Salem Travelers - Tell It Like It Is (Checker Sermons & Spirituals) Mint- £100 One of the earliest and still one of the very best slabs of gospel funk ever played. It sits comfortably alongside iconic and ground breaking 45s by The Holy Disciples, Swan Silvertones and Gospel Commanders. Hard to find these days, still very much in demand and sounds every bit as good as it did ten or so years ago. https://youtu.be/zfMLoNFixoo PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Hector Rivera and The Latin Renaissance - I Need You I Want You I Love You (4 Points) Mint- £150 ***SOLD*** I predict big things for this 45, still under the radar I think here in the U.K. but with big demand stateside it can only rise in value. For me Rivera’s finest outing s delightful lowrider ballad with a mesmerising almost hypnotic backing track. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/gAx9GCKWXII Smokey Brooks - Eternal (Now) Mint- £75 Stunning early ’70s lowrider ballad that will have its crossover fans especially those that like the slower side of the genre. Hard record to find and the cheapest on the net currently! https://youtu.be/Uxbbun9D6qk Alex Spearman - Stairway To Nowhere (Rosemont) Mint- £75 Rarer issue of this seemingly unknown dancer on this highly collectable and generally scarce label, why this has never received any real exposure is beyond me! But it’s the rare and sublime deep soul ‘Stairway’ on the flip that’s worth the asking price alone! https://youtu.be/hEJd_Tccrnc https://youtu.be/ZvLA0F5O55c Contrails - Someone (Diamond) Ex £35 And finally not to disappoint the group harmony fans, here’s a killer cheapie that I think is still relatively under the radar in the U.K. at least. A gorgeous blue-eyed ballad that sounds like £500 45. Doubt it’ll remain at under £50 for long though. https://youtu.be/xL8CwPwQhHY PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Kal’s Kids - Long Lonely Broken Hearted (Vernon) Strong Vg (clean and wear free labels, light surface marks and some light crackle mostly on intro cleaning up thereafter, full sound file requests by DM please) OFFERS Little introduction needed for what is arguably THE most sought after lowrider 45 of recent years. If you know it you will be aware of the sort of prices this 45 is changing hands for. It is a very very reluctant sale but need funds for a long term want , they come and they go. Condition as above plays strong Vg full clip and other images available via DM. I will close this when I receive an offer I deem acceptable.

The Group Called “Us” - Promise Me (Patty) Mint- £50 Killer slab of moody garage and apparently a one time c/up for Gary Spencer on the northern scene and something Keb has played before now. Still seems relatively unknown in most quarters but ‘sounds bang on for now’ 😉. Not an easy 45 to find either and with some exposure could easily double in value. https://youtu.be/8YaUaquTAds The Riddles - It’s One Thing To Say (Quill) Mint- £50 Listed a Mercury copy last week and I shit you not could’ve sold ten of ‘em, This one is going to be massive! Killer driving garage 45 with enormous northern potential for a DJ with some balls, had this one on repeat since it arrived, fu*king love it! Rarer first local release in near new condition! https://youtu.be/KJ0Iw1s1WZ0 The Chosen Few - Baby Don’t Do It (B.F.D.) Mint- £50 Already getting played by one or two of the better and more progressive DJs, driving garage soul dancer with killer drums. Not an easy one either, lovely copy, be quick! https://youtu.be/D-yZZPGSUwA The Mauds - You Make Me Feel So Bad (Mercury) Vg+ £35 Reliably informed this killer slab of garage soul has had plays in ‘90s and here and there since and yet has still to crossover to the wider northern scene. This honestly blew me away when I first heard it, garage soul at it’s very best and still cheap (well for now)!

The Entertainers - I Want Someone/Beg Me (Bowmar) Vg+ (slight label wear and a small sticker removal tear on one side see image) WAS £325 NOW £250 Surprisingly unsold last week and as I’m need of funds am offering this at a stupidly low price! A genuinely rare 45 that whilst it’s spent sometime at little more than £100 (selling mainly to northern collectors for ‘Beg Me’ a nice Stafford group version of the Chuck Jackson cut that I think was a Butch c/up?), it is once again though the lowrider flip that has driven the price up with its last eBay outing (more than two years ago!) hitting £383 for a G+ this one plays beautifully DM for a clip of both sides.

