PM to reserve! Dear All, Hi and welcome to the March 2016 list. A 45's only list this time around and mostly mid priced items. I have divided them into three different segments - Modern & Crossover, Northern and a Ballads/Group/Sweet/Deep one. Some of the highlights: Modern Soul/Crossover - nice clean copy of Frankie Zhivago Young's "Someobody stole my love", Carstairs original promo release of their classic "It really hurts me girl", Cruisers indemander "Mink and sable Mable", some killer Philly soul dancers from Love Committee, Billy Proctor, Ben E. King and Delfonics. Dottie Pearson's since long deleted Grapevine 45 "A house made of love" / "Bring it over baby". A under the radar and killer dancer from Hoagy Lands in "Do you know what life is all about", Albert Jones double header on Bumpshop and many more. I also re-listed the Higher Feelings Kent rarity for a set sale price as the high bidder did not honor his bid. Northern Soul - nice mixture of mid-price dancers and beat ballads from artists like Ruby Winters ("Better", vinyl copy with company sleeve), Pat Clayton, Brooks O'Dell, Gloria Lynne, Ohio Players and Butlers ("Laugh, laugh, laugh"). There's also a major funk rarity in Big Al & the Star Treks "Funky funk". Ballads/Group/Sweet/Deep - short but sweet selection with all high quality discs. Fred Johnson on Shi-Lush, Different Shades of Brown super rare issue copy featuring "When the hurt is back on you"/ "Sending good vibrations". Turbulations on Guava, Sensations "Please baby please", Spydels "Peace of mind" and more. 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.

There’s a Ronnie McCain on Triode, Freddie Terrell “You had it made”, Soul Brothers Six, Shirelles on Blue Rock and many more. For lovers of slow soul 45’s we have a section dedicated to that with the whole price range represented. From a clean copy of Question’s ultra rarity on Gold And Soul Productions to a clean copy of George Kerr’s best moment in “Sunday”. There’s a very cool section of rare European, mostly picture sleeved, releases on northern soul and 60’s soul classics. If you want more of that check my Discogs shop, link further down. Nearly all in stunning shape too. Not many albums and 12 inchers this time around but all great ones such as Chapparalls 1978 Atlanta, GA rarity, Lanier “25 hours”, Willie Bobo’s version of “Always there”, a few cheapies with Johnny Bristol and Thelma Jones plus a bunch of Blaxploitation albums. PM to reserve! Also don’t forget to follow my Discogs shop where I add new stock every week. If you order from me directly rather than from there I can pass on the saved fees and knock off 10% off the listed prices. https://www.discogs.com/seller/K-Mart/profile Info about payment, grading, shipping costs etc after the listings. I require paypal payments over £150 as gift (or add 4% to the total) to cover paypal fees.

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.
