Gorgeous Lowrider ‘Cheapies’
Augustine Twins (Don & Ron) - Everyday Of My Life/My Place (Duke) Ex £75 Killer Texas (just wait for those Texan horns) lowrider that seems less well known on this side of the Atlantic. Recent sales have seen this be on the move so maybe the word is spreading (or US demand is still driving the price). Don’t ignore the dancer flip either! Doesn’t show in nice condition often. https://youtu.be/CW0KnKeN2_g?si=X9L-VOggGPupaeJb https://youtu.be/3qW_kd7q-mo?si=DFXxTogh2WlToFVh Solid Solution - This Must Be Love/Think About It Girl (Soul O Sonic) Mint- £60 Better known (in the UK at least) for the modern anthem flip side ‘Think About It Girl’ but the ballad flip is stunning. No matter which side you drop the needle on those vocals are killer! https://youtu.be/5soSVElNBdg?si=sp6WzvIPgNq711un https://youtu.be/iQzD10Mtlkk?si=p4W6UUNYtZtYDYFV Nialations - I’ll Take You Just As You Come (BRC Demo S/M versions) Ex £55 Sublime seventies sweet soul (classy bit of alliteration there too LOL), lots of demand stateside for this amongst the lowrider collectors and rightly so. My last copy flew out at £55 and I’ve seen sell at £75 more recently, great copy. (N.B. This is the demo so has Mono/Stereo versions on both sides and does not include the crossover cut ‘Every Time’ or it would be three times the price). https://youtu.be/o4X9AkWTUEs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Rare Northern: Paul ‘Guitar Red’ Johnson on Kellmac
Paul ‘Guitar Red’ Johnson - That I Love You (Kellmac) Ex £175 I had so many enquiries for this one last time I had a copy, clearly people are beginning to wake up to the enormous potential and rarity of this killer chugging mid tempo slab of dirty northern R&B that will have its day (maybe that day has finally come). One of the hardest on the label and certainly the least known. Was a c/up for Keb Darge in the halcyon days of Stafford but like do many it had a few plays before being dropped and has never surfaced since. Last one I had could’ve sold multiple times and am told £150 was too cheap given its quality and rarity so I’m very put this one a tiny amount. Don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/CLxPxIXv3pk PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Groovy Garage Bangers and Ballads
Danny’s Reasons - With One Eye Closed/Thinking Of You (Hand) Mint- £225 Dynamite double sider alert. Top side fuzzed out psych/funk banger that’s had plays on RSF and in the US/Europe. Flip it for a killer blue eyed ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style lowrider that’s still relatively under the radar. Hard record to find and seen at £300 recently. https://youtu.be/4sKPGUr8d0k?si=7qRQUndNOG2P_Gi- https://youtu.be/j9y5zdrSWRo?si=ouf_ACnhpD96mjsN Soul Brothers - My Love For You/Those Magic Words (Gold Chip) Vg+ £150 There’s rare and then there’s stoooopid rare and this falls into the latter category. Also released under the guise of The Charles Marlborough Group on yellow vinyl (and you probably won’t ever see one of those!) only lack of demand thanks to being relatively unknown outside those in the know stopping this from being big money. A chance to own an almost exclusive double sider that sounds bang on for now. https://youtu.be/wO29ar-GeeQ?si=MrH0B_bnGhZCdUNi https://youtu.be/duB2W4dnj7g?si=wNNkwrQHPjMV_5Cu Mauds - You Made Me Feel So Bad (Mercury) Vg+ £40 Reliably informed this killer slab of garage soul has had plays in ‘90s and here and there since and yet has still to crossover to the wider northern scene. This honestly blew me away when I first heard it, garage soul at it’s very best and still cheap (well for now)! If you don’t like this then there’s little hope for you 😂 https://youtu.be/tdvDbBN3EvY Original Misty Hush - Tell Me Baby (Dynamic) Vg+ £50 Killer ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style blue eyed ballad, that could well end up a high value 45 once the lowrider crowd get to hear it. A chance to get one cheap before it ends up silly money- it certainly has all the ingredients to! https://youtu.be/W87NCGRykc4?si=n_t7lJ6SDyP9M9L6 PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Lowrider/Northern Rarity: Flint Emeralds (Coconut Groove
Flint Emeralds - Is It All A Bad Dream/You Don’t Know That I Love You (Coconut Groove) Ex £300 Double sided dynamite! Gorgeous lowrider topside that’s driving the big price surge on this one (last three decent copies have been over £300 on Discogs, with a vg selling at £266 recently). Flip is a criminally underplayed dancer that’s has some exposure on the continent and at some of the more upfront venues. Lovely copy. https://youtu.be/M1u0mPdDwIk?si=k0BRnNrNAqO7wNzo https://youtu.be/8PDtoOfIYgo?si=mKQkrLrjqIpZS9WI PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Lowrider daggers for £50 and under!
Bobby Wade - Can’t You Hear Me Calling/Four Walls One Window (Way Out) Vg+ £50 Killer lowrider double sider that, despite its more common later release on Deluxe, has seen prices hitting £75+ for copies on Way Out. A decent play copy with some light surface marks but seems to have dried up on Way Out due to US demand https://youtu.be/Jqpz1mL-Kg0?si=-hDJLUMXH0v8livD https://youtu.be/QHVf6lA1Irc?si=3YrPvBmOonAnHwIM Music City Soul Brothers - Looking For My Baby/Something In My Eye (Music City) Vg+ (title crossed out in biro on one side see image) £35 Wow! Pick of the batch for me, two great sides of lowrider group harmony but it’s the R&B tinged ‘Looking For My Baby’ that is a stone cold killer. If this record were rare the price would hit the roof! The best £35 record currently in FB! https://youtu.be/kuJk91rCKM4?si=eBPKNozggmVRxBal https://youtu.be/6Po9NTAtwkI?si=3vxhPyE7nLpWBs_U Deltones - How I Wish (Teen) Vg+ £50 Can’t believe this hasn’t sold already seen at £150 before now, last reduction before I keep it! Better known for his in demand rarity ‘Gray Skies’, this is Mike Lundy and The Deltones only other recording (even the flip is an entirely different group) and like the aforementioned 45 this is another killer blue eyed lowrider ballad out of Hawaii. Rare one! https://youtu.be/o5npL9z6sXY PayPal as friends and family or add 4%. Postage UK £8 special delivery registered and insured, Europe £8.95 tracked and signed. USA £12.95 tracked.

