Mixed Bag O’ Bargains
Riddles - It’s One Thing To Say (Mercury) Ex (company sleeve) £50 Little introduction needed these days for this one time garage obscurity that’s grown and grown into an a massive in demander in recent years. Still got bags of plays left in it, and is no longer an easy 45 to find! Seen at twice this price in the recent past so a bargain for someone. https://youtu.be/HmGwyLjvcJ4?si=KDgX7yqGE6KfT3qj Jay Lyle - How Good Can It Get (Angel City) Mint- £75 An almost forgotten Wigan monster (so I’m told, I am far too young to know 😉 funk edged R&B that’s had more recent plays from the likes of Paul Vine amongst others. A tough 45 to acquire that doesn’t seem to gone to market often with a top sale of £140 on Discogs. Plenty of legs left in this one! https://youtu.be/3t5ZLdQejZE?si=dLrnPNZbwgo6R1gW Aaron Neville - She Took You For A Ride (Parlo) Vg (plays Vg+ £10 Last, cheapest, but certainly not least a 45 that seems under the radar here but we’ll known stateside. Last few I’ve had have gone to pretty well known DJs so must be getting some plays somewhere! Not many 45s of this quality still available for this sort of price! Doesn’t turn up that often either so expect to see it rise soon. https://youtu.be/6KIErHQ2O9c PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Virtually Unknown Northern Mega Rarity: Bonnie Graham on Pre
Bonnie Graham - A Fool Am I (Preview) Mint- £500 Mega rare Bonnie Graham 45 which is still unknown to most. Full on northern to a tee that sounds awesome on a big system. Rare to find a tune of this magnitude and potential today which is still widely unknown to most. Tiny Google footprint and rare as hen’s teeth, a chance to own a genuinely rare top quality ‘unknown’ in flawless condition. No YouTube obviously so clip below from actual 45. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/tJKaGaGAiqXHjeC6/?mibextid=WC7FNe PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured.

Lowrider Rarities and In Demanders
Donnie, Fonnie & La Vorn - It’s Sweet Love/A Woman Who’ll Let You Be A Man (Trump) Mint- £200 Killer lowrider twofer here that is rarely offered for sale. Seen a significant increase in demand for this too recently with prices at £300+ on both Discogs and eBay. Still relatively under the radar here I think but only a matter of time. One that hasn’t reached its peak price point yet. Priced to sell! https://youtu.be/y-QQICM7hkI?si=ybnigI5Jby8OfhoN https://youtu.be/kN-Uxd-OA00?si=lZlHt3qTkq-YILhg Marriotts - Ooo Baby Baby/Tell It Like It Is (ABC WD) Mint- (XOL) £35 This seems equally if not even lesser known than the 45 above, a simply gorgeous, hairs on the back of the neck slab of sweet with a beat. Another tough 45 to acquire and I have to say this is my pick of the three tonight, can’t believe this is being slept on! https://youtu.be/YkM8SRFdia0?si=db9xuVQsIB0SXcUY N Group - Words Of Love/Keep On Running (Wes Mar) Mint- £35 Killer blue-eyed lowrider ballad, that went for well over £100 a while back on a CarolinaSoul auction (an outlier admittedly but testimony to how good a 45 this actually is). Flip it for a ripe for revival long forgotten former Stafford c/up, sounds bang on for now with that Garage Soul sound currently gaining favour up and down the country. https://youtu.be/uiZHPSvBiDQ https://youtu.be/jY-uUI4FgfA PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Garage Soul/R&B In Demanders
Fabulous Impacts - A Thousand Years/Cry Cry (Dad’s) Vg+ £150 Killer in demand funk edged garage soul pounder that is ridiculously difficult to find. Had done exposure in Europe and via the more progressive UK DJs but remains under the radar. Tons of potential to cross over this one. Usually goes for around £200-£250 I’m told by those in the know. Priced to sell. (N.B. Don’t ignore the blue eyed deep soul flip.) https://youtu.be/xvHrDg55IVI?si=On4sYjFCIrwGcK5J https://youtu.be/cbVzmlLW6LI?si=tf8_1Py2BIk8Ua5k Romans - You Won Your Victory (MY) Vg+ £125 Another in demand garage soul dancer by those in the know. Had some European exposure but little here in the UK as far as I’m aware. Their rarest on the highly collectible MY label with the few copies around seemingly in pretty rough condition. This one looks incredibly clean, closer to Ex. (Flip in a lovely under the radar ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style garage soul ballad.) https://youtu.be/fxua3nQBokw?si=tCO14Nkpkn6cTz4B The Tangents - I’m No Fool (Mastertone) Ex £150 One of the ‘most wanted’ garage soul/R&B 45s out there currently. Seriously tough 45 to acquire (much rarer than its C Vaughn Leslie stablemate) yet still remarkably cheap by comparison to other 45s that are more common and less inferior. Loads of potential for this one to crossover to wider scenes, but for now seems pretty exclusive to those hunting garage/blue eyed 45s. Price will rise! P.S. don’t ignore the flip either! https://youtu.be/GYX_0xk1CcI?si=S_t4RkiNgcjrf3so https://youtu.be/qKs_qbtzp1M?si=ust026vn2lBb2M5L PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Hen’s Teeth Rare Semi-Known Funk Edged Northern
Shelia & The Tonettes - You Ain’t Gonna Get It (Arvus) Mint- £300 BOOM! Very reluctant sale of this uptempo funk edged sister soul dancer. Exceptionally rare, only seen a couple of these for sake ever and they weren’t in this condition (spotless)! Rarity has meant this has stayed very much under the radar but it has had some exposure from those in the know (Europe, RSF etc.). Single figures on Discogs and eBay and the last one I saw was $500.

