MIN. BID AUCTION & A LORD LUTHER MY MISTAKE SCHIRECK 101 VG West Coast stormer with torrid, caustic vocals from bluesman Luther McDaniels, turned up for Ginger in the late seventies but in the era of Cobblestone, Burning Bush etc was probably a little bit hard-edged to ever win the masses over. The end result is a connoisseur s item that stands a chance these days and which we haven t had in quite a while. B THE MASQUERADERS HOW LA BEAT 6606 VG And fresh from America s Got Talent! (true). If you didn t know the remaining trio of the group recently got to the quarter finals of this yawntacious show. The lead singer on How (Lee Jones) is long gone and, in a way, I m glad they got as far as they did but no further. Talent like this isn t for the Simon Cowells of this world. They re our favourite secret. C AL GARDNER SWEET BABY SEPIA 2 M- 500 Staying with the Motor City and a popular spin in recent times. Mind you, copies didn t turn up much when it wasn t popular! This one is a perfect copy, stone mint and played less than seven times. D FREDDY BUTLER PITTER PATTER M&M 332 VG+ 200 Completing a trio of Detroit rarities is this earlier effort from Freddy Butler which has got all it takes for those into the R&B style. A thunderous, ominous rhythm is topped by Butler s stentorian vocals. Great stuff, particularly if you like em black as the famous location in Calcutta. E KITTENS WAIT A MINUTE VICK 300 M- 200 Time to let the girls in and this Chicago trio of Bernice Willis, Thelma Mack and Laurel Ross made half a dozen or so 45 s with little or no commercial success, but which are all worth owning. This is their rarest outing by far (and probably their first) combining two rather neat midtempo numbers. To confirm this fact we have also put a soundbite of the flipside Somebody New for your delectation and delight. F JIMMY ANDREWS BIG CITY PLAYBOY BLUE JAY 5003 VG Superb midtempo item out of New York has never been any less than scarce, scarce, scarce. Not a minter by any means but plays very well indeed. To emphasize this we have included the whole track. G KURT HARRIS EMPEROR OF MY BABY S HEART DIAMOND 158 VG+ 300 Staying with the Big Apple and a late eighties spin that went on to become a classic. Born as Curtis Futch Jnr, Harris also recorded as Kurtis Scott right out into the early eighties. A little bit of wear and tear means that a listen to the soundbite might assuage any doubt.

2 H TY KARIM YOU JUST DON T KNOW ROMARK 113 VG If any singer ever stood for the depth of Black Music it is/was Ty Karim. Hardly known beyond the end of the street in Los Angeles where she became a recording artist (she was born Veatrice Thomas in Mississippi) Karim had a totally unique vocal style worthy of much more success than she had. In fact she hardly had any success! The result is that a superb body of work is almost totally scarce and unavailable also quite excellent. Here is a singer who almost defines rare soul, and this is her rarest item. I LITTLE MELVIN & THE JEALOUS LOVER VALARIE 4397 M- 250 BOLEROS Things have got a little bit minty on this soulful mover that lay in the shadows for many years without folks realising how good it was. One of a number of great soul records out of Baltimore and, as we said, in rather perfect condition. If you don t know it, check out the soundbite. J T.J WILLIAMS & THE TWO BABY I NEED YOU JOSIE 1000 M- 200 SHADES OF SOUL Fabulous bouncy mover rose to real prominence around 15 years ago and became a dancefloor packer. The unknown T.J turns in a great performance (he could be Timmie Williams but I doubt it) on another near-perfect piece of vinyl. K HOWARD GUYTON I WATCHED YOU SLOWLY SLIP AWAY VERVE VG+ 150 A total gem of uptown New York