Hard edged funky bangers
Al Pinkston Jr. - You’re Not There/I Look, I See (Tra Mo) Vg+ £60 Brilliant under the radar (for now) hard edged dancer with a growing reputation, prior to lockdown was featuring on a number of playlists by the more forward thinking upfront DJs and venues. Flip is a sublime under the radar crossover dancer that I think was an older Stafford c/up. Seems to be an imprint label of Knight (Soul Blendors, Gary Sole, Lionel Robinson etc.) with Traci Borges in credits. Recommended. https://youtu.be/ghEo5OzI_-0 https://youtu.be/bwYbYWw0lck Willis Wooten - You’re Love Is Indescribably Delicious (Virtue WD) Mint- (storage warp DNAP) £60 Sold Funky hard edged banger of a tune that’s been a rare room spin for a few years now, only a matter of time before it reaches the masses and then what price? Get it now while it’s still under the radar to many. https://youtu.be/3qGEKiZfdkA E,J. and The Echoes - Treat Me Right/If You Just Love Me (Diamond Jim) Vg (plays strong Vg/Vg+ £50 Sold Hard edged Detroit group harmony dancer that sounds just right for now. Has lived in the shadow of ‘Put A Smile...’ for too long. Flip is another excellent group harmony ballad. Tough to find in anything like playable condition, this one is visually Vg but plays strong, clip from actual record below. https://youtu.be/GzTToOmHYdA PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Rare lowrider daggers: Wendy Rene, Commands, Vanguards
Wendy Rene - After Laughter (Stax) Ex (WOL, single marker pen line see image) £300 Sold Arguably THE most sought after lowrider 45 in existence thanks in part to its use as a sample, but putting that to one side we are left with an absolute dagger of a tune. Do not ignore the often overlooked flip side either, another lovely lowrider ballad in itself. So, so hard to find in nice condition, with a Mint- selling on Manship’s auction only last month for over £600, this one is close to mint- , very slight storage warp (DNAP) and one small marker pen line on label are the only blemishes. In current climate a bargain and a beauty. https://youtu.be/151sH5VBdrE https://youtu.be/Yh0NU-iarT8 Commands - Don’t Be Afraid To Love Me (Dynamic) Vg++ £160 One of their hardest 45s to obtain and their best (IMHO), like the above only bills and other purchases force this sale. Big, big lowrider tune that still seems somewhat under the radar here, probably thanks to the popularity of ‘No Time/Hey It’s Love’. Not one you’ll find in this condition too often. https://youtu.be/bRg1R9A-b5w Vanguards - It’s Too Late For Love/The Thought Of Losing Your Love (Lamp WD) Mint- (some bubbling to label) £60 Sold Gorgeous lowrider group harmony one side, funky hard edged northern the other (been bubbling under for some time and finally getting some deserved attention). Double sider that’s currently still far too cheap, can only rise in value. https://youtu.be/YkL3aQ1u_UA https://youtu.be/PQiYvA_g0uE PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Now that’s what I call Gospel Funk
Supreme Travelers - Death Shakes Frame (Gospel Master) Ex £50 Totally under the radar, obscure funky gospel soul banger, just right for now. As good as any of the recent biggies to have crossed over (Holy Disciples, Gospel IQ’s, Salem Travelers etc.) potential is huge for this one. https://youtu.be/0fRW3LDMdvU Soul Stirrers - There’s A Man (Checker Sermons & Spirituals) Mint- £40 Sold For me one of, if not their very, best recordings. Deep group harmony that’s had plays in Europe recently thanks to Andreas Beraha. Impossible to find in anything but beaten condition on Checker, this is super clean Sermons & Spirituals issue. Not on YouTube! Clip below from actual record on my channel. https://youtu.be/1oGSW7Aknog Detroit Cumberland Rivers - I’m Going Home (Kable) Vg/Vg- £40 The rarest of the three and notoriously difficult to find in decent condition (seen for well over £100 in better condition). Superb Detroit group harmony gospel dancer and a former Dave Thorley and Greg Belson tip (was featured on a fairly recent Devine Chord Gospel show). The key side ‘Going Home’ plays strong Vg, clip below. https://youtu.be/cP9BKGeTR6A PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Big Northern and Lowrider demand and rarely seen in such lovely condition on its first local Texas release. A keeper. https://youtu.be/Il3IE2jyvz4 https://youtu.be/iZ9kG-FRNTE Casinos - If I Told You/Everybody Can’t Be Pretty (Del-Val) Mint- £50 An almost forgotten group harmony dancer (former Gary Rushbrook spin) in gorgeous near new condition.

