Hazel & The Jolly Boys The Fugitives
Stop Them C/w Deep Down
One of the more elusive 45s on this most-sought-after British vehicle for Ska & Reggae. The sight of a Doctor Bird label always stirs interest.

A mix of Aitken’s rap, gunshots and the persistent rhythm make for an unforgettable dance experience
Take a listen to this totally compelling dance floor groove - and remember how elusive this 45 is!
Neat clean vinyl reveals only light insignificant surface blemishes that DO NOT affect plays - a-side label has a faded “Penguin” motif on the centerpiece.

Clarendionians C/w Dynamites
Walking Up A One Way Street C/w Instrumental
Warwick Lynn -produces a killer version of the Willie Tee New Orleans Soul classic “Walking Up A One Way Street”
Check out he lead singers nicotine-coated vocal as he rips into this much-loved song, giving-up on-your-knees performance, a beseeching delivery that shines a different light on these lyrics that very soul-boy & girl know off by heart.
Dare I say this has more soul, that would kick a hornet’s nest of controversy. But you will most likely be wondering which version you like the best - I certainly am!

Toots And The Maytals
Funky Kingston C/w Country Road
Amazingly relegated to the b-side of a Frederick Hibbert interpretation of a John Denver song. Is a compelling blend of Reggae, Funk & Africa influences all brought together by bad-attitude guitar work & a snarling lead vocal.
Some tune this is, covering all points of Black Music Dance even incorpotrating some JB style riffs - AWESOME!

Red Saunders With Delores Hawkins
Hambone C/w Rumble Mambo
We do like to present the weird and wonderful and this 1963 remake of the 1952 recording, that featured on Sandy Becker’s TV show “Sandy’s Hour”
Sandy Becker weird TV character sitting under a desert helmet with feater out the back. Glaring sometimes face pressed hard to the camera lense through those trademark coke-bottle glasses,military jacket was a vision that maybe Elton John drew inspiration from some years later.
Sandy would dance to Red Saunders “Hambone” twist himself into strange contortions as he glided across the stage.
So this rare 45 offers 60s TV interest, we have the iconic collectable label OKEH, we have a very rare Picture sleeve and an instrumental “Tittyshaker” on both sides, as Red Saunders plagiarizes Duane Eddy.
In the crazy world of record collecting the is a MUST own!

Lloyd Tyrell
Mr. Ryha C/w After Dark
Aka Lloyd Charmers of the Charmers singing under his birth name on one of those attractive late 60s Pama distributed labels.
Again the golden era of 1969 churns out another great Skinhead Reggae dance tune. Topside is an upbeat session with Lloydie’s silky vocal supported by an uncredited male vocal harmony, innovative instrumental break pulls the session together.
This is classic-style ‘69 reggae in the finest condition possible - both the vinyl & the labels are flawless.

Keetie And The Kats
That's The Way C/w Dreamer's Romance
Elusive 1959 Indiana Rockabilly exhibiting spectacular guitar work backed by a persistent double-Bass strums, producing a totally-infectious dance-rhythm. Underneath the “Keetie and the Kats” label credit is the slogan “The Rockinest Of The Rockin” after experiencing this tune - you can’t argue with that statement.
Flip it over for a Rockin’ stroller incorporating funeral-paced but gutsy guitar work, driving this atmospheric rocker’s lament, with a lengthy guitar, piano break finishing it all off.

Tony Cody
Walk On By
A master-class in Fuzz Guitar!
Mr. Cody certainly wasn’t taking inspiration from Dionne Warwick when he performed this trilling rendition. But more likely he owned a copy of Isaac Hayes’s legendary “Black Moses” album in which Mr. Hayes transforms Bert Bacharach & Hal David stroller into a mountainous masterpiece.
Then along comes this British session which raises the bar yet again - now consider an under-the-radar work tat can only climb in value as more and more collectors get to hear this rarity.
Yes it really is that good…! and obscure in the extreme!

Winston Harewood
I Will Never Fall In Love Again C/w La-fud-del
At the turn of the 60sPama’s label design department was an inspiration to all us young market stall foragers. As surplus reggae singles seemed to litter all the major cities of England.
How could you resist Camel, Escort, etc. We couldn’t, curiosity was to strong, unfortunately many of these eye-catching labels got defaced, either to keep the titles a secret or to ensure with names & doodlin’ everyone at the party knew the record was yours.
Today 4 decades on, these labels in perfect condition are so highly desirable..they are British Pop-Art at it’s most imaginative. And many like this offering, giving up really fine Jamaican tunes.
Check out the soundfile - this 45 is so much more tan just a pretty face,

Johnny Fallin
Party Kiss C/w The Creation Of Love
Astonishing condition for this 1959 rocker - still retains company sleeve, both labels are flawless, vinyl only reveals some light insignificant blemishes in strong light.
both sides written by Johnny Fallin himself, the man glides through a crazed paino led “rappin” rocker, featuring spectacular guitar work as the session hots up.
The flip will please “Teen” fans, as Johnny get’s to grips with a haunting arrangement with Angel-like girl chorus but again the star of the session is the highly skilled guitar work.
54 years old and so hard to find in such clean condition.

Satellites
Dark Town Strutter's Ball C/w Each Night
Our penchant for the unusual and very obscure manifests itself with this late 50s Teener with two strong sides.
Topside is a vocal-harmony Teen ballad, understated vocals glide along , in what is an archetypical Teener until a great guitar break picks up attitude; this guitar work is about to be let loose when you flip it over.
Flipside The satellites take the 1917 hit for Shelton Brooks, imaginatively revamping “Darktown Strutters Ball” into a fresh upbeat shaker, starting like a Teen ballad then after a short intro transforms into a frantic Teen Rocker, which also showcases some wild guitar work.
Two neat sides - one very obscure 45, we think comes out of Augusta, Ga.

Pyramids
To Sir With Love C/w Reggae Shuffle
Skinhead band Simaryp reverse their name to deliver a great version of Lulu’s classic from the 1967 movie of inner London school life.
After a string of Skinhead titled tunes, the band under the guidance of “soul” orientated Johnny Arthey get their tight-harmony together for this inventive take, revolutionizing the ballad into a cultured dance groove, with full orchestra support.
The main thing about this 43 year old record is the eye-popping condition which is nothing short of flawless!

Sharon Forrester
Silly Wasn't I C/w Version
Ms. Forrester floats through this Nick Asford, Valerie Simpson & Joshie Jo Armstead composition with a vivacious high-pitch that just makes you feel good.
Killer mid-tempo from 1973 in just fabulous condition, one brief very light sleeve-contact blemish otherwise labels and vinyl are Mint -
So relax and listen to a lady, with a vocal as shrill as they come, glide through this fine down-beat dance production