Bargain Bangers & Ballads £50 and under!
Joyce Kennedy - The Hi Fi Albums And I (Blue Rock) Ex £50 Had a multitude of requests for this on the last couple of occasions I listed it and it’s no surprise! What a tune this is! Blue Rock big beat backing on the killer slab of deep with a beat. Starting to get interest on the lowrider circuit but remains for now under the radar and not common by any means! Expect this one to climb in price steeply. https://youtu.be/YGdV5OhT_cQ Billy Sha-Rae - I’m Gone (Spectrum) Ex £50 In demand funk edged version of Eddie Parker’s seminal northern monster. Maroon (first press), prices going up and up on this last year or so and last few I’ve seen have been £100! Lovely copy close to Mint. https://youtu.be/nR6cpCiB_CY?si=iF05rGqtSgEnsEMo Deltones - How I Wish (Teen) Vg+ £50 Can’t believe this hasn’t sold already seen at £150 before now, last reduction before I keep it! Better known for his in demand rarity ‘Gray Skies’, this is Mike Lundy and The Deltones only other recording (even the flip is an entirely different group) and like the aforementioned 45 this is another killer blue eyed lowrider ballad out of Hawaii. Rare one! https://youtu.be/o5npL9z6sXY Alan David - Aware Of Love (UK Decca) Ex (centre missing) £35 Wonderful UK only (?) blue eyed version of this superb Mayfield/Butler composition. Demand still high for the killer Embers take but here’s a different but equally good take. Some plays on the Popcorn scene but not widely known as far as I’m aware (of love 😂). Seen at £100+ so this is an absolute bargain! https://youtu.be/0aMN1oTcmBM?si=kUHfkzHqJ3AZed1Y Little Tommy Payton - Once In My Life / Once Again My Girl Has Gone (Harvest) Ex £40 Mega rare kiddie soul ballad, only recently uploaded to YouTube with a flip that’s equally as good and yet to make its online debut. Very tough 45 to acquire (seen at £150-£200) a nice clean copy here for what’s a relatively cheap price given this record’s rarity. https://youtu.be/sutymut9CZU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Lowrider Daggers: Rare & In Demand
Fred Parris and the Restless Hearts - I’ll Be Hanging On/I Can Really Satisfy (Green-Sea) Mint- £350 One of THE must have lowrider group harmony 45s. Like so many other previously ignored, tape swapper and collector 45s (remember this from Stafford?) this one finally getting its time in the limelight thanks to demand from lowrider collectors. Very few records can match the impact this bomb has when it drops, price has risen steeply and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. Lovely copy, don’t sleep. P.S. don’t ignore the criminally underplayed dancer on the flip! https://youtu.be/z4Ihnh8AaKI https://youtu.be/ByuVDqzaeUw Sabres - It’s All In Your Mind (Prince) Ex £300 Absolute killing blue eyed lowrider 45 that’s on everyone’s wants list! An inferior copy went through eBay a couple of weeks ago at $400 and it does not show often! A stunner and one from my personal collection. Shocking finances force reluctant sale. Don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/8O8vSeynakw?si=oG6DZNh5PqxtegtV Deltones - How I Wish (Teen) Vg+ £75 Better known for his in demand rarity ‘Gray Skies’, this is Mike Lundy and The Deltones only other recording (even the flip is an entirely different group) and like the aforementioned 45 this is another killer blue eyed lowrider ballad out of Hawaii.

