Artist: THE FOUR SIGHTS
Title: Love Is A Hurting Game - That I Can't Win
Label: Shy-Soul 101
Condition: M-
One of those ‘one box, one time’ situations (probably via John Anderson) that saw, at the time, a lowly price. Problem is that it hasn’t been located in the U.S. since and is a rarity for sure. West Coast maestro Miles Grayson is at the helm and the flipside ‘The Dreamer’ is worthwhile too – so we’ve ‘soundbitten’ it for you.

Artist: ROBERT TANNER
Title: Sweet Memories
Label: Megatone 113
Condition: M-
Crossover giant may well be a one-off in this ‘as new’ condition. Originally from Washington, D.C., Tanner ended up in Lynchburg, Virginia where he recorded two fine singles through 1968-69. He was also a member of The New Sounds who recorded their eponymous album (released on Turbo) also in Lynchburg in 1970.

Artist: GLORIA & THE T-AIRA'S
Title: I'm Satisfied
Label: Betty 1204
Condition: M-
Seemingly a one-off for the tiny Chicago label and the only one of half a dozen releases to appeal to ‘our’ crowd. It’s a 1967 release, played back in the ‘golden era’ but never booted. Apparently, the group were Gloria Cummings, Audrey Cummings and their cousin Beverly Sims.

Auction: RSV-1483 Ends: 30/01/2020 18:00
Artist: MATT LUCAS
Title: Baby You Better Go-Go
Label: Karen 2524
Condition: VG++
Despite the sticker mark on the label, the vinyl on this one is very good – almost mint minus. In essence, Lucas was a blue-eyed rocker who later in his career turned to R&B and Soul without any success. This collaboration with Ollie McLaughlin and Popcorn Wylie ticks all the right ‘Northern’ boxes, not least of which is being very scarce.

Artist: BARBARA KING
Title: What I Did In The Street
Label: Gulfstream 1105
Condition: VG++
A total monster of soulful funky-edged Northern Soul and like item D, almost a mint minus (one light mark). The Gulfstream release is the first release before the one on Alwa and actually a different version (both are fantastic, however). The label is out of Hollywood, Florida which is in-between Miami and Fort Lauderdale on the East Coast.

Title: I'm What The Doctor Ordered
Label: Hew 711
Condition: M-
Ultra-rare New York soul 45 known from few copies indeed, in fact this is the first one we have had in over 45 years of record hunting / dealing. Artist is a total unknown and we can’t find evidence of any other releases on the label either. It has that R&B edge to it that could really take it places.

Title: My Love Is Getting Stronger
Label: Atlantic 2352 (dj)
Condition: M-
Apologies to whoever had asked me for this a few months ago and I couldn’t find the copy I knew we had somewhere. Only fair to put it on ‘open offer’, therefore. It’s a sparkling demo of one of the biggest spins of the current century which only amazes that it was not highly regarded ‘back in the day’.

Artist: SAM DEES
Title: Soul Sister
Label: Lo Lo 2306
Condition: M-
For long enough (even then not in the seventies), Sam was regarded as having only ‘Lonely For You Baby’ as his lone Northern stomper. Very wisely, a few years ago, someone decided to try this, the flip of the Deep classic ‘Easier To Say Than Do’ which is a superb Stax/Atlantic-styled dancer with soul to spare.

Artist: JOHNNY BARNES
Title: Nothing Without Your Love
Label: Jaba 801
Condition: VG++
For long enough this disc was the ‘Frank Wilson’ of the Belgian Popcorn scene – the ultimate 45 to have. Eventually the UK took to older sounding tracks and this was ideal, but very-hard-to-find. Good condition but has one 2mm-wide mark on the playing surface and the record clicks a few times. Check the soundbite.

Title: Rest & Dress

Condition: VG++
Got this unknown a few years ago and sold it to a prominent deejay who covered it up (as Bobby Rich) and since sold it me back as part of his collection. See what you think… its rare!

Title: The Chase Is On
Label: Bashie 101 (dj)
Condition: M-
Has to be seriously rare on a West Coast styrene press and it’s the only format we’ve seen the green issue on as well. As ever with mint styrene, the sound quality is totally crisp and superb.

Title: I Thought You Were Mine
Label: ABC 11253
Condition: M-
Another styrene minter, originally on Boola Boola, when the major label took the group they zipped up the tempo. This was 1970 and there is some evidence they were not done with Boola Boola as ‘Hanging On To A Lie’ is from 1971.

Title: Strange Neighborhood
Label: Fraternity 1001 (dj)
Condition: M-
Beautiful minty-mint copy in its original sleeve (not ‘birth’ sleeve please… we might throw up) of a track first spun at Wigan by R. Searling as ‘Ray Pollard and The Wanderers’. It’s a 1967 recording sneaked out early in the next year and produced by a genuine ‘great unknown’ of Northern Soul, Ray Allen. You’d be surprised how many great records he supervised.

Title: I Got To Keep You Baby
Label: Smoke 601
Condition: VG++
A one-off artist (could be a pseudonym of course) for George Blackwell’s New Jersey imprint hailing from the labels’ most prolific year (1967). What’s more, there are two great sides for your money and we’ve put the flipside on the soundbite too as it is excellent.

Title: You Don't Mean
Label: Sansu 473 (dj)
Condition: M-
Yet another of this auction’s breath-taking minters (these are old records y’know!) and another one, like Cliff Nobles (item G) to rightfully stake its claim on the dancefloors of the New Millennium after inhabiting the collector’s realm back in the day – and there are plenty more left yet!
