Baby Love - Do It For Me/Your Love Is Real (Dud Sound) Vg+ £225 Bomb! Very, very reluctant sale this one, still under the radar and very hard to find, Pretty sure Gilly has been playing this in his Soho Soul Sunday spots - the price of this is going to soar once the word is out. Flip is a brilliant hard edged, funky group dancer that is bang on for now. It’ll be a while before you see another copy- don’t sleep on this one. https://youtu.be/uIj5q-iRPUU https://youtu.be/2E-gxhqg7N8 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Nat Brown - If This Is What You Want Go Ahead/Before And After (Selma) Vg++ (a couple of small marks (DNAP) away from being Mint-) £350 A once in a blue moon opportunity to buy this incredible double sider at a set sale price. Little more than a handful of these have gone through Discogs and eBay in the last ten years or so, making it an established very, very rare 45. Topside is a killer, haunting lowrider grail for which demand is immense. Flip it for an under the radar funk edged bomb that is known (by those who know) as both scarce and with heaps of potential as it’s absolutely bang on for now (had some plays in Europe and here in the UK by the likes of Jordi Ripolles). A record that , given existing and ever growing demand from lowrider collectors and the enormous potential of its flip, can only go up and up in value. https://youtu.be/OJbDPvWnW0g https://youtu.be/jLDvpj_n-hs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Revlons - (Oh Oh Oh) What A Love This Is/Did I Make A Mistake (Toy) Mint- £125 Last copy of this I had flew out and it’s no surprise with two top drawer sides back to back. What A Love is of course Pat Brady’s old Masqueraders c/up from the early ‘80s, a fantastic dancer that’s never really had its day. Flip is a sublime under the radar lowrider group harmony cut that will rise and rise in value. Much much rarer than it’s going rate indicates, a genuinely tough 45 to obtain. https://youtu.be/hQuW3JWJVSA https://youtu.be/pUaO7b9MwqY Performers - I Can’t Stop You (Mirwood) Ex £60 Funk edged group dancer that’s been growing in reputation and demand in recent years. One click of the sound bite will tell you why, a storming dancer that sounds just right for now. Lovely black (rarer than blue?) stock copy, £100 on one well known dealer’s site and this is much better condition if the sound file is anything to go by so a bargain. https://youtu.be/bqDzkMZj_5k Fidelics - I Love You Baby/Lovers In The Park (Rising-Soul) Mint- £60 Double sided dynamite. Lovers In The Park is a sublime lowrider cut that a quick YouTube search will reveal as one revered by many of the top collectors and DJs on that scene. But the flip, an infectious group harmony dancer that wouldn’t have sounded out of place at Stafford, is clearly less well known. Not an easy 45 to pull either. https://youtu.be/iDZ5kS9TL_Y https://youtu.be/EsrvZ2YBrLY PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Dorando - Didn’t I (Music City) Mint- £90 Hold Massively in demand 45 that has crossed over to a much wider audience, revered by the lower crowd, funk collectors and the crossover scene. A stunning 45 in lovely condition only selling because I realised I already had one after snapping this copy up. Seen for sale at way over £100 too in recent past. https://youtu.be/Ka-kTTcUACM E.G. Taylor and The Sounds of Soul - Pick Yourself Up/ You Made Me Mad (Val) Mint- £50 Sold Under the radar yet stunning lowrider topside and one to watch with bags of potential. Flip it for an under the radar northern dancer with plenty of legs in it. A 45 that can only really go up in value. https://youtu.be/Gd6zTHlRmRE https://youtu.be/WghkNG6ISsE Eight Minutes - Will You Still Be Mine/Here’s Some Dances (Jay-Pee) Mint- £35 Under the radar kiddie soul double hitter that quite honestly has huge potential. Top side is a yet to be discovered (over here at least) classy lowrider 45. Flip it for a cracking funk edged dancer that’s had some spins thanks to one or two of the Rhythm, Soul and Funk DJs who are consistently pushing the boundaries and discovering quality new sounds. This 45 is notoriously hard to find in decent condition, this copy is flawless. https://youtu.be/Th2XTiHJt-4 https://youtu.be/TxMb4t59-I8 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Desires – Baby We Can Make It/Smile (Tamboo) strong Vg (plays above grade listen below) WOL (see image) £250 A very, very rare opportunity to acquire a relatively exclusive, virtually unknown 45. A gritty, hard edged, chugging mid-tempo group harmony side with HUGE potential. NOT on YouTube (until today and my clip will be removed once sold) with only a handful of copies changing hands on eBay, Discogs and from what I can find privately on FB/Soul Source so arguably the rarest on this fabulous label. The same Desires that recorded the hugely in-demand Oh What A Lonely Night’/Black Girl on Starville. Flip is another quality mid-tempo group sound but why ‘Baby’ this isn’t massive is beyond me, only rarity and obscurity can have held it back. Another copy won’t be along for some time, don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/Nl7bI_jx05Q https://youtu.be/0pUpWS4YuZU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Jackie Day/Larry Banks & Jaibi– Get To Steppin'/My Life Is No Better (Kent 100 Club 30th Anniversary Special) Mint- £75 No introduction necessary really! 100 Club 30th Anniversary Special the first, and very limited, press of Jackie Day’s previously unreleased pounder ‘Get To Steppin’. B/W another cracking previously unissued dancer from Larry Banks and Jaibi. Lovely clean copy and possibly the cheapest one out there, all over a ton on Discogs currently.

