Earl Van Dyke Soul Stomp C/w Hot N' Tot A MOD ANTHEM ! A few months before the king of the Motown keyboard Earl wowed the British youth with his "All For You" intro theme tune during the 1965 UK tour and the legendary "Ready Steady Go" appearance. EMI released this crazed hammond Jazz-Fusion trip, that made the perfect bridge between the fading Modern Jazz All-Nite scene to the then burgeoning R&B Soul all-nite movement. 48 years on this 45 is still considered a jewel of it's genre, this copy before you today is most-likely the finest copy we have ever handled. It took quite some time to find any sign of play, a minuscule sleeve contact blemish on the flipside vinyl, is the only indication that's it's ever been out of it's jacket. You will not ever find a finer copy - it's took John Manship Records over 40 years to find this one! An historical 1964 British rarity in astonishing condition. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 100.00 Jerry Tiffe Hey Whatcha' Doin' On word of mouth from those who closely follow the under-the-radar Northern Soul rarities this 1970 Scepter session has gained an enviable reputation and it's value is on the climb... Take a listen to the huge Big City orchestral production and Jerry's attack on the brass & string backing, so typical of the full-on Scepter creation. Buffalonian Jerry Meyers who did some notable work in the late sixities with Joe Jeffrey for Scepter/Wand again provides the listener with an uplifting production in which "Tiffe's" potent vocal soars to great heights held there by a bank of strings and horns. Lovers of the Big City Sound this is a special one...with a strong, strong production and a very tough 45 to secure. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 63.00 Eric Lomax Seven The Loser Funky Philly! After it's rise to acceptance at the radical Cleethorpes all-nighters in the mid-70s this 45 is a dancefloor destroyer that's heard for too little these days. Billy Jackson and his SASSY production gang again deliver great Northern Soul this time packing a little Pzazz into the session for a truly off-the-wall but infectious dancer. That we hear, is making the play-lists of some of the Top-DJs who source the "different" and under-played whilst picking out a revival spin. Much-more interesting though, as if we needed to point it out, this is theVERY RARE RED STOCK copy - outnumbering the elusive PROMO by more than 50 to 1 and that is no exaggeration.

Billy Clark Too Bad - Too Sad C/w You'll Never It Alone Relentless, meaty, punchy, angry NORTHERN SOUL! Why this 45 has not risen up to the top of the value leagues is something of a mystery. It has always been RARE and very hard platter to secure. It carries that Buddy Lamp, Eddie Parker type of defiance that the serious Northern Soul dancer just gorge themselves on. If the mighty a-side is not enough to satisfy your hunger - the Deep Soul flipside will have you flopped out in the chair.. To finish this explosive session...

First side is regarded as a soulful Northern Soul crossover of the finest pedigree, a flowing vibe intro glides towards Mr. Gardner's effortlessly booming vocal, gradually swells to bursting-point, anticipation has him pleading "is this really love" with Jimmy Vanleers stroke of genius leaving the girl-chorus until the very end - which leaves you instantly reaching for the arm to drop the needle yet again - AWESOME stuff. So what about the utterly contrasting flip - "Love Bone" enjoyed very brief turntable club action back in the early 70s but got buried in a flood of Motownesque classic style discoveries, discarded and forgotten. Today we have no hesitation to shout - it's time is right NOW! A thumpin' Chicago dancer that is absolutely on the money for the preferred "jagged edge" style of R&B Northern Soul fusion that ignites the dance-floors of today.

DEBONAIRS Please Come Back Baby C/w Untrue Baby RARE Texas vocal-group excellence. Top-drawer male vocal group harmony woven into a primitive brass propelled production that compliments the rasping lead vocal and the squawking girl group back-up. In the true tradition of pure Northern Soul there is not a commercial note in the whole session. Attitude driven lead, unhinged ladies softened by a masterly male bass vocal adding an occasional but impressive word or two. Flip it for a sublime group-harmony soulful ballad. Truly fabulous in it's primitiveness, RARE in the extreme and this copy is in impeccable flaw free Condition. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 555.00 Bobby Thurston Sweetest Slice Of The Pie Is this 1978 Washington, D. C. indie just the very greatest 70s dance SOULalbum ever made? A click of the soundfile will unleash "Just Ask Me" + "Treat Me The Same Way" - Soul-Boy-Life does not get any better than these tracks booming at'cha; that's only two of the 9 wonderful tracks this album holds. For an independent production the quality of work is truly miraculous crafting to the nth degree. Ticking every box of the Rare-Soul-Fans taste-wish-list. Whilst you're enjoying the recording, please note this copy still retains most-all of it's original shrink wrap, even sports the little plastic pocket on the back cover. It's a beautiful example of yes - IMHO the finest indie 70s Soul LPeven produced. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 257.00 Four Sights Love Is A Hurting Game - That I Can't Win C/w The Dreamer The Temptations could well have been te inspiration behind this Miles Grayson 1967 Los Angeles rarity. As the lead "Ruffinesque" voice leads the way on the rasping vocal-group Northern Soul rarity. Seldom seen for sale after it's initial discovery circa 1977, other than that handful I know of no other time this 45 have been unearthed in this near perfect condition. Validated in it's extreme rarity, it's quality underlined by a flipside nearly every note as good. This Jerry Flannagan project resisted opportunity for a smooth vocal group experience, to serve up a racking, grinding dancer of the purest kind. So far this 45 has only enjoyed brief flirtations with late Wigan Casino &Stafford's Top Of The World. Today a revival spin or two, and the current underground demand could explode into something far, far bigger. In 2012 rare vocal group records of this quality in this sublime condition are worth more than their weight in gold! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 443.00 Bobby Taylor And The Vancouvers Does Your Mama Know About Me C/w Fading Away Previously called Four Niggers & A Chink, Bobby wisely renamed his group for this impressive Motown Debut. This 1968 release is certainly one of the most elusive British TMG 600 series 45s as a stock copy! As a DEMO it is ridiculously tough to capture. Late 70s video fans will remember the hilarious Cheech & Gongs - Up In Smoke - has the haphazard couple made a mess from everything they attempted. So it's hard to believe that 10 years earlier Tommy Gong was co-writing this most-beautiful of Motown songs as The Vancouver's aid Bobby Taylor with their Temptations inspired recordings. Both sides are top-drawer male vocal-group harmony statements, with "Does Your Mama.." achieving cult-status years after it's failed UK launch. This example the condition could hardly be finer - listen to the double sound file of precise Motown soul. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 120.00

Wildly emotional delivery of on both sides of this delicious Detroit Double helping of real-deal 60s soul. Top side has been a Northern Soul classic for decades, remained annoying elusive throughout.
