Nice Selection For Sale - All With Scans And Clips
A nice selection for sale. Northern/R&B/Crossover. Any further questions, just PM me. Discount available on multiple purchases. Audio files for all records can be found here Steve Mancha - Friday night/Monday through thursday - Groovesville (VG) £80 This record obviously had a hard life. But still plays surprisingly good, especially the flipside. The Variations - Shakin' and breakin - MTA (Demo, EX) £50 Seems to be lesser known/overlooked? Full blown 100 mph uptempo Northern from the west coast. Check the sound file! Willie Harper - But I couldn't - Alon (EX) £10 Stafford Classic, very slight warp NAP Mary Ann Fisher - Forever more - Seg-Way (VG++) £15 Early 60s mid-/uptempo, nice one! Chuck Jackson - Hand it over - Wand (VG++) £10 SOLD Joe Tex - Don't play - Checker (VG++/EX) £15 Proper hard stomping R&B Richard Barbary - When Johnny comes marching home - Spring (Demo, VG++) £10 Excellent lesser known midtempo, stomps along nicely. Production sounds "very Detroit-ish". Check the sound file! Tommy Youngblood - Hello darling/Did I ever make you cry - Chattahoochee (EX) £20 6T's/R&B double-sider. Two nice sides. The Dramatics - Your love was strange - Volt (EX) £10 Detroit crossover, seen for £30. Lovely sweet soul ballad on flip Edwin Starr - Running back and forth/Time - Tamla Motown UK (EX, edge damage) £5 One of his best. Lovely crossover b/w alltime classic. Some strange damage to the run-in-groove tho, looks like pressing plant damage. Plays through w/out any problem, it just looks odd. The Precisions - You're sweet/Mexican love song - D-Town (EX) £20 Great vocal group double-sider. £75 on Manship's site. Check the sound file! Eddie Powers - Gypsy woman told me - Sims (VG++) £5 6T's mid to uptempo from New Orleans Magic Lanterns - Baby, I gotta go now - Atlantic (EX) £5 blue-eyed group and not the slightest bit rare. But what a track, so catchy! Check the sound file! Mighty Marvellows - This town's too much - ABC (EX) £10 Chicago uptempo Northern. Kim Weston - Another train coming - Tamla (W/D, EX) £30 Early 60s Soul/Popcorn. Typical Motown sound from that era. Nice white demo Jay & The Techniqes - Help yourself to all my lovin'/Baby make your own sweet music - Smash (EX) £5 Don't let that name put you off. Catchy "feel good" dancer! And a cheesy Northern classic as bonus on the flipside Mel Williams - That don't make me sad - Soul Time (EX) £25 nice L.A. mid to uptempo R&B. Had spins on the Mod/R&B scene recently. £100 on Manship's site (he probably knows something about the record I don't) B.B. King - The hurt - ABC (EX) £10 6T's Dancer. Same as Freddie North on RIC Little Pattie - Pushin' a good thing too far - HMV Australia (EX) £20 Australian only cover of Barbara Lewis/Sandy Williams. faster and "girlier" than the other two versions.

and Even More Ebay Madness
It was even less than 20 at one time. When the first batch turned up about 15 years I bought two copies, tenner each. Shrewd businessman I am I later sold both on @ 30 and 50 quid each thinking I made a nice profit. For sure it's not one that is around in quantity. When you look at the label (partially hand stamped, some credits missing, etc.) you know immediately it's a private press that didn't sell well.

This Record Definitely Doesn't Exist, (Or Does It) ?
Wow, that's a nice one. Well done, Dave! I collect german presses and I always wish one day I'll find a beauty like this instead of pop sh*t like Derek Christien

Patty Stokes On Jm's Auction
Slightly off topic. Judy Stokes = Judy Page (former Ikette) from Peoria, IL https://www.peoriajazz.com/home.php?section_lvl=website_artist&sub_lvl=profile&artist_id=2004051714593940a919aba669a

Marge Dodson - Bricks, Broken Bottles And Sticks
Common one, it's the "amateur copy" that everyone's after (or was that "amateur porn"?) Anyway, it's known I think. Should be around 50/75?
-
This Record Definitely Doesn't Exist, (Or Does It) ?
Tony, I did read all your words. Did you too?
-
This Record Definitely Doesn't Exist, (Or Does It) ?
And the fact that it was mentioned as just bumbling under the Billboard Top 100 for a few weeks in october 64. Back to the Volumes on Pama: Dave/Tony, honestly, claiming you've seen a copy 40 odd years ago means FA in the end.

The Most Miserable Record Dealer
Think I have to stand up for Richard Domar. Used to buy loads of stuff off him in pre-Internet days . He got his own "rules of acquisition" that I agree are a bit odd. But I got along with him very well as long as I stuck to these rules. Whenever I phoned him to order stuff I ended up chatting with him endlessly about german football clubs. Infact sometimes I went to my parents to call Richard as I knew the phone bill would ruin me

George Freeman Down And Out
purple issue rarer than demo (and more attrative looking) so you're not that far off. I'd 150 WD and 200 issue. One of my alltime favourite beat ballads, should be 500+ just for the quality.

Invincibles - So Much Love
There is infact a french release by the Invincibles. But I think it' "that love of mine". And I can't remember if it's on 45 or EP. Very vague I know but it might help you
-
Don Adams-Yesterday Hero
Sorry, can't acess Popsike from my office PC. It's just that I heard of the french EP a few times but never of a german EP so I assumed you might be looking for a press that actually doesn't exist. But thanks for correcting. Another one for my wants list of german presses.
-
Don Adams-Yesterday Hero
I guess the EP you're looking for is french not german

Ebay Transaction
I may just don't get it: seller sends insured only and buyer insists on the goods being sent just registered? if that's the case why is it a scam?

Derrick Harriott - The Loser (Incredibly Soulful Rocksteady 45)
Wish I had seen this earlier One of the best (and probably one the slowest) Rocksteady tunes! Would have bought it straight away at that price...

Wanted: Five Royales - Catch That Teardrop
(First posted it about 8 weeks ago. Unfortunately the record got lost in the post so here I am again:) A close friend of mine is trying to find a nice copy of Five Royales - Catch that teardrop either on Home of the blues or ABC. Doesn't have to be mint but should be playable at least. He'd be able to pay up to 200 quid, depending on condition. Please PM me with price and condition, Thanks!

Marshall Donovan Broomfield: Since I Found My Baby
I find the two versions to be too different for comparison (and I think both are great!)

Value For Two Uk Demos?
John, I guess my prices were fair: Artistics already sold and looks like Tommy G will be leaving these premises too.
-
Where's The New Discoveries ?
Don't know all of them but aren't they a bit left-field compared to the classic four beats to the bar Northern sound? I think the actual question was, there are hardly any new Northern four beats to the bar discoveries. And with that I'd certainly agree.
-
Value For Two Uk Demos?
Both records are now up for sale with fair prices (IMHO), Artistics @70, Tommy G @ 45, both incl 'signed for' post worldwide. Would prefer cash but if anyone's up for trading against any Ska/Early Reggae discs from my wants list feel free to contact me any time.
