The winning bid was £ 161.00 Benny Spellman Walk On Don't Cry C/w Please Mr. Genie RARE!! very rare New Orleans popcorn flavoured Northern Soul. Benny rose to fame with his "Fortune Teller" but was finding it very difficult to hit with any follow-ups - his next two Minit 45 releases failed miserably. Two years later he was recording for the street-level Crescent City label Watch, with even less success, but it did provide the hunter for the really obscure, with this winner offering two deliciously typical sounds of the city. It's no surprise that both sides crafted by Wardell Quezergue and offer that mysterious "Popcorn" style arrangement that creeps under your skin. BOTHsides are gorgeous mid-pacer that drip with potential. Check out the soundfile - you'll love it. Give the label scan a long gaze - not many can say they've seen it before. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 101.00 Gerri Diamond Only You (can Feel The Loss) In the true tradition of girl-vocal Northern Soul this Cincinnati rarity from the desk of the prolific Kenny Smith has all the traits of a dancefloor winner. Reminiscent vocally to Laine Hill, Dana Valery, Judy Street etc. After the slow start intro, Kenny Smith drills a drum-roll intervention adds a brass section and a team of girls cooing and oohing then adding an uplifting chorus. This is just great girly Northern Soul with an ingredient that always heightens Northern Soul passion - the Baritone Saxophone subtlety as it prompts and prods the proceedings. We just love it - seldom heard, seldom seen and bristling with potential. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 320.00

Cecil Washington And The Group I Don't Like To Lose This coming Christmas some very, very lucky Northern Soul addict may be opening a packet to reveal a NS GRAIL in PERFECT condition.

But the equally staggering sales pointer about this listing - it is a true MINTunplayed until the soundfile was harvested. To witness condition of this standard on a record of such importance - is quiet frankly thrilling! To receive it for Christmas would be a once in a lifetime experience. Come on girls how much do you love your man? Sorry, this item has already been won!

A 100% Ken Williams project displays his huge writing and producing skills to the full. I've recently taken my collection copy and transferred it to my DJ box, sparking a label voyeurs to rush the decks. Surprising really because it's qualities have been admire by the Old School soulies for literally decades.

In the popular long running debate of the rarest WHITE PROMO Northern Soul classic 45. Let us throw this one into the hat. This is the FIRST PRESS Tangerine 967 vinyl press PROMO. Our 12 year old data file on this title says NO PROMO COPIES during that period - before that my memory fails me. It is certainly without question a very elusive promo - that when the debate fires up will surprise many on just how rare it. Condition of both labels are totally flawless! Vinyl has a couple of light surface blemishes - it's a beauty! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 82.00 Luther Ingram Run For Your Life C/w I Need You Now Robert Bateman's association with Luther Ingram created one of the all time Top Ten Northern Soul anthems when they laid down the "If It's All The Same To You" c/w "Exus Trek" tracks for HIB. To this day considered "As Good As It Gets Northern Soul" Before you today is another Bateman/Ingram pairing that again created two killer Northern soul tracks - Robert's embryonic Detroit career honing skills with partner Brian Holland at Motown - this is a "Brainbert" project. A-side is a grinding gravel-strewn-journey into the deep moody depths of Luther Ingram's soul, constantly prompted by a Mike Terry-esque baritone sax, blaring horns, tinkling Earl Van Dyke style keyboard work all dissolve into a Detroit Northern Soul dancer without one commercial note being played. This is street-level individualism bordering on genius. If that were not enough - just flip it over - WOW it's ever revolution as good! So much rarer than their HIB 45 - but has languished in the lower reaches of value even though this is one very difficult 45 to capture, all down to lack ofNS exposure. Future potential for a value hike for this sleeper - quite frankly is glaringly obvious. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 259.00

It was after all the experience of hearing and dancing to records of this quality at your Wigan Casino initiation, that brought you and your friends back week after week, until you were completely addicted. Imagine for a moment of an incessant Radio diet of Paper Lace - Billy Don't Be a Hero, Gary Glitter - I'm The Leader Of The Gang, Mud - Tiger Feet or Slades - Come On Feel The Noise...

Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 956.00 Jimmy Ruffin Don't Feel Sorry For Me Soon after leaving his Gospel roots, Jimmy joined Berry Gordy's burgeoning Motown Hitsville studios to earn a living from session singing. Before you today was his very first Motown single for which he wrote both sides. Raynoma Gordy guided David's older brother through these soulful sessions that completely failed to register sales. Decades later the British Northern Soul recognized it's dancefloor potential, for to rise into an extremely popular floor-packer. In recent times this 45 has again become very difficult to acquire - in fact this promo is our first of it's kind for quite some years.

