Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames

This Scandinavian ONLY rarity showcases the man’s love for black-music. Choosing a non-hit Spinners track and backing it with the style of music from Memphis that was the catalyst for the transforming music policy within those walls.

Debbie Dean And Group

You Ask Me

The lady who treated the Northern Soul fan to “Why Am I Loving You” and “Stay My Love” and the girl group fans just adored her other two Motown 45s. We confidently feel both sets of fans will just love this UNISSUED session from the early 60s on a genuine JOBETE acetate. Slick girly Northern Soul dancer that hits home on two fronts.

Ain't Nothing Like The Love

Hey You! Don't Fight It ! C/w Never Ending Love

Oh the paranoia when the box of these turned up a few years ago. But the depth of the scene and the hoards of serious collectors have left those over-cautious NS curmudgeons regretting not snagging a copy before the supply dried up. Because this is vocal-group Northern Soul at its very finest.. a flawless slab of St. Louis soul. Check out the flipside, another hidden flip worth a surprise outing on the turntables. Two great sides, and elusive once more.

Love And Desire C/w Ecstasy

Stemmons Express

Woman Love Thief C/w Love Power

The original first label 1968 Dallas Texas double-hitter, which borrowed heavily from the Precisions Detroit classic “Such Misery” but surprisingly fails to credit any of the Motor City originators of the tune. Still this is a meaty version and great Northern Soul in it’s own right. Fabulous and highly collectable label, a full year before the Wand 1198 excursion..

Marvelous Marvelettes

Strange I Know, I forgot About You, Which Way Did He Go, Why Must You Go…and so much more. This album is a legend of rarity and a testament to Motown’s graphic designers.

The Touch Of Venus

One of the trophies to lift not only if you collect UK release Soul, this Jobete Music recording should also interest the Tamla Motown completest. It was after all wrote as a Motown song but never saw release by any Motown artist. You can feel that Jobete energy but considering this recording was 1964 it was pure genius from Ed Cobb and way ahead of it’s time. Now rightly standing high in the league table of Northern Soul all-time-greats, and right at the top-end of UK desirables.

Without A Doubt

Not only Bay Area vocal-group 60s NS excellence but also one of the most-beautiful labels ever to have emerge from the depths of entrepreneurial local soul . Are we sad? As I grow older I really appreciate the artwork as much and the music..This is a trophy piece that delivers on both fronts!

The Greater Experience

Don't Forget To Remember

Arthur Fenn this was you’re discovery, and oh how it has stood the test of time. Still sounds just as good as it did on that Sunday afternoon you rocked the Winder Gardens of Cleethorpes with the prize you’d just found. I can tell you now, we were all sick with jealousy..

That's What I Want

One of a few sounds that are coming full circle for a second lease of life. In 1975 legendary Pier DJ Poke would shake the stilts of that cast-iron temple with this pure-undiluted torrent of Northern Soul. Today it sounds evey beat as good, as it did back then.

Four Pro's

Just Another Girl

Gritty grinding vocal-group juggernaut, a thoroughly compulsive driving slab of Northern Soul, that has rightly had a second lease of life in recent times. Maybe a little too harsh in delivery for the few mid-seventies spins in received but today it sounds right on the money. This copy is the rarer West Coast press..