Blue Rock big beat backing on the killer slab of deep with a beat. Starting to get interest on the lowrider circuit but remains for now under the radar and not common by any means!

Upfront Bangers & Ballads
Tru Tones - La La La La La (Spot) Vg+ £100 Infectious under the radar garage soul/R&B that is damn hard to find! One play and you’ll be hooked, sounds perfect for today’s dance floors, had some plays thanks to the likes of Thomas Shore but will be new to most. Last copy I had went privately to a well known DJ down south. https://youtu.be/9HDDaYS-gsA?si=P0RAidD6PVyCm6rd Deltones - How I Wish (Teen) Vg+ £100 Better known for his in demand rarity ‘Gray Skies’, this is Mike Lundy and The Deltones only other recording (even the flip is an entirely different group) and like the aforementioned 45 this is another killer blue eyed lowrider ballad out of Hawaii.

Upfront Bangers & Ballads
Curtis Davis - Somebody/Your Love And My Money (Bev-Mar) Vg+ £100 (one small mark that creates a tiny tick on ‘Somebody’ side the only thing stopping this being Ex) I’ll probably regret this in six months because this is a relatively under the radar lowrider bomb just waiting to go off! That intro is just so fucking good. Flip it for a drum heavy funk edged slab of R&B that is simply perfect for today’s upfront dance floors. Big US lowrider dealer has one on Cogs at at over £200 but he’s probably a few months ahead with that price, rest assured though this will be a £300+ 45 once it gets heard more widely. https://youtu.be/jW76ttvkj-A https://youtu.be/MA3-1oN8xf8 Otis Lee - I Wanna Be Loved (Quaint) Mint- £150 Boom! Killer moody R&B beat ballad and SO MUCH RARER than ‘Hard Row’ (better too IMHO) and a tenth of the price! Seems relatively unknown outside of Popcorn collectors, lovely copy first one I’ve seen in ten years of looking too. https://youtu.be/8BUoGw234WU?si=qwe6Wwi9lw4ynQLk Rapscallions - Sugar Woman (Memphis Sound) Ex (water damage on label as with most copies) £40 Fantastic garage soul/R&B dancer and a perfect example of a sound that’s growing in popularity across Europe and beyond at more upfront venues. A recent addition to FonSol’s incredible YouTube channel and one that instantly made me want a copy. Thanks to a US contact I managed to get three more copies (the first three flew out) and I only one left from this batch as the others went private sale! Looks like there’s a big future for this one. Clip I think is recorded at +4. https://youtu.be/qNp1Uqq49Jw Billy Sha-Rae - I’m Gone (Spectrum) Ex £100 In demand funk edged version of Eddie Parker’s seminal northern monster.