Funk Edged Northern, R&B and Gospel
Tempettes - If You Only Knew/Dummy Dummy Dum Dum (Impresario) Mint- £125 Semi-known funk edged girl group double sider. Top side has no YouTube (until I uploaded the clip below) and seems to be virtually unknown (the better of the two sides for me too). Flip has just the one YT and certainly isn’t widely known. A rare 45 too with just a handful through Discogs and eBay. Given it’s rarity and quality this one’s a bargain! https://youtu.be/RccO2-2BvXI?si=_STH7knH2g7Wkffz https://youtu.be/EE92zMmpckk?si=xPCItjNBpTmgIreU Jay Lyle - How Good Can It Get (Angel City) Mint- £100 Killer semi-known funk edged R&B that’s had plays from the likes of Paul Vine amongst others. A tough 45 to acquire that doesn’t seem to gone to market often with a top sale of £140 on Discogs. Plenty of legs left in this one! https://youtu.be/3t5ZLdQejZE?si=dLrnPNZbwgo6R1gW Teddy Huffam and The Gems - Guilty (RUC) Ex (some light background which I assume is a pressing defect as this looks almost like new) £75 ***HEAR IT*** Killer Gospel banger that is both exceptionally rare and relatively unknown. Last Discogs copy sold for £200 and with only a handful ever appearing on Discogs and eBay this another bargain. Lots of potential in this one, had a few plays via progressive DJs that actually have a copy but lots of legs left in it! https://youtu.be/vCiBKvNz4Zo?si=68uyyu3N3QKUcKZk Bill Morgan & The Rubber Band - Old Woman (Brown Hat Records) Vg- £75 ***HEAR IT*** One look at that label tells you this is a ridiculously rare 45! Probably not in the best condition but then it’s only other entry on YT is in much the same condition and and Craig Moerer has one in G+ at about £350 on Discogs. Funk edged R&B that’s pretty much unknown and sounds so right for now. Hear a clip from the actual 45 below. https://youtu.be/_sh1_k6s3Qg?si=cJTAeaCksZMNeSEV PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Semi-known girl group northern rarity
Les Elegante’s - I’ve Been Lonely (Afro-K) Vg+ £150 Semi-known girl group banger that has somehow escaped the attention of DJs (You Tubers). This really is girl group northern to a tee and for me is up there with many of the classics. Tough 45 on a label that appears not to have any other releases. Garage connection as the flip is by a group called The Other Kind who are also credited with the backing on this side. Clip below from actual 45 and will be removed from YT once sold. https://youtu.be/QUQZKgtlvNw?feature=shared PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Another that could easily be the next Riddles! Roy Head - Pain (Back Beat) Ex (WOL) £15 Dagger cheapie from the ‘Treat Her Right’ Texan, that seems very much under the radar.

