The Romans - He Don’t Love You (MY) Mint- £150 **Sold** Virtually unknown garage soul rarity on this highly collectable label. Like most on the label this is a hard pull, very very few own a copy (check the numbers on Discogs and Popsike). A very recent addition to Fonsoul Bcn’s YouTube channel (see link below), so probably about to get some big plays! A future big ticket item IMHO and a chance to be one step ahead of the game. Garage is the new Northern. https://youtu.be/BI9W3fZdVEw 4th Generation - Take My Love/Walking On A Cloud (DeBrossard) Mint- £125 **Sold** Reluctant sale on this extremely rare double sider. Top side is a killer, virtually unknown funk edged northern bomb that has huge potential IMHO. Flip is another virtually unknown lowrider ballad. Like all of this labels output it’s tough to find and this is a lovely Mint- copy https://youtu.be/ssRISleYX3c https://youtu.be/0ms0Msh6o3k Glories - No News (Date WD) Ex £100 **Sold** Big demand on this from those in the know and very little availability. Last copy I had I could have sold five times over. This either is or is about to get some big plays and once it does it’ll go massive. Fabulous funk edged sister soul northern, with huge potential. A rare 45 too. https://youtu.be/a0cz8J57L3o PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £3.50 registered and insured, £2.10 standard first class, Europe £8.95 tracked and signed.

Jimmy Castor - It’s O.K (Jet Set) Vg+ (lower end of grade visually with a fair few light marks DNAP, plays strong Vg+ £300***SOLD*** Here’s a very rare opportunity to own a copy of this killer northern stormer and former Butch spin. Often thought to have debuted at Stafford but was actually just afterwards. Still got plenty of plays left in this one, still sounds right on the money and has minimal exposure due to rarity. Lots of significantly more common 45s selling for substantially more these days! Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/wL25_G6b2rQ PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Johnny Ross & The Peerless Four - One Life (BAL-CLAIR) Vg (some light crackle throughout mostly overpowered by recording, DM for sound clip from actual 45) £250 ***SOLD*** Seriously rare gospel sweet soul 45 that’s been a staple of Greg Belson’s slow and low sets for some years now. And causing quite a stir currently I believe so probably time for me to move my copy on. There are, as far as I am aware, no more than handful of copies of this knocking around. Only offered on here once (recently in Vg+ at $450), just twice on Discogs (with ‘owns’ recoding just the one copy) and only four copies have ever slipped through eBay. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/hirqwI7WrfI (N.B. YouTube clip for reference only, please DM for clip from actual 45 or listen on the following MixCloud at 36:30 https://m.mixcloud.com/infoyeye/soul-salad-38-with-guest-gary-pluck/?fbclid=IwAR3Wz1ybNAg6HE399zWdTjC4Dxza0lJuqxI3ZpI31uYfBsNmEYyejGQjAXQ Daytonians - Let God Work It Out (NOT ON LABEL) Vg- (notoriously noisy low-fi recording and this has lots of marks, no major ticks or clicks but crackle throughout, hence price. DM for clip from actual 45) £125 Another of Greg Belson’s discoveries I believe and what a 45 it is, private press and whilst not as rare as The Peerless Four it’s still almost impossible to find, the two through Discogs (yes just two) were only Vg and the YouTube videos are all noisy and I doubt a clean player will ever surface. Priced accordingly. https://youtu.be/3cgMgKOaimo (N.B. YouTube clip for reference only, the actual 45 can be heard on the following MixCloud at 48:23 https://m.mixcloud.com/infoyeye/soul-salad-38-with-guest-gary-pluck/?fbclid=IwAR3Wz1ybNAg6HE399zWdTjC4Dxza0lJuqxI3ZpI31uYfBsNmEYyejGQjAXQ) Sensational Aires - Nothing But The Love Of Jesus (Revelation) Vg (plays closer to Vg+ with minimal noise please DM for clip) £50 Another incredibly rare and sought after slab of gospel sweet soul with harmonies to die for. Once again a Greg Belson discovery as far I’m aware that has yet to reach a much wider audience. Not far off the rarity of the Johnny Ross 45 but a fraction of the price! https://youtu.be/dGsYjPqWh5g (N.B.

