SISTERS LOVE: Give Me Your Love * TAMLA MOTOWN, Made in Netherlands, Vinyl: M- / Sleeve: VG++, 175.- Euro, sold
A dutch picture sleeve issue of this funky soul bomb, written by Curtis Mayfield and produced by Gloria Jones and Paul Riser. No salestalk needed, just click the soundbyte and get blown away!
THE NEW CLARENCE REID: Cadillac Annie / Tired Blood * DEEP CITY, VG++, 175.- Euro
Great and very rare 60's Miami soul on the legendary Deep City outlet. This is the local first press from 1967 before Phil-L.A.-Of-Soul took over for national distribution. Great funky soul for the dancefloor backed up by a mighty fine ballad.
CHARLES FARREN: You've Changed My Whole Life Around * HAWK, VG++, 175.- Euro, sold
Rare Chicago 60's soul mover in it's eyepopping ortiginal distribution sleeve. Nothing you see everyday and if you like underplayed records, here you go with a banging slice of windy-city niceness.
THE CHANDLERS: (Never Before) Your Love Keeps Me Drawing Closer / I Loved You, Girl * BLEU ROSE, VG+++, 125.- Euro, sold
Superb groupsoul dancer from 1969, that's lurking into crossover category backed up by an equally good sweet flipside. Not an easy pull and an all the way quality double header.
GWEN STEWART: I Thought It Over / You Took Me For A Fool * CALL ME, M-, 100.- Euro
Two excellent L.A. 60's midtempo sides, that might also appeal to sweet soul collectors. Produced by westcoast impressario Arthur Wright and he created a soulful treat. Check the soundfiles!
ROGER AND THE HUMAN BODY: Been This Way Before / Bearing Straight * TROUTMAN BROS., VG/VG+, 125.- Euro
A record not to be taken lightly; the Troutman Brothers, Roger and Larry, in full swing. The featured side offers something completely unique to my ears. I would call this "Free Soul"; a freaky kind of ballad, thart meanders between the genres, but is still a facemelting slice of soulmusic. Flipside is a funky Modern Soul bomb and the record will probably sell for this side. Ohio funk and soul from the top shelf, a really tough pull and if the vocoder fueled funk from Zapp means something to you, here is where it all started.
BIG ELLA: It Takes A Lot Of Loving (To Satisfy Me) * LO LO, VG+, 80.- Euro, sold
Powerhouse female funky soul dancer, that never fails to get the dancers up. A DJ-essential. Flipside has a few scuffs and grades VG, but you will never play this side anyway.
SOUL INVADERS INC.: So Good / Careless Loving * YORKTOWN, VG-, promo, 75.- Euro
1971 sweet soul obscurity out of New York City backed up by a psychedelic funk winner. Record plays with mild crackles, but cleans up nicely after a few rotations.
ROGER WADE: Little Girl / I Can Only Hurt You * HARMON, VG, mild ringwear, 60.- Euro
A young Norman Whitfield wrote and produced this Detroit obscurity, before he became Motown's superstar producer. Two fine sides from the vaults of the Motorcity.
MILL EVANS: When I'm Ready * TOU-SEA; promo, M-, slight dish warp nap, 75.- Euro
Excellent Chicago soul, that ended up on Marshall Seahorn and AllenToussaint's label in New Orleans. How the hell did that happen? Anyway, great atmospheric 60's dance soul and a favourite of the Northern Soul crowd for good reason. Check the soundbyte for a blast from the past!
WILSON PICKETT: Let Me Be Your Boy * VERVE, VG+, drill hole in lbl, 75.- Euro
Vinyl has a kind of spot on the vinyl, that does not affect the soundquality. Actually without this spot this copy would be in VG++ condition. 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.
WILLIE TEE: Sweet Thing / Man That I Am * GATUR, VG++, H2O damaged labels, 60.- Euro, sold
Awesome funky soul by New Orleans legend Willie Tee on his own Gatur label. This is the misspelled version, credited to "Willie Lee". Hurricane Kathrina did some damage to the labels, but the vinyl is shiny and clean.
TONY ASHLEY: I Can't Put You Down * DECCA, VG++, 40.- Euro
A desert island disc for me and surely one of the most soulful performances ever put on wax. It's not a dancer, it's not deep soul, it's simply a generic Memphis soul 45 with immense intensity and a wonderful Willie Mitchell arrangement and Ann Peebles husband, Don Bryant, wrote this masterpiece.
FREDDIE SCOTT: (You) Got What I Need * SHOUT, strong VG, drill hole in lbl, 35.,- Euro, sold
Slightly wounded, but great playing, copy of this essential slice of funky soul, that kicks of with a sample of Biz Markie's immortal "Just A Friend". Half price on this as it's just VG, but still more then good for DJing as the saying goes.
Z.Z. HILL: Don't Make Promises (You Can't Keep) / Set Your Sights Higher * KENT, Promo, VG+, "x" on lbl flipside, 35.- Euro, sold
Z. Z.'s best soul record by far; two magnificiants sides to chose from and the guy recorded a shit load of fine records between 1963 and 1995. "Don't make Promises" shares the same backintrack as Eddie Rey's "I've Got Something Of Value", but "Don't Make Promises" is way better and much cheaper too. This is the rarer promo, the vinyl has light marks and plays excellent.
ERROLL GAYE & THE IMAGINATIONS: Love And Affection / You Don't Want my Love * STEEL TOWN; M-, 30.- Euro
One side soulful and uptempo, flip it over for a great sweet side. Excellent 1975 local Pittsburgh release, that can only go up in price. This is the last copy of the batch I once had. This copy comes with it's original jukebox stripe.
