  1. To order: PM me . Records will be reserved on a strict first come, first served basis. No matter how big your order is, 7.- Euro flat unless you want registered postage! I recomend registration for all orders over 50.- Euro for additional cost of 3.- Euros. The list is not really sorted, so you find Funk, next to Northern and R&B next to Modern. Prices are in Euro!!! Grading: Goldmine grading system - M- / VG++/ VG+ / VG / VG- etc. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE LYRICS: Keep Me Close To Your Heart * J.W.J., strong VG+, 300.- Euro A Michigan rarity that not really popped up in the last couple of years. Steady pounding soul with an almost raw gospel feel to the performance. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/lyricskkepmecloseto.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FRANKIE ALLEN: Some Time Alone * C.R.S., Promo, VG+, 150.- Euro Great and very rare Philly Sweet Soul. Vinyl has a non feelable surface mark, that keeps it form being mint. Playgrade is excellent, check the soundbyte! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/frankieallentimealone.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GHETTO CHILDREN: It's Not Easy To Say Goodbye / Don't Take Your Sweet Lovin' Away * ROULETTE, Promo, VG++, wol and a very light lift, not affecting play at all, 80.- Euro, sold Two fantastic uptempo 70's dance soul sides back to back with an irresistable Bobby Martin production anticipating the upcoming disco wave, but never neglecting the classic soul era. This record had some spins some 20 years ago on the UK Modern Soul scene and listening to it now, makes me wonder, which big name DJ starts the revival. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ghettochildrenitsnoteasy.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ghetoochildrendonttakeyour.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DONNIE TEE: Funky Rooster / Crusty * ROGA, VG+, 75.- Euro North Carolina Funk kicking off with an amazing open drum break and despite the fact, that the drummer on this track really gets wicked, I have a weak spot for records imitating animals. Killer flip on top and needless to say that this is a record that rarely pops up for sale. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/donnieteefunky.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/donnieteecrusty.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx RICKY LANCE: Lay The Cash On The Line * CITY LIGHTS, M-, 60.- Euro, sold Spacy Cali 70's soul midpacer with great lyrics and incredible great vocals by the ominous Ricky Lance. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/rickylancelaaythecash.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LEE McDONALD: Gotta Get Home / Show Me * DEBBIE, M-, 75.- Euro, on hold Outstanding Modern Soul stepper from 1979. Top side is on the rare LP by Lee McDonald as well, but the 7" provides a different mix compared to the LP-take. Flip it over for a beautiful slow jam. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldgottaget.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leemcdonaldshow.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOE BATAAN: Johnny * MERCIANA, VG, 75.- Euro 15 years ago, when Joe Bataan started touring again, he guested in the Mojo Club on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. When he came back on stage for his encores he asked the audience, if there's a particular song, that they want to hear. someone screamed "Johnny" and 10 seconds later the crowd danced to this 1973 funky Latin Soul masterpiece like they never danced before. This copy unfortunately has a 1cm scratch, right in the middle of the tune, that causes some clicks, nothing to bad and a repair job would fix this easily. Check the soundfile before ordering please! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/joebataanjohnny.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TORY WYNTER: Real True Voices * AKASHA, VG++, 60.- Euro Oddball New York 70's Modern Soul with distinctive charm and a strong message. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/torywynterrealtrue.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOHN WILLIAMS & THE TICK TOCKS: Do Me Like You Do Me / Blues, Tears And Sorrows * SANSU, promo, M-, 60.- Euro, on hold Bargain price for a legendary New Orleans soul 45. One side provides a top notch 60's dancer, that had plays on the Northern Soul scene. Flipside is one of the finest deep soul ballads recorded in the crescent city. This copy has the label of "Do Me..." glued on twice, it would be easy to remove the upper label, I leave that up to the new owner. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/johnwilliamsdomelike1.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/johnwilliamsbluetears.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ONYX: You Never Fail To Amaze Me * YEW, M-, 60.- Euro, sold Super clean copy of this amazing fingersnapping 1970's dancer.

Superb record with a nice ballad flipside. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/joechapbeautiful.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/joechapillbeyour.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CHARLES JOHNSON: Good Good Lovin'* * DASH, promo, M-, 50.- Euro, sold A record, that suffers the sad fate called "his other record". Everybody knows and adores Charles Johnsons immortal "Never had a love so good" and a classic like this overshadows everything else in your Œuvre. A huge mistake, "Good Good Lovin'" is equally great and costs a fraction of his big one. Check the soundbyte and get blown away by a perfect Florida Modern Soul dancer. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/charlesjohnsongoodgood.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THE YOUNG HOLT TRIO: Ain't There Something Money Can't Buy * BRUNSWICK, M-, 50.- Euro This Chicago trio never needed more than a Piano, an upright bass and a set of drums to create some irresistable jazzy grooves. Gangstarr sampled this and Nick Waterhouse plays "Ain't There Something..." in his live sets. Clean copy in it's original birth sleeve. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/youngholtainttheresome.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MADELINE & THE MONTICELLOS: Binding Ring Of Gold * DE-VEL, promo, VG+, 50.- Euro, sold Dance group soul of the highest order; soulful to the max female singing, backed up by a super tight band and Gamble & Huff staff member Gene Dozier was behind the controls.

