Lowrider Grail: Dirty Elbows (Solid Gold)
Dirty Elbows - I Love You, Girl (Solid Gold) Vg+ £250 Very, very reluctant sale of IMHO one of the best of Shades of Sorrow comp discoveries, an absolutely sublime slab of sweet group harmony soul. First copy I’ve had in about three years with my previous copy selling for £400 in 2022. High sales of £594 (Discogs) and £452 (eBay) for top condition copies alongside 125k + views on YouTube tells me this one’s very much in demand and maybe still has a way to go price wise. This copy is lower end Vg+ but plays clean with just some light crackle during the first 10 seconds which then fades as the recording gets louder (DM for a clip of you want to hear the actual 45, link to YT for reference only). Bargain price, don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/X2Nvx0G777o PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £4.00 registered and insured, £8 special delivery, Europe £9.50 tracked and signed. USA £12 tracked and signed. DM or email gspluck@aol.com to reserve or for more information. Please note I do not hold records for more than 12 hours unless agreed in advance.

Killer R&B/Garage 45: Bobby Reno & The Infurnos
Bobby Reno And The Infurnos - Just Like A Fool (Pitassy Records) Vg+ £125 Killer Garage/R&B 45 that despite being known for some time still appears to be somewhat under the radar. Absolutely bang on for now, can see this going the same way as the likes of Banny Price, John Fred etc. as interest is clearly growing given recesses highs £150+. Nice copy, some superficial marks (DNAP), plays clean. https://youtu.be/W0Y9xRe4TYE?si=osn7lc1tjfrwOVkx PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Under the radar and under £50!
Delacardos - Got No One/She’s The One I Love (Atlantic) Mint- £40 Haunting lowrider ballad that if it were not for a major label release would be very rare indeed AND very expensive (note a Q-City copy sold on eBay last night at $135). Been rising steadily last couple of years with top sale of £65 on Cogs. Don’t ignore the overlooked upbeat northern flip side either (the rarer version of this currently experiencing a mini-revival too I believe so will doubtless see a further increase in demand and price for this). Lovely copy, and the vinyl press too as opposed to the more common styrene one. https://youtu.be/i1cboIplpM0 https://youtu.be/llvmfVXbAFg Charmels - Please Uncle Sam (Send Back My Man) Volt Mint- £40 Not as rare as ‘As Long...’ but still very much sought after on lowrider scene, seems under the radar here but is a sublime piece of mid tempo female group soul. Can only increase in value as demand increases. Very hard to find in nice condition, most copies seem beat! https://youtu.be/mBIvWpjyNy4 Soft Tones - How Did I Lose/Any Street (Thereway) Mint- £35 Fabulous lowrider double sider, both of these sides got Avco releases albeit on separate 45s but here they are back to back on their original and very scarce local release. Seen this selling at £75 recently seems demand is on the rise. https://youtu.be/ZIOXSKum0-U https://youtu.be/dyM2UR9oxEI PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Upfront Funk Edged Bangers
Jack Kane - All My Life (Look) Ex £60 Country Funk/Garage monster that’s graced the playlist of the likes of Jack White and Brian Maguire amongst others. A record that coil and should be more widely know with bags of potential to cross over. Not an easy find, available copies seem to be in US and are consequently subject to high postage and tax charges. Here’s a lovely clean copy for a little less. https://youtu.be/lfdi8AjCccQ?si=jDf3nB_3uouwfNxL E.T. White and The Great Potential Band - Loosen Up (Great Potential) Ex (Some label wear - see image) £40 You’ve done the tighten up now try the loosen up. E.T. White’s killer funk edged answer to Archie Bell and the Drells crossover classic. Tough 45, like his big ticket record, private press. Killer dance floor record. https://youtu.be/fcyGIigGptQ?si=JyjW1Xqy0SvUb7tB Bobby Dixon - Woman You Made Me (ABC Probe) Ex £50 Funk edged crossover that’s been up and down with demand in recent years (pretty sure this was £75-£100+ at one point. Plenty of legs left in it. Don’t ignore the flip either! Nice copy at a nice price! https://youtu.be/T5__YKcATis?si=EvQDnO8O9apLSIUk PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Northern/Lowrider Semi Knowns
Lyrics - Stronger Than Before (J.W.J.) Mint- £100 Not the former Keb (?) play on the same label but arguably their rarest 45. Never heard this played and not on YouTube (until I uploaded this clip). Cracking group dancer and rare as hen’s, seen this one sell at £150 + and this copy is a minter! https://youtu.be/DRZUB-qvi2s?si=W5V9h4wPQR6N7Idu Kenny Robinson And The Chessmen - Baby Say You Love Me (B.O.S.S.) Mint- £50 Killer lesser known blue eyed soul 45 that will appeal to northern and lowrider collectors (seen this comped some years ago on one of those bootleg lowrider CDs), appeared more recently on one of the Shades of Sorrow MixClouds and is certainly ‘known’ in some northern collector circles. Rarely turns up too, lovely copy. https://youtu.be/te4oTULfrtY?si=tc4r729NCXcArnHA Soft Tones - How Did I Lose/Any Street (Thereway) Mint- £50 Fabulous lowrider double sider, both of these sides got Avco releases albeit on separate 45s but here they are back to back on their original and very scarce local release.

