King - 4 Track Mono Ep Collecting British Soul EPs has always been difficult - unlike some of the "pop" EPs released on these shores; the "Soul" counterparts sold very little by comparison.

Auf Wiedersehn My Dear . This front cover just screams "Cover Art" as the beaming bright face of Mr. King projects exactly what the music is all about.

Fabulous version from the "Discotheque" man who gives the song another dimension. 1961 Italian rarity still retains original company sleeve...may we suggest the over-worked Orlons classic would be perfectly replaced by an inspired DJ with this refreshingly different take on the classic.

< Jimmy Burns I Really Love You Nothing we can say will elevate this 45's enviable reputation - it already proudly perches itself at the very summit of Northern Soul collecting. But do pause to consider that this copy had never ever met an Englishman before - vinyl has only a couple of light sleeve contact brushes, but has certainly never ever encountered the rigors of an English club-turntable. A better copy we think may not exist - certainly a "virgin" to these Isles untouched by DJ hands.

Happiness Gotta Have Love Those glorious transitional years between Motown Dance and Disco disaster the Soul fraternity crafted some of the finest music of the last century 1969 to 1974 were the crossover years when the "soul-content" became for many artist and producers the most vital ingredient.

So ridiculously limited, Rip Lay of Concord, California promo'd this "from the vaults" recording, as an allegedly tiny 50 only press in 1977. We have no reason to suspect that is not true, as it has firmly stood the test of time as being excruciatingly RARE! The green see-through vinyl emits one outrageously potent slab of Northern Soul from a man with the vocal that only "the King" could compare to. Sorry, this item has already been won!

Dee Dee Sharp Standing In The Need Of Love C/w I Really Love You We have crowed many times before about the beautiful simplicity of the UKPYE distributed Promo - but when it's enveloped in a Cameo Parkway sleeve, sporting two flawless labels and vinyl it is undeniably a top-drawer Brit-Beauty. But then consider the sheer quality of these two back to back Philadelphia Northern Soul dancers. Barrett Strong's composition is a Motownesque work of replicating genius. The other side shows off the early skills of Kenny Gamble, aided by the Arctic label Creator JImmy Bishop. Both sides just drip with class - this 45 in this the ultimate format is some prize to win. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 157.00 One Night Stand I Dig You Baby C/w There's A Crowd Currently Jerry Butler & Lorraine Ellison's 2 Mercury 45s are picking up loads of crossover venue spins - and rightly so - this song is a slick smooth and easy Northern Soul stroller from the top-drawer quality. BUT before you today is a ridiculously obscure "Carolina" style version, for those of you who prefer, Street-level rarity & production. A room of horns and a muted hammond introduce a growling gravel-coated-vocal that meanders through this mid-tempo delight with equally skilled ease, that you would associate with the "Iceman" himself. If you like it more upbeat, there's a bonus-flip, strong Carolina style Northern Soul. Two strong sides with "I Dig Yo Baby" being something very special. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 98.00 Milton Campbell & The R-d-m Band Sweet Thing C/w Someone So much-more than just a brass-propelled Philly chunk of Funk,that instantly demands dance! This 45 also offers up a a flipside with a string and girl-group driven soul-dancer that amazingly has yet to hit the heights it obviously deserves. Two great sides with the flip particularly bristling with potential for a much bigger ticket - it reminds me of those strong Vanguards 45s on Lamp that languished in collections until emerging on the DJ's turntables. Seldom in recent times have I heard such a strong tune that has yet to "hit". Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 257.00 Yvonne Daniels Don't Wanna Get Away From Your Love C/w I Love It Let's get serious - one of THE rarest of all the girl-vocal Northern Soul 45s ever made. This is the genuine authentic original which carries the impressive flip "I Love It". Topside came to light when back in 1975 "Record Haven" bought a load from New York and 4 copies were in it. Since those Northern Soul days of yore I personally have only ever sold a couple of copies from those initial 4, and i only know of one, scratchy "rogue" copy to come up for sale on the net. Before you today is one of the original 4 found that we luckily acquired. The trick we've all missed is the B-side (that is missing off the bootleg) is dead-right for the funkier sound on "now" Two highly desirable sides - one seriously rare disc. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 612.00

