Appreciations - It's better to cry / Gimme back my soul - Sport / EX / £1600 (White demo of this legendary Detroit rarity. Flip is an absolutely great group ballad.)
Cuisine - High on you / Put your body in it - AJC Quatom / EX / £1000 (Rare and fabulous double header out of Las Vegas. Stepper side is pure fire, boogie flip ain’t bad either.)
Cato – Slice of heaven – Pretty Music / VG+ / £900 (Memphis holy grail type of 45 that works as good on the dancefloor as in the bedroom set. Vinyl has a few light marks, plays great.)
Soul Projections - It’s all up to you girl - B&L / EX / £850 (Super clean copy of this fantastic piece of mellow groove styled ballad. Nashville, Tennessee rarity.)
Hill & Gibson - Gotta find a way back home / Stay with me - H&G / EX / £700 (On of the rarest and best two step two siders around. “Stay with me” label side has a short pen stroke.)
Sly, Slick & Wicked - We don’t have to be lovers / Turn on your love lite - Shaker / EX / £400 (Two killer sides from the Cleveland, Ohio Sly, Slick & Wicked.)
Jay Griffin - Lucky me / How sweet it is - Now / VG+ / £350 (Classic Washington, D.C. release with a great dancer on one side and a superb ballad on the flip. Just shy of EX with a couple of faint sleeve marks, plays great.)
John Edwards - The look on your face / It’s those little things that count - Bell / EX / £300 (To me the best version of this fantastic song, really takes off mid way. Flip is a superb version of the song also done by Artistics and by Mel & Tim. Demo copy, pressed slight off centre.)
Van Williams - Sexy dancer [no label] - EX/VG+ / £250 (Boom! Infectious modern dancer, on a well rare 1986 indie. Pic sleeve has tiny corner tear, apart from that in pristine condition.)
Essence - Special lady - Genesis II / EX / £200 (Killer slowie out of Bronx, with a folky two step feel. Same label etc as Bobby Wright “Blood of an american”.)
Odia Coates - Make it up to me baby / The world’s such a happy place - Buddha / EX / £200 (Very rare issue with flipside not on the demos. Two great floater type of sounds.)
Dennis Coffey – Love theme from black belt Jones / Theme from black belt Jones – WB / EX / £125 (Rare and classic genre border crossing 45. Issue copy, with sticker on the more uptempo side with name and address of previous owner.)