Northern/Lowrider: Vipers on Duchess
Vipers - Little Miss Sweetness (Duchess) Ex £100 Lovely copy of this crossover/northern/lowrider favourite, a gorgeous group harmony 45 that’s quality is clear from across the board demand. Still not an easy 45 to find and this is a way from its top end price. https://youtu.be/D_YlH48-swc?si=t3ZYb37tVkI-c998 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer Northern/Lowrider: Jo Ann Garrett on Chess
Jo Ann Garrett - Whole New Plan/Stay By My Side (Chess) Vg+ (WOL some hairlines DNAP, plays strong Vg+) £150 The year is 1983 (maybe ‘84) my first visit to Top of the World Stafford and Guy Hennigan drops the topside of this covered up as The Passionettes and I am instantly in love. Purchased from the record bar less than fifteen minutes later for the princely sum of £5. Play testing this copy today brought back so many memories and reminded me of just what a superb and iconic 45 this is, sublime mid tempo soul at its very finest. The flip though is even better! A lowrider 45 that’s revered and sought after across the pond and whilst similar in style it drops the tempo to hauntingly beautiful. A fabulous double sider that still makes the hairs in the back of my neck stand up. Some hairlines and barely visible WOL (see photo) plays strong Vg+. https://youtu.be/NyUhiQ6fuiA?si=K9vMRrkZr9nEbYQk https://youtu.be/w5-GiUULhw0?si=LCpuoPavbgBBngTv PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer lowrider 45s £75 and under
Mr. B - What Would You Do/Do It (Shawn) Vg+ £75 Early 70s sweet soul bomb with a funky edge. Two great sides, seems pretty scarce and whilst it’s firmly under the radar has still been changing hands at £100+. One with a future me thinks. https://youtu.be/W33s1LOrNvk?si=f6aTCYhWqXYL6uUH https://youtu.be/AsAelKtoObQ?si=8VvT71TtnIqrk3LT Little Henry Lee - She’s A Woman (Key-Loc) Ex £50 Under the radar 45 by one time member of Sunny and the Sunliners. Revered for his ever in demand ‘Only To Be Hurt’ but this is an equally sublime piece of Chicano soul. Not an easy find especially in such lovely condition! The pick of today’s sales IMHO. https://youtu.be/aYIBw7WNpPA?si=H9TbPn8Cr8FxsI4N Electrostats Featuring Hillary McGinnis - I’m Not Gonna Hurt You No More (Three Oaks) Mint- £40 The lesser known of their two sought after lowrider 45s on the label. Couldn’t actually find this on YouTube so clip is from Sir Shambling’s superb site. For my money this is the better of the two and is comparable in terms of rarity. Currently half the going rate of their other one too, so a sound investment me thinks. https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/E/electrostats/Electrostats - I'm Not Gonna Hurt You No More (Baby Baby Baby).mp3 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Double Sided Rarity: Little Rock Coachmen on MY
Little Rock Coachmen - I’ve Had Enough/Tears Of Blue (MY) Vg+ £350 Killer double sided in demander that so very rarely comes to market. Top side is a relentless upfront funk edged garage soul dancer that’s been on top European DJs playlists for the past few years, has had RSF plays and is destined to take the wider rare soul scene by storm. Flip it for a sublime ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style garage soul ballad. One small blemish on run-in of ‘Tears’ creates a couple of lights clicks on first couple of revolutions but otherwise this plays Vg+ (clips of both sides available via DM). Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/FYlsd35yjj4?si=soMpTY0vA5wdAggh https://youtu.be/6t4Ubu2cGD8?si=ybhU40kwfl837awy PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Upfront Funk Edged Northern/R&B