Tough 45 on Date, very rare on this, it’s first label. Great copy. https://youtu.be/9lNgi9ro7EE?si=g7d2cYZC8yhkOdsf Skunks - I Recommend Her (World Pacific) Mint- (company sleeve) £30 Banging garage soul, not sure anyone’s on this one yet so a chance to get in at an entry level price before they all disappear!

So, so hard to find in anything but beaten up condition on either this or its second issue on Chess. Last Mint- on Discogs making over £300 (Chess copy) and £275 for a Vg+ on Alteen .Top side massive lowrider in demander that’s pushed the price of clean copies to crazy levels, flip it for some superior northern.

Garage Soul bangers
Romans - He Don’t Love You (MY) Vg (plays strong) £40 Sold my last one for £150 in decent condition, this plays pretty clean though with some label wear). Had a bit of exposure in Europe but barely any here, fabulous garage soul/R&B on a very collectible label. https://youtu.be/BI9W3fZdVEw Romans - You Do Something To Me Vg+ (lower end but clean play copy) £50 The second of their three releases on the label and lesser know than the one above. But another brilliant R&B enthused slab of garage soul that sounds right for now. Tough one too like most on MY, last copy I had was mint and sold privately for £100. https://youtu.be/a34kbOyfe5w Rapscallions - Sugar Woman (Memphis Sound) Ex (water damage on label as with most copies) £35 Fantastic garage soul/R&B dancer and a perfect example of a sound that’s growing in popularity across Europe and beyond at more upfront venues. A recent addition to FonSol’s incredible YouTube channel and one that instantly made me want a copy.

Lowrider cheapies: £75 and under!
Buddy Wright & his Orchestra - Foolish Things/Tears On My Pillow (Jemal) Vg+ (couple of marks shy of Ex) £75 Killer double hitter! I prefer the haunting ‘Foolish Things’ personally but both sides are sublime. Also released on Uptown but this is the first issue and both are hard to find especially in decent condition. Not that widely known and on the way up so who knows how much in 12 month’s time! https://youtu.be/_Wy-7TcHzzY https://youtu.be/00F_THXG_jM E.G. Taylor and the Sounds of Soul - Pick Yourself Up/You Made Me Mad (Val) Mint- £45 Another fantastic double sider, topside is yet another under the radar lowrider cut that’s as good as anything you’ll hear for double the price, flip it for some relatively unknown storming northern worthy of some exposure. https://youtu.be/Gd6zTHlRmRE https://youtu.be/WghkNG6ISsE Donn Alimingo (AKA Donn and The Delighters) Pretty Black Girl (Black Beauty) Ex £50 AKA Donn and The Delighters, AKA Donald Jenkins and The Delighters! Here’s an opportunity to own a genuine under the radar rarity that simply never surfaces at arguably a fraction of what it should go for! Stunning sweet soul ballad that I’ve only seen in the late great Bob Abraham’s collection (a WD credited to Donn and The Delighters - where the only YouTube clip is from). Here is the issue copy, seen fewer than five times on eBay and Discogs and credited to Donn Alimingo. All the copies listed on Popsike have the stick on stars on the label (or residue from them) so these I assume were officially added after pressing. A very rare 45. https://youtu.be/Ctc_PD1eFIQ Aaron Neville - She Took You For A Ride (Parlo) Mint- £25 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!

Killer Lowrider 45s
Moments of Truth - I’ll Step Aside (Toi) Mint- £250 Under the radar, rare and oh soooo good lowrider group harmony. One listen and you’ll fall for this majestic ballad. Going up in price this is cheaper than the last couple through Discogs and in super clean condition! Never mind don’t sleep I wouldn’t blink! https://youtu.be/qy4hEYEbKYc Donn Alimingo (AKA Donn and The Delighters) Pretty Black Girl (Black Beauty) Ex £75 AKA Donn and The Delighters, AKA Donald Jenkins and The Delighters!