sixties soul from the ex-top Note singer who also recorded as Guy Howard. Prior to his death in 1977 he had toured with a version of the Platters. A little bit rarer on stock copy than on promo this is one of those records that looks worse than it sounds, in fact it sounds very well indeed, so we include it for soundbite purposes. L THE OPELLS DAY AND TIME LINCO 112 VG An almost known early seventies mover on Walter Grady s label out of Greensboro North Carolina, is worth checking out the soundbite for. Lead singer was one Tom Smith and writer James Steadman Jr. was also in the group. The flipside is a quality sweet soul harmony ballad. M FRANKIE & JOHNNY I LL HOLD YOU UK DECCA M- 200 One of our occasional forays into UK records results in a mint copy of one of the best British productions ever, a non-hit to be proud of in fact from Scottish duo Maggie Bell and Bobby Kerr and always a rarity on original UK release. SECOND PAGE FOCUS 1 EDDIE HOLMAN A FREE COUNTRY PARKWAY 960 M- 15 Yet another great Harthon gem from this tremendous singer. 2 THE WHISPERS I CAN T SEE MYSELF LEAVING YOU SOUL CLOCK 104 M- 20 Incredible version of the Aretha Franklin record done in Northern style. 3 DOUG GIBBS CLOUDY DAY OAK 108 M- 15 Fabulous midtempo our last couple of copies. Don t miss it! 4 JR. WALKER & THE ALL STARS THESE EYES SOUL M- 6 You might not get better value all year. Super midtempo cut at a bargain price. 5 BLACK ICE GIRL, THAT S WHAT I CALL LOVE AMHERST 706 M- 15 Always loved this Philly-styled 1976 dancer which recalls Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. 6 THE MANHATTANS I WANNA BE (YOUR EVERYTHING) CARNIVAL 507 M- 10 Original version of the Pretenders record. Quality 60s all the way.

3 7 BOBBY BLAND KEEP ON LOVING ME DUKE 464 M- 10 Bobby s superb version of the Steve Mancha song. 8 S.O.U.L THIS TIME ROUND MUSICOR 1472 M- 15 Great 1973 dancer, not their usual funky groove. 9 CLYDIE KING BOUT LOVE LIZARD M- 10 Torch stormer long forgotten but very nice. 10 VELVET BET YOU IF YOU ASK AROUND PERCEPTION 543 M- 15 Original version of the Quadraphonics track, got some big Mecca plays. NORTHERN RARITIES 11 CAROLE WALLER THIS LOVE OF MIND U.S.A 863 M THE ICEMEN IT S TIME YOU KNEW OLE 9 M SANDY WYNNS TOUCH OF VENUS DOC 103 M- 250 Very first label, mint vinyl. Writing on label is an autograph stating that the record is now on Champion! But who it is we don t know! 14 STEMMONS WOMAN, LOVE THIEF WAND 1198 D M- 350 EXPRESS 15 BILLY THOMPSON BLACK-EYED GIRL WAND 1108 D M THE CHARTS LIVIN THE NIGHTLIFE WAND 1124 D M THE MOODS LADY RAIN WAND 1122 D M THE SPIDELLS PUSHED OUT OF THE CORAL M- 200 PICTURE Rare black issue copy. 19 HONEY AND THE WHY DO YOU HURT THE ONE ARCTIC 141 M- 80 BEES WHO LOVES YOU 20 RICKY LEWIS SOMEONE TO LOVE TONIGHT MERCURY M JIMMY DOTSON HEARTBREAK AVENUE MERCURY D M- 75 Yellow promo, not seen this before. 22 BUNNY SIGLER COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING DECCA D M- 50 With his Northern version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow on the flipside. 23 LUTHER INGRAM AIN T THAT NICE DECCA M GROVER MITCHELL I GOTTA KEEP MOVIN DECCA M GEORGE HUGHLEY THAT S WHY I CRY BUDDAH 203 D M- 125 What a great, and soulful, midtempo record. 26 THE VIBRATING VIBRATIONS SURPRISE PARTY FOR BABY NEPTUNE 28 M THE STYLES BABY YOU RE ALIVE MODERN 1048 M SAM MC GOWAN LOVE POWER SMASH 2175 M LUCIOUS BROOME GETTING READY FOR THE HEARTACHES TRU-SOUL 2119 M FRED HUGHES BABY BOY BRUNSWICK M ERMA FRANKLIN I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING BRUNSWICK D M- 100 Backed with her version of Whispers both quite superb. 32 EARL HARRISON HUMPHREY STOMP GARRISON 3001 M KENNY CHANDLER BEYOND LOVE TOWER 405 M- 25