Little K And His Internationals - The Squable (AW-Wilderness) Ex £150 You’ve heard the P.W. and The Stran (and maybe even the U.T.) but let me introduce you to ‘The Squable’ by Little K though not Little Stanley. Arguably as rare too, the few copies that have surfaced seem to have changed hands privately between RSF and other upfront DJs, it’s had some turntable thanks to Gospel Bob so I’m told. Has everything needed to crossover to the wider rare soul/northern scene (just listen to that intro) and when it does expect the price to comfortably double. https://youtu.be/z8apvytM2uE?si=79cbyJk2BdHWUpNt R.L. Griffin And The Pacesetters - If i Didn’t Know Better (Ride) Ex £75 Been known for some years to those in the know on the Mod/R&B scenes but just one YT upload from Callum Simpson says it’s still very much under the radar. Why oh why has this been ignored by the wider rare soul scene? Killer funk edged R&B that to me seems a perfect nighter sound and is certainly bang on for now. Tough 45 to obtain. https://youtu.be/aSrl3DJt17Y?si=bt6t8VIOOPu7Mx8- Aalon Butler And The New Breed - It’s Got To Be Something/Please Give Me One More Chance (PKC) Ex £25 The best known and most common of the three for sale, but like the above this one still feels criminally underplayed. Full on, relentless funk edged northern and do right for now. Most copies seem to have water damaged labels and apart from one small pen mark this one is as clean as you’ll ever see! Oh fabulous deep soul flip too! PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £4.00 registered and insured, £8 special delivery, Europe £9.50 tracked and signed. USA £12 tracked and signed.

Lesser known killer lowrider 45s
Mitchell Braithwaite - My Woman Needs Me/You’ve Been Long Time Comin’ (ABC Probe) Ex £50 Very, very much under the radar lowrider top side that is an absolute dagger! This one’s being slept on currently and is not an easy 45 to find either, predicting a big increase in value on this once it gets out there. Flip is more criminally under played northern but it’s the topside that does it for me. https://youtu.be/StHRG5ujQ3Q?si=pMrlMG7YpxcT1VSW https://youtu.be/bXuugq7Wtm0?si=d3FaexxDqlcb28zx Marriotts - Ooo Baby Baby/Tell It Like It Is (ABC WD) Mint- (XOL) £50 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 Electrostats Featuring Hillary McGinnis - I’m Not Gonna Hurt You No More (Three Oaks) Mint- £40 The lesser known of their two sought after lowrider 45s on the label.

**SALE**£50 and under**some real bargains here! ***10% discount on purchases of more than one 45*** Top Shelf - Let Them Keep On Talking/Stop And Listen (Spectrum) Vg+/Vg- £50 Dynamite double sider that’s been selling as high as £125 recently, sadly this copy is only Vg- on the lowrider ‘Laughing’ side (hence the price). The funky crossover flip however plays Vg+ (although ironically looks worse). Anyway, less than half price! https://youtu.be/hR6i6Hdf_oo?si=7_wf61FBAc6csiD_ https://youtu.be/94VVdkDMkQ8?si=fyCK1ovpAHbt0pAF Bobby Bennett - Go On With Your Dancing/Who’s Gonna Love You (Teardrop) Ex £40 Killer popcorn tune that rarely shows up, seen at £75 too. Don’t ignore the mid tempo early soul flip either. https://youtu.be/p9cqY2z35yo?si=Tdra7DwYKwEqZqlC https://youtu.be/rP8CxGCzcas?si=7ZT003k5meU3kQSc Charles Trent - Old Man Mose (Del Fi) strong Vg (plays close to Vg+ ***HEAR IT***) WOL £20 Killer R&B dancer that’s far from common although seems somewhat under the radar so still affordable. This is about half price as it looks Vg but plays strong after some light crackle on intro (hear for yourself, clip below from actual 45). https://youtube.com/shorts/EdUlGmbunnY?si=oG3Q_r2JpxEVfEck Richard Brown - Sweet And Kind/Don’t Listen To The Grapevine (Steeltown) Mint- £20 Another fabulous double sider this. Sweet had Stafford plays and still sounds great to me with across the board appeal, flip has had less exposure but is a great funky edged northern dancer. https://youtu.be/ayqBxlCNCeY?si=2Ct_IQMi4BRXkEIi https://youtu.be/KLn8Xa-jgyw?si=En_q2GPAl_pv2z9M Bleu Lights - A Lonely Man’s Prayer (Bay Sound) Mint- £10 Probably the cheapest lowrider 45 you can buy but it’s still quality through and through, not rare, not in demand and not expensive. https://youtu.be/6SLvU0yYblw?si=qS-UdeqbZTVyR7Dv PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

More killer lowrider 45s