Funk Edged Northern and R&B
Chuck Strong - I Got To Change My Way Of Living (Aduwa) Ex £150 BOOM! Funk edged crossover bomb that’s both very rare and still somewhat under the radar. So much potential still in this one, recent Discogs prices are £200-£250 and certainly rare enough to be more. Priced to sell, lovely clean copy! https://youtu.be/zWa25_5EJG0?si=K3bNRA5eli75-fWW Jay Lyle - How Good Can It Get (Angel City) Mint- £125 Killer semi-known funk edged R&B that’s had plays from the likes of Paul Vine amongst others.

Another with plenty of legs left in it IMHO. https://youtu.be/tzuXYiyyU08?si=jR6gj999jU2jI4Ou Joe McLean - Let’s Talk About Love (EGO) strong VG (light background in quieter parts but otherwise plays Vg+) £20 Another bargain and another that’s tricky to find in tip condition and when it is is double this price.

R&B/Garage Soul Bangers Under £50!
AdLibs - Neighbor Neighbor/Lovely Ladies (Interphon) Mint- £40 Killer R&B/Popcorn double sider! ‘Neighbor ‘seems to be the lesser known of the two sides (and the best of the two for me sounded very current) both sides give a distinctly garage flavour to these two Jimmy Hughes monsters) with the slower flip being better known to Popcorn collectors. Lovely copy. https://youtu.be/V7ZH7zxCw2c?si=B07YQGj8iViN5PDy Chosen Few - Baby Don’t Do It (BFD) Mint- £40 One of the hottest garage soul 45s around at the moment and still affordable. Being dropped by Greg Belson amongst others and copies are being snapped up fast when they appear. https://youtu.be/bHCpf-ZDzA0 Eddie Wood - Why Did You Call (Perico) Ex £40 Banging overlooked dancer that would comfortably fit with current upfront sets. Not an easy 45 to acquire either, bags of potential in this one for an enterprising DJ looking to play something different. https://youtu.be/9inQWcDiYb4?si=pROuwdE7FLjglkZu Dino Valenti - Don’t Let It Down (Elektra) Vg £25 Garage R&B banger that is so now! Would be nearer £100 if it was in better condition. Some light crackle can be heard just below the recording but still a decent play copy (might benefit from a decent clean).

R&B/Garage Rarity: Nicky De Matteo ‘Crackin’ Stone’
Nicky De Matteo - Crackin’ Stone (Kelso) Vg+ £100 Killer Garage R&B 45 with bags of potential for the wider northern scene. Also released under the guise of Nicky Shane on the FourX label, with neither an easy 45 to pick up. Seems to be know to some Popcorn collectors and those in the know across the pond but has little if any exposure in the UK. Easily as good as some of the big ticket Northern/R&B rarities. Perfect for now IMHO. https://youtu.be/REcZGDbqhwk?si=hnagPgFQUaXSIkeU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 registered and insured, £4.50 recorded. Europe £8.95 tracked and signed.

Lesser Known Northern/Crossover 45s
Jo Armstead - There’s Not Too Many More (Left Like Him)/Another Reason Why I Love You (Giant) Vg+ £100 One of her lesser known cuts for Giant but no lesser quality than the others, this is a sublime crossover number that just ooozes class right from the off. Don’t overlook the funk edged dancer on the flip either. Seen this sell at £150 before now so this one is very much priced to sell. https://youtu.be/fsNg_e4nUxE?si=guFAjS_RbBLFksTP https://youtu.be/WsLtyvmmcgg?si=ClcwLq-9pmcf6w_3 Chuck Strong - I Got To Change My Way Of Living (Aduwa) Ex £150 REDUCED (can’t believe this didn’t sell earlier in the week)!

