Bobby and Bobbie Fulton – Massa’s grand boy / How great thou art – Bobby Fulton Enterprises 1001 Private spiritual modern soul from Pittsburgh. Still under the radar due to sheer rarity but has what it takes to go big. Visual grade: Sleeve EX+ Vinyl M- €50 soundfile: https://picosong.com/rVHM shipping is €7 (€13 if you prefer registered shipping with tracking)

I got some spares left but down to my last few. So don't sleep!

Zuma label is affiliated to Le Cam - Soft and other Major BillSmith labels so probably released around the same time as the other issues but as John said a slightly different version. Cat n° also corresponds with the other releases on the label (although it's a pretty hectic numbering system). In other words: yes it's legit.

Sunny & Phyllis - I've got something on my mind - Zuma 655 AKA Phyllis Brown. Rare on this label and a steal at this price, especially for such a clean one. Visual grade: M- £60 Listen: https://picosong.com/UGtT/

Diggin' Dave - October 2016 Sales list Full list with pics and soundfiles: https://eepurl.com/cj2ohf The Cliffhangers – Since you’ve gone away / Showtime – K-Cea 45-6700 One of the most sought-after Carolina northern 45s out there and one spin is enough to figure out why. Plays very clean apart from a feelable scratch that’s audible during the final third of the record. Visual grade: VG- €750 The Darling Dears – I don’t think I’ll ever love another / And I love you – Flower City 729 What can I say about this record that hasn’t been said yet… Three minutes and forty nine seconds of pure face melting breaks and harmonies. An essential one in my book and only letting this gobecause it’s my (only spare) Visual grade: Strong VG+ €600 Jeryl Brazil – Mean that much / I’ll miss you – Gold Meyn NR 16386 Ultra rare mid-tempo modern boogie. Cool synths and a way better production than you’d expect from a private release from this era. You will not find a cleaner copy. Visual grade: M- €250 Calvin and Clarence – I wanna dance (but I don’t know how) / Money and women – Fairlane 21003 ‘Money and Women’ is a cool driving R&B dancer but ‘I Wanna Dance’ is the pick for me. Situated inbetween Rockabilly and R&B but has a genre-deying haunting quality that makes it stand out amongst its peers. Took a while to get the recognition it deserves but has become feverishly sought after in the last couple of years. Visual grade: VG+ to EX €220 Sweet Pearl – While we are together / You mean everything to me – Leopard Head 2552 Brilliant and unique sounding slice of modern soul. Slight island edge although it’s a Memphis thing. Flipside is a mid-tempo stepper with the same stamp of quality but it’s a bit quieter and has a few audible scratches that can be felt. Visual grade: VG- to VG €200 Aaron Lomax – I’m not satisfied / The bell ringer – Spectrum 1163 Very rare modern dancer. Beautiful copy. Visual grade: EX €200 Bill Murphy Plus One – Ain’t no big thing / Happy days are-a-coming’ – Martin Music 102 Super clean copy of the most sought after version of this classic and unfortunately my very last copy so don’t sleep.

Visual grade: VG+ €100 The Valdons – I who have nothing / All day long (instrumental) – Twin City Movement 7-25 Top drawer Minnesota sweet soul backed with an instrumental version of the funky edged northern classic. This came out in a limited edition a few years ago and has been sought after since the day it came out.

Visual grade: VG to VG+ €70 Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford – Nobody / I’m in love – Mpingo 14000 Pristine copy of this mid-tempo sister funk killer.

Visual grade: Strong VG+ €50 Jimmy Breedlove – Don’t let it happen / Queen bee – Okeh 7152 DJ Copy Infectious R&B dancer.

