!!!OFF TOPIC!!! Just uploaded a pro Valentine's Day mix on Mixcloud. All two step, all duets and all indie labels.

Hello and welcome to the first list of the year. 45’s only this time around. With strong sections of modern soul, crossover, northern soul and a meaty ballad section. And the comeback of the 2 Step section! There’s also a strong section with rare and sought after recent releases and reissues. There will be another list end of next month with more original 45’s, as well as 12 inchers and albums. PM to reserve. For paypal payments please make sure both currency fields are GBP, I don’t want to receive payments in other currencies. And for orders over £150 I need payment as gift alternatively add 4% to cover the fees.

Northern Soul – There’s alot of nice cheap and mid priced goodies here this time around. By artists such as Sapphires, Bud Harper, Cholli Maye and True Tones. But also a few really rare ones such as Andy Fisher on Fat Fish (very nice and clean copy!), Oscar Wright on Fairmount (ditto), Edward Hamilton first take of “I’m gonna love you” on Mary Jane. Crossover – Plenty of options here too. Choice of Colour “Your love”, Darrell Banks “I’m the one who loves you”, Compacts double header on Carla, Harvey Averne Dozen “Central Park” plus many more. Modern Soul – Philly Cream super rare issue copy with “Too much to talk about” on the b-side. Manzel “Space funk” (clean copy complete with company sleeve), And two solid ones with strong sweet soul flipsides – Four Tracks on Note and Brothers By Choice on New World. Gil Scott-Heron “Willing”, Gloria Gaynor “This love affair” and more. Deep/Sweet/Group – Strong section with a few of the highlights in Satagans, Soft Touch, Bill Brantley, Webs and Calif Malibus. LP and 12 inch sectors are back for this list with small but high quality concentrated content – Beginning of the End’s rare and great self titled LP, Gaston (feat “Mind sticker and “Love is gonna getcha”), Mike James Kirklands first album, cheapies by Joneses, Main Ingredient and more. In the twelve inch section we have Cassiano “Onda”, ultra rare Mark IV with the full version of “Signs of a dying love” an a couple of more. There’s also a new mix for this month. This time a pretty random one I quickly put together using records lying around my listening station. Link here. And again – For all paypal payments please make sure I get the payment in GBP. Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Paypal will default so that I receive your payment in SEK unless you change to GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees.

Again – For all paypal payments please make sure I get the payment in GBP. Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Paypal will default so that I receive your payment in SEK unless you change to GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees.

Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees.

Thanks I'll try that!

Looking for a clean copy of Finess "Have it your way" on Brown Bomber. PM if you have one for sale!

PM to reserve! Hi and welcome to the my November 2016 sales list. A nice and varied one this time with all records being grouped up in seven different categories. Four covering the 45's - Modern Soul, Northern/Crossover/Funk, all kind of ballads and a Latin section. Then there's two strong sections of Modern/Disco parted in US and non US ones. And lastly a section I never used before which is Italo-Disco albums. I have a new mix this month as well. This time it's the sixth volume in my 2 step and mellow groove series for the Record Mania blog. Find the link here. For all paypal payments please make sure I get the payment in GBP. Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees.

Hi and welcome to the second and last list of September 2016. All new fresh stuff not listed before this time. And a pretty extensive list this time around. There’s a small pile of rare and great funk 45’s such as All the People “Cramp your style”, Bootsey Phelps “Fun in your thang”, James West “Hanging out”, Melvin Bliss “Synthetic substitution”, 1619 Bad Ass Band and more. Northern soul oldies in Ambers “I love you baby”, Poets, Vontastics, Moments, Mighty Marvelows. The modern soul section is filled with goodies. A couple of expensive ones such as an issue copy of Bessie Banks on Quality, Dreamflight, Wack Attack, Fantastic Puzzles. And a bunch of mid priced ones. For instance Sergio Mendes “Love music”, Tapestry “It’s not the world’s that messed up”, Main Ingredient in-demander “Instant love” plus a load of major label cheap but great ones. There’s a few very nice crossover items such as Thomas East “Follow the rainbow” on True Soul, Sedatrius “Just one earring”, Sly Slick & Wicked’s “Surely”, George McCrae “Take it all off” and Prophecy “Rain in my life”. The two step section is back with a few rarities plus cheap and great stuff, and so is the sweet/deep section. Lastly there’s two real nice 12 inchers and a bunch of albums such as Lou Pride “Very special”, a still sealed Gene Chandler “The girl don’t care”, Conti Family including “You’ve got me going baby”.

One grading I don’t really use – one tiny mark/scuff/flame/scratch and it’s EX. Many new records will not make this grade. EX – Basically everything that will look and play great. VG+ – Will have marks that may very moderately affect play. Might have fairly large amount cosmetic marks not affecting play. VG – Lots of marks, should still play fairly well but not perfect. VG- – Lots and lots of marks, see description on how it plays.