Strange old 45 British label (couple of other hidden gems on this label too). Caused quite a stir when I listed my other copy a few weeks ago (in fact could’ve sold four or five copies). So so right for now, seems unknown but not ruling out that it may have had plays in past. Just the one YouTube clip and seemingly sells at about £50 usually.

Some minor crackle on run in which is quickly drowned out by the recording and fades. This Cali vocal group stormer has risen in demand and price in recent years with VJ copies regularly changing hands for £250 + and the ‘impossible to find 988 42nd Street Wee release going for £3-£400.

The flip is even lesser known but really is every bit as good and every bit as perfect for current dance floors. Only 300 ever pressed so rarity guaranteed, lovely copy with top side just a single mark away from Mint-. https://youtu.be/_-uFzK1t1Qc?si=Y7LUtEXapwKlixDj https://youtu.be/jmoSXIPadZc?si=o7N3mY7yeIYrL3Ko PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

More Semi-Known Northern Bangers!
Oliver Morgan - The La La Man (Seven B) Ex £60 BOOM! Funk edged northern that’s been shockingly overlooked since the halcyon days of Stafford. This really is bang on for now and we’ll overdue a revival. Seems barely known outside the ten people that were at ToW on the one night it got played. Highly collectible label and a difficult one to score in high grade! https://youtu.be/2yOJl5ZY-wQ?si=7YfuRl7JPlgvY--W Earl Duff - This Little Girl Of Mine (Cee Dee) Mint- £50 Another seemingly forgotten and overlooked 45, lovely crossover style northern and a tough 45 to obtain. Perfect the more enterprising northern DJs out there. https://youtu.be/i2FA4FACmCg?si=pGEvZI5TZU4ZkOJg Scotty Williams - I’ve Got To Find Her (And Tell Her) (Jubilee WD) Vg+ £40 Much like the above one that really should be better known and would make a refreshing change to some of the same old same old oldies heard week in week out. Killer dancer from the artist best known for the wonderful ‘Fear’ and one with just enough edge to appeal to the younger crowds as well as the die hards. https://youtu.be/LFoI4Jiv2A0?si=bO6T2tqwNTO_Gl_d PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer Northern Rarities and Obscurities
Terri Bryant - Genie/When I’m In Your Arms (Verve) Vg+ £100 Little introduction needed for this stunning double sided Groovesville production. Credits include Mike Terry and Don Davis on two back to back stone cold Detroit classics. Nice copy drill hole. https://youtu.be/e9oTeE_cOYc?si=kVc55qFw9OvAJgtG https://youtu.be/iArrIZlSNvQ?si=i-P1ne9cGowHa6JW Brooks Odell - The Lively Ones/Standing Tall Vg+\Ex £75 Another fabulous double sider albeit somewhat lesser known than the above and indeed Brooks’ other 45s despite being IMHO his best (and rarest) by far. Both sides are deserving of much more attention than they’ve ever had but ‘Lively Ones’ for me really is waiting to have its day! Tough 45 for the label, lovely copy shades off Ex-Mint-. https://youtu.be/0FpWZ_pZYLM?si=gcD57y4_ZHFHmmL7 https://youtu.be/gzQuY3czcp4?si=0w-o0xQtp_QiSng9 Shep Grant - You Found My Lonely Heart A Home (Musicor) Vg+ £60 Killer Popcorn style, big voice, big city beat ballad that remains lesser known although I’m sure it had Stafford plays (and if it didn’t it should have). Some light hairlines but overall a good Vg+. Should be double this price in reality! https://youtu.be/r-yy6UFawiQ?si=NVPnqqUSAwORoFHz Delicates - Stop Shovin’ Me Around (Challenge) Mint- £50 Girl group northern to a tee and one you rarely see and even more rarely hear. Oldies DJs with imagination take note this is well worth adding to a set IMHO. Lovely copy despite some minor label wear (see pic). https://youtu.be/I3qdUpBfncc?si=sZm480SQFeokWnlk Scotty Williams - I’ve Got To Find Her (And Tell Her) (Jubilee WD) Vg+ £50 Much like the above one that really should be better known and would make a refreshing change to some of the same old same old oldies heard week in week out.

