Chubby Checker You Just Don't Know (what You Do To Me) the vinyl WOW factor has just rushed through me! Unissued in the USA - UK Pye gave this 45 life in 1965 as a B-side, and ultimately selling virtually nothing on release. Those 60s Soul Pioneers turned market stall foragers, junk shop rummages, cut out bin flickers; playing both sides of anything and everything just hoping for a "sound" that could be the next "Soul Dance" discovery.

A downbeat 2 step anthem, guaranteed to give goose-bumps, this is also much in demand for the house edit.

On top of all that info are the 1968 readers poll results for all categories. Out of all the early Blues & Soul I consider this the most interesting &informative, as always a wonder column from Dave Godin of course!

hi, is it double soul or double shot ?? joe.

Chancellors All The Way From Heaven C/w Sad Avenue Why this sublime mid-60s New York vocal-group session has not hit the real-big ticket is a mystery. Freddie Perren's subtle arrangement cradles a sublime lead vocal, bolstered by an effective echo-chamber vocal-harmony-chorus. This records drips with all that is good with vocal-group Northern Soul; carefully constructed to maximize the vocal clarity woven into a harp and guitar mix that provides the irresistible dance-beat arrangement with Detroit style mini-instrumental breaks embroidered the full length of the song. SUPERB!! If that wasn't enough the flip side is 60s Sweet Soul Nirvana - a truly gorgeous stepper of the highest order.

Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 148.00 Joey Dee And The New Starlighters How Can I Forget Vocal / Instrumental If you seriously collect Northern Soul classic original the chances are you don't own this one. The authentic original with the RAISED X in the deadwax Paul Edward Bezanker wrote a wonderful guide to CONNECTICUT music, in fact one of the finest "State Music" guides ever compiled. Accurate to the extreme needless to say this East Hartford distributed was not mention in anyway. All the usual searches you guys reference will reveal ONE copy only auction this century. Crazy I know - but this as an original press is acutely RARE! A simultaneous Monster spin Wigan Casino & Cleethorpes Pier, so if you serious about owning all the proper floorshakers from the halcyon days; this copy is Mint - in every respect.

Mimicking this style of music, Fontella Bass, Jackie Ross had already made in roads with reasonable sales for Chess.

There were of course total failures - this is one of those passed over releases that never sold a bean. Take a listen if you don't already know this dual-delight and you will be asking two very pertinent questions. 1.

The winning bid was £ 124.00 Isonics Sugar C/w 1967 Beverly Hills vocal group creation that has taken the Soul Clubs of the North by a storm. A group joins the spoken intro; which collides with a penetrating piano which runs the full coarse of the recording, prompting, interrupting and encouraging some totally wild vocal-group harmony vocals.

Soul fuses with Latin to craft a awesome piece of Northern Soul - flip side is an overlooked Deep Soul delight. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 311.00 Zoot Money's Big Roll Band Big Time Operator Flamingo Club will remain in the history of the 60s British MOD culture for ever. This legendary haunt for the smoke's "The IN Crowd" gave birth to the reputations of Jimmy James & The Vagabonds, Geno Washington & His Ram Jam Band, Georgie Fame, Shotgun Express to name but a few. After talking to an original MOD recently he said his most memorable night was watching Zoot Money Big Band live @ Cheateux Impney, Droitwich he thought? Which was hardly surprising as this group not only had one crazy-rasping lead vocalist, but also boasted Baritione Sax,Piano, Hammond Organ, Bass, the usual guitars & drums driven by a defiant attitude. This single characterized everything a MOD wanted to be - "Big Time Operator" ultimately becoming an anthem, selling reasonably well on the back of portraying a current lifestyle. As this beautiful RED & WHITE DEMO it's speaks history, culture &collectability in just mammoth proportions. Sorry, this item has already been won!

Topside is an atmospheric George Clinton composition elevated by swirling strings and a signature LeBaron / Solid Hitbound production, that the Fellows attack with a blend of the snarling lead vocal supported by smooth-as-silk harmony vocal support, crafting a seamless but gritty dancer. Flip it over muscle-bound horns join the proceedings on a jerky Northern Soul dancer of equal potency! A rare disc offering two killers from Detroit with the added attraction of the George Clinton / Parliament connection. Not only as a writer but suspiciously singing as these vocals are so, so "Parliamentesque". Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 409.00

Which hundreds witnessed at his recent debut live performance in the UK @ Soul Essence where he won hearts, soul and friends. This 45 is like all his records RARE in the extreme - the sound-file will tell you everything you need to know about the man and his miraculous falsetto vocal. Killer upbeat dancer - back with a ballad that could well moisten your eyes. A real Star on a record that would be the star in any serious rare 70s collection. Vinyl has some light surface marks - BOTH sound file have been lifted directly off this actual disc. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 438.00 Gladys Knight And The Pips No One Could Love You More Previously only available as the 1972 album track from "STANDINGOVATION" Stml11208 on a album track. EMI UK in 1973 decided that "No One Could Love You More" would be a fine flip-side choice for the re-promoted "Take Me In Your Arms And Love Me". Fine indeed as near 20 years later it became an instant Northern Soul dance floor hit, as another innovative NS Jock dug past the obvious for his turntable selections. So what more can we can about this decidedly rare Mint - DEMO! Other tan it's only our 2nd. copy in over 15 years!! Sorry, this item has already been won!

