clean playing copy with barely noticable surface marks.
MARVIN GAYE: I Want You * TAMLA promo, yellow wax, M-, 25.- Euro
Nice looking and great sounding promo copy of this funky soul masterpiece by Marvin Gaye. An essential record on so many levels with Leon Ware on the controls. Why not go for this eyecatching yellow wax Tamla promo for your collection?
ANN PEEBLES: Somebody'sw On Your Case * HI, Promo, M-, 20.- Euro, SOLD
Extra clean copy of this magnificient slice of Memphs funky soul by the great Ann Peebles. A rather untypical sound for Willie Mitchell's production team, but surely a winner for the DJs out there.
WALES WALLACE: Forever And A Day * DAKAR, promo, VG, 20.- Euro
Great and semi known collectors record on Chicago's groudbreaking Dakar label. This is a great slice of windy city crossover soul and copies are not easy to track down nowadays.
DIAMOND JOE: The ABC Song / Look Way Back * DEESU, promo, M-, 25.- 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.
ARETHA FRANKLIN: Rock Steady * ATLANTIC, M-, 20.- Euro
I've never been a big Aretha-Fan (allright, my reputation as a soulboy is gone now), I just liked a few of her records and this s definitely one of them. Funky dancefloor dynamite by the lady with breaks and an irresistable dance beat. Clean copy and I throw in a juke-box-stripe for this record on top.
THE RADIANTS: Hold On * CHESS, M-, drill hole in lbl, 15.- Euro
Excellent uptempo dancer by one of Chicago's finest soul groups - the Radiants. Produced by Charles Stepney, one of these talented guys, who avoided the spotlight, but contributed to the music to the max. There was a great piece about him in the Guardian lately (just google Stepney, Guardian) and you'll find it - thanks Paul for getting the article to my attention.
JEANNIE REYNOLDS: Unwanted Company * CASABLANCA, M-, 15.- Euro, SOLD
There are good records and there are great records and this one is, without any doubt, one of the finest slow burning female vocal sides ever produced. Somewhere between a stepper and a ballad and produced by the mighty Don Davis. Check it out and melt away...
THE CHARMELS: Loving Material * VOLT, VG+, drill hole in lbl, 15.- Euro
Isaac Hayes and David Porter writrten and produced 60's dancer by the girls, who recorded the immortal "As Long As I Have You". This one is more uptempo and pretty much underrated, check the soundbyte!
WALTER JACKSON: Touching In The Dark * KELLI-ARTS, M-, 15.- Euro
Legendary Chicago stepper by disabled singer Walter Jackson, the silky voice of the windy city. Great record, that should be in every serious soul collection!
SYL JOHNSON: We Did It / Any Way The Wind Blows * HI, VG++ 12.- Euro
Excellent 70's dancer by Syl Johnson, who made his way up south in the 70's to record under the aegis of Willie Mitchell and to spend the rest of his career in the shadow of the allmighty Al Green.
TYRONE DAVIS: All The Waiting Is Not In Vain / Need Your Lovin' Everyday * DAKAR, VG++, 10.- Euro
Superb slice of Chicago crossover soul backed up by funky dancer. Well, you can buy every Tyrone Davis rcord blind anyway, but this one is outstanding good and a favourite in Bulnheim towers.
BUNNY SIGLER: Don't Stop Doing What You're Doing * NEPTUNE, M-, 10.- Euro
Actually this record is a cover of Dee Irwin's "I Only Get This Feeling" on Imperial (later recorded by Chuck Jackson on ABC) . Gamble & Hufff stole almost everything and never credited Irwin. None the less a nice cheap slice of Philly soul.
CANDI STATON: A Little Taste Of Love * WARNER BROS., VG++, 10.- Euro
Recorded at Muscle Shoals and Fame Recordiung Studios, produced by Rick Hall and written by George Jackson. What do you expect other than a masterpiece?
THE BOOGIEMAN ORCHESTRA: (Theme From) Lady, Lady, Lady (Are You Crazy For Me?) * BOOGIE MAN RECORDS; VG+, 8.- Euro, on hold
For the grand finale of the list some Mecca magic, dropped by Colin Curtis and Ian Levine as a new release and still sounds absolutely amazing to my ears. These two DJs where so much above their time, that looking back seems like a sci-fi-movie, if that makes any sense.
