Sam Cooke and Sound Dimension - Love Me / Lost And Looking - Studio ?  STU 002 PS

Sam Cooke and Sound Dimension

Love Me / Lost And Looking

Studio ? : STU 002 PS (45s)

Now seldom seen 2006 Jamaican adaptation of a Sam Cooke "popcorn" given an Island makeover - oh how good is this? No wonder the initial run sold out almost immediately and now commands an healthy cult-following for ownership. We know it an unofficial press but we thought everyone should bathe in its standout quality

Listen and prepare to be mesmerised, no matter which side you drop the arm on, like so many have before you, utterly enslaved by Coxsone Dodd's makeover bring in his studio band "Sound Dimension" to captivate you with their irresistible rhythms from Studio ? and Don Lorenzo's secretive production.

Dodd takes Sam's gorgeous 1960 ballad on RCA adding Caribbean flavours into the mix, a recipe for an enthralling mid-tempo cocktail of soulfulness crocheted into a Jamaican backdrop provided by one of the most accomplished producers and studio bands available at the time.

Two awesome sides that nearly 20 years later, this limited disc, that seldom comes to market.

Prince Buster All Stars - Land Of Imagination / The Barrister (The Appeal) - Blue Beat ‎– 45/BB 391

Prince Buster All Stars - Land Of Imagination / The Barrister (The Appeal) -

Blue Beat: 45/BB 391 (45s)

Cornelius Campbell croons a rather ordinary love ballad for the a-side - but redeems himself with another brush with the law, as the "rude boy" shows up to court with an English Barrister sporting "dreadlocks" on his head. The Judge is not amused, as the judgement story for the new acquainted "Judge Dread" unfolds, the accused eventually gets 6,000 years imprisonment as the judge becomes more irate as the proceedings expand, no matter what pleas his "Dreadlock" adorned Barrister puts forward, the damage has already been done.

Another humorous, uplifting Rock Steady groove from "Buster"

Another tale of mischief and misfortune, set to an uplifting, sympathetic horns roll out a the dance pulses, partitioned by a killer trumpet break. You can't help but fall in love with the "message" you feel must have originated from a true event.

The ballad lead side, has its charms as we experience "Prince Buster All Stars" in a different light.

Importantly this is a fine clean copy, 4 prong centre intact, elusive in this condition. Strong gloss on vinyl reveals only mild, soft forgivable hairlines.

Jackey Robinson / Bob Taylor - Heart Made Of Stone / I May Never See My Baby Anymore - Punch PH 50

Jackey Robinson / Bob Taylor

Heart Made Of Stone / I May Never See My Baby Anymore

Punch: PH 50 (45s)

Another superior Phill Prat creation from the golden age of "Skinhead", employing a fundamental member "Pioneers" member from with the self-penned "Heart Made Of Stone", showcasing uplifting keyboard manipulation, completely matched, for complimenting Jackey's authentic and highly soulful vocal renown.

Catchy, whirling keyboard pulses provide the dance element, Jackey giving up the vocal class required to lift the session to another level.

The effortless and highly regarded young vocal of Bob Taylor immediately captures your attention with his first release, serves up a simplistic but highly effective plea of impending loneliness. A voice that only made 45 release on just 3 occasions, before fading into obscurity in 1975.

Seldom seen for sale, two great sides.

Ronnie Mitchell - How Many Times / The Only One - London 45-HLU 9220

Ronnie Mitchell

How Many Times / The Only One

London: 45-HLU 9220 (45s)

Another really elusive "London" number, from October 1960. London 45-HLU 9220, is 45 most London completists will have missing from their run.

Ronnie Mitchell a Johnny Nash, Lenny Welch, Gene McDaniels' styled "black" balladeer, a crooner with a beautifully rich, smooth as velvet delivery. A New Yorker who worked with some great producers, notably Teacho Wiltshire, Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, Doug Morris to name but a few. Releasing 45s on Blue Cat, Brunswick, Hour Glass, Spectrum, Laurie etc. But somehow never catching the attention of the British Soul collector.

This listing is for London collectors, because it is so hard-to-find especially as the two sided "stock" copy. Before you today.

A soul crooner that somehow flew under the radar.