A very hard 45 to track down in any condition, this one looks beat but plays a decent Vg and might clean up nicely (DM for a clip from actual 45, YouTube for reference only). https://youtu.be/7VwqjWT6CJU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

The Cheaters - He’s Been Fooled (Jolo) Ex £300 Re-listed due to circumstances beyond the buyers control sadly. But another chance for someone to pick up this rare as rocking horse sh*t Chicano garage soul banger. One for those in the know, just the one 30 second clip on YouTube. A big big future for this one and a chance to be one step ahead of the rest. https://youtu.be/-PjY06-MSxA Alex Spearman - That’s The Way Love Is/Stairway To Nowhere (Rosemont) Mint- £100 Seemingly unknown dancer on this highly collectable and generally scarce label, ehh this has never received any real exposure is beyond me!

Boston Tea Party - Is It Love/Don’t Leave Me Alone (Fona) Vg++ £100 Double sided garage soul dynamite!

Swan Silvertones - If You Believe Your God Is Dead (HOB) Vg (looks rough but plays with light crackle mostly overpowered by recording, clears up around 30 seconds in and plays a good Vg+ thereafter - priced accordingly. DM for clip from actual 45.) £125 Gospel grail (pun intended), one of THE most in demand, and best, gospel funk 45s ever! No other real introduction necessary.

Tender Loving Care - Two Fools Are We/My World Is Falling (Renfro) Mint- £100 An absolute killer under the radar lowrider 45 that’s never been common but in the last year or two has disappeared completely. Flip is a nice crossover style 70s dancer, but it’s ‘Two Fools’ that will see the price rise, can see this being £250-£300 once word gets out. Will doubtless regret selling at this price! https://youtu.be/uiOVtNLEc6w https://youtu.be/7B76yS5P5Uo Shalong - Lady (Red Coach) Mint- £50 A week they say is a long time in politics and a month is bloody lifetime in record sales! Okay so it was few months ago I picked up a few of these bars on it being virtually unknown and an absolute killer, slightly ‘off the beat’ lowrider 45. At the time there were probably 14 copies on Discogs anywhere between £10-£20. All gone and it’s last sale was £40! Anecdotally heard someone bought all six copies John Manship had. A future £100+ 45 without a doubt (oh and remember demos are double sided mono/stereo and don’t include this cut. Judge for yourself… https://youtu.be/dMGEwG2ZEtk E.G. Taylor and the Sounds of Soul - Pick Yourself Up/You Made Me Mad (Val) Mint- £40 Double sided dynamite, topside is yet another under the radar lowrider cut that’s as good as anything you’ll hear for double the price, flip it for some relatively unknown storming northern worthy of some exposure. https://youtu.be/Gd6zTHlRmRE https://youtu.be/WghkNG6ISsE PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

The Steelers - Just Beginning To Love You/ Crying Bitter Tears (Crash) Mint- (WOL tiny red tick mark on A side) £250 Reluctant sake of arguably one of the very best Chicago group harmony double siders and one that is very rarely offered for sale. ‘Just Beginning’ has long been a northern favourite of mine coupled with the sublime lowrider flip (which will set you back a good £150 on Glow Star these days despite the missing northern flip). A blemish free copy too aside from the tiniest of ticks on the label. A stunner. https://youtu.be/tnVBTR4spZU https://youtu.be/7eVJIM-NK9Q PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Apologies will do

Interesting, looks like my copy is going back to the US, out of interest what was in the trade?

Scooba Dellard and The Motions - ‘Human’ c/up Mint- £250 Funk edged kiddie soul rarity currently being played c/up by Brain Maguire. A seriously rare 45 with, as far as I am aware, only 3 other known copies: Brian’s and two copies with Michael Robinson in the US (one of which I believe went recently to a U.K. collector/DJ for around $300). A chance to own a relatively exclusive current upfront spin and certainly a very rare 45 that’s bang on for now. https://youtu.be/dk8rJBc4nUU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Notoriously tough to find in anything above Vg and despite a couple marks, this copy plays strong Vg+. Flip it for a gorgeous lowrider cut that’s under the radar even with most collectors across the pond. Should be nearer to £500 this but in need of funds so quick sale required. Don’t sleep!

Shaddows - Together Again/Stormy Wrather (Unit Audio) Vg+/Vg (WOL see images) £400 Phenomenally rare garage soul 45 so very rarely offered. Topside is still relatively unknown largely thanks to rarity and, despite a couple marks, plays strong Vg+ unlike the majority of the small number of copies out there.

