Little Curtis & The Bigmen - Peace (sale copy).mp3 Little Curtis

*****BOTH SOLD TO PEOPLE WITH EXCELLENT TASTE***** Hi All These are two very nice obscure and rare 45s - one funky and one crossover. Both spares I managed to pick up. (1) Little Curtis & The Bigmen - "Peace" (GF Productions) VG+ £200 *****SOLD***** one I've played at the last couple of Rhythm Soul & Funk weekenders in Eastbourne and gone down well - also featured on my last Mixcloud (2) Northern Lights - "Hey Mama" (Northern Lights) VG/VG+ £200 *****SOLD***** this is simply a stunning piece of flute-driven, pleading crossover soul which genuinely deserves to go big across a range of venues the recording is pitched up a little which gives it a more dancefloor friendly feel, but this really could catch on in all sorts of venues it is a little crackly in quieter parts but is pretty much exactly the same condition as the copy I'm keeping Little-Curtis-The-Bigmen-Peac-YTvyG4.mp3 Northern Lights - Hey Mama (sale copy).mp3

Massive tune over the last 15 years plus. Oscar Perry "I'm On My Way" (Paradise) - VG+ condition (scan and soundfile below) £2,000 Bank transfer or PayPal please (F&F or add 4% to cover my fees). PM if interested. Oscar Perry - I'm On My Way.mp3

Papa Bear & The Cubs. Who wants to spunk £3K on that awful piece of dreck? One of the worst records I have ever heard played in the name of rare soul.

Very sad news. A gentleman and such a stalwart as a DJ - somewhere every weekend! Such a shame his last year was filled with such anguish. RIP Ted.