Here is one of their easy to find, but no less infectious 45s. Overlooked for too long, the top side has huge potential, again don’t dismiss the flip either. https://youtu.be/UusMqLOn6Qw https://youtu.be/j978UnFAQ6s PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Top side is hard edged upfront rare room spin that’s been in demand for those in the know for some time, and is the better take compared to the Klondike release.

Lowrider/Northern Group Harmony Monsters
Revlons - (Oh, Oh, Oh) What A Love This Is / Did I Make A Mistake (Toy) Mint- £125 Pat Brady’s (?) old Al Williams and The Masqueraders c/up, sounds bang on for a revival having never really gained the exposure it deserves.

Popcorn, R&B and Northern Rarities
Otis Busch - Can I Depend On You (Cha Cha) Mint- £125 Growing demand for this rarity thanks to interest in the later David Gage version. The Jerhart release is supposedly rarer than Cha Cha but personally have seen more of the Jerhart one. Either way this one is hard (Popsike lists only 7: 3 on Cha Cha and 4 on Jerhart). Beautiful copy looks unplayed. https://youtu.be/96PWnUpma8U Debbie and The Ladds - Dear Lord Above (Ladd) One time £1,000 rarity with copies have surfaced this under the radar Louisiana dancer has come down to more affordable levels (still books at £200 though) Ex £75 (bargain) Sold https://youtu.be/RcZQq7PdKt4 Earl ‘Duke’ Jenkins - Misusin’ Me/Oh Boy (Bee) Mint - £20 Brilliant semi-known R&B dancer with huge potential, seems to be popular with collectors so only a matter time before it goes big.

Don’t sleep on this one. https://youtu.be/8dzc-mJ5y2w Miss Madeline - Lonely Girl / Behave Yourself (Mar-V-Lus) Mint- £25 Sold How this is still under £50 I’ll never know. Stunning double sider by the young Miss Madeline. Top side is same as Young Folk a superb piece of forgotten mid tempo soul. Flip is under the radar beauty that seems to have been ignored.

Three group harmony killers
Charades - You Better Believe It / Darling Believe Me (Harlem Hitparade) Ex (almost Mint-) £125 SOLD Last copy I had of this I could’ve sold ten times over in first ten minutes of listing - seriously scarce and a lovely copy of this underplayed and still only semi known group sound. One time Stafford play is very very hard to find, 500 copies only pressed in 1973 from what was a mid sixties Mercury recording. So much potential in this and can only rise in value. Don’t overlook the lowrider flip side either! https://youtu.be/Un13q4ChjwM https://youtu.be/s8fJQL78INk Fabulous Four - If I Knew / Everybody’s Gotta Have A Heart (Saintmo) Mint- £100 Simply superb double sider, with former Stafford topside that sounds like a £1,000 + record. Copies have long since disappeared into collections, and this very rarely shows up anymore. Demand from lowrider collectors for both sides (check out ‘Everybody’s’ for a sublime piece of lowrider group harmony) means this can only rise and rise in value. Lovely copy. https://youtu.be/iuAkALWlYV https://youtu.be/BSgk7TCT5Bg Caesars - Get Yourself Together / (La La) I Love You (Lanie) Vg++ £40 Probably my favourite of the three, absolutely love the lowrider side ‘Together’ finally picking up interest outside the US.

Sublime deep with a beat with huge potential, very rarely turns up and in pristine condition! https://youtu.be/2nQc9ji5qdA The Versatiles - Lonely Man/Cry Like. Baby (Staff) Mint- £65 Double sided group harmony brilliance. ‘Cry’ has been a converted mid tempo tune certainly since the early ‘80s, but it’s the flip that raises the bar to a whole new level. ‘Lonely Man’ is just superb in every sense, a big lowrider tune just waiting for exposure to a wider audience. I guarantee one listen and you’ll be hooked. https://youtu.be/RTIgz9RXsQ0 https://youtu.be/w5PGksmO9ok Lee Williams and The Cymbals - I’ll Be Gone/I Love You More (Carnival) Vg/Vg+ £60 While we’re talking double siders, this must be one of the best!

Personally I prefer ‘Gone’ but both sides are simply sublime. Another very hard to find in decent nick! This is vinyl copy as opposed to the styrene release. https://youtu.be/qTBZnBAvPGY https://youtu.be/R3lhfSL0l4k Scientists of Soul - Baby Baby I Love You/Be That Way Sometimes (Kashe) Mint- £20 Sold Hidden away on the flip of this oldie lies a superb piece of lowrider group harmony soul that’s finally getting the attention it deserves.

