Chuck Sargent and the Ambassadors
Don't You Ever Go / I'm Afraid You'll Put Me Down
Cuca: 1079 (45s)
Release # 1079 was one of their real winners from a collectors standpoint. Giving up not one but two Doo-Wop rockers.
Both sides written by Chuck Sargent himself, an authentic 1962 D.I.Y. shot at local stardom and maybe beyond.
Inspired by the best of the East Coast harmony sound, a slow-start intro is in place before it sails skyward on a wave of handclapping feel-goodness. An hybrid of Rock & Roll elevated by tight harmonizing. One cool tune from Wisconsin. It complimented by an even better flipside. Slightly edgier, with a killer guitar break and wailing choruses taking up and beyond.
Two great sides, one very elusive disc especial in most likely previously unplayed Mint minus condition.
Condition Report
Two perfect labels, vinyl only gives up the faintest of hairlines under direct light.
Bob Crewe
Water Boy / Voglio Cantare
London : HLI 9077 (45s)
A huge big-city production, with Bob Crewe plus long term right hand man Frank Slay guiding proceedings of the revamping of a 1926 "Jail Song" first recorded by Paul Ribeson. With all the drama of "16 Tons" "Chain Gang" and the like Bob Crewe wails out the "Water Boy's" challenge, just how writer Avery Robinson envisaged the "Convict" with a desperate thirst.
Chain gang workers come to life as a fanfare of skyward trumpets take you deep into their hopeless incarceration. Mr. +Crewe does such as fabulous vocal job within a outrageously powerful production.
On the flipside Bob Crewe takes on a Bobby Darin persona mixing his big jazz vocal into the big band backing track
Two strong sides, rarely, if ever surfacing for sale, Especially in this impeccable condition.
A London collectors opportunity not to miss...
Condition Report

Condition Report
two flawless labels, a-side vinyl is a clean excellent plus, just a light hairlines revealed under direct light plays clean. Flipside vinyl reveals one turntable retrieve surface brush, not affecting play. just a brief light superficial fingernail surface brush. picture cover is free of writing, splits, stickers or tears. it does however have some sparse storage browning see images proved. .
Rhythm Playboys
Wild side Of Life / Wildfire
Summit Records : 117 (45s)
The value side for me is the crazy-strong instrumental on the flipside. A mad intro of kicking oil-drums, begin this Norman Herman's composition; played out by himself on the guitar, to a rural landscape of archaic bashing of tins or is it an empty kettle that that's keeping time on this brilliantly authentic 1955 jam session.
LOVE IT!
RARE in the extreme and probably the gatherings only 45, I can't find another disc made by this Central City team from Kentucky!
Condition Report
Two clean labels, very mild storage rub see images provided.
Phyllis Dillon / Tommy McCook
Midnight Confessions / Midnight (version)
Treasure Isle : TI 7070 (45s)
This impressive instrumental flipside is so typically "McCook" with precise instrumentation of dance pulses, with distant horns hovering aloft. Occasional vocal chorus from Phyllis upscaling the stripped back version, whilst reminding us of Treasure Isle main-girl vocalist's silky throat.
Two strong sides in rarely seen clean condition.
Condition Report
Two flawless solid centre Treasure Island labels, vinyl that reveals only the merest surface hairline under direct light.
Chesmann Square
Circles ( Instant Party ) / Try
Lion Records : 1002 (45s)
A fabulous reworking of Pete Townsend's 1966 composition "Circles" considered a "Who" attitude saturated masterpiece way ahead of its time, opening the way for the Psychedelic Rock era the swamp the UK scene. . also famously covered by The Fleur De Lys on Immediate. The Who original "Circles" end up with two titles and two slightly different versions as The Who broke away from producer Shel Talmy's contract. Into the guidance of Kit Lambert. Apparently while they were in litigation with Talmy, they re-recorded "Circles" as "Instant Party", with Kit Lambert producing.
Local 1969 Kansas tribute to this great song quotes both titles in the credit "Circles ( Instant Party )" Take listen to a very worthy version featuring spectacular guitar work, accomplished percussion and t8ight harmony vocals.
The flipside "Try" is a dreamy / trippy acoustic stroller, reminiscent of The Nazz.
Two great local sides, becoming harder and harder to find.
Condition Report
Two clean labels, vinyl although visually has multiple light surface marks, plays beautifully clean, listen to the double soundfile lifted directly off this disc. NOTE please bid as if there were no picture cover, the picture cover has a hole punched through, see images. it's nice to have with it, but we don't consider it carries much added value with that significant flaw.
Royals / Cannoball Bryan Trio
Never See Come See / Jumping Jack
Amalgamated : AMG 831 (45s)
Proven with this 1968 Joe Gibbs session, rich vocal blend with a whirling Hammond pulses creating instant dancefloor fuel.
But note, this 45 is not just a brilliant one-sider. The flipside carries just as much dancefloor muscle, listen to Karl Bryan leading his trio through a compelling Saxophone saturated instrumental, including some thrilling high quality sax-breaks of squealing excellence.
Two top tunes on one elusive disc.
Condition Report
Clean labeks, original push-out centre removed. a-side vinyl reveals ligfht hairlines and a couple of scratches that cause a click on the intro. this soon clear leaving a clean disc to enjoy. listen to the soundfile lifted from this actual 45. The flipside is a grade better just inconsequential hairlines with no clicks. a-side vinyl is vg; flipside is vg+ to excellent. listen to both sides is their loud naked glory.