A very rare 45. https://youtu.be/Ctc_PD1eFIQ Faces – I Didn’t Want Her (Regina) Mint- £75 Killer blue eyed lowrider group harmony. Seems to be exceptionally rare given the tiny number through eBay and Discogs, pretty much totally under the radar too (except to one or two of the Popcorn collectors), but it’s recent upload to M818joker’s incredibly popular YouTube channel is likely to change that. Bargain, last copy I had sold at £125 and that was WD, not seen a blue issue before! https://youtu.be/bgwDsYqlHlw Fidelics - Lovers In The Park/I Love You Baby (Rising-Sun) Vg+ £40 Glorious under the radar lowrider group harmony that rarely turns up for sale!

Opportunity to be ahead of the rest – my last copy. https://youtu.be/hlL4D8ybT4I Romans - He Don’t Love You (MY) Vg (plays strong) £75 Sold my last one for £150 in decent condition, this plays pretty clean though with some label wear). Had a bit of exposure in Europe but barely any here, fabulous garage soul/R&B on a very collectible label. https://youtu.be/BI9W3fZdVEw Romans - You Do Something To Me Vg+ (lower end but clean play copy) £50 The second of their three releases on the label and lesser know than the one above. But another brilliant R&B enthused slab of garage soul that sounds right for now. Tough one too like most on MY, last copy I had was mint and sold privately for £100. https://youtu.be/a34kbOyfe5w Rapscallions - Sugar Woman (Memphis Sound) Ex (water damage on label as with most copies) £35 Fantastic garage soul/R&B dancer and a perfect example of a sound that’s growing in popularity across Europe and beyond at more upfront venues. A recent addition to FonSol’s incredible YouTube channel and one that instantly made me want a copy. Thanks to a US contact I have a very small number of clean vinyl copies so doing them as cheap as I can. First come, first served. Clip I think is recorded at +4. https://youtu.be/qNp1Uqq49Jw PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Pay Day Lowrider Grails
Fabulous Performers - Oh How You Hurt Me/Think About It (Blackjack) Mint- £400 Stunning double sider that never shows, especially in this condition! Absolute killer lowrider top side that’s on pretty much everyone’s wants list coupled with a lesser known funk edged group sound that wouldn’t sound out of place in a current upfront set. Gorgeous condition - don’t sleep. https://youtu.be/6_iUVnMbx1I https://youtu.be/TNLPbHU2txY Donn Alimingo - Pretty Black Girl (Black Beauty) Ex £100 AKA Donn and The Delighters, AKA Donald Jenkins and The Delighters! Here’s an opportunity to own a genuine under the radar rarity that simply never surfaces at arguably a fraction of what it should go for! Stunning sweet soul ballad that I’ve only seen in the late great Bob Abraham’s collection (a WD credited to Donn and The Delighters - where the only YouTube clip is from). Here is the issue copy, seen fewer than five times on eBay and Discogs and credited to Donn Alimingo. All the copies listed on Popsike have the stick on stars on the label (or residue from them) so these I assume were officially added after pressing. A very rare 45. https://youtu.be/Ctc_PD1eFIQ Faces – I Didn’t Want Her (Regina) Mint- £75 Killer blue eyed lowrider group harmony. Seems to be exceptionally rare given the tiny number through eBay and Discogs, pretty much totally under the radar too (except to one or two of the Popcorn collectors), but it’s recent upload to M818joker’s incredibly popular YouTube channel is likely to change that. Bargain, last copy I had sold at £125 and that was WD, not seen a blue issue before! https://youtu.be/bgwDsYqlHlw Fidelics - Lovers In The Park/I Love You Baby (Rising-Sun) Vg+ £50 Glorious under the radar lowrider group harmony that rarely turns up for sale! Flip it for an infectious slab of group harmony northern that’s rarely if ever heard out. Cracking little 45 that should be more expensive than it is! https://youtu.be/mQph3KvL0UA https://youtu.be/9T_gauWWJ9c PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

