Tokays - Baby, Baby, Baby (Brute) Vg+ £400 As part of his deal with Chess Records, Tony Clarke was given funding to start his own label, this is first release on his shot-lived Brute label out of Detroit. It is arguably one of if not the finest pieces of Detroit group harmony soul. Price has been rising sharply for some time, there are no copies in the wild and the few that are around are safely tucked away into the collections of those who treasure big ticket rarities of genuine quality. This copy is Vg+ and plays clean, cue burn on intro (listen to clip below from actual record), label shows slight wear but is clear of any writing, has some peel damage to outer edges (see image below). A once in a blue moon opportunity to obtain a northern grail item. https://youtu.be/tmaKp9rtcDA PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Barons - I’ve Got A Feeling (Etah) Ex £150 Funky edged group dancer out of New Orleans. A forgotten Stafford c/up for Guy (I think?) that’s had Lifeline plays in more recent times. Rarely offered for sale with only a handful going through eBay (5) and just one through Discogs, price tag is deceptive should be well over £200 based on scarcity alone. Never really had its day and sounds bang on for now. https://youtu.be/qVf29y4i76o PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured, Europe £8.95 tracked and signed.

Betty Lavette - What Condition My Condition Is In (Karen) strong Vg+ £100 SOLD One of THE biggest funky edged in demanders of the past decade or so. Hard to source these days with the level of demand., nice copy. https://youtu.be/H3Is2_jNEfk Valdons - Stop, Wait A Minute Girl/Whatcha Gonna Do (Secret Stash Yellow 1st Issue) Ex £25 First (yellow)press from 2013 of these two previously unissued monsters. ‘Stop’ needs no real introduction having been a massive play since it’s release 8 years ago and has been floor filler ever since. Flip is lowrider heaven that has passed many people by thanks to the focus on ‘Stop’, well worth a listen! https://youtu.be/d34V58MP-4Y https://youtu.be/hPsYQfJtlQQ Invincibles - Nobody (Double Shot) Vg++ £25 Upfront funky, hard edged northern and getting some well deserved turntable action at some of the more forward thinking venues thanks to those in the know. https://youtu.be/8z3cupp0pDo https://youtu.be/dLrWvrF3LWo PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Delwands - This Time (I’m Gonna Win)/Marsha and The Delwands - No Hope, No Faith (Zudan) Vg+ (some label wear see images below) £125 Sold Hard one with demand growing for both sides. I remember putting ‘This Time’ on CDs for people as an semi/unknown some 13 years ago or so with little interest, despite a £30 price tag at the time. Fast forward to 2021 and it’s one the hottest lowrider 45s around with copies rarely being offered for sale and prices rising at an alarming rate (Mint- copy on one well known dealers site currently at £200). Flip is a fantastic semi-know northern dancer that’s never really had its day , finally getting some plays thanks to Callum Simpson. https://youtu.be/-e7LN191fpU https://youtu.be/ZpWPiyPiUho N Group - Words Of Love/Keep On Runnin’ (Wes Mar) Ex £45 Sold Infectious, under the radar, blue eyed lowrider that will be as expensive as the Egyptians or Castaways once it’s more widely known by those collectors. Flip is a seemingly forgotten Dean Anderson c/up from the days of Stafford with plenty of mileage left in it. Not easy to find these days and growing in demand. https://youtu.be/uiZHPSvBiDQ https://youtu.be/7tn-O3NrV8g Valdons - Whatcha Gonna Do/Stop, Wait A Minute Girl (Secret Stash Yellow 1st Issue) Ex £30 First, yellow press from 2013 of these two previously unissued monsters. ‘Stop’ needs no real introduction having been a massive play since it’s release 8 years ago and at one point these were changing hands for two or three times this price. Flip is lowrider heaven that has passed many people by thanks to the focus on ‘Stop’, if you haven’t heard it okay it, you’ll be hooked. https://youtu.be/d34V58MP-4Y https://youtu.be/hPsYQfJtlQQ Invincibles - Keep On Trying/Nobody (Double Shot) Vg++ £30 A gorgeous double helping of group harmony, topside is well regarded lowrider 45, but it’s the flip that does it for me - funky, hard edged and getting some well deserved turntable action at some of the more upfront venues thanks to those in the know. https://youtu.be/8z3cupp0pDo https://youtu.be/dLrWvrF3LWo PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Spice of Life - I Can Hear A Melody (Ref-O-Ree) Ex £200 Sold Mega rare, under the radar lowrider 45 out of Ted Jarrett’s Nashville stable. So very rarely offered for sale, just one, yes one, sake of this through Discogs and that was 2018! A handful of appearances on eBay in 15 years and just two clips on YouTube, one taken from a lowrider compilation CD of rarities. That’s the background, I’ll let the music speak for itself. https://youtu.be/SDVG6lVfz6U PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured, Europe £8.95 tracked and signed.