Enchanters - I Should Be Loving You/Hide And Seek (Delta Ltd) Vg+ (XOL) £150 Sublime lowrider topside that has catapulted the price to way over £200 on recent sales. This one looks very clean but there are one or two occasional spots of very light crackle (hence the lower than current value price). Flip it for a cracking uptempo R&B group sound that’s criminally underplayed. https://youtu.be/HSQBfZQz9p4?si=IazZ6wRDhf6Uxsd3 https://youtu.be/jb9TwvuegWg?si=eSaZ8aG42tVWt8lu Ulti-mations - Without You/Would I Do It Over (Mar-V-Lus) Mint- £60 Another that has leaped in value in recent times thanks to demand for the gorgeous sweet group harmony side. Flip it for mid tempo Stafford heaven, still woefully underplayed. Seen at £80 and rising, gorgeous copy! https://youtu.be/fwWNB7HNIQg https://youtu.be/iLngrMOGBvM Fred Martin & Revue - When I Am Alone/Sugar (Ru-Jac) Vg+ £75 Another fabulous deepie from Fred on the same label as his better known ‘Take Me Back Again’. Lesser known it may be but it’s right up there in terms of quality with recent sales in a similar price range and rarity equally comparable. Great 45. https://youtu.be/Va4TAMWWMPs?si=IDVVQ68r3pbLnlVO Electrostats Featuring Hillary McGinnis - I’m Not Gonna Hurt You No More (Three Oaks) Mint- £50 The lesser known of their two sought after lowrider 45s on the label.

Killer Lowrider In Demanders
Doc & Sal - Laugh To Keep From Crying/Can’t Get You Offa My Mind (Dynamic) Mint- £200 On Stunning Texas double sider here and despite the label a pretty rare 45 too. Lowrider demand has driven the price up significantly in recent years with recent Discogs and eBay sales hitting £250+ and IMHO its got a way to go before it hits a natural high. Lovely copy this too! Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/t0EwPlmhaEk?si=9Bcm3LdI5CpXAyAJ https://youtu.be/_mP-OlwCIeY?si=Nqdo8V8AVf_RBrwh Fred Martin & Revue - When I Am Alone/Sugar (Ru-Jac) Vg+ £100 Another fabulous deepie from Fred on the same label as his better known ‘Take Me Back Again’. Lesser known it may be but it’s right up there in terms of quality with recent sales in a similar price range and rarity equally comparable. Great 45. https://youtu.be/Va4TAMWWMPs?si=IDVVQ68r3pbLnlVO Sunday Williams - You’ve Hurt Me Now/That’s What You Want (Red Balloon) Ex (some light label damage) £75 Sunday (Williams) of ‘Ain’t Got Any Problems’/‘Where Did He Come From’ fame’s other 45 and it’s just as good! Like her Alteen/Chess outing you get a northern side and a lowrider side for your money. Pretty tough 45 this that rarely seems to come to market and like the above prices hitting £90+ thanks to lowrider demand. Shares a backing track with something else that escapes my memory for now. Both sides under the radar still so investment as well as enjoyment opportunity here. https://youtu.be/mI-PQwt6jjw?si=flovW6OnHExCWlze https://youtu.be/hiXYL4LRPWQ?si=B6s6vW1pBzHv4OSS PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Garage Soul/Funk Edged Banger: Jimmy Angel
Jimmy Angel - Soul’s The Name, Love’s The Game/Memphis Train (Avco Embassy) Ex (N.B. some gentle crackle here and there on ‘Soul’s The Name’ side as per other copies) £150 Killer twofer, pounding funk edged garage soul double sider here. Demos are plenty but the only way to obtain the phenomenal ‘Soul’s The Name…’ is via the issue and copies are as rare as hen’s! Had some exposure thanks to Brian Maguire but there are so few of these that n anyone’s hands that it’s been an exclusive as far as I know for a while (seems all play with some crackles here and there, this copy is identical to Brian’s YT clip and he’s confirmed his looks Mint- like this copy, may explain its rarity). Flip is still a killer in demander, a similarly storming slab of funk edged garage.

Mega rare and not too long ago covered up, this funk edged R&B/Blues dancer that has had plays from the likes of Mark Forest, Henning Borm and Andy Dyson. Rare as hen’s teeth especially in this shape (one small DNAP scuff mark away from Mint-), a Vg- sold on here a few weeks back for around £300 so this feels like a steal for a 45 that’s still relatively unknown to most and still on upfront playlists across Europe.

