Artist:

TIPPI SAUNDERS


Title:

When You Gonna Tell Her


Label:

Trident 6705


Condition: VG++
Rare West Coast dancer, and despite the label number, seemingly the only release on the label. Written by Gene Page’s brother Billy who has numerous great Northern Soul song credits to his name. This was also done by Yvonne Vaughn on Dot, a version that is not quite as rare but still scarce.
  
Reserve Price: £350.00

Current Bid: £0.00

JERRY FOUCHA


Title:

Come On Baby / Music Time


Label:

Nola 728


Condition: VG++
Only our second copy of this New Orleans rarity in 40 years of soul trading. Choose from mellow midtempo in a Willie Tee style, or the more uptempo ‘Music Time’.

THE VILLAGE CHOIR


Title:

Sweet Hot Lips / Along The Beach


Label:

N.Y.C. Street Sound 1000


Condition: M-
Two superb sides from a group usually known as The Village Soul Choir. This is the rarer first issue which has different takes on both songs (inc. ‘Sweet Hot Lips’) than the red label styrene copy.

Artist:

NORRIS VINES and THE LUVLINES


Title:

Give In


Label:

Smile 112 (dj)


Condition: M-
Rare Canadian-only mid-seventies Modern Soul dancer. Despite our Toronto connections we have had no more than three copies in the last 25 years, and none in as good condition as this copy.
  
Reserve Price: £500.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4087  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00
Artist:

WILLIE WADE


Title:

When Push Comes To Shove / Come Into My World


Label:

Nite Life 70,001 (dj)


Condition: M-
This strange little Amy-Mala-Bell related label had just five releases in 1967 and not at all of them soul music by any means. Wilbur Wade was a member of The Jades, which had the release after Wade’s superlative beat ballad effort. Check out both brilliant sides of this disc via our soundbite.

Artist:

CHARLES JOHNSON


Title:

Never Had A Love So Good / Baby I Cried, Cried, Cried


Label:

Alston 3751


Condition: M-
An almost perfect copy of a 1980 dancer which took the rare soul scene by storm as a new release. Within weeks of release, it was very difficult to find a copy. Great slow ballad ‘Baby I Cried, Cried, Cried’ is the official A-side and the only side featured on promo copies.

GETTYSBYRG ADDRESS


Title:

Come Back To Me (Baby)


Label:

Franklin 601


Condition: M-
This Winnipeg, Canada band (and label) were tentatively a rock band but certainly hit a Northern groove with both sides of this obscure 45. We can quite imagine this one shaking the rafters at the Casino if it had been known at the time.
  
Reserve Price: £150.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4090  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00
Artist:

MARTY LEWIS


Title:

I Can't Do Without You


Label:

Big Deal 136


Condition: VG
Excellent Northern Soul stuff from Lewis’ own label. In fact, there’s only two releases from the imprint and Lewis used this great dancer on both. This one has the flipside ‘Ain’t Nobody’s Business’. Quite obviously there is significant label damage, but the disc plays well enough (see soundclip). A much rarer record than is commonly perceived.

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4091  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00
Artist:

BETTY GRIFFIN


Title:

Free Spirit


Label:

Mopres 1130


Condition: M-
Superior Modern Soul dancer from gospel song thrush Betty Griffin and a track that seems to be pretty rare having had the tribute of a recent remix on the Cultures Of Soul label.
  
Reserve Price: £150.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4092  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00
Artist:

TOMMY TATE


Title:

What's The Matter


Label:

ABC-Paramount 10626


Condition: M-
Amongst the very rarest major label soul records without a doubt and not on a promo either it would seem. Superb midtempo cut from a formidable singer. We first saw a copy of this in 1985 and it was 35 years before we saw another!
  
Reserve Price: £2,500.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4093  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00
Artist:

THE FASADES ft. ELREE FLORES


Title:

Mary Sunshine


Label:

Shelly 10605


Condition: M-
Seemingly an unpromising title but actually a superior and almost-unknown 60s soul dancer featuring the excellent vocals of Ree Flores.
  
Reserve Price: £150.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Image Auction: RSV-4094  Ends: 23/01/2025 18:00

Fabulous Pied Piper production ticks all the right boxes for perfect Northern Soul. Perfect condition too.