Thee Midniters - Never Going To Give You Up / Chicano Power (Whittier) Mint- (mark on ‘Power’ side that looks like a tear is actually pen of some kind, see image) £180 Did these guys make a bad record? Like so many of their 45s the price on this has gone through the roof in recent years, mostly down to US lowrider demand for their killer version of Jerry Butler’s ‘Never’. Do not ignore the fabulous Chicano garage soul dancer hidden on the flip, not a stranger to Jack White’s sets if memory serves me correctly and one that’s definitely got a big future.

Alice Thomas - I’m Coming Home (Odex) Vg++ £150 Much much rarer than it’s price tag suggests and have seen priced at more than double, no more than 10 copies through eBay in the last 15 years. A killer lowrider rarity that still under the radar of many even in the US. It’ll be a while before you see another. https://youtu.be/lrpu4cqLHzM Lyn Williams - Tears In My Eyes (Dade) Mint- (light label wear see image) £125 Could say much the same for this rarely offered Dade number. Very hard to find and what a 45, my favourite of the three here and would be keeping if it weren’t for trying to raise funds for a long term want. Probably should be close to £200. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/hsP86qy79x0 Jonesetts - Stop, Look And Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex £40 Gorgeous, rare and under the radar lowrider double sider. Few have caught onto this one as yet but it has a big future IMHO, hard to find and the couple of copies I’ve had have flown out.

Wallace Brothers - I Need Someone (Jewel) Mint- (some light label damage see image hence price) £45 **SOLD** Demand has seen the price on this rise and rise, it wasn’t long ago it was a tenner, last couple I’ve seen have been £60! Killler lowrider 45 that will likely rise further in the months ahead. Don’t let the label damage put you off either, vinyl is Mint- https://youtu.be/VhYb2nHU7z Jonesetts - Stop, Look And Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex £40 Gorgeous, rare and under the radar lowrider double sider.

The Jihad (Amiri Baraka & The Spirit House Movers) - Beautiful Black Women/Miss Natural Soul (Jihad Productions) Vg++/Ex OFFERS over £200 Socio-political spoken word/poetry (think lo-if Last Poets) with gorgeous male group harmony backing as ‘The Spirit House Movers’ deliver the refrain from Smokey Robinson’s ‘OOOH Baby, Baby’, almost a prototype of a musical genre that would not be seen for another decade. This 45 - and their very rare LP - are both culturally and socio-politically iconic and of course highly sought after. The LP was reissued in CD format some years ago and more information on Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones can be found by searching Google, a writer of poetry, drama and fiction who published a number of books and taught at several universities in the US). This is one of, if not the, best looking copy of this 45 I’ve ever seen. While all copies have a pressing fault that causes surface hiss, this one is clean with no audible ticks or clicks on either side. A very very rare 45 with something like 4 ‘owners’ listed on Discogs and only two copies ever sold there (one in G condition and one in Vg+ at £450+) making this a difficult 45 to price hence am taking offers over £200. I will close once it’s reached a price I’m happy with. Please note YouTube clips are NOT taken from the copy for sale, please contact me via DM if you would like clips of the actual 45. https://youtu.be/l7PZ8ZjUIFE https://youtu.be/FbiFSPnchnE PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Soul Connection - Why Am I Supposed To Cry (SoCon) Mint- £200 Stunning 70s lowrider 45 that is so very rarely offered for sale, a reluctant sale to fund other purchases, this one is super clean. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/iKSbXUWCcOY Alex Spearman - Stairway To Nowhere/All The Love You Got (Rosemont) Mint- £100 Genuinely rare double sider that’s pretty much completely under the radar. Top side is deep soul heaven that once the word is out will be highly sought after, flip is a relatively unknown dancer with bags of potential. Rarely offered for sale on any condition, this one looks unplayed! https://youtu.be/sSevxfsQKMU https://youtu.be/v6zhLAEnLr0 Jonesetts - Stop, Look And Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex £50 Gorgeous, rare and under the radar lowrider double sider.

Get now before it’s £100+. https://youtu.be/-2eq5m0AbRw https://youtu.be/ITfOV3-iA4M 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%.

