repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Platters Sweet Sweet Lovin' The beauty of the EMI Stateside DEMO never ever fails to draw more than a second glance. This Twisted Wheel anthem in these clothes - The Bit-Collector will find it totally irresistible…To the Northern Soul dancer the collaboration of New York and Detroit created a monster vocal-group Northern Soul Dancer - as Buck Ram’s group tried to hitch-a-ride on TheMOTOWN SOUND, enlisting Richard Popcorn Wylie & Sonny Sanders to rework Vernon Harrell & Ralph Bailey’s replicating that Four Tops feel. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 98.00 repeat no-repeat; "> Barabara & Brenda Never Love A Robin RARE 1968 UK DEMO! You may well need a refresh-play of this Twisted Wheel spin - it has been far too long since I’ve heard it out - the soundfile will leave you wondering why this tune is not replacing some of the over-cooked 60s classics… The Gaskins duo delivered a mighty soul-sister dancer, guided by New York’s finest Luther Dixon & Charlie Fox who ensure the gals do-it-up-right! Come on DJs, I’ve just dropped a Dynamo copy into my DJ box - time to revive this one dont’cha think? Brit collectors though, will not want this traveling the NS circuit - in this format, it’s a keep n’ admire piece. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 74.00 repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Daphine Williams I Love You Sublime and stupidly elusive St. Louis Northern Soul crossover back by the racy rhythms of The Young Disciples & Company. The attraction of this 45 is not only it’s obvious rarity but the purity of it’s uninfluenced construction. This is street-level soul made with the inspiration generated within the studio, on the day. Raw, rugged and utterly fantastic tune…that is rising in demand as you listen. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 222.00 Intensions I'm Losin' Your Love C/w I'll Search The World Not only vocal group Northern Soul excellence - but flip it over for a lesson in how a harmony 60s ballad should be served. Two utterly fabulous sides making this record one of those under-valued, ready to rise platters that collectors all try and seek out. It may well be too late now - as the soundfile and label scan by the power of the internet has made 1,000s and 1000s of collectors more aware of this platters outstanding qualities. We suggest “get a copy ASAP”… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 179.00

Melvin Davis Find A Quiet Place C/w This Ain't The Way Today after a tiny flurry of copies in the early 70s that gave this 45 Northern Soul classic-status, this record now seldom comes to market. The Casino &The Pier simultaneously rocked the boards with it throughout that memorable decade, but since those times this 45 as gained and gained in value as rarity was constantly reaffirmed. This copy has fine clean vinyl, two X’s on label but also comes with an autographed flipside label by the man himself - Melvin Davis! Making this example rather unique… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 863.00 Deletts What's The Use C/w Look At Me A double-delight of girl-group Northern Soul that has never ever been re-issued or indeed received the turntable time to make it anything other than a totally refreshing danceflloor experience any time you hear it; which ever side the needle is dropped on. “What’s The Use” if a precise mellow mid-tempo that drips with class - flip it over for an exhilarating journey of stompin’ vintage style Northern Soul. Why the hell this missed out from becoming a timeless constantly bootlegged NS classic is solely down to the so few spins it’s has received over the years - rarity again gives the NS fan a drop of the proper stuff to consider…potential for monster status is frankly - obvious. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 234.00 Anderson Brothers I Can See Him Loving You Yes! A real Northern Soul Trophy! the STEREO / MONO genuine PROMOcopy. Very few collectors can truthfully boast of owning this - there is however a glittering array of counterfeits, bootlegs and re-issues that have changed hands in the most dubious circumstances over the decades. This isTHE REAL-DEAL and so very highly prized by those collectors who require a strong dose ofanti-histamine after touching any form of re-issue. Condition of this prize is immaculate! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 770.00 Nick Allen Hard Way To Go Demand for this current spin last month was simmering away nicely - it is about to boil over - hence this listing! This copy is “like new” - listen and you’ll appreciate why this 45 is currently flying high..with a lot further to go and supplies long dried up. Sorry, this item has already been won!

repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Kenny Jenkins Thermo-jet And now for something completely different!! The new collectible “dance” genre that seems to be decorating the internet at the moment goes under the curious name of “The Titty-Shaker” - wow this certainly would cause exactly that phenomena - a truly wild instrumental on the obscurest label you could ever wish to encounter. If your gonna “titty-shake” you got do it to something really RARE! This Redondo Beach, California early 60s private press will have you wishing you were at that Beach the day they play it! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 43.00 Olympics The Same Old Thing C/w I'll Do A Little Bit More WHITE DEMO collectors and fans of Mirwood our data reveals this is one hell of a tough promo to acquire. So when a MINTER pops out of unfiled stock - how pleased are we - especially as BOTH sides are currently soaring high on the play lists of Oldies and upfront DJ’s. A side is of course a classic Northern Soul dancer from the pen of Shirlie Matthews, flip it over for yet another previously overlooked B-side that is currently dispersing talcum powder around the clubs. This copy is totally flawless! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 168.00 Minits Still A Part Of Me C/w Lover Boy Absolute killer of a girl-vocal-group soul-dancer out of Memphis. Both sides drip with the undiluted quality you’ve come to expect from a Dan Greer project. No tweeting sugary girlies here guys - this record gives you two recordings from expressive ladies spilling emotion on every note. This is the ultra-rare STOCK copy in just sublime condition. Amazingly, this is a re-listing of a non-fulfilled win - amazing because personally I’d sell all vinyl I needed to be the owner of this 45. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 261.00 Art Freeman Slipping Around A cornerstone in the history of the Twisted Wheel and the evolution of Northern Soul. A fine clean copy, both labels and vinyl are flawless. NOTEthe twice bootlegged FAME repro’s have lousy sound quality - the original 1966 Fame release has perfect fidelity but is possibly 50 times commoner, than this coveted 1966 UK press, making it the highest prized capture of it’s variations. Check out that meaty full-on sound that Polydor in the 60s became renowned for. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 218.00 Rosetta Hightower Big Bird rare UK 45! The former lead singer of The Orlons after leaving the group in 1968 for the shores of England, this was Rosetta’s first solo single arranged and produced by her future husband Ian Green, who selects two soul classics for her flex her revered tonsils on. Top side is an ordinary version of the much-recorded “I Wanna Go Back There Again” - hidden away on the flipside was a record that was to later emerge and more recently take hold as a dancefloor monster - as this Philly Phillie rips into Eddie Floyd’s song and delivers an overwhelming version. Remember no USA release and very elusive! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 54.00 7 Dwarfs Stop Girl AT LAST!! a real-proper 100% genuine ORIGINAL. Incredibly difficult to secure, so often seen listed - but NOT the genuine article. If you need the exact details so you can dig out your much more than likely counterfeit. THEAUTHENTIC ORIGINAL was pressed in very thin flexible vinyl, 2 turn deadwax is 11.60mm wide matrix reads 1168 A F/W. note the figure 8 top circle loop is 4 times bigger than the bottom circle loop. Hold the 1168 @ 6 o’clock the F/W will sit @ 11 o’clock. Very hard to acquire, indeed. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 179.00

repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Jules Johnson And The Dynamics Take A Little Time This Time Now for some REAL Soul, vocal group enthusiasts listen and melt! This is the seriously RARE two sided STOCK copy even though the flip is nothing really special, to the complete soul collector is an elusive piece in the jigsaw. So do “Take A Little Time” to hear a thoroughly seamless slab of two-step soul. Absorb that pleading vocal of Jules Johnson and bathe in the glorious girl-group back up - it is when the girls pause for breathe that Jules steps forward to really elevate this most-soulful and rare 45. Condition is near perfect! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 61.00 repeat no-repeat; "> Harvey Scales Track Down C/w Welcome Home A current MONSTER as yet another killer tune emerges from the Lenny LaCour factory of fabulous Soul recordings. This is perhaps the labels rarest 45 and is currently sitting at the very top of DJ wish list and spins. A click of the soundfile will not only leave you breathless, but also have you begging the question where has this tune been hiding for the last 40 years. Totally Real-Deal Northern Soul thumper, with a huge exclusive pedigree and the essential quality of being a NOW SOUND of true rarity! Bonus - Deep Soul fans you’ll die when you hear the flipside!! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 318.00 repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Billy Kent Take It All This Time C/w Love Me Forever Does SOUL get any finer than this utterly awesome tune? If it does, tell me, tell me, because today this record sent me to a place I’ve not been to for quite some time. The place that the first great soul experience took us all to, at sometime or other; nailing the Soul Boy / Girl to a lifelong quest seeking the long hidden mood-changing treasures. For me this 45 is the STAND-OUTsoul-trip of the year so far. If that wasn’t enough the flip is a mighty fine dance record also - but it just pales against the brilliance of “Take It All This Time” - listen and be prepared for a thought-provoking masterpiece. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 231.00 Sarah Cooke Please Don't Go A sultry and totally alluring example of Sister Big City Sound! 1964 Victor Millrose project that manages to fuse the big production with a beckoning vocal you’ll find irresistible. The “Brill Building” style arrangement incorporates the “Stand By Me” instrumentation that bubbles away to reach boiling point as the kettle drums and girl-group backing lifts this recording into greatness. You can not help but be absolutely enthralled by the whole thing. Please note this 45 is the near impossible to find PERFECT condition, perhaps the only way to listen to this lusting vocal… Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 94.00

repeat: repeat no-repeat; "> Little Stanley The Stran C/w Wanted One of three releases Ricky Vance’s Oakland, California label did with Stanley Lippit; every single gives up potent and purely relentless horn-driven Northern Soul. This examples sits in the middle of the 3, in the most-valuable and most wanted league. But for me personally, Vance’s rip roaring horn section perfectly complimented by Little Stanley’s “rodeo” vocal style makes this offer mine and many other people’s Little Stanley’s finest 45. with the bonus of Bay Area Deep Soul as the flip - some rare record this is! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 533.00 repeat no-repeat; "> High Keys Living A Lie C/w Let's Take A Chance By now every will know the topside as a timeless Northern Soul classic and most-everyone will be heralding the flipside as one of the finest Big City vocal-group Beat Ballads. The power of the flip is quite staggering, but personally I’m more staggered by the amazing MINT - condition and it’s the so seldom seen BLACK stock copy - two awesome sides from the desk of George Kerr in it’s very, very rarest format. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 610.00 Joe Perkins Runaway Slave WARNING don’t listen to it twice - you’ll find yourself loving a Northern Soul style you never ever though you would. This ultra-rare Musicor promo sits firmly in the Big City Popcorn R&B style! You can’t help but like it - it’s full of charm n’ power - as Joe Perkin’s projectile-warble deliciously surfs a full-on brass and string production. This 45 is so very darn rare I can’t even remember the last we had for sale. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 101.00 Ducky And The Glowlighters Over & Over You are viewing one seriously rare 45 - This is only our 2nd. copy ever of this pumping Philadelphia project! But who cares how rare it is, anything that gives off this amount of energy, securely harnessed by an accomplished vocal-group, delivering a torrential street-corner symphony entwined into a thumpin’ foot-to-the-floor Northern Soul production is a must-own, must DJwith. THIS IS NORTHERN SOUL this is DOG-RARE NORTHERN SOUL!! Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 632.00
