7″s

I use the Record Collector standard to grade my records – as below:

M is ONLY for reissues / new releases / sealed records
M- is a pretty much unplayed record for me – any obvious signs that a record has been played and I usually downgrade to an EX+
EX+ is a very strong grade for me – just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn at all.
VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.
VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player
VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape – lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks – not nice.

Kenny Gamble ‘The Joke’s On You’ / ‘Loving Me Don’t Stop’ (Arctic / USA / 1970s / Ex+) £15 £8

( Seeing how a genuine OG will set you back the best part of £1000.00, I think we can safely assume that this is a later press? Black / white label-pressed copy  and in amazing condition for a record that is already the best part of 40 years old…one of THE biggest Northern Soul oldies of all time, natch… )

Janet Kay ‘You Bring The Sun Out’ (Arista / UK / 1982 / Ex) £8 £4

( One of THE sweetest / best Lovers Rock vocalists on the block, was Janet…I always dug this and it was actually a minor local hit in my hometown, Birmingham, when I was a lad – flip is also special – a dubbed-out, delightful version from keyboards / Studio wizard, Jackie Mittoo which he called ‘Jackies Rockers’ – love, love, LOVE this kids and so will you…stunning condition… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVPDu20MYEE

Johnny Alf ‘Samba De Retorno’ (Aristas-Unidos / Brazil / 1968 / Ex) £50 £30

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0zoEf03GHE

Junior Wells  ‘Up In Heah’  / ‘Junior’s Groove’ (Bright Star / USA / 1960s / Ex) £10 £5

( 2 good R&B / Northern sides here – one vocal the other instrumental – ok – so these tracks are not in quite the same league as ‘Mystery Train’ or ‘I Got A Stomach Ache’ but still very, very good cuts…grab a bargain… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CGQolbg33Y

Jeannie Piersol ‘Gladys’ / ‘With Your Love’ (Cadet Concept / USA / 1968 / VG+) £15 £8

( New one on me? Any/everything on this highly-inventive Chicago label is worth a listen in my book and this one’s no exception – hard to pigeon-hole so I won’t even try – it’s sorta Psyche-Funk-Soul with a strong West Coast feel and a kinda detuned vocal which often sounds ‘wrong’ but then again sounds SO ‘right’ – also strong shades of Minnie Riperton / Rotary Connection here and the total key / tempo change at the end also floored me – strong dash of Freakbeat sensibility in there too – what can I say? Have a listen….beautiful harp parts here too – could that be the one and only Dorothy Ashby plucking the strings? Well. It’s the right era and right studio – so…both sides SERIOUSLY recommended…bit grubby having been in warehouse storage for years and years before being rescued…I’ll give it a good clean before I ship it… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aq2HLcfods

Lou Rawls ‘Soul Serenade’ (Capitol / UK / 1968 / VG) £4 £2

( Nice to see Lou’s star in the ascendant once more – David Axelrod is at the desk again here (along with Lou’s other long-term co-collaborator, H.B. Barnum) and we get a lovely, warm sound – midpaced – which has had many spins on the NS scene down the years – has had many, many spins and is deffo not 100% but  don’t worry too much, just whack the treble right up and get on the floor… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u1zRSRsV7E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTSk00QfgeE

George and the Highlanders ‘The Hawk’ / ‘Smoking Bananas’ (DeBrossard / USA / 1960s / VG+) £75 £50

Yes I Do’ , ‘So Long’ and  ‘I Do Just What I Want’ – beautiful item..sleeve is very clean and vinyl not far behind with just a few marks / scuffs here and there – wonderful slice of Black Music history… )

Orchestra Harlow ‘Latin Roots’ (Fania / USA / 1975 / M-) £20 £10

Spiders Webb ‘I Don’t Know What’s On Your Mind….’ (Fantasy / UK / 1976 / Ex) £8 £4

( More killer Jazz-Funk from a golden era – just pure class all the way with a bouncing bassline, huge strings and layered vocals all riding over a wobbly guitar part – nutty breakdown midway in where Mr Keyboards is given his chance to shine..again, middle is dinked but so what – stunning 45 and one that’s always been tough to find on 7”…file nest to Lonnie ‘Liston’ Smith ‘Expansions’ etc etc… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nr1pHmoaFs

James Carr ‘Talk, Talk’ / ‘She’s Better Than You’ (Goldwax / USA / 1960s / Ex) £10 £5

( Some folks rate this guy’s voice as one of THE best in the business – yep – have to agree – it’s pretty amazing all told….two great R&B / Soul sides here and this one an even tougher WDJ copy too – very clean apart from a few non-audible scuffs here and there… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0GWJAO30rY

Joe ‘Mr G’ August ‘Tell Me’ (Instant / USA / 1960s / Ex) £8 £4

( Raucous call n’response R&B from the early-60s – this guy sounds incredibly like Georgie Fame to me? It isn’t of course but certainly added to my enjoyment whilst listening to this tune today – needs a good clean after being in storage for years and years and has some (minor) label damage too – still a lovely item, though… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoomOyqxH8g