Sentimentals - I Know You Too Well/It’s Here (Knap Town) strong Vg £200***SOLD*** Ridiculously rare, under the radar lowrider/crossover on the Indiana label that that provided the equally, if not rarer, Jazzie Cazzie and the Eight Sounds 45. The flip is a nice dancer too (although not on YouTube), recently sold at £265 in Vg+ and this copy ain’t far off. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/ebCGkx5aTWE Caprells with The Caprell Band - Deep Love/Hey Girl (Bano) Vg+ (some gentle crackle on intro on ‘Deep Love’) £100 Double sided dynamite that’s quadrupled in price over the last 12 months and for good reason. ‘Deep Love’ is a gorgeous slice of sweet group soul that’s long been in demand by US lowrider collectors. Flip it for group harmony crossover hea ven with bags of northern appeal, quite why this has never been massive is a mystery, but given recent interest it’s only a matter of time! https://youtu.be/ubHEDa8SUAk https://youtu.be/mcWKfAXw6Ts Ann Byers - Gotta Get You Back/This Man Is Rated X (Virtue) Ex £100 (sticker removal tear on flip label) Another double sider that’s seen a recent sharp increase in price with recent Discogs sales in the £150+ range! Likely driven by demand for the quality lowrider topside, whilst the flip is a funk edged dancer with bags of potential. With two quality sides appealing to two very different scenes this one’s a sound investment. https://youtu.be/v9alJfmOAKg https://youtu.be/2g3aI5sfY10 Little Man and The Inquires - What Good Is Loving You/Funky Breakdown (Cu-Wu) Mint- £75 Killer kiddie soul double hitter, that’s as rare as this Detroit based label suggests. Under the radar lowrider ballad on one side and a funk edged bomb on the flip that’s got two or three upfront DJs behind it currently. This won’t stay cheap for long! https://youtu.be/Zxgs7678Ubw https://youtu.be/LFpmOF-RLWI PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Interpretations - Here I Am In Georgia (Flaming Arrow) Mint- £75 Killer intro on a relatively unknown sweet soul group cut. Was a £150/£200 45 a few years ago when there were very few copies know, still a hard find in nice condition. https://youtu.be/pUND_rynVtk Ghetto Friendship - Build It Up, Tear It Down (Ghetto) Mint- £50 Funk meets sweet via psych! Another lesser known lowrider 45, crazy tempo changes and simply fabulous vocals. Seems pretty scarce too. (Note: surface noise on clip is present on all copies and is a pressing fault.) https://youtu.be/xk_0rtVb3Z4 Robert Taylor and Current Stock - Time Keeps Ticking By/Hot Lady (LuTall) Mint- £40***SOLD*** Another quality lowrider 45 that isn’t widely known and hence still cheap, for now. Flip as a bomb funk edged dancer that sounds bang on for now. Gonna rise in demand and value. https://youtu.be/li_De5UGxLg https://youtu.be/xAnC1dQ9ikw Dee Dee Joseph & David - Peace Of Mind/She’s Got Something (Free Soul Inc) Vg++ £20***SOLD*** Gorgeous kiddie soul double sider. ‘Peace’ was an old Bob Abraham tip, flip is a funky crossover tune- sold four of these this is my last copy. https://youtu.be/uz3NSyJLrkQ https://youtu.be/-0BYHg-78Nk PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

4th Generation - Take My Love/Walking On A Cloud (DeBrossard) Mint- £150 Reluctant sale on this extremely rare double sider. Top side is a killer, barely known funk edged group bomb that has huge potential IMHO. Flip is another virtually unknown group ballad. Like all of this labels output it’s tough to find and this is a lovely Mint- copy https://youtu.be/ssRISleYX3c https://youtu.be/0ms0Msh6o3k Bill Pinkney and The O.D.’s - Can You Forgive (If You Can’t Forget) (Game) Ex (note: this is a live recording and all copies have some sound distortion as a result) £100 Funk edged group soul that thanks to its rarity 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. https://youtu.be/hosSm6Vd0bU Rena Faye and Teddy Bear Co. - Thank You Baby / Do It (instrumental) (Melron) Mint- £50 Incredibly obscure funk edged double sider on the same label as the Fred Martin rarity that never shows. Probably as rare, had some exposure on the continent but will be unknown to most. One for the more adventurous and forward thinking DJs/collectors. https://youtu.be/_7F6fAC8NMM PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Brad Lundy - The Breaking Point (JULMAR) Ex £125 A rare opportunity to obtain a clean copy of this gorgeous Islands Soul 45. A Stafford monster that sounds as good today as it did back. Personally I’d forgotten just how good this sounds and whilst Deena Johnson’s version has its fans, for me, this is the superior version. Not a common 45 either especially in this condition! https://youtu.be/daS_EWI8ymw PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

