I Need A Helping Hand C/w My Turn
AT LAST we’ve got a copy with the labels the CORRECT way round - and we could not hope for this Northern Soul classic to be in finer condition. For the NS anorak this really is something, quite pleasing.

James Bell And The Highlighters
Amazing Love C/w Poppin' Pop Corn
Genuine original FIRST press.
This James Bell and Paul Major Indianapolis collaboration crafted two very special recordings.
Topside: The James Jameson style guitar work intro is swiftly swallowed up by the seemingly shoulder to shoulder session steam with subtle horns, oohing vocal-harmony, male-group-chorus, all fused into a fantastically well constructed mid-tempo Northern Soul delight, featuring a late exhibition standard saxophone break.
Well with that level of talent in the room,. you just know the flip is gonna take a different route! and it does - a slab of Deep Funk from the top-drawer!
Two killer sides - showcasing what is possible when some local boys get together and groove…whilst still trying to upstage each other with their instrumental and vocal prowess.

Fabulous Apollos
The One Alone C/w Determination
In matters not which side you drop the stylus on - you will be treated to real-deal grassroots Detroit vocal-group Northern Soul, forgoing the more commercial influences the city’s music scene was under during the mid-sixties.
The result of Val Brown’s conviction to individuality, was two totally irresistible sessions. Currently receiving second-wind on the NS turntables to very appreciative dancefloors. In the unlikelihood of the dancers ever tiring of “The One Alone” …just flip it over..

Yvonne Baker
You Didn't Say A Word
Today, what are the chances of owning one of the best-loved, most-heard and most highly regarded of Sister-Northern-Soul-Classics in near perfect condition?
Those eye-popping West Coast promo labels are PERFECT. The playing surface looks and plays MINT - oh how you gonna find one in this condition, after most-every other copy I’ve never encountered in recent time has endured 40 years plus of Northern Soul turntable affection!
Most all have been loved to death! But not this copy this copy has been loved so much - I doubt the previous owner let it out of his sight.
Act accordingly the chances of acquiring this NS classic in this sublime condition are diminishing by the day.

Judy Hughes
Fine, Fine, Fine C/w Crazy For You
Chester Pipkin is a name that appears on a multitude of 60s California creations - and once you see the moniker of this former “Squires” guitarist you know something special is sitting in those grooves.
A monster Wigan Casino, Richard Searling cover-up that was a stand-out sound of the era, it was after-all so different to the Motownesque girly tunes the punters had been spoon fed with for over a decade.
This “baby” has attitude, a fuzz-guitar rattling away in the background and then the “Magician” Al Capps adds a potent horn break, immediately followed by Bongos driving the production even higher.
So very different for the time, and with RS behind it - it became an iconic “Casino” spin that has remained near impossible to acquire. AWESOME!

Miracles
What's So Good About Good Bye C/w I've Been Good To You

Etta James
The Soul Of Etta James - Uk Album
The irreplaceable Etta…
The cover portrays perhaps the most captivating image of the Queen of R&B and an eye-catching piece of art, and a fabulous tribute to her unrivaled career delivering the most-potent of R&B and Soul one lady could ever hope to muster.
The cover alone, should be hung in every true-soul fan’s home - the music contents of the album, as you’d expect, cover her spectacular range of vocal styles.
A staggeringly RARE 1967 UK press in just flawless condition and only our 2nd copy in over 20 years.

J. D. And Eddie
She's Giving Me Love C/w Now She Wants To Leave
There’s been some Northern Soul underground buzz about this sultry California, horn-propelled Soul duet for quite some time, rarity and rarity alone has prevented a wider awareness,
As in the style of Casanova Two, Pic & Bill etc. this dancer instantly captures your attention, as Eddie Wilson & Big J. D. Wright spew punchy lyrics into a mix of persuasive bluesy guitar riffs and forceful horn intrusions.
The whole thing works up a storm, something Sam& Dave could not have delivered better and just incredibly hard to find!

Bobby Parker
Watch Your Step
Condition, Condition, Condition
In this state, in the year 2012 - this the 1961 British press is a most difficult piece indeed. Currently the USA V-Tone release is gaining club-spins and rapidly gaining in value.
A powerful rockin’ pumpin’ brass laden, guitar-lead early soul Philadelphia dancer, who’s recent comeback onto the Rare-Soul turntables is long, long overdue.

Ronny Douglas
Worth Waiting For
A monster on the New York “Island” scene for decades is starting to cause a ripple or two amongst the better informed Northern Soul explorers.
Since the Al McCarther style big-city-beater was so enthusiastically received by the NS fraternity; a few equally fine and just as rare mid-pace 60s masterpieces have stepped forward to fill the vacuum left by “His True Love For You”
After listening to soundfile It will come as no surprise whatsoever that this killer was written and produced by the extremely skills Ritchie Adams the master of Big-City production.
As for Ronny Douglas - what a cultured vocal - check out his other impossible 45 on Everest, which is every note as good.

Mckinley Mitchell
All Of A Sudden C/w I'm So Glad
Not only one of this iconic Chicago label’s rarest 45s but also atwo fine examples of Mckinley’s deep down dirty singing style at it’s most emotional.
On the 1st side he is aided by a studio full of enthusiastic ladies,giving-up a shrill non-stop chorus to smooth out his pain. Superb…
On the dae I say superior 2nd side he deserts the girls, creating an even more despairing session, as his vocals reach out to claw at his pain, resulting in even greater despondency. As the early 60s Chicago rainy sidewalks literally seep from the speakers evoking visions of a man walking away from the doors of 1827 South Michigan, Chicago knowing today he reached as far into his soul as was humanly possible.
Proper real deal SOUL on a real-deal label of huge repute.