Killer Low Price Lowrider 45s
Johnny & The Expressions - Now That You’re Mine (Josie WD) Vg+ £75 Hauntingly atmospheric lowrider 45 that seems to be somewhat undervalued and perhaps still a little under the radar here in the UK. Jack White played this at Shades of Sorrow Vol 2 launch and it took the roof off. Stunning and a rarely seen WD at that! https://youtu.be/-OOjtJDtKA0?si=pitJcaF_1av-ixAe Chandlers - I Loved You, Girl/(Never Before) Your Love Keeps Drawing Me Closer (Bleu Rose) Ex £100 Beautiful copy of this fabulous double sider. Top side for me is the killer lowrider ballad, flip it for a classy northern group dancer. https://youtu.be/p3fIEb-c-fg?si=IkyZlSgcJjMK0cgl https://youtu.be/2hsxKaSNJ0Q?si=c2KWs79vkPGcj8cv Destinations - I Can’t Leave You (Ando) Vg+ £50 Beautiful blue eyed ballad that’s reputation and price continues to rise. Notoriously hard to find in decent condition with prices varying but at time’s reaching £100 for nice copies. Priced to sell! https://youtu.be/vAiV6vKo43Q?si=1uedAhO0rG_Gf0kL PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £4.00 registered and insured, £8 special delivery, Europe £9.50 tracked and signed.

Classic Northern In Demanders
Dee Clark - That’s My Girl (Constellation) Vg (plays Vg+ ***HEAR IT***) £65 Needs little introduction, sure fire northern floor filler looks Vg but plays strong. Bargain this is around half price for a decent play copy (demo distribution sticker on label). Clip from actual copy below. https://youtu.be/GAiflzByzCg?si=lHVOzdYYzF6Tu_eG Robert John - Raindrops, Love And Sunshine (A&M) Vg+ £50 Another that will need little introduction, a classic blue eyed soul dancer that was selling for way more at one time I’m sure. Nice copy close to Ex. https://youtu.be/3ti0ehWO5QY?si=Dr8mIxfgA5Y3CTSW Falcons - I’m A Fool I Must Love You (Big Wheel) Vg+ (***HEAR IT) £40 Ah a Detroit monster still and one that will always remind me of Stafford tape swappers. Not the best looking copy but grades at Vg+ and plays strong. Clip from actual copy below. https://youtube.com/shorts/ncuz4W5Jen4?si=URnT2lLiygtg_KWy Commands - No Time / Hey It’s Love (Back Beat) Vg (plays Vg+ some minor crackle on intros ***HEAR IT***) £40 Still one of THE best double sided group harmony soul 45s of all time. Looks rough, plays Texas tough (a few light crackles on the intro of both sides before fading away to a decent play copy. Again, priced accordingly. Clips from both sides of actual copy below. https://youtu.be/pjGhq4NCJS0?si=DfL11nGkks61kedh https://youtu.be/nEjWvHlct9M?si=6bTLNz6g4u_3_GCw PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer Garage Soul/R&B Bangers
Kampells - New Lock On My Door (Select) Mint- (company sleeve) £125 Not had one of these for a year or so and when I did I had to turn a lot of people away! Killer garage soul/R&B, had some exposure in Europe from the likes of Michele Coco but remains widely unknown. Last decent copy on Cogs sold for £120 and with huge potential can only increase in value. One for the more forward thinking DJs out there. https://youtu.be/R8UxKd46gxc Mark Lewis Trio - Turn On Your Love Light (C&W) Ex £50 Fabulous (and scarce) Garage Soul version of this incredible R&B standard, think (again) Michele Coco might be playing this version out currently. Great price given it’s rarity! https://youtu.be/izFbh7Qz2ro?si=RMf8snDUJCAKdBbL Nu-Tones - Easy Way To Love (Soul Plus) Ex £35 Bang on for now garage soul monster just waiting for some exposure! Reminds me of The Vondells and The Naturals on Path. Semi-known and with bags of potential, not a common 45 either! https://youtu.be/Yiil2kVqnVU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