NOW That’s What I Call Gospel Funk 10 Supreme Stars of Chicago, Ill. - I’m Going Home (HLF) Ex (couple of marks away from Mint-) £100 HOLD Not listed on Discogs, only one copy through eBay in 15 years (2018), no YouTube (clip below on my channel is from a previous copy which flew out) and the only other mention online is a Steve Clancy sales post on a FB listing about a year or so ago where he’d found two copies and bought both! Very, very rare opportunity to obtain this elusive and exclusive late ‘70s female led funky gospel banger. Clip for reference only (this is a copy I obtained around six months ago which flew out) https://youtu.be/xU5j_7zMSLI Clarence Haddon - Who Is This/There Has Never Been A Moment (Desiree) Vg+ £75 Former Paul Sadot spin, killer drums, infectious mid tempo funk edged gospel that’s both rare and very much under the radar. Flip is sublime gospel deepie that’s unknown to most (note: this side sticks right at the very end of the recording). https://youtu.be/d6cI7SJfQuQ https://youtu.be/62ibKrlbyZQ Salem Travelers - Give Liberty Or Death (Checker) Ex £25 ***SOLD**$ What can only be described as a classic of the genre now, one of the first and arguably still one of the very best gospel funk 45s to have wider appeal across the various scenes.

Yep very hard to come by, bidding at £300 currently

Sonny Jones - Stolen Moments (Scram) strong Vg (plays Vg+ sound file available on request) OFFERS OVER £250 Mega rare 45 that’s known to very, very few. Proper northern to a tee IMHO and hardly any copies of this have turned up. My post on Rare Soul Valuations (Facebook) has generated quite a bit of interest from collectors and DJs alike but no definitive valuation. As a result, and in light of the number of DM’s I’ve received from interested buyers it seems the most appropriate thing to do is auction it. So, auction will be open until Thursday 31st March 9pm, best offer via DM by this time wins. Starting bid £250. (YouTube link for reference only, sound file from actual 45 available on request.) https://youtu.be/bBA5pKdANrs

Soul Walkers - I'm Tired Of What People Say Or Do / Never Say You Don't Have It (Cardinal Avalon) Mint £45 Numero look-a-like reissue from some years ago. Killer crossover/lowrider double sider that’s almost impossible to find on original 45. Even this reissue is proving scarce now. Free Mind - After We’re Gone (Twin Town) Mint £20 Massive funk rarity Numero reissue from 2012, with original copies fetching some £3,000+ this is realistically the only way most are likely to own one these! A.J. Rowe - Smoke My Pipe (Cave) Mint £10 Limited apparently unofficial reissue from 2013 of this killer funk edged R&B banger. Stupidly rare on original 45, here for the price of a bag of fish and chips. PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Morris Dow & The Eastern Sound - Black Child / Night Rider (Dee Dee) Mint- £35 Jazz meets funk meets sweet soul and conjures up this irresistible crossover style 45, flip it for something a little more funky and uptempo (getting plays too by those in the know). Two cracking sides on a 45 that can only increase in value. https://youtu.be/CyTGtZ2iJs4 https://youtu.be/yzApfPag4yE Freddie Watson and The Restorers - It’s All Over / Unlucky Seven (Eloys) Ex £30 ***SOLD*** Heavenly lowrider deepie with full on female backing vocals, very much under the radar (for now). Again, flip is a funk edged banger that’s had some exposure via the more progressive DJs and venues and shares it’s backing track with Watson’s rarer‘ Together’ 45. https://youtu.be/f8SUJvfQ3dc https://youtu.be/LAAbPPlVFIE Reality- War / High Winds(Pink Elephant) Vg+ £25 ***SOLD*** Killer French only haunting deepie with a message that couldn’t be more pertinent if it tried.

Flip, well a full on funk instrumental that would set RSF type dance floors alight! https://youtu.be/s0qrBKOetvQ https://youtu.be/aWNnhRVbYgE Edwards Generation - Someone Like You (Ghetto) £25 Last but by no means least, the final copy I have of this early Edwards Generation kiddie soul lowrider killer.

