Auction: RSV-4129 Ends: 20/03/2025 18:00
Artist: THE AQUAMEN
Title: Line And Track
Label: Hiback 109 (dj)
Condition: VG++
The promo of this infectious number would seem to be West Coast only, and therefore in styrene (as is this one). This was a Los Angeles band, so there is perhaps some logic in that situation. When it went to vinyl, they simply didn’t bother with promo copies.

Artist: LEE FIELDS and THE SPONTANEOUS GENERATION
Title: Take Me Back
Label: Angle 3 1008
Condition: M-
An old Cleethorpes spin (and popular) that was embraced once more by Butch in the early noughties to popular acclaim reaching prices unthought of back in ’75. A quite superb slab of 70s soul obviously.

Title: I'm Falling In Love With You Baby
Label: Hot 1003
Condition: VG++
A visit to the Ritz, Manchester in 1976 saw Richard Searling proclaim this to be ‘the best new record for three years’, certainly its soaring strings and vocal cadenzas would raise the temperature on any dancefloor – a fact that remains true to this day.

Artist: RICHARD CAITON
Title: I See Love Girl In Your Eyes
Label: Caiburt 3011
Condition: M-
New Orleans singer Richard Caiton put this one out on his own label in ’76 and, for sure it was not known as a new import in the UK at the time. He told us that it didn’t go much further than the Crescent City. The result is a neat midtempo item that rarely crops up for sale.

Title: I'm Gonna Make You Love Me
Label: Kimtone 1001
Condition: VG++
A number of soul groups took this name, but this was a one-off Atlanta release from a combo that actually became the MVP’s on Buddah. Only the 2nd time we have had this rare 45.

Artist: MATT LUCAS
Title: Baby You Better Go-Go
Label: Karen 2524
Condition: VG++
Blue-eyed Matt Lucas was a Rockabilly hero in decline by the time he rolled up in Detroit in 1965. Clearly the winds of change were blowing, and it was time for Lucas to have a try at the new wave of soul music – he did have a little success with ‘The M.C. Twine’ but ‘Go-Go’ sank like a stone despite having a superb Detroit rhythm. A much rarer record than is thought.

Title: Think It Over Baby
Label: Reness 10919
Condition: VG++
Musician and co-producer Bob Reed was in the famous Trashmen group, he co-produced with Gene Dozier who was also songwriter Billy Jackson under a pseudonym (not the Philly guy). The result was a rare B-side and tough piece of Northern Soul on a one-off Los Angeles label (despite the label number it is the only known release).

Title: You're Not Loving A Beginner
Label: Way Out 104
Condition: VG++
Possibly a promo given that it is stamped up as ‘Way Out Presents’ this is the first red and white label release and a slightly different take than the multi-coloured 2nd release (and much rarer – quantity of the latter came into the UK in 1975).

Artist: LITTLE JOHNNY HAMILTON and THE CREATORS
Title: Oh How I Love You
Label: Dore 754
Condition: M-
Rare ISSUE copy of this 1966 release which must have actually sold few indeed. It hit the UK in the mid-seventies with R. Searling being the first to spin it, but it was Ginger Taylor who popularised the track in ‘77/’78.

Auction: RSV-4138 Ends: 20/03/2025 18:00
Artist: BRO ROBERT
Title: Alcohol
Label: Jo Ann
Condition: VG++
All the VG++ items on this particular auction are very strong grading, verging on mint minus barring the odd minor mark. Such is the circumstance with this copy. A tiny self-produced track and label out of Detroit by one Robert Brown. I (TB) stumbled across this track in 1980, and it was to be fully 17 years before I saw another when we acquired Ron Murphy’s collection (from which the 2nd Frank Wilson emanated).

Title: Lady Are You Crazy? (For Me)
Label: Boogie Man 2251
Condition: M-
First release that was withdrawn in favour of the instrumental and re-released as the Boogie Man Orchestra. This can be observed on this copy which is stamped up and crossed out on the instrumental flipside. Clearly someone had second thoughts. A surprisingly scare release.

Artist: HERMAN HITSON
Title: Yes You Did
Label: Minit 32072 (dj)
Condition: M-
Gravel-voiced Hitson ‘hit’ the scene fairly hard with this one in the late 70, but subsequently the track has been largely forgotten. Today we can also look at the flipside ‘Better To Have Loved’ to reveal superb, just-below-midtempo, Crossover Soul.