Patti & The Emblems I'm Gonna Love You A Long Long Time Santa all I want for Christmas is a 45 year old Northern Soul Timeless classic in PERFECT condition. I know it's too much to ask, Santa - but please do what'cha can. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 377.00 Betty Fikes And The Passions Prove It To Me C/w I Can't Lie To My Heart Distilled SOUL! It was only 3 years after it's release, when Betty Fikes was first spun at Cleethorpes Pier, so all assumed, they will eventually own a copy. How wrong can you be? In over 30 years I would guess I've only had the pleasure of selling 3 copies, which actually included my own personal DJcopy. Few records can carry this pedigree of rarity coupled with the quality of SOUL that lay in the grooves. Topside is solid Sister-Northern the flipside is DEEP SOUL so powerful, one listen will with you for life. More importantly this copy is the only one I've ever had, in fine clean condition. Vinyl and labels are FLAWLESS. If you appreciate Rarity & Depth of Soul in copious amounts, like me this masterpiece will make you sit up and beg for ownership. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 946.00 Bobby Valentin Use It Before You Lose It At this moment in time - no other LATIN Northern Soul offering rams the dancefloor this this doers - IT'S A MONSTER - absolutely fundamental Hot Box occupant and this copy is as clean as it gets. Sorry, this item has already been won!

It was of course a flawless MINT copy. Before you today is the chance perhaps, to own this iconic piece for a fraction of that - because of lesser condition. Exact condition is; both labels are flaw free. Vinyl has light surface marks plays vg+. Tiny/miniscule round "heat" mark on the a-side vinyl 1/2 way through NOT affecting play. It has, we suspect, had light surface restoration to make it appear visually excellent. Soundfile has been lifted directly from this disc - you will hear it plays clean and true. Yes, we consider this an opportunity to spin a Red & White legend on the decks, make the chin-stroking turntable-police drool with envy - and pay a fraction of that UKrecord breaking price of near 3 years back. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 164.00

Wigan Casino anthem in absolutely STONE-MINT, apart from a tiny”tick” on the label (see scan) - this actual 45 was the producers file copy which we doubt was ever played before this listing. Does collecting the Northern Soul classics get any more tempting than owning a timeless NS 45 year old - looking like a new born! Fabulous! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 355.00 > James Fountain Seven Day Lover The average wage of the British youngster in that hot-summer of 1976 was around £30 a week! Maybe the heat of that memorable year affected one young Cleethoropes Dj’s brain, as he paid almost 7 weeks wages after tax for James Fountain on Peachtree. At the time a ridiculous amount to spend on a 45. But imagine being in your early 20’s and hearing this Georgia masterpiece for the first time in the Rare-Soul-Cauldron that was Blackpool Mecca. How much kudos did he get when the recording-breaking transfer was completed from West Coast to the North Sea- well actually truckload for fully 1 week - then it was re-issued on UK Cream; for all to have and to hold for the rest of your life for a mere £1.00. Did he get over that crushing blow? years did heal the self inflicted wounds of vinyl-ego and today he still loves this record just as much as he did back then…and there’s just something about the highly elusive ORIGINAL that makes you want to dig-deep!

It just totally blew me and most everyone the building off their feet - relentless, potent, swirling slab of Motor City dance music that incited dancefloor mayhem. So how come it took me and many others, fully decades to appreciate the flipside? What were we all doing? Today “Go On” sounds even better than the experience of my lost-Palmer-virginity to “My World Was Set On Fire”. “Go On” today, is perfect, an overlooked Motor City masterpiece that will surely and very soon, have it’s day in the sun.