Have only just seen, so very sorry to hear this. He was, as others have already said, a real gentleman and a lovely guy to deal with. Exchanged a number of emails with him talking records and of course his time with the Intentions. RIP Dennis

Johnson Brothers - All Of My Life (I Dreamed Of A Castle) (Your Town) Ex £100 ***SOLD*** A fairly recent c/up I believe for one or two of the more upfront DJs in the UK and Europe, a fabulous late 60s funky edged crossover that sounds bang on for now. Would be £150 in mint- and this is a couple of paper scuffs off that - a bargain! https://youtu.be/_CvsmktMkBM C.L. Blast - What Can I Do (United) Vg+£100 Another recent upfront, rare and underplayed room spin for those an ear for a killer. Still not quite reached the masses but it has everything to be a big tune once it does, quality funk edged northern to a tee! Not an easy find so sure to increase in value. Would be Ex but for a couple of faint clicks on run in which are overpowered once recording starts and disappear completely about 10 seconds in, DM for clip). https://youtu.be/3s_KDyvgTI0 Dee Dee Joseph and David - Peace Of Mind/She’s Got Something (Free Soul Inc.) Mint- £25 Almost completely unknown kiddie soul double sider. Top side is a gorgeous sweet soul group harmony ballad and a tip of the late, great Bob Abraham. Flip it for an unknown funky crossover dancer that sounds right for now.

NOW That’s What I Call Gospel Funk 9 Messiahs of Glory - Just A Little Talk With Jesus/How I Got Over (HOB) Ex (slight hiss on intro both sides which appears to be present on all copies, see YouTube link below) £75 Sensational, stripped back group harmony gospel that’s for all the ingredients to cross over to the wider northern scene. A big play for Greg Belson over the past 12 months or so and still not on YouTube (DM for a sound clip if you don’t know it). Flip is a fantastic piece of atmospheric deep gospel that makes this a must have double sider. Not an easy find either. https://youtu.be/38bmZssEDhs Supreme Travelers - Death Shakes Frame (Gospel Master) Ex £50 Banging gospel 45. Picked up a spare of this, my copy is going nowhere! Getting played by some big names including Neil Youdale, Greg Belson and Michele Coco. Going to be massive will be £100 by next year. https://youtu.be/aISlpr-SO9c Liz and her Gospelettes - Leaning On Jesus (Song Bird) Ex £40 Very, very scarce gospel funk with bags of potential.

Yet to crossover to the wider scene but has all the ingredients to go massive when it does. A hard pull so can one that is sure only to rise in value. https://youtu.be/QZra32h-MyU Cool Sounds - Where Do We Go From Here (America)/I’ll Take You Back (Warner Brothers) Ex (in birth sleeve) £75 Hard edged funky dancer with a message that’s sounds just right for now, flip is sublime early ‘70s lowrider group harmony that’s totally under the radar. Big future this 45 and a tough one to acquire. https://youtu.be/YU83zp07Csc https://youtu.be/g6z1sU2Fg0s Jimmy Lomax - Come On Home (Camille) Mint- £50 Semi-known funk edged northern that’s been bubbling under for some years. The Cab first issues are hard to find and usually fetch £100+, that said Camille copies ain’t common either! https://youtu.be/Gg4H8N6Bb_s PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Yes that’s it couldn’t for life of me remember what it was covered as, sure it was Butch that had it but memory clearly dodgy 🤣

Cruisers - Mink And Sable Mable/Picture Us (Gamble) Mint- £75 ***SOLD*** Fabulous crossover topside that’s been on the radar of those in the know for a few years now, flip is another gorgeous under the radar lowrider cut, that’s my preference on this one. One of the harder numbers on the label seen this go for £125 before now. https://youtu.be/jaoji3_x4NY https://youtu.be/3YncWXoLcBQ Eldees - Don’t Be Afraid To Love (Dynamics WD) Mint- £50***SOLD*** Horns and harmonies, it doesn’t get much better than that winning combination. Gorgeous Detroit lowrider 45 that’s still cheap (well under a hundred anyway), nor seen too many WD’s of this and this one looks brand new. Half list price. Be quick! https://youtu.be/wnmaEgADd2s Soft Tones - How Did I Lose/Any Street (Thereway) Mint- £40 Had a number of people after my last copy and that was nothing like this spotless condition copy! Fabulous lowrider double sider, both of these sides got Avco releases albeit on separate 45s but here they are back to back on their original and very scarce local release. https://youtu.be/ZIOXSKum0-U https://youtu.be/dyM2UR9oxEI PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
