The California Playboys’ 1976 Loadstone LP has been changing hands for three-figure sums for decades. Here are the top two dance tracks Just Say A Four Letter Word and She's My Real Sweet Woman that put it into that price bracket. Both are favourites of Modern Soul fans, and to have them on a handy 7-inch disc with a suitable 45 edit will make them irresistible. -
TC Lee & The Bricklayers / Mike Pedicin - Up And Down The Hill / Burnt Toast - Kent Gusto 2009 saw this 45 release from the short lived Kent Gusto imprint, Mike Pedicin got the top billing at the time of release, while here at the Soul Source store we would have to say T C Lee has the more star quality (perhaps). Anyway two for one, 'Up And Down The Hill ' uptempo northern from the King Label backed with a updated cover of Shorty Longs 1956 'Burnt Toast And Black Coffee' View full store item

Joe Burrell / Pookie Hudson - There Was A Time / This Gets To Me - Kent City 056 Release for a track that was once better known as sung by Kae Williams ‘There Was A Time’ is known to rare soul fans as ‘Our Love Is Dying’ by Kae Williams, as which it appeared on a fake Treasure Island label for some YouTube clips, but the truth is it was an unissued tape find. Given the haunting quality of such a great soul song, various DJs had it cut to acetate. It was titled after a line in the lyrics and accredited to Kae Williams, who produced the track and owned the Junior label for which it was recorded. The real artist is Joe Burrell, as revealed on the master tape owned by Jamie Records, who ran many of the major soul labels in the Philadelphia area. We have coupled it with the all-time Northern classic ‘This Gets To Me’ by Pookie Hudson, which is in constant demand and has been unavailable for many years.

Obrey Wilson / Lee Brackett - Daddy Please Stay Home / You Get To Me - Kent City 052 Two previously unreleased on vinyl tracks from Kent 45... Modern soul fans have been singing the praises of ‘Daddy Please Stay Home’ by veteran soul singer Obrey Wilson, a 1975 recording previously available only on a Kent CD. Wilson’s sad vocal is perfect for this mid-tempo groove. Lee Brackett’s bouncy, more jazz-influenced ‘You Get To Me’ was recorded a couple of years earlier and also missed out on a release at the time. This infectious track is just waiting for an enterprising DJ to programme it into their set. View full store item

Tutti Hill - When The Going Gets Rough - Kent City 049 A first time out on 45 for these two sides in 2017, Kent Records release notes follow below Tutti Hill’s ‘When The Going Gets Rough’ was listed on the label of her Arock single in 1964 but the record actually played ‘Whoa Whoa, Baby Take It Slow’. At last this gorgeous mid-tempo dancer from Ron Miller and Lee Porter makes it to 45. The flip is a piano and voice demo from the same stable but Garrett Saunders’ magnificent baritone makes the song I Keep Comin' Back For More a must-have View full store item

Lorraine Johnson / Deep Velvet - Love Like Yours / Complain To The Clouds - Kent City 048 Lorraine Johnson verified that the sumptuous vocals on ‘A Love Like Yours’ were indeed hers, though again the author of the song is unknown. Deep Velvet give a much more harmonious take on Ripple’s ‘Complain To The Clouds’, transforming it from a funk growl into a true soul song View full store item

Street People - Your Momma Had A Baby / Baby You Got It All - Kent City 042 Street People were a successful 70s harmony group on the Vigor label who, prior to that, had cut a superb single on Spring. ‘Baby You Got It All’ is the rarer side of the Spring 45, demo copies having featured mono and stereo version of the other deck. On the same multi-track mastertape we discovered ‘Mama Had A Baby’, another brilliant Ray Dahrouge song and production, which debuts here.. View full store item

Timmy Wilson - Long Ways To Go / Ansler Montel - Chained Am I - Kent City 040 The previously unknown Timmy Wilson recorded ‘Long Ways To Go’, a terrific R&B groove, in Columbus, Ohio in 1965. This first vinyl release following the track’s debut on our recent “Modernists” CD is assured club plays from eager mod and R&B DJs. The vocalist on ‘Chained Am I’ was unknown until some astute detective work revealed it to be Ansler Montell, who wrote the song with Johnny Northern and J.R. Bailey. Recorded for New York label Arock, this is its first issue. View full store item

Larry Banks / Bobby Penn - Ooh It Hurts Me / Without Your Love - Kent City 019 ‘Ooh It Hurts Me’, aka ‘Sweet Baby’ as released by Al Gardner, gained a huge following when the Metros RCA cover of it was discovered by Kent in the 90s. This is the original recording by the song’s creator; the musical genius Larry Banks. Flip it over for the best version of his own composition ‘Without Your Love’ which was released as an LP track by the Hesitations, covered exquisitely by the Shaladons but given extra added punch by the unknown Bobby Penn.
