You Make Me Happy C/w Let's Make A Whole Lot Of Love

If you’re serious about proper REAL-DEAL-RARE British 45s, this 1955 UK “Melodisc” release sitting inside it’s original thick grainy brown paper sleeve is the British counterpart of the 1954 Aladdin 259 USA disc. Which was passed over, unnoticed by the British public.

  • now 57 years later this is an IMPOSSIBLE 45 to find.

Killer Doo-Wop sits on both sides, created by the prolific young writer Paul Winley, who wrote doo-wop hits for such high-flying vocal-groups as the Clovers.

Click the soundfile to unleash feelgood a 50s vocal-group double-delight. You will be asking yourself what value? if this was released on Gold text London label, instead of this obscure “Melodisc” creation.

On rarity & quality we feel this 45 has been previously totally under-valued. Listen and gaze - We are sure you’ll agree.

Rain Coloured Roses C/w Everything Is You

One of seven 45s this obscure non-hit band released during the 60s. This is one of the highly valued ones.

The DAVID BOWIE composition on the flip side adds to the value of this rare 1968 British PROMO giving up two fine examples of British beat.

The label carries a received stamped date of 21 JAN 1968 and the running time 2.32 discreetly sitting to the top right of the label.

A rare piece and for BOWIE foragers - an important one.

Hard Time C/w Death Rides A Horse

A flawless copy of this sought-after 1969 Pama distributed 45, giving up two Reggae greats back-to-back.

Even holding this disc in strong light, I am struggling to even find a mere blemish on the playing surface, both labels are perfect too.

43 years down the line it is, in 2012, a surprise and a pleasure to handle reggae 45s in this untouched condition - act accordingly.
