On the day the mighty Toon are in Londinium on the hunt for long lost silverware, here’s a tidy little bunch of vinyl treasures for your own chest.

As ever, I’m happy to send sound files or more images. PM any questions or to reserve.

 

Charnessa & Charmettes – Personal woman / I can feel my love coming down – Atco 6836 M- £275

(Great funk edged sister soul, Sam Dees penned, recorded at Sound of Birmingham Studios, Alabama, well under the radar, a rarer Atco release indeed, minor edge lift, plays fine)

Little Flint – Pain – Beast 1000 M- £450

(Featuring Wayne Perry on lead no less! not for the feint hearted this Hammond driven dancer out of Cincinnati, Ohio)

Bobbie Smith – You know I’ll be around – Bell 628 M- £225 SOLD

Lovations – (I keep singing) La la la ooh / Heaven told me so – Cap City 109 Ex £350

(3 little darlings hailing from Pittsburgh, but on a DC label, serve up a blinding double sider, “(I keep singing) La la la ooh”, Lowrider excellence, pure clarity on the stunning vocals, “Heaven told me so”, ripe for either Northern or x-over rooms, what a dancer. Some very light scuffs, which DNAP, it plays beautifully. Deep gloss on the surface and clean labels bar a tiny drill hole)

Marva Josie – Now is the time / Oohbiskubido – Julmar 500 Ex £85