A composition originally scheduled for The Spinners, Jimmy managed to convince William Mickey Stevenson he was the guy for the job; how right he was, as to this day almost 5 decades on, this Top 10 hit is still considered one of Motown's iconic 45s. Before you today is the ridiculously RARE 1966 UK Red & white DEMO in absolutely flawless condition, both labels and vinyl are MINT-. Do not overlook the killer Northern Soul flipside, that during 1966 to 1971 was a hugely popular Al-Niter / MOD club spin - that has recently made something of a revival.

Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 108.00 Garnet Mimms Looking For You Just how many flipsides did the 60s Brit-Soulboys discover and transform into all-time Northern Soul classics.

You are viewing this timeless classic in not only it's most-elusive format but in the type of condition British Soul collecting dreams are made of. This copy came from a long-term MOD collection and was purchased by the previous owner as a "new release". Original sleeve intact and vinyl that only reveals a brief sleeve brush blemish or two.

i agree with you kris definitely the best way to go in my opinion, honesty has got to be the best policy, plus a sound clip of the record for sale would be ok as you could only blame yourself then, i've noticed a lot of sellers on ebay are now just eye grading records, i've got a lot of records that look trashed but play vg+ or better so are ok for me, eye grading is a bit of a waste of time in my opinion, joe.

The winning bid was £ 611.00 Sir Charles Hughes You Say You're Leaving An inspirational Funk infused New Yorker, currently picking up turntable action, as it perfectly fits what's happening on the Northern Soul circuit at the moment, as the funkier side of rare soul becomes the "in vogue" style. This 45 is the rare release of "Love Me Today" with the strong flip, usually seen without "You Say You're Leaving" on the "love Me Today" Sir Charles sets off in a totally different direction as he does an East Coast imitation of Barry White...interesting but it's the a-side that carries the punch to cram the dancefloor. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 133.00 Gwen Davis My Man Don't Think I Know You cannot help but love this Allen Orange "Big Mama" R&B shaker!! A mountain of brass tries to compete for pole position with the struttin' PMT-ignited vocal; a thumpin' piano, twangy Southern Fried Guitar work, all add to the session, the timely instrumental break brings a stroke of genius from producer Jonathan Richburg as he adds a "Gospel Choir" to the proceedings...let's face it a sugary girl-group chorus would have been swamped and lost by this Gal and her musicians. Fantastic, full-on, foot-to-the-floor Northern Soul R&B. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 160.00

Arnold The First Cut Is The Deepest One of the hardest tasks whilst stalking the Red N' Whites is snaring "THECLASSICS" so this week we thought list two absolute masterpieces of our music as Red & White Demo's would be more than interesting. This example is former Ikette's debut British single, written by master-wordsmith Cat Stevens, arranged by the prolific Arthur Greenslade and produced by Immediate master Mike Hurst. The soundfile reveals what happens when genius collides in the studio. Records are conceived that endure decades and decades of successive generations who can only describe recordings like this as timeless testament to "Black Music". Listen and weep... Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 50.00 Marvin Gaye Stubborn Kind Of Fellow It's Marvin Gaye's 4th single and his first big USA hit - came to these shores for a brief outing on the coveted Oriole label and duly failed, mostly due to theBBC's reluctance to air "pop" music and "Motown" sound was still very "underground" Rare it may be, but the deciding factor as an auction entrant hinged completely on it's eye-popping condition. Vinyl is like new! one very light sleeve brush blemish, both labels arePERFECT! 48 years after it's British birth - this type of condition is what Motown Collecting Dreams are made of. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 108.00

A Love That's Real We have sung the praises of the San Antonio, Texas 60s soul scene and Abe Epstein's contribution on several occasions, but that will not stop us raving about that era, the City or The Man yet again. Today is another feel-good Abe creation, as he takes The Intruders - Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff song, injects that sunny Texas factor driven by Mexican influenced horns, transforming the super smooth Intruders version into a street-level by "The Canal" San Antonio Northern Soul stormer; with that all-important raw, primitive texture that makes all the Norther Soul great tunes stand-out! If You like "smooth" flip it over for a harmony ballad of some quality. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 309.00 Hank Carbo Bad Luck H C P = Hank Carbo Productions and how this man does produce! In the last decade this huge chunk of L.A. Funk 45 has totally disappeared.

The winning bid was £ 177.00 Tony Fox The Beginning The rarely seen New York album that includes that relentless 70s floor-destroyer "love let love and be loved" But this LP is certainly no "one-trick-pony" album.