The sound-sample will reveals 2 top-drawer non-45 Northern Soul dancer, 4 of their very best VIP recording and a sublime vocal-group harmony stroller. We've left off their wonderful "Soul" label recordings because you most probably know them. A mind-blowing compilation of everything that was non-commercial but the very best that Motown ever offered. This is the extremely elusive 1969 UK stereo press, with no flaws except light browning on the back cover where the last owner has hugged it for the last 43 years. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 124.00

Bobby Goldsboro Too Many People The late Northern Soul DJ Nev Wherry was the main-man championing theRARE British release Northern Soul. Making this Bobby Goldsboro stomper a Cleethorpes monster! Such was the demand the bootleggers combed theUSA for a copy - there is NO USA 45 release. So they used Bobby Goldsboro's USA United Artist 91024 "Blue Autumn" lp track - wrong again it's a wishy-washy inferior version. So, even after that ridiculous bootleg Nev with his signature smile spun his Green & White 1967 UK DEMO it became Cleethorpes & Wigan Casino monster. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 103.00 Billy Stewart Summertime C/w To Love, To Love Words fail me. Where do you begin when portraying the qualities of Billy Stewart. Unique is a good starting point - incomparable tongue-twisting fusion of jazz/soul/latin created by a voice that has not as yet, or perhaps never will be matched.

AWESOME in more ways than one! Sorry, this item has already been won!

Little Jimmy Scott It Rained 40 Days & Nights C/w Do You Get The Message One of many Joshie Jo Armstead collaborations with Mike Terry that gave birth to stand-out Northern Soul. Top side is perhaps Joshie's finest example as a wordsmith. A record that Garland Green also had the pleasure of singing. Little Jimmy Scott's take is 100 x rarer and carries a more expressive delivery. Flip it over and it's double-NS-delight! An ooh-so-potent Chicago Northern Soul shaker, vibrantly-raw unpolished session that just rips-it-up! NB "Do You Get The Message" was NOT issued on Jimmy's Giant 708 release. Be aware of the eye-popping condition - two perfect vinyls, two flawless labels.

The winning bid was £ 393.00 Fluffy Falana My Little Cottage (by The Sea) This Robert L. Martin creation started life as a mysterious Wigan Casino secret sound for Richard Searling, who not for the first time used the writers name for his intriguing NS teasers; ie "Eddie Jason" for The Wakefield Sun monster. Richard Searling certainly added mystic as well as quality to his sets of carefully selected spins. This Philly flipside just spews everything the Casino was at it's height! An instant dance-inciting experience as Bobby Martin flexes his studio skills crafting relentless Northern Soul,filled with all the ingredients Bobby would use on his multitude of his Philadelphia session. This example for me, is his ""pi¨ce de rsistance". Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 183.00 Brief Encounter Sweet Soul Music Rare 1988 Japanese compilation of huge repute - with headphones firmly fixed and I've spent the most pleasurable album-experience in memory.

Consider a one-sitting gourmet serving of 9 tracks by Brief Encounter, 2 tracks by Allison, 2 tracks by Imperial Wonders, 2 tracks from Continental Showstoppers fastidiously chosen by a man who really knows his soul. The soundfile gives you a small porthole to the album's immense quality - but goes nowhere near to the sublime experience i've just had whilst reviewing 15 tracks from Sweet Soul Heaven... Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 236.00 Blues & Soul No. 4 January 1968 At the beginning of 1968 UK awareness of the independent-label soul artists was heightened by this John Abbey enterprise.

A listen to soundfile and you will easily understand the uncontrolled excitement of the counterfeiter as he just knew this would be a monster! Unfortunately the flood of the far to early "boots" soured it's simultaneous but brief turntable-life at Wigan Casino & Cleethorpes Pier.

Growling, horns & bluesy plectrum blend into a crude but compelling ground-level rarity of 60s RB Dance; with the flipside delivering a similar style with the same passion, we feel this serious rarity has huge potential for intimateNS club late night head-turning.

An imaginative flipside spin from time-served DJ John Farrar. How good did this sound through those imposing speakers...I knew I was in for a good night. But if you play the a-side the really unforgettable nights, those branded in your memory forever flash before your eyes. The school bell rings and Cleethorpes Pier shakes as Soul Sam fingers twitch erratically over the console controls, a quiver n' shake of the arms, a swing of the hips - and Soul Sam is doing his now famous "top-half" DJ-dancing, only reserved for the vinyl-magnificent.

Flip it over and experience Bob Manuel using the same ingredients for a totally different effect, this side is where the real value lies in this vanishing disc. A soulful down-tempo journey through pain, despair and fear.