More killer lowrider ballads
Delacardos - Got No One/She’s The One I Love (Atlantic) Ex £50 Haunting lowrider ballad that if it were not for a major label release would be very rare indeed AND very expensive! Been rising steadily last couple of years with stop sale of £65 on Cogs. Don’t ignore the overlooked upbeat northern flip side either! Lovely copy. https://youtu.be/i1cboIplpM0 https://youtu.be/llvmfVXbAFg Faces – I Didn’t Want Her (Regina) Mint- £100 Killer blue eyed lowrider group harmony. Seems to be exceptionally rare given the tiny number through eBay and Discogs, pretty much totally under the radar too (except to one or two of the Popcorn collectors), but it’s recent upload to M818joker’s incredibly popular YouTube channel is likely to change that. Bargain, don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/bgwDsYqlHlw Fidelics - Lovers In The Park/I Love You Baby (Rising-Sun) Vg+ £50 Glorious under the radar lowrider group harmony that rarely turns up for sale! Flip it for an infectious slab of group harmony northern that’s rarely if ever heard out. Cracking little 45 that should be more expensive than it is! https://youtu.be/mQph3KvL0UA https://youtu.be/9T_gauWWJ9c Danny Harris and The Peacemakers - Never Endings (Cleo) Mint- (had two of these and both have had some background noise so assume pressing fault) £30 Lovely unknown (?) psych soul lowrider ballad that seems pretty scarce (I wonder if it is a pressing fault that might explain the scarcity). https://youtu.be/WsVaI0GMAg0 Little Tommy Payton - Once In My Life / Once Again My Girl Has Gone (Harvest) Ex £75 Mega rare kiddie soul ballad, only recently uploaded to YouTube with a flip that’s equally as good and yet to make its online debut. Very tough 45 to acquire (seen at £150-£200) a nice clean copy here for what’s a relatively cheap price given this record’s rarity. https://youtu.be/sutymut9CZU PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Under the Radar Lowrider/Crossover 45s
Faces – I Didn’t Want Her (Regina) Mint- £125 Killer blue eyed lowrider group harmony. Seems to be exceptionally rare given the tiny number through eBay and Discogs, pretty much totally under the radar too (except to one or two of the Popcorn collectors), but it’s recent upload to M818joker’s incredibly popular YouTube channel is likely to change that. Bargain, don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/bgwDsYqlHlw Fidelics - Lovers In The Park/I Love You Baby (Rising-Sun) Vg+ £65 Glorious under the radar lowrider group harmony that rarely turns up for sale! Flip it for an infectious slab of group harmony northern that’s rarely if ever heard out. Cracking little 45 that should be more expensive than it is! https://youtu.be/mQph3KvL0UA https://youtu.be/9T_gauWWJ9c Odds and Ends - Let Me Try (Today) Ex £40 Killer crossover/sweet soul tune that like those above has been rising steadily over recent times, seen sell at £60+ and this is more or less Mint- lovely copy. https://youtu.be/Ab95nNHp1pA Joyce Kennedy - The Hi Fi Albums And I (Blue Rock) VG (lots of hairlines but plays Vg+) £25 Ooof! What a tune this is! Had a nice Ex copy a week or so ago and could have sold it five times at £50 and will not be seen at that price again! Blue Rock big beat backing on the killer slab of deep with a beat. Starting to get interest on the lowrider circuit but remains for now under the radar and not common by any means! Expect this one to climb in price steeply. https://youtu.be/YGdV5OhT_cQ Nialations - I’ll Take You Just As You Come (BRC Demo S/M versions) VG+/VG £40 Sublime seventies sweet soul (classy bit of alliteration there too LOL), lots of demand stateside for this amongst the lowrider collectors and rightly so. My last copy flew out at £55 and I’ve seen sell at £75 more recently, the Stereo side is a nice Vg+ whilst the Mono flip has a number of hairlines and is a grade lower hence the price! (N.B. This is the demo so has Mono/Stereo versions on both sides and does not include the crossover cut ‘Every Time’ or it would be three times the price). https://youtu.be/o4X9AkWTUEs PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Killer Female Lowrider 45s
Joyce Kennedy - The Hi Fi Albums And I (Blue Rock) Ex (company sleeve) £50 Ooof! What a tune this is! Blue Rock big beat backing on the killer slab of deep with a beat. Starting to get interest on the lowrider circuit but remains for now under the radar and not common by any means! Expect this one to climb in price steeply. https://youtu.be/YGdV5OhT_cQ Shalong – Lady (Red Coach) Mint (ex-store stock) £50 Price has rocketed from £12 to £50 in a the last six months or so. Killer girl group, slightly off the beat, haunting lowrider 45. N.B. Demos are double sided and DO NOT feature ‘Lady’. https://youtu.be/dMGEwG2ZEtk Charlottia Gilbert - Falling In Love With Him (Veep WD) Vg £50 Killer lowrider cut that seems so far off the radar here, but has just enough beat to crossover. Stunning lead vocals with full on male group harmony backing. Seems a hard number on the label too, with prices the way they are for this type of sound currently and the quality of this 45 it’s a bargain.

