The Autographs – Love's gonna do you in / On a hot summer day in the big city – Joker 714
Super in-demand LA dagger. Strictly graded, no deep marks that can be felt.
Visual grade: VG-
€1200
Edith Moreno – You better get ready for the judgement day / Standing on the solid rock – Savoy 4394
Modern gospel banger that was not even known to exist until a test press showed up back in 2017. A couple of lesser condition copies have surfaced since then but to find one as clean as this is near impossible.
Visual grade: M-
€650
Nathaniel Black – Freak all night / Keep on steppin' – NDR 0002256
Ultra rare Carolina boogie funk slapper with one of the coolest flute solos in the genre. Flip bangs as well!
Visual grade: EX
€600
Just Us – Stop pretending / I'm not jealous – Silver City
Obscure modern New York lowrider soul. Beautiful copy.
Visual grade: M-

Enigmatic Connecticut sweet soul with a blistering jazz-funk flip.
Visual grade: EX
€250
Arthur Noiel – It'll make you holler / She don't love me – Brownfield 1034
Two remarkable vocal performances and unfortunately the only recordings by this unknown Texas singer. Top side is a Northern dancer that's starting to gain traction amongst the more knowledgeable DJs, flip is and old school ballad of which I've recorded a longer clip because the way Arthur moves through the registers during the bridge are too good to ignore.
Visual grade: VG
€250
Christopher Cerf – Sweet music / The boat of Noah – Amy 954 DJ Copy
Big room Northern spin in excellent nick.
Visual grade: EX
€225
Wisdom – Wisdom's prayer / I know the lord will fix it – Wisdom GR-200

€125
The Union Gospel Singers – Leave your burden there / When the Lord gets ready – Designer SW72-6325
Rare as hen’s teeth Style Wooten gospel double-sider. The up-tempo side could ignite the dance floor in the hands of the right DJ (aka not me). But the real gem is the deep bluesy flip for me.
Visual grade: M-, minor dish warp
€100