Take a listen... to two seamless floaters.

Medation

No Peace / Peace Version

Upsetters : no # (45s)

1977 original press., before "Black Art" in fine clean condition, Rare 45 from gift Jamaican harmony vocal trio formed in 1973 by Danny Clarke, Winston Watson and Ansel Cridland.

A Lee Perry creation, showcasing a classy gentle n' jazzy mid-tempo class decorated by shrill girl group chorus, ducking under crashing cymbals, and a steady strollin' pulses carry the seesion forward. A jazzy tenor saxophone elevates the session even further. Truly cool tune, with a stripped down "version" where it unveils all the intricacies of the arrangement...

We love it!

Wailers - Simmer Down / Sunday Morning - Ska Beat JB 186

Wailers

Simmer Down / Sunday Morning

I Don't Need Your Love: JB 186 (45s)

Different flipside to the later Jamaican press.

"Simmer Down" is an iconic/classic club anthem. Two definitive Coxsone Dodd Rock Steady compositions.

An inspiring trumpet saturated Rock Steady dance groove, endowed with a wave after wave of enthusiastic high-pitched mixed group vocalization, partitioned with a soothing sax break before in jumps back into SKA dance mode.

We just adore it!

Flipside is a fabulous saxophone dominated Ska mover, inspired Soul vocal-harmony dancer with a rasping lead vocal, contrasted by shrill girl-group choruses. Classic 1965 of the highest calibre.

Blues 5 - When You're In Love / Hey Baby - Studio 36 no number

Blues 5

When You're In Love / Hey Baby

Studio 36: no number (45s)

BEYOND RARE!

How pleased are we?... to get this "impossible" British "MOD beat" record back in stock, in a trade deal for some Northern Soul, as it is an insanely RARE 1964 British private press release, manufactured in Northampton by an undocumented band (any information would be gratefully received)

STUDIO 36 was the same company that pressed "The Quakers - It's Alright" - the British Beat Holy Grail that had a documented press of only FIFTY copies, We suspect this 45 by BLUES 5 received perhaps even less, STUDIO 36 did do runs of a meagre TEN. The Blues 5 is significantly rarer than that impossible 45 from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Our local group The Quakers did have another 45 released on Oriole.

But for "The Blues 5" "When You're In Love" their self composed thumper, this was their one and only release.

A stronger rhythmic Brit beater, driven by skilled and relentless strumming guitar, a racing vocal backed up with a well timed male group chorus. Some great guitar solo pauses, showcase a deliciously primitive performance decorated with strong lead voice with group vocal choruses, and tight harmonisation .

Totally beyond RARE, on a label that helped just 7 bands achieve a vanity release for friends, neighbors of give-away promo in the hope a record company may pick up on their unknown talent. .

Of the 7 bands they pressed 45's for "The Quakers" were the only group to release more than one solitary single, The Quakers had two.

Rumored as a "50" only press is a ridiculous low number - this 45 is as rare as it gets, if you collect UK singles, but maybe as little as 10 pressed as samples for the band.
The Quakers 45 on Studio 36 is a "confirmed by a band member" as a 50 only run.

The Imposters - Wipe In / Tulsa -  The Frogdeath ‎FROTH 1

The Imposters‎

Wipe In / Tulsa

The Frogdeath : FROTH 1 (45s)

Tough to find in clean condition, New Mexico Surf!

From the desk of popular El Paso radio DJ and TV personality Steve Crosno. This popular, slightly quirky music enthusiast started "The Frogdeath" label designing of of the world's most memorable 60's record labels.

Imposters - Wipe In / Tulsa - The Frogdeath launch his label in 1963. Little Stevie Crosno carried on his enterprise with 8 more releases until 1967. These included some fine nasty Garage sessions, a couple of brass saturated Soul movers.

This "Imposters" give a fabulous account of themselves with "Wipe In" complete with wacky ghoulish vocal encouragement, but is a blatant planarization of "The Surfaris - Wipe Out" whilst the flipside "Tulsa" is much more ordinary plectrum workout.