Killer Blue-Eyed Lowrider Rarity
Casinos - Please Love Me (President) Ex £75 Under the radar (maybe because it’s a hard one on a major (Fraternity in US) stunning, blue eyed lowrider ballad just waiting to take off. A tough 45 to locate on its US label but almost impossible on UK President (first copy I’ve seen) so once it’s out there demand and price will inevitably increase.

Bank Holiday ***SALE*** Rough but Tough Bargains
Bank Holiday ***SALE*** Rough but Tough Bargains Errol Chandler - What Have I Done (Power-Pac) Vg- £40 (priced accordingly ***HEAR IT***) Stunning and virtually unknown mid tempo crossover/northern rarity that really stands out - incredible that 45s like this are still out there and under exposed. Can only find a couple of recorded sales on Discogs, none on Popsike and none on any of the FB groups. Power-Pac was an imprint label of Scram out of New Orleans with a few high end rarities to its name. Sold a mint one to a very well known DJ a while back for £200. This copy is Vg- some ghosting on vinyl May clean up, some light crackle but still a decent 45 for the price. ***HEAR IT*** https://youtube.com/shorts/MD2jvqUp648?si=iE5PSlPQ1_OE604s Charles Trent - Old Man Mose (Del Fi) strong Vg (plays close to Vg+ ***HEAR IT***) WOL £30 Rockin’ R&B dancer that’s far from common although seems somewhat under the radar so still affordable. This is about half price as it looks Vg but plays strong after some light crackle on intro (hear for yourself, clip below from actual 45). https://youtube.com/shorts/EdUlGmbunnY?si=oG3Q_r2JpxEVfEck Bob Marshall and the Crystals - Never Seen A Girl Like You (L-Rev) Vg- (plays Vg+) £15 Looks rough, plays tough (hear for yourself clip below from actual 45). Some serious marks on this but totally DNAP! Like all of Bob’s output this has a great, right for now, Garage/R&B type sound. Under the radar currently but with the right exposure and current tastes could well increase In demand and price. https://youtube.com/shorts/mq1arN7DuOI?si=46UmhLHWDTlWkhwE Bill Morgan & The Rubber Band - Old Woman (Brown Hat) G+ ***HEAR IT*** £15 Killer funk edged R&B that is so right for now. Rarest of the bunch but sadly the poorest condition wise, multiple marks and crackle (hear for yourself on clip below). Very very tough 45 to obtain though, priced accordingly. https://youtu.be/BTw-pXQTth8?si=yYC2m2TZyUwt6PC3 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Upfront, funk edged bangers
Sensational Bells Of Joy -Lord Take My Hand (Sensational Sound) Ex £100 Monster funk edged gospel dancer, a former spin for Michele Coco in Europe but still relatively unknown outside ‘those in the know’. Rare as hen’s like so many of the private press gospel 45s. https://youtu.be/OgL39fHYXVg?si=zCwK31a27VljABb- Gene Graham - You Can’t Change Me (Checker) strong Vg (plays Vg+) £125 Last copy I had of this few out at £200 and was only a few hairlines better condition wise. Very tough number on the label and what a 45! Killer semi-known uptempo funk edged R&B about to get some serious turntable action from those RSF DJs! Only a couple of YouTube clips but with barely any hits. A chance to be ahead of the game with this one! https://youtu.be/14WjDTBIdNA?si=qDRBTN_YrlYdajNd Bill Morgan & The Rubber Band - Old Woman (Brown Hat) G+ ***HEAR IT*** £25 Killer funk edged R&B that is so right for now.

