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. Don’t ignore the sublime under the radar lowrider flip side, gorgeous harmonies - for me the best side.

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. Flip it and you have the perfect group harmony dancer. You cannot buy a better record for under £50! https://youtu.be/800WIF7uhVY https://youtu.be/qSciVUAYaRs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

And it’s no surprise similar in pace and style to his big rarity and, arguably, better! ‘Help’ is widely regarded as a masterpiece of deep soul amongst Japanese collectors and of course is massively in demand with the lowrider crowd across the pond.

Funky Northern/Crossover Bangers
Al Johnson - Soul Time/Sittin’ Around (Burt) Ex £40 Sold ‘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. Below is the only one YouTube clip! https://youtu.be/hi8AUgaNmA https://youtu.be/JuH4zkmLCpg Kerry Adams - I’m Gonna Give You Something Good (Delmar Sound Craft) Mint- £20 Been under the radar for some years now, so much potential in this funky crossover style winner.

Northern, lowrider and R&B rare ones
Shirley of the Soul Sister and Brother - What More? (Could Anyone Want) (Rujac) Mint - £100 Sold Stupidly rare, hardly ever comes to market and is still very much u set the radar.

Lowrider in demanders
Charles and Ivory - My Little Baby (Geneva) Ex £150 Growing demand for this rarity as it starts to appear on more and more playlists across the US and Europe. 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!

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.

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.

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%.

Funky northern/crossover bangers
Mark Putney - Today’s Man/Don’t Come Around Here Anymore (Ovide) Mint- £60 Sold Massive demand on this one, not sure if that’s due to a revival of ‘Today’s Man’ or the brilliant flip has finally been recognised.

Funky crossover/gospel bangers
Bob and Gene - I Gotta Find A Way / Don’t Leave Me (Mo Do) Ex £50 Sold Sublime lesser known mid tempo crossover dancer that has been overlooked for too long. Not as scarce as others on the label but demand from sweet/lowrider collectors has seen copies dry up. Flip is another sweet lowrider tune.