Rare 45, on a collectable cult label, seldom encountered in such fine clean condition

Mr. Lucky and The Gamblers - Take A Look At Me / I Told You Once Before - Dot 45-16930

Mr. Lucky and The Gamblers

Take A Look At Me / I Told You Once Before

Dot : 45-16930 (45s)

North West 1966 Garage happening from a smartly presented 6 man gathering from Newport, Oregon.

Starting out in 1964 as "The Blazers" updating their name to "Mr. Lucky and The Gamblers" because "Mr. Lucky" was formerly a popular CBS TV program with John Vivyan playing the lead roll. It worked as they got booking all around Portland, Oregon. Expanding their band as they incorporated "The Rogues" into band giving it a harsher "punk" feel to their style.

In 1966 whilst supporting and impressing Don and The Goodtimes. Don Galluci and the lads were so impressed with Mr. Lucky and The Gamblers that they helped seal a record deal for them with Jerry Dennon's Panorama label. Resulting in two local hits "Take A Look At Me" tune, written and produced by Bob Holden and Don Galluci (of Don and The Goodtimes)), and Alice Designs (LSD Signs), which was produced by Bob Holden and produced by Don Galluc.

Flipside is a California sunshine pop harmony tune "I Told You Once" moody production sits into Northern Soul blue-eyed dance territory .

Two fine sides, in fabulous condition!

Tim James - Strange Things / Motions - Delcro 45-502

Tim James

Strange Things / Motions

Delcro : 45-502 (45s)

From the renowned bay area label Music City comes this 1975 Ray Dobard production that is now making big waves throughout the Soul/Psyche/Funk/jazz community with its sulking atmospheric delivery by this mysterious Bay Area artist, and his self-penned double creation. One side "Motions" picking up Funk DJ interest, the original a-side "Strange Things" considered a vinyl-prize by Psyche/Jazz collectors.

Typically inventive Bay Area production on the same label that released that highly regarded Soul group harmony ballad by "Teardrop Tears" released shortly before to launch the label with Delcro 501, considered for decades as an Holy Grail of Californian sweet soul.

Both Delcro releases recorded at the famous Music City Studios 1815 Alcatraz, Berkeley, 3 Calif. but total opposites in design. The mysterious musician Tim James crafts two captivating and individualistic recordings. "Motions" being a jangling guitar dominated mid-tempo benefitting from heavy percussion and Tim's moody approach and sparing lyrics, crammed full of useable "breaks & beats" as its eerie qualities wash over you. A sleeper due to its extreme rarity but now emerging both sides of the Atlantic as a style rare-Soul DJ's are starting to air.

The other side "Strange Things" carries a weightier leaning towards Psyche/Jazz with more of an emphasis on his spooky singing style.

Both sides capture the Bay Area's psyche mood, still prevalent during mid-70s with notes paying homage to the Haight - Ashbury era, a throwback session of real quality. At the moment we cannot find out too much about this obvious local talent, that Ray Dobard released this lone single on.

All we do know, is both sides are great and interest is building worldwide in its obvious potential and this copy is in perfect condition.

Do not pass by, the 45 is on the move, on several different scenes across the world.

Soul Cats - Your Sweet Love / Keep It Moving - Camel CA 23

Soul Cats

Your Sweet Love / Keep It Moving

Camel: CA 23 (45s)

One of my favorite "label-art" designs from the golden days of Pama Records, championing classic Skinhead Reggae of 1969 / 70.

As the group name suggests, the SoulCats were heavily influence by the US Soul sounds. Camel 23 gives up two horn dominated feel-good dancers. Especially "Keep It Moving" which borders on Northern Soul, fabulous brass filled arrangement.

Listen two impressive "Soul" influenced recordings.

Wailers

Ska Jerk / I'm Still Waiting

Coxsone : FC 6909 (45s)

Bob Marley and the boys rework Jr. Walker's "Shot Gun" into moody sulking SKA dancer saturated in "saxophone" manipulation of the highest order. Authentic dancefloor brilliance.

On the flipside The Wailers again pulled from their admiration for the Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions serving up a haunting vocal-group harmony stepper beautifully elevated by sympathetic horn prompts, another killer tune. Tight, emotional, example of top-drawer Jamaican soul.

Two superior tunes on one disc.