Killer Lowrider 45s
Casinos - Please Love Me (President) Ex £100 Under the radar (maybe because it’s a hard one on a major (Fraternity in US) stunning, blue eyed lowrider ballad just waiting to take off. A tough 45 to locate on its US label but almost impossible on UK President (first copy I’ve seen) so once it’s out there demand and price will inevitably increase. Given the interest in this type of sound currently this is a sound investment. https://youtu.be/9WOYJQb2rQk Contrails - Make Me Love You/Feel So Fine (Millage) Mint- £50 Stunning copy of this increasingly hard to find garage soul double sider. Killer Shades of Sorrow style lowrider topside with a cracking lesser known northern dancer on the flip. Two sides both right for now. Bargain. https://youtu.be/vd-lok502xc?si=BkBMRQUrOHSnqWrt https://youtu.be/V7EduRbHxYE?si=NAdGUAOI070_3OCm Insights - Turn Me On Sweet Rosie/Love And Peace Of Mind (Peacock) Ex £35 How is a double sider of this quality this cheap? Time side is a storming slab of funk edged northern that’s perfect for now and yet still seems under the radar. Flip it for a gorgeous lowrider ballad. Watch the price on this way climb once word gets out! https://youtu.be/2YKbUn_HbPs https://youtu.be/XFwjKpHfjkU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Blue-Eyed Northern Bangers
The Confusions - Sad Souvenirs (King Solomon) Mint- £250 Glorious Garage Soul version of the Four Tops, had plays from the likes of Mike Umholtz in the US, still seems under the radar in the UK and Europe. Very rare 45 with most copies coming from band members themselves all of which are now in collections. Enormous potential to cross over to the wider northern scene this, what price then!? https://youtu.be/0FdOtAOEa4A?si=AMqiaOCIvVPpY7_Z The Off-Beats - Tired Of Crying (Rhythm) Vg (plays strong Vg) £125 Killer upfront Garage Soul dancer that’s a damn hard to find 45! Only had one of these before and that was beat! This copy looks rough plays tough, fine for DJ’ing. Big future for this one too, rarity has probably held it back slightly but has all the ingredients to join the likes of The Fads as a big ticket 45. You won’t find a copy of this 45 easily, don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/Zn3JHHpN1hg?si=TwWAl5ZpxhRaA_AC The Marlins -Don’t You Know (Camaro) Vg+ £125 Wonderful barely known blue eyed group harmony dancer that sounds like the type sound Gary Rushbrook or Keb would have been playing early 80s. Not sure if it’s ever had any real exposure this one, like most of its stable mates it’s a rare 45 so maybe that’s held it back. https://youtu.be/63RV9zB9AFM?si=mWjD2rBSrdTCYY4o PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Upfront, funk edged Checker bangers
Gene Graham - You Can’t Change Me (Checker) strong Vg (plays Vg+) £125 Last copy I had of this few out at £200 and was only a few hairlines better condition wise. Very tough number on the label and what a 45! Killer semi-known uptempo funk edged R&B about to get some serious turntable action from those RSF DJs! Only a couple of YouTube clips but with barely any hits. A chance to be ahead of the game with this one! https://youtu.be/norTMhOZFCY?si=_FOdZwXOsNMVJEeT Knight Bros. - That’ll Get It (Checker) Mint- £25 If you don’t know this, it’s going to blow you away. Not rare, not expensive but one of their lesser known outings and absolutely bang on for now. Driving funk edged soul that’s recently appeared on a couple of RSF playlists including one Mr Maguire. I promise you this one is going to rise in demand and price. https://youtu.be/norTMhOZFCY?si=_FOdZwXOsNMVJEeT Soul Stirrers - Striving (Checker) Mint- £25 Last couple of these I’ve had have flown out! Killer funky gospel that still seems to be under the radar, can only find the one YouTube clip below, so not widely known and not expensive (yet) but ‘Don’t You Worry’ was cheap once! https://youtu.be/3-VHFRzcO1w PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer Lowrider In Demanders
Clifford Binns - Take It From Me/You’ve Got To Help Me (Carrie Green Issue) Vg+ (small TOL of ‘Help Me’ side) £100 Could have sold five of these in first half hour of listing my last copy so don’t think this will hang around! Impossible to find on its first issue orange label, this is now the only realistic way of owning the stunning double sider. ‘You’ve Got To Help Me’ needs little introduction from me, a classy northern classic that still packs a punch for me. The flip ‘Take It From Me’ will be less familiar to most but don’t ignore this lowrider in demander it’s every bit as good as the flip and with demand increasing for this type of sound the price is only going one way. Lovely clean copy. https://youtu.be/UhnInG-TA8A https://youtu.be/KIXFbSgPfNo Sensations - Please Baby Please (Way Out) Ex £75 Notoriously hard to find in anything above VG, this is lovely copy! Mesmerising group harmony lowrider that grips you from the opening bars. Has sold for £100 in Mint-, priced this one to sell. Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/UotwjZq5oE8 Festivals - You’ve Got The Makings Of A Lover/High Wide And Handsome (Smash) Ex £75 Gorgeous In demand lowrider group harmony that’s been selling way above this price recently and for good reason. Flip it for a forgotten northern oldie that shouldn’t be ignored. https://youtu.be/pSGTPp0NvWA https://youtu.be/nK5nz_JBGw4 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.