Jimmy ‘Soul’ Clark ‘If I Only Knew Then…’ / ‘Do It Right Now’ (Karen / USA / 1960s / VG+) £10 £5

The Vulcans ‘Double Barrel’ (Klik / UK / 1976 / Ex+) £15 £8

( For me this is just as good as anything these madcap session guys did on Trojan, Bigshot etc – more Reggae-Got-Moog from Bunny Lee & The Revolutionaries Band ‘incognito’ and they make a merry mash-up of the Dave & Ansel Collins skin classic here – love, love, LOVE this group’s stuff…slays me…lovely copy here too.. )

Soundfile / scan – 7080

Willie Mitchell ’20-75’ / ‘Secret Home’ (London / UK / 1964 / VG+) £15 £8

( One of Willie’s rarest AND best UK releases…both sides bang it hard…in amazing shape for a 48 year old record…middle has been dinked and there are a few stickers on the label but overall it’s in damned good shape (needs a clean more than anything!) – this tune’s history goes right back to the dawn of both the Northern Soul scene and the Modernist era…Willie passed away very recently – what a talent…R.I.P, Willie… )

Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity ‘Shadows Of You’ (Marmalade / UK / 1968 / VG+) £8 £4

( More Mod / Psyche / Fuzz class from these groundbreaking visionaries – great condition here too – just with the usual dinked middle – flip is also well-worthy being ‘Road To Cairo’ – wasn’t Marmalade a great label? Yep… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EJjto5yTog

David Ruffin ‘Blood Donors Needed’ (Motown / USA / 1973 / Ex) £5 £2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9cRWFsxAcY

Wilson Simonal ‘Brasil, Eu Fico + 3’ (Odeon EP / Brazil / 1970 / Ex/Ex) £25 £12

( Possibly this guy’s first-ever recording/release? Hard to find in decent shape at all thesedays and the title track is just SO good…33 RPM all the way…stunning Bossa Nova sounds with a strong dash of da fonk thrown in for good measure… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aonfA5zYWro

Dyke & The Blazers ‘So Sharp’ / ‘Don’t Bug Me’ (Original Sound / USA / 1960s / VG) £4 £2

The Delfonics ‘Ready Or Not, Here I Come’ (Philly Groove / USA / 1973 / VG+) £8 £4

( If this was a bit cleaner, I’d slap £15 on it cos it’s always been hard to find – huge sample source in Hip Hop down the years but most recently for The Fugees / Lauryn Hill – sounds amazing – needs a clean but PLEASE play L-O-U-D… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2srxQJws8

Creative Source ‘Pass The Feeling On’ (Polydor / 1975 / USA / VG+) £8 £4

( TUNE…been a long time since I listened to this – 20 years? May I say that I think these guys are one of the most underrated groups of this era – their stuff always had an ‘edge’ if you know what I mean – quirky as hell, and, this is a big fave of mine – the male / female vocal interplay is just magic – killer 45 – that flute solo just floored me…I also have a UK copy for £5…same condition….Michael Stokes was a studio magician… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqT6db3BnEk

 Antonio Carlos e Jocafi ‘Batucada’ (RCA / USA / 1977 / Ex+) £10 £5

( Beautiful demo copy of this much-loved Brazilian Club anthem – flip has Djalma Correia doing ‘Bate Bate’ which is more uptempo / high-octane but none the worse for that – great, great double-sider for a tenner…exquisite condition too… )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFycPjywvTM

Nancy Sinatra ‘Sugar Town’ (Reprise / UK / 1966 / Ex+) £3 £1

( Brilliant slice of Lee Hazelwood songcraft – his lyrical genius coupled with Nancy’s irresistible voice make this unmissable…’Summer Wine’ on the flip features Lee himself on vox and is also just great…)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjsh2j7W6Bo

The Ad Libs ‘Dance With Me Children pts 1 & 2’ (Right On! / USA / 1977 / M-) £10 £5

( My eyes always light up when I come across anything I’ve not yet heard on this label so I was pleased when this popped up – seems to be Canadian-only? Storming uptempo Disco-Soul which actually sounds like a proto House track at some points – the flip really hots up….ok – so, it’s not as good as some of the other stuff on this ever-giving label like The Crow, Rozaa & Wine etc etc but it’s definitely ticking several boxes….great condition… )

Soundfile / scan – 7116

Harlem River Drive ‘Seeds Of Life pts 1 & 2’ (Roulette / USA / 1972 / Ex+) £30 £15

Soundfile / scan – 7120

The Total Capacity ‘Who’s Who pts 1 & 2’ (Sensation / USA / 1970s / Ex+) £5 £2

Jewel Bass ‘I Don’t Trust Myself’ / ‘Overflowing (For You)’ (Special Agent / UK / 1976 / M-) £15 £8

Lee Dorsey ‘Holy Cow’ / ‘Operation Heartache’ (Stateside / UK / 1966 / VG+) £5 £2