Exciters - Cleo Is Back (Loyola) strong Vg, plays Vg+ £150 Panamanian fire. Killer funk edged Latin 45 that is very, very hard to find in any condition let alone a clean playing copy like this one. Sounds absolutely spot on for now. Some mild label wear/damage (see image) and light marks but plays strong Vg+. https://youtu.be/Gk9FlBKI0Uo Jubilee Hummingbirds - Same Thing It Took (Messenger) Mint- £40 Infectious funky gospel soul that’s got one or two big name upfront DJs behind it, a Greg Belson discovery that has plenty of potential to cross over. One click of the sound clip and you’ll hear exactly why. https://youtu.be/Dn53euSDM-E “Little” Jimmy Ballard - Guilty (Of Love In The First Degree)/Sophisticated Walk (ABC) Ex £50 Double sided funk edged dynamite. ‘Guilty’ has been on a few playlists in recent times thanks to the likes of Mark White and other more progressive DJs and sounds bang on for now. Flip it for another chugging gritty mid-tempo dancer that has as much potential as the top side. Still cheap but not a common record by any means. https://youtu.be/wuOul3JEljM https://youtu.be/ujGgPDlSvR8 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Florida Spiritualaires - I Remember When (Ernie’s) strong Vg £175 Sold Borderline Vg+ there is a bit static and the odd light pop here and there mostly on intro before the recording pretty much takes over (sound clip from actual copy below). A copy that sounded about the same went through eBay last year at nearly £300, so this is arguably a bargain! Demand for this gorgeous gospel lowrider/crossover 45 has been growing and growing in recent years pretty much all the copies have disappeared into collections now. This will fly out at this price. https://youtu.be/2eq9fVPs4_4 Lovelles - Pretending Dear (Atco) Vg (small nick/crack on run in DNAP, see image) £80 Listen to a clip from actual 45 below. Another bargain, easy £150 in decent nick. Sadly, this has a tiny edge crack on run it (DNAP) and a few marks that cause the odd light tick and pop during the first few seconds before it evens out into a nice Vg+. Fabulous lowrider 45 with huge potential that’s yet to be realised this side of the Atlantic. Half price https://youtu.be/d_72aSaFsW8 Ferris Fitzgerald - Got To Find My Baby (Impact) Vg- £50 Stupidly rare and massively in demand Jamaican sweet soul lowrider 45. Not the best looking copy in the world and it does have some significant ticks and pops at the start, priced accordingly (listen to a clip from actual 45 below). Not one that ever shows in decent condition, like so many of the Jamaican presses they look like they’ve been used as frisbees! A quarter of the price it should be! https://youtu.be/ajXSepAZ6Rg PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Ex Saveyons - Where Do I Go From Here/Running Wild Ex £150 With George Blackwell and Robert Banks on the credits your pretty much guaranteed quality. Top side is another example of group harmony lowrider brilliance, flip it for a marvellous piece of funky crossover that’s been on the better playlists for some years now with demand at its highest. Gorgeous copy. https://youtu.be/GuRUfVXFPZc https://youtu.be/3RqZ4oXedhA Cashmeres - Summertime/You Send Me (Rubbertown) Mint- £80 Sold Yes it’s that ‘Summertime’ a jazz standard but unlike you’ve ever heard before! Words cannot do this justice just have a listen. Both sides have been gaining interest on the lowrider circuit recently and rightly so. Was picked up and re-issued as Don McClain and The Electrifying Cashmeres on Sound Stage Seven which is scarce on both issue and demo but this local Ohio release on Rubbertown is proper rare like everything else on the label. I’m probably making a massive mistake selling this for under a ton. https://youtu.be/XVQDO9bb-qo https://youtu.be/6TwNKjJ5ggo Eight Minutes - Will You Still Be Mine/Here’s Some Dances (Jay-Pee) Mint- £50 Under the radar kiddie soul double hitter that is quite honestly has huge potential. Top side is a yet to be discovered (over here at least) classy piece of sweet with a beat that will turn a few heads stateside as well as here. Flip it for a cracking funk edged dancer that’s had some spins thanks to one or two of the Rhythm, Soul and Funk DJs who are consistently pushing the boundaries and discovering quality new sounds.