Only released in Peru, a few mild clicks during the opening bars, after that this copy plays almost perfect. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ottoalrittmo.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TONY ASHLEY: I'll Never Be Satisfied / All Along I've Loved You * FORTE, M-, 40.- Euro One of the great unsung heroes of soulmusic's long history. He recorded only three 45s in his short career and was shot dead aged 29 in front of his workplace. This is Tony Ashley's (miscredited here as Tony Ashly) debut for Forte records in Kansas City and both sides provide lovely indie label soulmusic. The flip really gets my juices flowing with it's deep soul flavour, if you like it more raw and funky, check out the featured side "I'll Never Be Satisfied".. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/tonyashleyillneverbe.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/tonyashleyallalong.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CLIFF WAGNER: Exception To The Rule * JEWEL, romo, VG++, 40.- Euro Under the radar New Orleans 60's Soul dancer written by Mac Rebennack aka Dr. John. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/cliffwagnerexception.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TONY OWENS: Woman, I Got To Leave You * SANSU, M-, 35.- Euro Great New Orleans 70's dancer, way underarretd and something, that would sound great in every Modern room. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/tonyowenswomanigotto.mp3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DEAN PARRISH: Skate * BOOM, M-, 40.- Euro Stone mint copy of this action packed funky banger from the great Dean Parrish.

What the f*ck is an "Untouchable Machine Shop"? And how does a name like this can get connected to an extraordinaire free funk track? Anyway, this is a fantastic funk record driven by an unstoppable wah-wah-guitar, heavy beats and raunchy basslines.

Deep soul never sounded more lonesome and lost than on this groundbreaking recording. Every home should have one is a lousy seller catchphrase, but in this case, I feel it's justified.

  4. Here is the flipside of my copy: skysthelimitinstr.mp3
  5. Hi Sharlow, nice to put the pieces together. Your version is definitely the DJ-friendly version with a much better sound. I would be curious to hear the flipside of yours. As the flips is, let's say, pretty much out of this world. If you ever find a spare of "Pleasure" by the General please drop me a line. Is Robert Lee's brother Junei the same guy who had an 80's 45 on Pharaohs Records?
  6. Hi Sharlow, it's indeed hard to say if this a "4" or a "6", but in the end rather clearly a "6". Are you sure your version is an original? It sounds a bit like an edit, with elements of "part 2" added to the mix, the drums sound a bit like a modern day producer had it's hands on them. Also the whole mix sounds slightly "modern", not muffled like the original mix. Did you realize, that the issue has different production credits then the demos? On the demos it's Robert Lee, the same person as General Lee, who recorded three rare 45s on Lost Weekend and might be better know on this forum for his Steeltown recording as Robert Lee & The Exquistes. The issues have another producer credited
  7. What do you mean by 356 version? Catalogue number is 356 and 356 is included on both sides of the dead wax. Mine is a different version then yours. skysthelimit.mp3
  8. I have the version with "NR 7730-1 IRDA-356-A 2E" in the dead wax.
  9. To order: PM me . Records will be reserved on a strict first come, first served basis. No matter how big your order is, 7.- Euro flat unless you want registered postage!

A slick bassline and some percussion set the tone for Willie Tee's jazzy keyboard licks and the result is simply mindblowing. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/gatursgaturbai.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/gaturswaste.mp3 SEBASTIAN WILLIAMS: Get Your Point Over * OVIDE, M-, 150.- Euro Clean copy of this indemand Houston/Texas late 60's dancer. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/sebastianwilliamsgetyour.mp3 JESSE JAMES: If You Want A Love Affair * 20th CENTURY, M-, 100.- Euro 1975 70's soul from the top shelf and a classic on the Modern Soul floors across the globe.

"Spin-It Jig" is a funky dancefloor bomb, that simply sounds amazing played out loud while "Eternal" is a gorgeous ballad, that sweet and deep collectors adore for good reason. "Eternal" has a kind of spot in the run-out-grooves, that causes mild pops, but just shortly after the song faded out, so it doesn't affect the sound. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/smokeybrooksspinitjig.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/smokeybrookseternal.mp3 GENE CHANDLER: There Was A Time * BRUNSWICK, strong VG, drill hole in lbl, 50.- Euro The daddy of funky edged soul.