A M- copy on Karen would be best, but would settle for a Moira one with a clean label and that plays well. Edit: Wouldn't mind a copy of "That's when I'll stop loving you" either. BR, Karl

Hi and welcome to the July 2016 list. A short list is better than no list. I scraped together a few mostly obscure but nice 45’s together with both cheap and rare modern soul classics. There’s a few albums too, mostly cheap major labels one including excellent two step tracks but also a couple of rarities in Pin Points and Betty Padgett. PM to reserve! For those who prefer the music free I have uploaded my daytime set from the Stockholm Soul Weekender which took place in June. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gC9p80vrjU Enjoy your summer!

Dear All, Hi and welcome to the May 2016 list. Nice and varied list this time around. A bunch of killer 45’s in all price ranges. Albums and 12 inchers are back with a strong selection of mostly mid priced collectibles. PM to reserve. Some of the highlights: Modern Soul/Boogie 45’s – Crystal Motion (black label vinyl copy), Lamar Thomas “Feel so good inside” Mca promo, Liberation “Don’t spread your love around” GSF rare issue copy with “Take my best shot” on the flip, NYC proto disco via Patrick Adams/Sandy’s Gang “Hungry”, C.L. Blast “Love don’t feel like love no more”. There’s a few indemand boogie 45’s such as Direct Pressure “Let me love you”, Pulse “She’s hot”, Wicked “Bring your body”, Chocolate Buttermilk Band “Can’t let go”. I’m also happy to offer the two 45’s from the Chicago group Pamoja/Jewel, both originals in very clean condition. There’s also a bunch of high quality major label releases both rare and not so rare. Northern Soul 45’s – Servicemen “I need a helping hand”, Vito & Salutations on Sandbag, Edd Henry “Your replacement is here”, Jackie Beavers (Tammy Levon) “Come back my love” on Nation, Roy Wright “Hook, line & sinker” and a few more. Soulful funk 45’s such as Willie Johnson’s super tough Drive rarity “Lay it on me” plus classics in Sugar “Takin’ care of your main man”, Joyce Williams “The first thing I do in the morning” and Getto Kitty “Stand up and be counted”. Crossover soul in Otis Clay “You hurt me for the last time”, Universal Minds on Charles (now dried up and heavily indemand), Magnetics “Wasting time” (affordable but as good as their Sable sides). Two I had lots of interest in last time I had – Cruisers “Mink and sable mable” and Lost Generation “You only get out of love”. And two with a touch of latin namely Oaxaca “Stop your crying” and Cold Smoke “Don’t fall in love”. On with the slower stuff: A comeback on the 2 step/mellow groove section. CWCP, Starvue, Donnell Pitman , Wee Gee, Carletta Sue and more. Ballads/Group/Sweet/Deep – another short but sweet selection with all high quality discs. Family Connection “This time”, Relatives “More time”, Diamonettes “Don’t be surprised” (on first label before Alston), Henry Ford “Take me for what I am. Modern sweet from New York City “Don’t rush me now”, Fauns Bell “Gift of love”, Gaslight Polydor issue. Switching format: 12’s – Had someone raid this section before I got the list out but a bunch of great ones left from Four Below Zero, Skip Mahoney, Donald Albert, Marcus, Crosswind. And a two step duet from Tracy Spurlin & George Kerr in “If you could read my mind”. Albums – Only essential stuff! 60’s Detroit soul from Freddy Butler and The Metros. Major label rarities from Wilson Williams, Edna Wright (what an album!), Joneses, Popcorn Wylie and others. Motown related in Odyssey, Satisfaction Unlimited and Bobby Taylor. Two step fans will get theirs in Karin Jones “Under the influence of love”, William Lane Jr. (minty fresh copy in shrink, including “A face in the crowd”. And a cover with him sporting his tightest Super Man t-shirt) and J.R. Funk & Love Machine “I really hope you understand”. And some indie labels – Memory of Justice Band, O’Jays “Super bad” (On first label Little Star, still sealed too!) and Jessie Butler. Info about payment, grading, shipping costs etc after the listings. I require paypal payments over £150 to be sent as gift (or add 4% to the total) to cover paypal fees.

This US release is much rarer. Same sided demo. Vinyl is EX apart from a heat mark in the outro. The mark is troublesome on one side but only creates a couple of pops in the last second or so of the outro, when the music is almost turned off.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QROm3YUJCy4 Smallwood Brothers – How many roads / No one – Atco / EX / £40 (Very rare issue copy with two excellent sides of 1977 Philly modern soul.

One grading I don’t really use – one tiny mark/scuff/flame/scratch and it’s EX. Many new records will not make this grade. EX – Basically everything that will look and play great. VG+ – Will have marks that may very moderately affect play. Might have fairly large amount cosmetic marks not affecting play. VG – Lots of marks, should still play fairly well but not perfect. VG- – Lots and lots of marks, see description on how it plays.