Visual grade: Strong VG+ €50 Sweet Poppa’s Show Stoppers – I love you to the bone / Just call me baby – Ar’nett 163 Deep Kansas modern soul that’s still pretty much under the radar. Visual grade: VG+ €50 Willie Cager – He’s a player / What can you do – Contact 504 Visual grade: M- €45 The Thirteenth Amendment – That’s me without you / Then you can tell me goodbye – Whit 6910 DJ Copy Visual grade: VG+ €40 Brothers Of Soul – Come on back / The love I found in you – Boo 1005 Visual grade: VG- €40 Spot & The Blotters – Circulating / Soul circle – Equal 459601 Visual grade: M- €40 Black & Blue – Of all the hearts to break / Good morning new day – Game 395 Visual grade: Strong VG+ €30 The Dynamic Walton Brothers – Automatic sissy / Funky soul – Big Hit 300 Visual grade: VG to VG+ €30 Joe & The Fantastics – Chicken, chicken / Darlin’, darlin’ – Highland 1206 DJ Copy Visual grade: VG to VG+ €30 World’s Funkiest Band – When you’re alone / I feel your love – California Gold 79 Visual grade: VG+ €30 Guy Pastor – Crazy feelin’ / Try – Thor 102 Visual grade: Strong VG+ €30 T C & Company – Let’s go disco / I’m missing you – Carrie 200 Visual grade: M- €30 The Gospel Harmnettes Specials – Daniels stone / My fathers children – Savoy 4183 Visual grade: VG to VG+ €30 Dewey Young and The Flying Clouds – Clean hands / No stranger now – Sphere Sound 703 DJ Copy Visual grade: EX €30 Wade Flemons – Watch over her / When it rains it pours – Vee Jay 578 Visual grade: EX €30 The Hymes Sisters – Walking around the town / No reason to cry – JerJimHan 104 Visual grade: EX €30 The Ideals – Feeling of a kiss / Mo Gorilla – Cortland 115 Visual grade: VG+ €25 Billy “Country Boy” Young – I’m gonna get it tonight / Don’t hang your head (in shame) – Joy Ja 245 Visual grade: VG (plays much better) €25 Curtis Smith – The living end / Say you will – Essica 404 Visual grade: VG €20 Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell – California soul / The onion song – Tamla 54192 Visual grade: EX €20 Vamp – Free & easy / This feeling – Mar-Vel 5101 Visual grade: M- €20 Ray Crumley – It’s uncanny / All the way in love with you – Crystal 006 EVC 60 297 German PS Issue Visual grade: both sleeve and vinyl EX to M- €20 These Gents – Yesterday standing by Pt I/II – Soulvation Army 741 Visual grade: M- €15 Fat Boys – Fat boys / Human beat box – Buddah 101993 French PS Issue Visual grade: Sleeve VG+ Vinyl VG+ €15 T.C.

SHIPPING is £5 to anywhere in the world, for any number of records from the list. Int'l signed for shipping is £10. The Sheepherders – If ever you need me / By the time I get to Phoenix – Sounds International 638 Deep, funky edged and very rare northern dancer of the highest order. Clever arrangement as well which makes it stand out amongst many of its peers. Visual grade: VG+ £1200 Los Masters – Cissy strut / Sueño electrico – Odeon 5134 Cool late 60s Chilean version of the Meters classic. Impossible to track down even over there (or so I've heard. Very snappy drums as well. Visual grade: Sleeve VG+ Vinyl VG+ £150 Home Grown – Funk'n / So good – Sunshine Sound 69001 Sought after disco funk greatness with awesome synths. Visual grade: VG £125 Pete Rodriguez Y Su Conjunto – Here come the judge / People want to know – Alegre 4020 DJ Copy Definitely one of the better versions out there. El Rey del Boogaloo at his very best. Visual grade: M- £125 The Hornets – You're gonna need me again / Doin' the la-de-da – Tic-Toc 100 DJ Copy Cool white demo of this deep soul rarity. Clean copy. Visual grade: VG+ £120 Soulful Strutters – Soul delight / Just let me know – Strut 101 Obscure funk instrumental with snappy drums. Lots of marks but plays pretty well. Visual grade: VG- £100 The Bonnievillie – Get ready / As long as you're near me – Now 347 Storming funky edged northern dancefloor burner. Beautiful sweet soul flipside as well. Visual grade: VG- £100 True Image – Come what may / Boogie place – Flower's 8022 Pretty damn good modern floater that's blessed with Clarence Mann's impeccable vocals. Hard to find first label version. Visual grade: Strong VG £100 Chowder Head and The Boston Beans – The Boston stroll Pt I/II – Delite 1020 Crude and stripped down R&B dancer. Elusive 45 that very seldomly turns up in decent playing condition. Visual grade: VG+ £100 Ice Cold Energy – Never go looking for love / Everybody can dance – Cold Fire 101 An obscure sweet soul killer with a hand drawn label. What more do you want? Visual grade: VG+ £100 Frank J. Garcia, Jr. - No I don't really want it / Instrumental – Astro Chemistry 100 Detroit crossover with a lot of echo which gives it a cool mysterious feel. Sounds unlike any other 45 I've heard. Visual grade: VG £90 Richard Wylie – Money / I'll still be around – Motown 1009 The best version out there IMO. Blistering piano R&B and a dancefloor filler all the way. Visual grade: VG £80 Bobby Peyton – Keep calling me / Slide and jerk – Hilton 651 Mid-tempo sixties Cali winner that's creeping up to three figure territory. Visual grade: VG+ £75 Carolyn Champion – I'm so glad I met you / Instrumental – Soul-Po-Tion 139 Brilliant (I'm no stranger to hyperbole but really, it's brilliant) crossover floater that's still very much overlooked for some reason. I'm glad I can offer up my copy after finding a shiny mint one for myself. Visual grade: VG £70 The Rounders – Small town girl / Come home – Jora 1001 Early doo wop soul and the first release of Jimmy Tig who later went on to record for Tuska. Scarce first label issue.