Ballad’s - I Can’t See Your Love (Wee) Vg++ £300 An actual copy of the ‘impossible to find 988 42nd Street, Oakland addressed local issue’ not my words, but those of none other than John Manship when he auctioned the ‘Bunky’s Pick’ Chicago addressed variant around 7 or 8 years ago. Since then this Cali vocal group stormer has risen in demand and price with VJ copies regularly changing hands for £250 +.

Glories - No News (Date WD) Mint- £60 How is this not massive? Rarity? It isn’t a common record by any means. Whatever the answer one thing’s for sure, this is a bomb. Just starting to get plays thanks to Paul Vine. Storming funk edged girl group dancer that will be a future big ticket item. https://youtu.be/a0cz8J57L3o Supreme Travelers - Death Shakes Frame (Gospel Master) Mint- £50 Still not made it to the masses but when it does it’ll be a three figure record. A Greg Belson and Michelle Coco spin that’s as good as any of the big ticket gospel funk 45s. Hard one too as pretty much all copies dried up after I listed my last copy! https://youtu.be/aISlpr-SO9c The New Philharmonic Rhythm and Blues Expansion - Yesterday’s Dream (Raynard) Ex £30 Wins the award for the longest group name ever!

Lloyd Williams - I’m Still In Love With You (Supreme w/lbl) Vg++ £150 Jamaican white label press of this killer lowrider/crossover/Carib soul in demander. Presumably released prior to the Studio One release and like the black/silver and blue/white variants this is the no strings (and for my money better) take. Stupidly rare in this format, especially in clean condition (like most JA presses they are mostly wrecked), this one is Vg++ and plays beautifully (sound file from actual record below). https://youtu.be/xBM-4JNJ1i8 PayPal as friends and family or add 5%.

Del Capris - Our Love (Silver Dollar) Vg+ (couple light clicks on intro to ‘Our Love’ sound file on YouTube channel) £200 Sold Under the radar mega rarity lowrider (0 ownership on Discogs and only sold once, one copy available from Moerer at £375) and what an absolute beauty, killer early 70s group harmony ballad one side, flip it and you have a funk edged bomb that has yet to be discovered- perfect for the more progressive, upfront DJs and collectors. This won’t hang around, don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/6p_IzzUA7Oo https://youtu.be/_SlAjKu8qYA Ex Saveyons - Where Do I Go From Here/Running Wild Ex £150 Double sided dynamite!