In demand lowrider beauties
Del-Chords - Your Mommy Lied To Your Daddy/Everybody’s Gotta Lose Sometimes (Mr. Genius) Vg+ (WOL small biro see image) £60 Nice copy of the rarely offered Mr. Genius release of this awesome double sided group harmony monster. ‘Mommy’ long been a collector’s favourite both on the upfront northern and lowrider scenes. Flip is sublime lowrider group harmony. Another set to go up and up in value. https://youtu.be/45Jy4BdqpfU https://youtu.be/n3iRZeWzeUQ Witches and the Warlock - The Wanderer (Sew City) Mint- (some slight bubbling to flip side label) £20 Picked up a spare of this fantastic under the radar radar sound. Demand is growing on this one especially in the States amongst the sweet and lowrider collectors where I’ve seen listed for $50. One listen and you’ll buy it - awesome tune for next to nothing. https://youtu.be/kSRjHtgIkHY Jonesetts - Stop, Look & Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex £30 Two sublime late ‘60s/ early ‘70s sweet soul sides, that are currently under the radar. Seems pretty hard to find especially in nice condition, only a handful through eBay according to Popsike. https://youtu.be/7p_I2cyoT24 https://youtu.be/8Oix897uBXc PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Rare, semi-known and in demand funky dancers
Billy Sha-Rae - I’m Gone (Spectrum) Ex (slight ring wear see photo) £75 Sold So In demand right now, superb funky version on lots of upfront playlists currently. One sold for £100 a couple of weeks ago off a well-know (and very reasonably priced) dealer’s site. Will go up and up this one. https://youtu.be/FBZ_fiY5FBg Sugar and Sweet - Cool It Baby (S.S.J.) Mint- £75 Sold Stunning gritty styled northern dancer with huge potential, if you’re looking for something different and rare then this ticks all the boxes. Still very much under the radar, sounds dead right for now. https://youtu.be/5x-azi52RrY Reflections - You Don’t Love Me / I Need Your Love (Went) Ex (slight ring wear see photo) £65 Fabulous group harmony dancer that seems relatively unknown still to most, had some Wilton plays I think. Flip is a gorgeous deep group ballad. Hard one to find in decent nick. https://youtu.be/5O_fDbud2_I https://youtu.be/unygOujoMbs Al Johnson - Soul Time/Sittin’ Around (Burt) Ex £60 ‘Soul time’ is a funky uptempo banger of a tune that seems just right for now, flip is a delightful mid tempo crossover that also seems to have escaped people’s attention. Very few through eBay over the last 10 years and usually hit £100+ when they do and only one YouTube clip! https://youtu.be/hi8AUgaNmA https://youtu.be/JuH4zkmLCpg The Sams - Please Come Back (Ebony) Mint- £30 Gorgeous early low-fi group harmony dancer that seems bit rare and relatively unknown (only the one YouTube clip from Kitch). Same label as the Delcos, sounds familiar to these ears so may have had some short lived Stafford attention? If you’re looking for something different to add to your set then this is a must. Bargain price, given its scarcity. https://youtu.be/4HKGYihKlwo PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage £3.50 registered and insured, £1.85 standard first class.

Rare, semi-known and underplayed
Mike Watson - I Dig Your Kind (Canadian Columbia) VG (plays well with minor surface noise - see full YouTube clip below) £60 Sold Very hard to find on with Etah or this Canadian Columbia release. Fabulous northern dancer with full male group harmony backing from the Barons (credited on the Etah release). Under the radar, underplayed and rare (only a handful through eBay on either label according to Popsike). https://youtu.be/Pf7AcWiHCBA Al Johnson - Soul Time/Sittin’ Around (Burt) Ex £75 ‘Soul time’ is a funky uptempo banger of a tune that seems just right for now, flip is a delightful mid tempo crossover that also seems to have escaped people’s attention. Very few through eBay over the last 10 years and usually hit £100+ when they do. https://youtu.be/hi8AUgaNmAk https://youtu.be/Mpd3um06nV0 Johnny Dunn - My Stupid Heart/The Bank For Lovers (Hull WD XOL - like most copies) Ex £60 Sold Scarce double sided New York R&B style dancer. ‘Heart’ I think had some plays some 10 or so years ago at Pow Wow Wow (?) but both sides need wider attention, has massive appeal and really should be twice the price. https://youtu.be/1VqMpbTFHVU https://youtu.be/_KToP9f0ebs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Flip is nice funky dancer that doesn’t seem especially well known. Hard to find, with lots of demand (even the Sound Facts boot seems to sell for £50+)! https://youtu.be/Nj7Npxa_yLg https://youtu.be/qR3-0t4rAGE Jonesetts - Stop, Look & Listen/Once I Had A Love (Cougar) Ex £50 Two sublime late ‘60s/ early ‘70s sweet soul sides, that are currently under the radar.