Jim Manns & The Blackmailers - Messing With The Kid/Rap On (Mel Records) Ex £100 Killer two sided funk edged R&B that is rarely offered for sale. Had some exposure by the more progressive and upfront DJs but yet to reach a wider audience. One for the future because it sounds bang on for now. Hard one. https://youtu.be/lRfeofnFThc https://youtu.be/WeHF4AYwygs Ola V. Harper - I Wanna Weep/Resisting (Jewel) Ex (WOL see image) £40 Double sided bomb! ‘Weep’ has had a fair bit of exposure on the continent I believe and rightfully so, but the flip still seems under the radar and it’s just as good if not the better of the two. Two cracking funk edged slabs of Rhythm and Soul for, in this day an age, pennies. https://youtu.be/TIpbTXDWfY4 https://youtu.be/3Xr0YBsPoaM Agee and V. Smith - Boy And Girl Thing (Solid Soul) Mint- £25 Funk edged R&B from the ‘Losing Again’ man. Seems virtually unknown and pretty damn rare looking at Discogs and Popsike! Like so many of Agee’s 45s this really has something, rare, unknown and quality for next to nothing in today’s market! https://youtu.be/9nCkDnVtQ5o Rena Faye and Teddy Bear Co. - Thank You Baby / Do It (instrumental) (Melron) Mint- £20 Incredibly obscure funk edged double sider on the same label as the Fred Martin rarity that never shows.

The Trells Music by: The Soulful Saxons - Bad Weather/I’m Sorry (Port City) Mint- £60 Superb moody atmospheric lowrider 45 that remains very much under the radar (for now). Flip it for a funky slab of garage soul that sounds bang on for now and seems pretty much unknown outside of serious collector circles. One to watch. https://youtu.be/YoLTEzY-fZY https://youtu.be/9QFBjbdVYMY N Group - Words Of Love/Keep On Running (WesMar) Mint- (XOL) £50 My favourite of the three, this is my spare. Virtually unknown killer lowrider 45, my last copy went to a well known DJ in the States and once this atmospheric slab of moody garage soul gets exposure it’s price is going one way only. Flip it for a ripe for revival almost unknown former Stafford c/up, sounds bang on for now. Garage is the new Northern! https://youtu.be/uiZHPSvBiDQ https://youtu.be/jY-uUI4FgfA Escorts - I Love You But You Don’t Know Me /S.O.S. (Heart In Distress) (Date WD) Ex (some water damage to labels [see images]) £35 Killer blue eyed lowrider 45 that’s still under the radar, notoriously hard to find in decent condition and label apart this one is clean. Flip it for a mid tempo northern builder. A classy slab of double sided garage soul, that should be more like 50 quid. https://youtu.be/r7WwJvl0-bM https://youtu.be/9lNgi9ro7EE PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Lee Williams & The Cymbals - I Love You More/I’ll Be Gone (Carnival) Vg++ (WOL biro on ‘Love You’ side see image) £75 Arguably the finest double sider of Carnival’s incredible output and for me Lee Williams’ finest 45. Two glorious sides of group harmony lowrider excellence that has seen this one time cheapie rise and rise in value. Pick a side? If I have to it’d be ‘Gone’. Hard to find in decent shape and biro on one label apart this is a lovely copy. You’ll regret it if you miss it! https://youtu.be/xrYmZ-V1CiQ https://youtu.be/7WifccBPDNQ Gifts - Lovin’ You (Ballad) Mint- £40 Another on the up and up! There were multiple copies of this knocking around at £10-£20 a pop a year or two ago, but like so many others this has quickly doubled in price and for good reason. A killer slice of sweet group harmony soul for what is after all still less than 50 quid. A sound investment as can see this going all the way to a ton. https://youtu.be/NHD9AWGaRA8 Sensational Aires - Nothing But The Love Of Jesus (Revelation) Vg (plays closer to Vg+ with minimal noise) £35 Incredibly rare and sought after slab of gospel sweet soul with harmonies to die for. A Greg Belson discovery as far I’m aware that has yet to reach a wider audience. Not too many of these knocking around so a bargain in all honesty! https://youtu.be/dGsYjPqWh5g Edwards Generation - Someone Like You (Ghetto) Mint- £25 Had two copies of this a month or so back and they flew out, this is my last copy so be quick. Killer sweet soul that appears to be completely under the radar. Their first recording (as far as I’m aware) and it’s a bomb. Another that’s still cheap … for now. https://youtu.be/ygE9qV74sWA PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