Shades of Sound - Dear Baby (Stone Lady) Vg++ (a few light marks only, some tape residue on label see image) £120 Sold Monster rare, under the radar, funky edged banger that’s had some exposure in Europe thanks to Andreas Beraha and is finally getting some action thanks to some of the more forward thinking DJs and events in the UK (Rhythm, Soul & Funk for one). Fewer than 10 copies have gone through eBay and Discogs and my last copy flew out at £150 (this is slightly cheaper due to tape residue on label and slightly lower grade vinyl, but plays as well as the last one). Rarity alone should make this a £300 record and once word gets out price can only rise. https://youtu.be/dy-ejlXCPsg Tony Owens - I’ll Be There/Wishing, Hoping, Waiting (Soulin’) Ex WOL (see image) £150 Double sided dynamite and his best by a country mile. ‘Wishing’ is a simply stunning lower ballad that just oozes class and is quite rightly in high demand stateside. Flip it for under the radar, underplayed in your face, aggro soul that’s been getting plays thanks to Samuel Hugosson. These don’t come to market often and even more rarely in nice clean condition like this one, a tiny piece of biro on label being it’s only blemish (why do so many of these have the biro on label?). https://youtu.be/27RtThNTPYU https://youtu.be/Xmhqp4Fg72w PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Lovations - (I Keep Singing) La La La Ooh/Heaven Told Me So (Part 111) Vg+ (tiny SOL see image) £350 Currently one of THE hottest lowrider 45s with demand from all corners of the globe and rightly so. Double sided dynamite, top drawer, hypnotic, lowrider one side, flip it for a slab of classy girl group northern with plenty of mileage left in it. So, so hard to find now and the price has been rising in leaps and bounds and shows no sign of slowing down. My last copy flew out at £350 doubt if it’ll be seen at under £400 again.

Vonciel Myers with The Gaynote Band and Chorus - It Won’t Be Easy (Gaynote) Mint- £325 Wow! Stunning copy of this long term rarity - booked at £600 some years ago but a few have surfaced since then; however, do not let that fool you it is still a very rare 45 (think Clara Hardy/Betty Loyd etc. lots of copies at one time all now in collections and prices almost where they were at height of demand/rarity). Last three on Discogs went £350 each and demand is increasingly now from across the pond with the lowrider collectors - expect the value on this to rise steeply. Don’t sleep! You won’t see another in this condition for under £350 any time soon. https://youtu.be/S5tbbBXNXzo PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Tony Owens - Wishing, Waiting, Hoping/I’ll Be There (Soulin’) Ex WOL (see image) £200 Double sided dynamite and his best by a country mile. ‘Wishing’ is a simply stunning lower ballad that just oozes class and is quite rightly in high demand stateside. Flip it for under the radar, underplayed in your face, aggro soul that really should be a monster (had some plays in Europe and I think Ted Massey plays this out from time to time). These don’t come to market often and even more rarely in nice clean condition like this one, a tiny piece of biro on label being it’s only blemish (why do so many of these have the biro on label?). https://youtu.be/27RtThNTPYU https://youtu.be/Xmhqp4Fg72w Milton Floyd - I’m A Shadow/Anyway I Can (RIM) Ex WOL (see image) £150 Much like the above with two incredible sides that will appeal to different scenes/collectors. ‘Shadow’ is a monster sweet soul spin on the lower circuit and prices have been rising on this significantly in recent years due to increasing demand.

The Steelers - Crying Bitter Tears (Glow Star) Ex £150 Chicago group harmony heaven. A lowrider gem that is still under the radar by comparison to many others but is easily as good as any of the current in demanders and significantly rarer. First issue before being picked up by Al Benson’s Crash label as the flip to their northern monster ‘Just Beginning To Love You’. Notoriously hard to find in decent condition, this one is close to mint- with clean and shiny labels! https://youtu.be/1D4a1S4SR-A The Desires - Oh What A Lonely Night / Black Girl (Starville) Mint- £100 Flawless copy of this gorgeous double sided in demander.

Rosie Lopez - I’ll Never Grow Tired/ Too Hot To Hold (Pulsar WD) WOL (name in ink see image) Ex £225 Double sided sister soul dynamite! Top side is a massive lowrider in demander that is so rarely offered for sale (check it’s Discogs entry: Have 26; Want 648). Still under the radar in the UK (?) what price when collectors here cotton on to one or both sides? ‘Too Hot’ is funky edged dancer from the prolific pen of Simpson, Ashford and Armstead, a stamp of quality that lives up to and exceeds expectations, sounds bang on for now and is still under the radar.

