"Big City Lights" on STA-SET is one of my all-time favourite ballads. So gritty it hurts. She seems to have been mainly active in the gospel field and I've read that some cassettes or LPs from as late as the 80s shall be in existence. Haven't seen or heard one of those myself. These are in any case small label or local church gospel releases. The only other 45 with her that I've been able to locate is one released as Cleo Jackson Randle on CHECKER, "Life In Heaven Is Free" b/w "No One Cares For Me Like Jesus". "Life In..." is magnificent! Here's an unplayed copy of that Checker 45 for $8.99: https://cgi.ebay.com/CLEO-JACKSON-RANDLE-no...6QQcmdZViewItem

"Good Things" is a superb tune that I've been after for ages. £275 however, is too much for me. Knock off £200 and I'd be tempted, but that's still pushing it a bit. An old funk classic that could go in a "northern setting" as well I guess. Not that it matters really, it would be great played in any "setting". "It's All Over" has got a decent backing, but the singing is on the weak side, plus it sounds a wee bit too much like "I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face" by Baby Washington (and Arteha Franklin etc.) which is a far superior track and a stone cold classic.

Yes, i know them. Guys & Dolls should be £5-£10 and perhaps slightly more for the Van Dykes 45.

No, but if the "supply" consists of... let's say 500 copies... then it will last for a very, very long time and the price will drop accordingly. And that is always a good thing.

I quite like the flip on MM.

Gold paint (or other colours) was used as an alternative to making drill holes in records that record stores couldn't send back to the distributors.

It's a wishy-washy crossover dancer. Not bad, but nothing to get excited about in my opinion either. Good lead vocal though.

These auctions are ending later today. Thanks for checking them out.

Two copies of the Viola Wills 45 on A Bem Sole has sold on eBay during that past 14 days for about £50 each.

That's correct. That's incorrect.

Bloody impressive stuff!!! Fantastic! THANKS!

It wasn't listed as Claude Huey Drifting in the "title", you had to search for it using the "title and description" search and that's sadly not possible with completed items. But here it is: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=4744959436

It was issued twice. First with "Stones..." on the flip, and then with "...Liza Jane". So I guess we're both right. Full info here: https://theband.hiof.no/singles/#levon_and_the_hawks

A copy of "Drifting" sold on eBay about a week ago for $50-ish. Feel free to bid on the Zircons 45: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4749953400 I don't pull auctions off eBay.

Yes. If you're into raunchy garage rock, check out their fantastic "Leave Me Alone" on canadian Apex and US Ware released as The Canadian Squires.

It's the flipside to "The Stones That I Throw".

£5-ish. It was a Top-10 hit on the US r&b chart.

Sure, the Claude Baby Huey has shot up a bit in value over the past couple of months, but £100 surely is a piss take. £50 perhaps, but not £100. Good track.

Fantastic tune. "Claim Jumping" from the LP is also great, was issued as a 45 on Clintone.

That's one hell of a fantastic tune. Love it! I'd travel quite far to be able to go to a club that played stuff like this.

I'm up for it. That Krisp tune on Indigo is very nice. Don't have it myself though. Anyone have a copy for sale?