London And The Bridges - Keep Him (Date) Vg++ (official distribution sticker on reverse label) £100 Infectious garage soul stormer that shows up so very rarely. If memory serves me correctly a long forgotten Keb Darge c/up from many years ago. Sounds perfect for now. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/zzBNyYsBrpQ Escorts - S.O.S. (Heart In Distress)/I Love You But You Don’t Know Me (Date WD) Ex (some water damage to labels [see images] and tiny edge chip DNAP) £50 Gorgeous garage soul double sider, that is so hard to find in decent shape on either of its releases.

Vamp - Free And Easy (Mar-Vel) Mint- £40 Killer alert! Virtually unknown organ led funk edged crossover that is so so good. Seems to have been completely ignored until some recent spins from the likes of Brian Maguire and other more forward thinking DJs. One that should and will be massive. IMPORTANT, this is the rarer and far superior in sound quality ‘long’ version. https://youtu.be/B9smy3P6BZQ Faithful Wonders - Ol’ John (Behold Thy Mother) (Checker) Mint- £50 Notoriously hard to find in anything but beat condition, here’s a Mint- still in its birth sleeve! Yet another Monk Higgins produced, floor-shaking gospel bomb. Had some plays late ‘80s curtesy of Guy Hennigan and more recently in Europe, but still not recognised by the wider soul fraternity. Plenty of mileage in this one and still (relatively) cheap (for now). https://youtu.be/R4NX4gIThPU R. Agee and V.

Poplar Springs United Male Chorus - Giving Your Time (Church Door) Vg- (clip from actual 45) £75 Unknown(?), nothing on YouTube and only a handful through Discogs/eBay and nothing on FB! Ridiculously rare gospel funk banger. Not the cleanest but given there are so few copies of this it might still be a one off chance to own one!

Probably the least known of the Leaders outings on VIV all of which are stupidly rare with the other two in the play boxes of only a few top DJs (‘My Rock’ is one of Brian Maguire’s current plays and the elusive ‘Trouble’ was an Aaron Bushman play I think initially). Not the prettiest but plays well, not on YouTube, clip below from actual 45. https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share/XPCHL0tY7YFzjsle4I7HCa0kGDK68p7CzbLsKzEgVYG PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Bill Pinkney and The O.D.’s - Can You Forgive (If You Can’t Forget) (Game) Ex (note: this is a live recording) £75 **Sold** Amazed that this funk edged beach soul rarity details didn’t sell last time out. Seems barely known, in fact up until a few weeks ago it wasn’t on YouTube. Just two through Discogs and eBay results according to Popsike show fewer than 10 appearances over the last 15 years with the best copy hitting £270+ some four or five years ago.

Monique - Nobody’s Baby (Maurci) Vg or better please. DM condition and price. Thanks

The Delwands - This Time (I’m Gonna Win)/Marsha & The Delwands - No Hope, No Faith (Zudan) Vg++/Ex (a couple of superficial marks only away from Mint- £175 Arguably one of the most in demand 45s of lowrider origins to have crossed over, a stunning slab of sweet with a beat that I was championing some 12 or more years ago. Added bonus of so underplayed and highly underrated northern dancer. Hard to find these days especially in clean condition. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/-e7LN191fpU https://youtu.be/5Ro_I_HlXfI Houston Outlaws - It’s No Fun Being Alone (Westbound) Vg++ £75 (N.B. If buying for the funk edged flip please be aware this side grades G+, plays through but with a fair few ticks and clicks mostly overpowered by recording) Just enough beat here I think to take this in demand lowrider cut into crossover territory. Not widely known and actually very very hard to find. ‘No Fun’ plays beautifully but the funk edged flip is pretty wrecked, hence price or it would be double. https://youtu.be/M8tG9iSK_Bc Top Shelf - Let Them Keep On Talking/Stop And Listen (Open Your Heart) (Spectrum) Mint- £60 For me the better of their two Spectrum 45s, both of which are increasingly in demand. Gorgeous lowrider top side with a terrific lesser known crossover dancer on the flip. Hard to find in clean condition and still relatively cheap. One with lots of potential to rise in value. https://youtu.be/1HVFlQldq1w https://youtu.be/hFhPhhZBi4Y PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