ELDRIDGE HOLMES: Let's Go Steady * KANSU, M-, 30.- Euro
Ask a soulfan for his favourite New Orleans artist and they will probabyl say Lee Dorsey, Willie Tee or Eddie Bo. My answer will be Eldridge Holmes, he is one of the greatest unsong heroes of the Big Easy with this record being no exception. "Let's Go Steady" is a perfect midtempo dancer, lurking into crossover territory and totally underplayed. Check the soundbyte!
ANDREW JEFFERIES: Not Like Just Any Girl / Slipped Into A Groove * QUEEN, M-, 30.- Euro
Two mighty fine 70's soul sides back to back, co-produced by Chicago's Simtec Simmons. It's mastered by "Audio Labs", a company in Chicago, so this is most likely a windy city sound. Not widely known and nothing that you see everyday.
ERNIE SHELBY: Right Here Where You Left Me / Carry Me * POLYDOR, M-, wol, 40.- Euro
Two great sides on this Polydor issue. The flipside "Right Here Where You Left Me" is my personal favouritre from the two, written by George Soule and Terry Woodford and recorded at Quinvy Studios in Sheffield Alabama. "Carry Me" is co-penned by Phillip Mitchell. I scanned the "Carry Me"-side as it has some significant writings on the label, the flipside label is clean.
ERNIE SHELBY: Punish Me / Bend Over Backwards * POLYDOR, M-, mild storage warp, 30.- Euro
Polydor's A&R man for soulmusic definitely had good taste, some great records came out on this major label. Most of them didn't sell at all and are highly collectable these days. Especially the issues, that in many cases have the better track on it then the mono/stereo promos. Here we have an overlooked Muscle Shoals production co-written by Phillip Mitchell (flipside is co-written by George Soule, who also played drums on both sides) and produced by Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford. Two stunning southern soul sides by a guy, who only released six 45s in his career
ARTIE CHRISTOPHER: My Baby's Crying / Don't Try It Again * 5-HIGH, VG++, 30.- Euro
A fantastic deep soul record with an equally great uptempo cut on the flip. Let's hear what sir shambling has to say about this record:
"Although he recorded a few 45s under the name “Artie Christopher” I’m 99% sure that this is really Johnny Christopher, the guitarist/songwriter who is best known in soul circles for his work with Chips Moman at his American Studio in Memphis. Christopher’s musical credits are both lengthy and impressive but I want to concentrate here on the soul side of his personality. His initial single under his nom-de-disque included the superb deep soul ballad "My Baby's Crying". This has all the ingredients that I love in this genre – some simple gospel chord changes, fine organ/piano accompaniment, a gently cooing chorus and some rich horns. On top of which “Artie” does a really bang-up job of expressing the emotional angst of his own lyric. Was this cut in Nashville? Or Atlanta – where Johnny came from? I don’t know. The flip – and both sides of the second Atlantic 45 were certainly cut at American."

PACE-SETTERS: Push On Jessie Jackson / Freedom And Justice * KENT, M-, 25.- Euro, on hold
Funky edged soul with a message, that recently crossed over to more open minded Northern Soul dos. I actually prefer the inbstrumental B-side, but both sides are great and this copy is clean as a whistle.
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. I'm down to my last copy of this!
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.
DELPHONICS: Don't Throw It All Away * ARISTA, M-, 25.- Euro
The masters of the sophisticated sweet soul style go modern on this one off Arista release for Philadelphias finest vocal group. Excellent uptempo 70's dance soul and this copy is as clean as it gets.
WILLIE TEE: I Want Somebody (To Show Me The Way Back Home) * ATLANTIC, strong VG+, drill hole in lbl, 25.- Euro
Never unerestimate a Willie Tee record, they are all great and this one didn't raise much attention when it was released after Willie scored a hit with "Walking Down A One Way Street", but it's simply an excellent Nola 60's mover. Check the soundbyte!
EDDIE BO: You Are Going To Be Somebodys Fool Too * NOLA; M-, 25.- Euro, sold
Edwin Bocage alias Eddie Bo, better know for his mindboggling funk sides from the 70's, with a superb 60's soul mover. Pure New Orleans class on extra clean wax. Don't sleep!
Z. Z. HILL: You Were Wrong / Tomble Weed * MH, VG to VG+, 25.- Euro
Two great 60's dance sides back to back by the mighty Z.Z. Hill, whose recording career spans over three decades. Mild surface marks only, this copy plays like a champ.
MARIE KNIGHT: Cry Me A River * MUSICOR, M-, 20.- Euro, on hold
My alltime favourite version of Seattle native Arthur Hamilton's composition. A soulful tour de force somewhere between deep soul and a beat ballad. Whatever you call it, it's definitely soulmusic with a capital "S".
GEORGE PORTER'S JOYRIDE: Cissy Strut / Sneaky Freaky * DEESU, M-, minor label flaking on flip, minor storage warp, 20.- Euro
Two excellent super tight New Orleans Funk sides, probably unplayed before I lifted the soundfile. George Porter was - of course - the bass player for the Meters.
FLOATERS AND SHU-GA: For Your Love * FEE, VG++, 15.- Euro, sold
A lengthy intro leads you straight into a mighty fine stepper. Totally underrated record out of Detroit and the label design alone is worth the buzying price.
DONNY GERARD: He's Always Somewhere Around * GREEDY, M-, 10.- Euro
One of the very best things you can buy for next to nothing. A 70's dancer, that sounds like 3 figures, a label design by an unknown maestro and the song was published by "Joyfully Sad Music", hionestly, what more do you want?
THE OTHER BOTHERS: Precious Memories * RENASSANCE "76", M-, 10.- Euro
Charming Detroit 70's soul. The basic track is recorded in Mono and the synths and the vocals are in Stereo - a weird but wonderful recording technique.