Lou Etta Terry Singers of Buffalo New York - Who Do You Turn To (Designer) Mint- £200 Sold From the highly collectable and prolific, albeit scarce, Designer label out of Memphis comes this fabulous dance floor destroyer. Lo-fi, funky edged gospel soul that’s been a popular play for some of Europe’s finest in recent years. Was a £400 record at one point and although it’s price has dropped it remains a very hard to find 45. https://youtu.be/0ZiNE25bw1g Shades of Sound - Dear Baby (Stone Lady) Mint- £150 Monster rare, under the radar, funky edged banger that’s had some exposure in Europe and is finally getting some action thanks to some of the more forward thinking DJs in the UK. Fewer than 10 copies have gone through eBay and Discogs and none to my knowledge in this sort of condition, it’s still in its company birth sleeve!

Victory Travelers - I’ve Been Changed (Courtn’) Mint- £80 Sold Gospel funk bomb out of Gene Cash’s stable. Comped on one of the Numero LPs but still seems relatively unknown. Should be massive, killer drums, heavenly (sorry) harmonies and one of the grittiest leads ever. In yer face, upfront, funky gospel soul that is bang on for now. https://youtu.be/rtPJ4rjL62g Pendulum Swingers - Never Should Have Loved You Baby (Pendulum) Vg+ (lots of hairlines but plays well, sound clip below) £35 Something of a collectors 45 this one and highly regarded (was a Butch tip I believe some years ago).

Issued twice (and both are like hen’s teeth) once with an uptempo flip and once with this sublime, and barely known, festive dagger.

Dynamic Imperious - Eyes On The Prize (Walker’s Echo) £120 Sold Jesus (no pun intended) what a bomb! Getting some turntable action from some of the more enlightened (sorry I can’t stop myself now) DJs at Rhythm Soul & Funk and others. Not an easy pull at all and this one is mint! Will be massive. https://youtu.be/0nnJ1UIPSQY Sim-Aires - Then I’ll Be Free (Song Bird) Ex WOL (see image) £100 Deep with a beat gospel group harmony that’s still under the radar. Hard one on the label too especially in this type of clean condition, some Vg copies knocking around from US dealers at £150. Only the one YouTube link so still not widely known but what a 45! https://youtu.be/Pgk8yzLbVdk Inspirational Souls - Jesus Is Going Away (Crusade) Mint- £50 Could’ve sold my last copy five times over and there were some big names hitting my inbox. Late ‘70s funky gospel modern already being played by the likes of Greg Belson and Michele Coco. Has everything needed to go big IMHO, cheap at the moment while still under the radar but then weren’t they all? https://youtu.be/ye5HF9wxloQ PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Sophisticates- I Need You/I Can’t Stand It (Mutt) Mint- £400 Sold Big ticket lowrider grail with demand way outstripping supply has seen the price go crazy over the last couple of years. Last two mint copies in Discogs went at £425 then £450 and the last eBay copy I saw was carolinasoul’s a few months ago and that reached over £500! Double sided dynamite with its classic northern flip. Stunning copy, don’t sleep on this one. https://youtu.be/Lq_-cNe-AMU https://youtu.be/kLZcRFy4zfk J’s - Hard Cold World (Giant Step) Mint- £200 Sold Virtually unknown on both sides of the Atlantic, stunning group harmony 45 that is very, very rare. Can’t find any sales on Popsike, Discogs has seen only two copies sold and has one currently in Vg from Craig Moerer at £150, it’s only YouTube presence is the clip below and the only collector I know with a copy is Richard Gilbert. This is a stunning mint- copy, an opportunity to own an (almost) exclusive piece of group harmony heaven. https://youtu.be/40CSrxe_Iqg Wilton Crump - Give Your Live To Me (Olive Branch) Mint- £75 Gorgeous mud 70s sweet soul that’s still somewhat under the radar on this side of the Atlantic but highly sought after in the US amongst the lowrider crowd. Not an easy pull either especially in this condition, - clean labels, clean vinyl a beauty. https://youtu.be/7G0FIGBFwrw PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