Visual grade: VG £60 Franklin Myers and The Spiritual Echoes – He has done these things / Pass me not – Dytown 401002 Gospel killer that's up there with the more known Gates of Heaven 45 on the same label in terms of depth and quality. Visual grade: EX £60 Lou Ragland – Since you said you'd be mine (mono / stereo) – Warner Bros 7734 DJ Copy Early seventies northern dancer. Very clean copy. Visual grade: EX £55 Little Bobby Moore – The ginger snap (do the) / The clown – King 5668 DJ Copy One of many dance crazes that never quite caught on in its time, although it's one of the better ones I've heard. Came in the spotlight again a couple of years ago as it was included the first volume of the Hipshakers comp. Visual grade: VG+ £55 Matt Wilkins – Don't tell me nothing (about my baby) / Getting what you need – B&R 2211 Infectious Memphis mid-tempo obscurity with a funky edge. Very clean copy. Visual grade: EX £50 Barry Glenn – Nobody cares / We're only young once – Colpix 184 Early sixties teener sound with lots of crossover appeal to the popcorn scene as well. Visual grade: VG £45 Andy and Nancy – Love makes you the boss / Indeed I do – First 1111 Rare as hens teeth classy popcorn ballad in clean condition. Visual grade: VG+ to EX £45 Vonda Maria – I feel complete / Open arms, closed heart – Phil La of Soul 319 Top drawer beat ballad and one of the overlooked ones on this legendary label. Flipside ain't half ad either. Visual grade: VG+ to EX £40 Esther Williams – Last night changed it all / You gotta let me show you – Friends & Co. 129 DJ Copy What can I say about this record that hasn't been said before? Just one word of advice: never leave your house to play out without a copy of this one in your box. Visual grade: Strong VG £40 Hyla Parker – Joe / Quiet tunes – Cheri 501 Subtle crossover stepper. Quality sound. Visual grade: VG+ to EX £40 Louise Beatty – Blackberry Jellie Nellie / Someday – Ultra 50 Mid-50s Rhythm & Jazz jiver that pops up very rarely;. Visual grade: VG+ £40 Bobby & The Premiers – Gotta have a reason / Man about town – Souled Out 36202 Funky edged Texas dancer with cool drums throughout. Visual grade: VG+ £35 Flesh and Blood – Natural man / Freedom – UA 55404 Blue eyed Minnesota soulful Xian 45 that's under the radar. Not one for the purists but a beautiful piece of music nevertheless.

Diggin Dave 45s List - June 2015 A smaller list this month due to time restrictions but... I'll be putting out some heavy lists over the summer so keep your eyes peeled as there might be less competition and more good stuff for yourself ;)All records are strictly graded and come with photos and soundfiles. If you have questions about something don't hesitate to ask. If you can't get enough of these, I've got some more in stock in my store: https://stores.ebay.com/Diggin-Dave-45s Most soundfiles in my ebay shop are defunct but I'm in the process of replacing with working ones. SHIPPING is £5 to anywhere in the world, for any number of records from the list. Int'l signed for shipping is £10. Link to sales list with scans and soundfiles of every record: >>HERE<< Merger – You pick me up / I wanna be your man – MGR In-demand Ohio modern soul on this tiny private label. No pic sleeve but a nice clean copy. Visual Grade: VG+ £200 Westpoint – Come and get the love / High steppin – Hitmaker 1027 This is really something special right here. High Steppin is a nice obscure mid-80s boogie tune but the flip is an exceptional 6 minute slow jam that still blows me away although I've listened to it about a 100 times. I managed to pick a very limited number of copies of the artist so copies are mint and once these are gone you'll probably never see a copy again. Visual Grade: M- £150 The Desidero's – Flat foot Charlie / I pledge my love – Renee 1040 Obscure but quality early sixties soul outta Chicago that's extremely hard to pick up in this condition. Visual Grade: M- £120 Billy – your own words to it / You move me – Sniff 395 Awesome Cali funk 45 that has stayed very much under the radar in spite of its inclusion in the Legendary Deep Funk comp. Has a crack near th edge but plays very well as you can hear. Visual Grade: VG with a 3/4" crack £100 Trade Martin – Work song / So this is love – RCA 47-8926 DJ Copy One of the best versions out there and a sure shot on the dance floor.

Warp plays through with no problems at 3.5 grams. Visual Grade: Strong VG with a short warp £75 The Marlynns – My heart is yours / The break – Tower 103163 Mid-tempo sixties soul from Chicago with appeal on the popcorn scene as well.
