Artist:

DANNY OWENS


Title:

I Can't Be A Fool For You


Label:

Manhattan 804


Condition: M-
Always a rarer record than people conceive of and never spun as much as it might have been either. Actually an L.A. recording and nothing to do with the eponymous label name or distributors Dover Records (of New Orleans).
  
Reserve Price: £400.00

ADAM'S APPLES


Title:

Don't Take It Out On This World


Label:

Brunswick 55330 (dj)


Condition: VG++
So massive at Wigan, Cleethorpes and everywhere else (tho’ I don’t remember it at the Highland Room) back in ‘75/76. A very obscure soul group from New Jersey who made just two, rather excellent, 45s for Brunswick in 1967 and 1968.

THE GYPSIES


Title:

It's A Woman's World (You Better Believe It)


Label:

Old Town 1184


Condition: VG+
Strong VG++, just a few very light marks. Famously the group lost a member, became The Flirtations on Josie and Festival, before a move to the UK and Deram Records.

Current Bid: £300.00

MAJESTEE'S


Title:

Take Back All Those Things


Label:

Mutt 18381


Condition: VG++
Light green original label (there is a darker green repro with poor sound quality) from 1966, this is the year this 5-man group was formed in Highland Park, Michigan. The group contained Angelo Bond who later had a solo career on ABC.

LITTLE WILLIE JOHNSON


Title:

Loneliness


Label:

Vendella's 101


Condition: VG++
First time ever on our list! A supremely rare 45 out of Savannah, Georgia (where this fabulous local singer hailed from). Never ever been for sale on Discogs and not on eBay for 7 years. Great Deep Soul flipside ‘Darling Lets Love’.

CHARLIE MITCHELL


Title:

Love Don't Come Easy


Label:

Janus 227


Condition: M-
Lovely midtempo 70s soul, and quite a toughie considering the label. The singer was actually Vic Marcel of RCA and DonBut fame.
  
Reserve Price: £150.00

Current Bid: £0.00

EXECUTIVE FORCE


Title:

What's Your Fantasy


Label:

New Age 1011


Condition: M-
Yet another good piece of Modern Soul (1979) from this Toledo, Ohio group – all of which seem to be rare, no less so on this particular 45.
  
Reserve Price: £300.00

Current Bid: £0.00

THE AD LIBS


Title:

New York In The Dark


Label:

A. G. P. 100


Condition: M-
One of the greatest Drifters soundalike records ever made and a welcome spin in the Northern scene’s worst music year (1978). Reputedly also released on Eskee, but we have no evidence of that. Superb version of ‘Human’ on the flipside outshines all other takes on the song in our opinion.
  
Reserve Price: £200.00

Current Bid: £226.00

Image Auction: RSV-4046  Ends: 14/11/2024 18:00
Artist:

PATTI & THE EMBLEMS


Title:

It's The Little Things


Label:

Congress 263 (dj)


Condition: VG++
With reference to the above disc and 1978 it was the spinning of a version by Linda Kendrick on UK Polydor that brought this superior original version to everyone’s attention. And it’s not a 45 that turns up very frequently either – in fact its 10 years since we had a copy.
  
Reserve Price: £200.00

Current Bid: £210.00

Image Auction: RSV-4047  Ends: 14/11/2024 18:00
Artist:

POOKIE HUDSON


Title:

This Gets To Me


Label:

Jamie 1319 (dj)


Condition: VG++
The ex-Spaniels lead singer was on his own by the 1960s and this 1966 release is his most treasured collectable having sold precisely zero in June/July when it hit the shops. Strong VG++ has but a tiny amount of light marks and is nearer M-.
  
Reserve Price: £350.00

Current Bid: £350.00

Image Auction: RSV-4048  Ends: 14/11/2024 18:00
Artist:

JOHNNY SUMMERS


Title:

I Can't Let Go


Label:

Yorktown 1009


Condition: M-
This label had only three releases we are aware of (despite the numbering system) and used the same backing track on one side of all three but with different lyrics. Summers sang two of the releases and proves here that he was a very decent talent indeed.
  
Reserve Price: £300.00

Current Bid: £300.00

Image Auction: RSV-4049  Ends: 14/11/2024 18:00
Artist:

BARRY ST. JOHN


Title:

Everything I Touch Turns To Tears


Label:

(UK) Columbia 7868


Condition: M-
Really Eliza Janet Thomson, a Scottish singer but a UK-only 45 that is really quite convincing as a Northern Soul side (despite the presence of producer Mickie Most). St. John recorded around ten singles over the years, but this B-side is easily her best effort.