Upfront Garage Soul Bangers and Ballads
Thee Facades – Can It Be Love c/up strong VG+ £125 Brian Maguire , Jackie Hoodoo and Michele Coco’s Facades c/up, mopped up every copy of this I could find (and that was only four) when I first heard it. Classy garage soul and rare, personally don’t think too many of these will show once it’s uncovered! https://youtu.be/icZUYdLIgzU Weekenders – Signed, Sealed And Delivered (Wayne-Way) Ex £100 BOOM! THE best version of this classic JB outing (of which there are at least three by Garage bands). Killer raw, uptempo R&B/Garage that is damn rare! Seen this at £300 and £200 before now, recently sold a copy to a well-known upfront DJ so it’s about to get some serious action. Only a very recent addition to YouTube (from that very sale). Opportunity to be ahead of the rest – my last copy. https://youtu.be/hlL4D8ybT4I Peter And The Infinits - She’s Laughing At You (Ruval) Ex £125 Killer garage/psych soul ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style ballad getting lots of lowrider interest currently. Still very much under the radar and RARE, this really should be £200+. https://youtu.be/fFkHY_QCvs4 Danny Harris and The Peacemakers - Never Endings (Cleo) Mint- (had two of these and both have had a gentle tick across the opening 30 seconds or so so assume pressing fault) £50 Lovely unknown psych soul lowrider ballad that seems pretty scarce (I wonder if it is a pressing fault that might explain the scarcity).

Lowrider Grail: IV Royals on Tahia
IV Royals - One Girl (Tahia) Vg++ OFFERS OVER £500 Very, very, very reluctant sale and would not even consider it were it not for the fact I need to raise money for essential house repairs. Took me years to find a copy of this stunning, hypnotic and mega rare lowrider group harmony 45. Just four through eBay and none through Discogs. This is a lovely clean copy, if you’re looking for a relatively exclusive sound then they don’t come much better than this - don’t sleep! https://youtu.be/HzMzVapQkS8 OFFERS INVITED ABOVE £500. Offers by PM or email to gspluck@aol.com. I’ll sell once and only if I receive an acceptable offer. PayPal as friends and family or add 4%.

Garage and Blue Eyed Lowrider Ballads
Philosophers - What Folks Would Say (Midtown Sound) Mint- £200 Beautiful ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style blue eyed lowrider ballad that’s still very much under the radar. Very ,very few copies around and those that are seem to be low grade (only a handful through eBay and Discogs). Don’t think you’ll see another in this condition any time soon! https://youtu.be/lJreLobXjdI Garner Brothers - The Night That You Left Me (Thunderbird) Mint- £50 Another fabulous and, until recently uploaded to YouTube, unknown ‘Shades of Sorrow’ style blue eyed lowrider ballad. Managed to pick up a couple of these for resale a month or so ago and both flew out with a few disappointed regulars wanting the last one. Managed to pick this up here in the UK last week! A few copies knocking around on Discogs are either low grade (and still more expensive) or are three figures! Last chance to get a copy this cheaply. https://youtu.be/0sSybzCtIdQ Danny Harris and The Peacemakers - Never Endings (Cleo) Mint- (had two of these and both have had a gentle tick across the opening 30 seconds or so so assume pressing fault) £50 Lovely unknown psych soul lowrider ballad that seems pretty scarce (I wonder if it is a pressing fault that might explain the scarcity).