Pat & The Neurotics - I Like The Way You Do Your Thing (Crown Ltd.) strong Vg+ £300 Infectious, horn driven, funky edged sister soul at it’s very best. Rarely offered for sale and with massive floor filling potential. This is strong Vg+ almost Ex but for a couple of light blemishes. It won’t be here in the morning. https://youtu.be/uwmKx5vSzEk PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured, Europe £8.95 tracked and signed. USA £12.95 tracked.

Johnnie Mae Matthews - Got To Be On (The Case) (ART) Ex £300 A rare opportunity to purchase this seldom offered for sale, funky, hard edged sister soul from the queen of Detroit. Her best 45 (there I said it) IMHO and so, so right for now it’s only a matter of time before this becomes a monster - what price then? Last eBay copy (2020) was Vg- and still sold for £250, this one is close to Mint- with super clean glossy labels. A beauty. https://youtu.be/VCHdErZGSVY PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Don’t think you’d get much change from a grand these days TBH

Attractions - Did I Do The Right Thing (Nation-Wide) Vg++ £375 Nothing short of a sweet soul, group harmony grail. Four sales through Discogs (only three of which were above Vg grade), six times through eBay (and only twice above Vg grade) in last 15 years. Rare as rocking horse sh*t and absolutely stunning. Opportunity to get another in this type of condition (plays Ex) ain’t coming around anytime soon. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/JpdxPHD0CG0 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Great record

Gino Washington - Like My Baby/I’ll Be Around (Atac WD) Mint- (clean labels see images) £180 No introduction necessary really, one of THE finest double siders ever. Top side of course shares its backing track with Gino’s unreleased Stafford monster ‘Rat Race’ although is far superior IMHO, a truly wonderful side from a fantastic talent. Flip it and you have an equally brilliant slab of mid tempo soul that’s seeing something of a revival appearing on a number of playlists across Europe and the UK. Rarer than the issue, a flawless copy with clean and glossy labels. https://youtu.be/OdBbWH-dTk0 https://youtu.be/q-jFSCDIvHI PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Yeah long time ago, a couple of years prior a Cavaliers on Shrine went through which I was watching, ending at 3am. Waited up until 1am and rose to £443 so I figured would end up a grand minimum and gave up. Next morning sold for just over £500 🥲. I think it was this copy that then sold on Manship’s auction for I think £6k.

Got to be this one! And no I missed it altogether 🥲

Inspirational Souls - Jesus Is Going Away (Crusade) Mint- £35 Sold 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 Charles Brimmer - Freedom Overspill (Brimco) Mint- £50 Early ‘80s (?) seemingly unknown modern by the brilliant Charles Brimmer. Not on YouTube (clip below is this copy) only one sale on Discogs about 2 years ago and a couple on Popsike. I could only find a couple of Brimmer discographies and ot seems to be missing from those too. Obscure definitely, potential undoubtedly, rarity well it ain’t common! https://youtu.be/qLSJ-fkL4RI Rudi Stuart - I Wanna Love You All Over (Delmar International) £25 Sold 1980 shuffler that I’m told had plays on release, amazingly though seems virtually unknown. Reminds me of many of the anthemic ‘modern’ 45s of the time (Bill Harris, Alfie Davidson, Benny Troy etc.) huge potential. By no means an easy find these days either. https://youtu.be/cDzUOGRNXDs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Johnny Howard - The Chase Is On (Bashie WD) Mint- £325 No introduction necessary really. One of THE biggest nighter sounds of the last ten years, a monumental slab of anthemic northern soul. A floor filler of unquestionable rarity, quality and desirability in gorgeous condition. https://youtu.be/KUjwYrpbQ-c PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Touch Of Class - Love Me Baby (Renfro) Vg+ £100 Sold Well here’s one you don’t see every day (or even every year come to that). The original (?) version, and best IMHO, of the Viola Edwards cut on the same label (and mysteriously shares the same catalogue number!?) Very hard to say which is rarer but this one really is a touch of class, an exquisite girl group crossover 45 that seems to have been completely ignored (or is just virtually unknown thanks to its rarity - only one clip on YouTube says a lot). Will appeal to lowrider collectors, but seems unknown in those circles too. https://youtu.be/DxsBngHYYFE Bishop and The Wallace Brothers - Sad Man/I Might Give Out But I Won’t Give Up (Magnetic Studios) Ex £100 Sold Talking of unknowns, here’s an incredible and rare piece of gorgeous Ohio deep soul (oh those horns) that generated quite a lot of interest when I posted it on the ‘Forgotten 60s Mid-tempo’ group yesterday. Flip is a decent, slightly funk edged dancer that’s had a bit of exposure in Europe. Both sides seem to be relatively unknown, it’s obscurity, rarity and quality not in question. https://youtu.be/wJJgzb9VfKc https://youtu.be/WOw7dXV2J7I Jonesetts -,Stop, Look And Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex (pressed slightly off centre, DNAP priced accordingly ) £25 Sought after by those in the known from the lowrider community but otherwise seems relatively unknown here and in Europe. Both sides are sublime with ‘Stop’ being the pick of the two. Seems to be slightly off centre as the arm sways a little bit doesn’t appear to affect play- priced accordingly should be £50. https://youtu.be/afEUtJSKc_k https://youtu.be/8Oix897uBXc PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Roy Redmond - Ain’t That Terrible (Loma WD) Ex £175 Funky edged bomb and so so in demand in the year or so before lockdown, this will be massive when clubs re-open. What price then? Lovely Ex condition, clean labels on this significantly rarer (than the issue) WD copy. Al Trahan - Can I Feel It (Spindle Top) Ex £100 Sold Texas funk bomb. This has everything to be massive with crossover, funk and hard edged northern potential. Already on the radar of the more progress DJs and venues. Rare too, get a lovely clean copy now while it’s still relatively cheap. Gene Chandler - In My Body’s House (Checker) Vg+ £80 Sold Last copy I had of this flew out. Written by Curtis Mayfield and arranged by Tom Tom do I need to say anything else? Been on the playlists of the more forward thinking DJs and the wants lists of the more open minded collectors for a while now and with those credits you can’t really go wrong.

