Auction: RSV-1397 Ends: 29/08/2019 18:00
Artist: RICKY ALLEN
Title: Cut You Lose
Label: Tam-Boo 6720
Condition: M-
Though born in Nashville, Allen made his way as a blues singer in Chicago (from 1960 onwards), he was frequently pulled towards soul music – what was known as ‘hard soul’ in the Windy City. He had a small hit on Age with ‘Cut You A-Loose’ in ’63 – before updating it in ’67 without any success whatsoever. This is that recording backed with ‘Soul Street’ which is also very in-demand, we have therefore ‘soundbitten’ both sides.

Artist: GEORGE KIRBY
Title: What Can I Do
Label: Cadet 5523 (dj)
Condition: M-
Comedian George Kirby made two or three records of which this is easily the best. A big Wigan first-play for Richard Searling in the late seventies. Kirby’s rather tragic story is revealed in full in Searling’s ‘Setting The Record Straight’ book.

Title: I Know You're Leaving Me
Label: Carmen 1002
Condition: M-
Sylvester Hightower hailed from Florida but this super seventies midtempo piece produced by Natural Four producer Willie Hoskins came out of Hollywood. When mellow, midtempo came back into vogue in the late 80s, this was a leading item

Artist: LEROY BARBOUR
Title: I Ain't Going Nowhere
Label: Frontiersman
Condition: M-
Apparently this obscure label is ‘the sound of the Nobel Jets’, whatever that means. Barbour would appear to be the same singer who in the recent decades has made a plethora of light soul/gospel records, but this seventies release is his first. Producer is Phillip Mitchell, possibly the famous Phillip… but he can’t remember the disc!

Artist: WILLIE WADE
Title: When Push Comes To Shove
Label: Nite Life 70,001 (dj)
Condition: VG++
Wilbur Wade was reputedly a member of the Jades who did ‘I’m Where It’s At’ on the same short-lived, Bell-distributed label. This is the release before the Jades, released in July 1966 and is a splendid double-sider, much mellower than ‘I’m Where It’s At’. ‘Come Into My World’ is also ‘soundbitten’ therefore. The brother of co-writer Warner Wiedler was once married to Doris Day!

Title: Talkin' About My Baby
Label: Topper 1014
Condition: M-
Lots of calls when we set-saled this Detroit gem a few months ago… then the person didn’t send for it! The duo were Dottie Haynes and Millie Weaver and this 1966 release would appear to be their only 45 – certainly under that name.

Artist: ERNEST MOSLEY
Title: Stubborn Heart
Label: La-Cindy 225
Condition: M-
Nice condition is not often found on this classic spin from the mid-seventies. There is a minor mark on the flipside (the official A-side) ‘Keep On Loving Me’, plus someone has written a small number 4 on the ‘Stubborn’ side. We think this is secondary to the Sheppards release which ended up on Mirwood but not by that much and it has always been considerably rarer.

Title: I Don't Need No Fortune Teller
Label: Passion 1
Condition: M-
This 1982 release is certainly the pick of this great group’s somewhat obscure swansong (which continued into the nineties) and recorded at Joel Katz’s Broadway South studio. As far as we can tell this is a different line-up to the sixties group but they still turn out some superb modern soul.

Artist: THE POETS
Title: Wrapped Around Your Finger
Label: J-2 1302
Condition: VG+
Very obscure Juggy Murray label had only 3 ‘didn’t-make-it-past-the-end-of-the-street’ releases, one of which was this wonderful fingersnapper from the Poets, written by lead singer Ronnie Lewis. Certainly has wear on the vinyl but plays well (check soundbite).

Artist: MATT BROWN
Title: Thank You Baby / Sweet Thing
Label: Jar-Val 0006
Condition: M-
Produced and written by Atlanta legend Tee Fletcher, this is the same singer who recorded with his cousin Robert ‘Salvation’ Thomas as Matt and Robert. He was from Macon, Georgia but the Sew City release (New Jersey) by Matthew Brown is also him. Two sides for your money here so we’ve recorded both for you.

Title: I Can't Get Over (Loving You) / I Can Tell
Label: SRI 00017
Condition: M-
Two eighties releases in one auction prove that it didn’t all finish on the 31st December 1979! Out of Miami, this scarce 1981 release has two sides of which the more uptempo ‘I Can Tell’ hasn’t really been featured to our knowledge. We’ve placed it on the soundbite.

Title: My Love Gets Stronger
Label: International City 7102
Condition: M-
New Orleans legend Tommy Ridgley died exactly 20 years ago this month (11th August). Amongst scores of fine recordings going back as far as 1949, this is his Northern soul moment released in 1968 and also done in ‘unreleased-at-the-time’ format by Gloria Edwards.

Artist: ELLA WOODS
Title: I Need Your Love
Label: Merging 420
Condition: M-
An almost totally unknown singer on a late sixties effort out of Los Angeles. Deemed to be a crossover record it would equally fit the description of ‘midtempo Northern Soul’. A whole host of obscure names connected to this 45 remind us that there is still much to be known about the full history of soul.

Condition: M-
Bishop’s instrumental version of the pop standard hits a great groove it has to be admitted and must be rarer on stock copy at the end of the day. Non-hits on major labels are often that way.

Title: Are You Gonna Leave Me
Label: Shirley 119
Condition: M-
Almost perfect condition on this 1966 midtempo winner which shares the same backing track as the Arcades ‘There’s Got To Be A Loser’ with a nod towards ‘I’m The One Who Loves You’ by Jerry Butler or The Impressions. Real name James Herbert McClelland, this is easily the best (and the last) of a clutch of 45s he recorded for the California label in the early 60s.