Light marks only and priced accordingly I believe. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/genechandlertherewas.mp3 THE BAMBOOS: Tighten Up * KAY-DEE, M-, 50.- Euro, on hold The best version of Archie Bell's classic by a country mile. A copy sold for 75 english pounds on a well known dealers site lately, so this should be a bargain for someone. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/bamboostightenup.mp3 LEE DORSEY: Four Corners * AMY, M-, 50.- Euro Banging New Orleans funk with breaks and everything to set a dancefloor on fire. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/leedorseyfourcorners.mp3 ELLA FITZGERALD: Ringo Beat * VERVE, made in Gemany, M-, 50.- Euro, on hold Sizzling hot R&B / Mod dancer arranged by Jazz guitarist Barney Kessel. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/ellafitzgeraldringobeat.mp3 LEE WILLIAMS & THE SYMBOLS: I'll Be Gone / I Love You More * CARNIVAL promo, M-, 50.- Euro, sold If the seven 45s Lee Williams recorded for Carnival would have been put together for an LP, it would have been a stone cold classic. Unfortunately you have to go with the 45s. These guys where masters in creating sweet harmony cuts and they knew how to write songs. Two great sides back to back on a shiny clean promo.

Published by Fania in New York for Harvey Averne's production team, but surely no latin vibes on this two sided gem. A great and underrated dancer and a mighty fine group harmony side by the mighty Topics, who recorded some of the most collectable 45s during the 60's and 70's. A proper soul record! soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicstryalittle.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/topicsallgoodthings.mp3 MIGHTY GENTS: Mighty Gents / Please Don't Take Your Lovin' From Me * MIGHTY GENTS RECORDS, VG++, mild warp, not affecting play, 35.- Euro, on hold Slick 1978 midtempo groove from the desk of Ron Dante.

"So Tied Up" co-written by Bill Brandon, is a deep slice of hurting slow soul, flip it over for a drug-related song, that makes you wonder, why Sam Dees never reached superstar status. Nobody could go deeper into the dark sides of the human nature then Mr. Dees. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/samdeessotiedup.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/samdeessigned.mp3 JOHN FOX: It's Up To You / Election Day, I'm Goin' Fishin' * CAPITOL, M-, slight warp not affecting play, 30.- Euro Overlooked and totally great midtempo Modern Soul from 1977 with a slick instrumental flipside with a superb synth bassline. soundfile 1: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/johnfoxitsuptoyou.mp3 soundfile 2: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/johnfoxelectionday.mp3 JOBELL & THE ORCHESTRA DESALSA: Never Gonna Let You Go * JAN, M-, 30.- Euro A perfect blend of latin and disco on this westcoast masterpiece from 1976. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/jobellnevergonnna.mp3 GLORIA TAYLOR: Grounded * SILVER FOX; promo, VG++, some label flaking, 30.- Euro, on hold Same song as Belita Woods on Moira and what a banging funky dancefloor bomb this is.

Her two 45s for Moira are rated highly by those in the know. For some reason her later outing for Epic records never recieved wider recognition. You ignore a jewel here; a midtempo groove produced to perfection by Barrett Strong topped by Mrs. Woods voice - a blistering, raw and soulful experience. So much talent for a discography that short. soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/belitawoodsijustlove.mp3 EDDIE BO: Hook And Sling * SCRAM, VG++ to M-, wol, 25.- Euro The daddy of a ll New Orleans break beat records.

It reminds me of 2001 Black Essence "Change My Life". I usually hdisklike gospel, but all the braindamaging "lord"- and "jesus"-lyrics are missing on this. Amen to that! soundfile: https://hamburgcitysoul.com/upload/relativesleavesomethin.mp3 MIKE JEMISON: I Want Some Satisfaction * GENEVA, M-, 20.- Euro Simply awesome Detroit 70's dancer in immaculate condition.

The promo copies with the Mono/Stereo sides of the sweet groupsoul winner "I Just Gotta..." are fairlly easy to pick up, but the issues have the DJ-side on it. Here we have a straight and tricky 70's groove with falsetto lead vocals and a pretty insane drum break.

Not easy to find, but they should have made a 12" out of this, soundquality is not the best due to the length of the song (almost 5 minutes) and it's pressed very narrow.

The vocals are by Charles Whitehead and no matter what side you put the needle on, you get the deepest most emotional soulmusic ever made.

This does not appear to be a test pressing of the Atco release as the catalogue numbers are different. My beleive is, that this a private press. Both songs sound like the Atco released recordings allthough the timing seems to be slightly different.