Ralfi Pagan - Look At Her (Fabian) Vg+ £75 Gorgeous Latin lowrider 45 with enormous crossover potential. Totally under the radar and very hard to pull, especially in playable condition. Once this gets more widely known expect prices to double and then some. https://youtu.be/qOQslYn1els Charlie Harris Royal Ashbury Band - Gee, It’s Nice/More And More (Ashbury) Ex/Vg- £50 Gorgeous group harmony lowrider, that’s a very tough 45 to acquire (recently selling in mint- for £250). Now the good news is this side looks and plays Ex. The bad news is that whilst the flip is a nice crossover tune it is badly marked and consequently ticks, clicks and pops (sound file from actual record below). Still a fraction of the going rate! https://youtu.be/vI7KB5CNh4A https://youtu.be/1fQM5aPdyC8 Topics - All Good Things Must End/Try A Little Love (Heavy Duty Records) Mint- £30 Double sided dynamite. Killer group harmony lowrider ballad that has, thus far, stayed under the radar and recorded is still damn cheap b/w superb under the radar crossover.

Ambers - Baby (I Need You)/Blue Birds (New Art) Ex £275 There’s hot and then there’s hot. Very reluctant sale from my own collection. Currently one of the hottest lowrider 45s with massive demand across the US, Europe and the UK. And it’s no surprise, a simply sublime slab of sweet with a beat one side, flip it and you have an underplayed, under the radar dancer that just builds and builds. Both sides backed by the Shrine (yes Shrine) house band! Never been a common record, now almost impossible to find for under $300 and rising in leaps and bounds - it ain’t stopping any time soon either.

Nate Reese with Brown Sugar - Message To The People (360 Degrees) Ex £100 Virtually unknown (and scarce) early ‘70s storming, funky edged soul bomb with a socio-political message.

Lovations - (I Keep Singing) La La La Ooh/Heaven Told Me So (Part 111) Vg++ £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 recently with a copy on Discogs going for over £400.

Cool Sounds - Where Do We Go From Here (America)/I’ll Take You Back (Warner Brothers) Vg++ £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 too. https://youtu.be/SCwTqGCYBo8 https://youtu.be/Qg4AIA4V4hM Lee Moses - I Can’t Take No Chances (Front Page) Vg+ (WOL on flip) £50 Stunning and still under the radar for many in the UK this 1970 lowrider bomb is bang on for now with tons of crossover appeal.

Gorgeous copy and genuine original with RDS 45-7225-1 DMRS720603 dead wax markings. https://youtu.be/alpxeEq5YtM https://youtu.be/b76NmPQx5-c Lou D. Washington and The Professionals - Stay Of Execution/Since I’ve Fallen In Love (Steeltown) Ex £150 Sold Underplayed and under the radar group harmony dancer, finally getting some well deserved attention in Europe.

Not a common record by any stretch of the imagination and still, currently, cheap considering how rarely it’s offered for sale. https://youtu.be/rf5MZwIIBt8 https://youtu.be/8m5tkfT-bcs Revlons.- (Oh Oh Oh) What A Love This Is/Did I Make A Mistake (Toy) Ex £150 Hold 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 lesser known lowrider group harmony, sweet with a beat that will rise and rise in value.
