MIN. BID MARCH 2018 AUCTION & A SAM NESBIT BLACK MOTHER GOOSE AMOS 154 D M- 300 Easily the rarest import 45 played at the famed Twisted Wheel Club in Manchester but then flipped over some 25 years later to reveal the superb crossover number Chase Those Clouds Away. A stone mint copy hardly touched will be a rarity in its own right. B DEMURES RAINING TEARDROPS BRUNSWICK D M- 300 Here s one we don t get very often at all, quite a while since we had a copy in fact. Super Chicago girl group about whom we know nothing at all. A bit of a fan club for the flipside He s Got Your Number these days as well. C MARY WHEELER & THE KNIGHTS I FEEL IN MY HEART ATOM 201 VG One of the greatest records Maxine Brown never made, certainly out of New York and it would seem that the tiny Atom label lost faith and never released it to the shops as only promos have ever been seen. In quality terms, that was surely a mistake. Producer Artie Butler certainly knew how to make a record and worked with a number of famous names including Neil Diamond. In fact it was his suggestion to Louis Armstrong to record What A Wonderful World! D FRANK DELL HE BROKE YOUR GAME WIDE OPEN VALISE 6900 VG Staying with New York and a sixties biggie on the Northern scene from 78, it was a generally poor year for the scene (i.e Nine Times Out of Ten being the top sound) and some soulful sensibility was most certainly needed. Big voiced Frank (in fact he was Big Frank Murphy as well) and his wonderful number helped some of us survive it all! E TOBI LEGEND TIME WILL PASS YOU BY MALA 591 D M- 500 Surely not too many words are needed with this one? Played first at the Pendulum, it is really Tobi Lark (something I suspected for years) and is absolutely a legend of the Northern Soul scene. F PAT & THE BLENDERS JUST BECAUSE FAST EDDIE 102 M- 300 A mere handful of 45 s from Pat Gordon and his group includes two releases on this Philadelphian label both of which include this superb side. Here we have Just Because backed with the great instrumental version (which amazingly is the A-side). G CHERYL ANN I CAN T LET HIM PATTY 52 M- 200 A biggie back in 77 if I remember correctly but not big enough to ever have been booted/reissued (which is/was surprising) A division of Holton Records (in itself an obscure label) produced by Stan Vincent who is famous for work with the Five Stairsteps and Lou Christie as well as the Cobblestone rarity from the Barrons we auctioned in December.

2 H THE ISONICS SUGAR KAMMY 369 VG A one-off recording for Al Kavelin s Kammy record label in 1967 resulted in this latin-tinged mover that has moved many onto the dancefloor in recent years. Song writer Louis Hollingworth was also the lead singer of the group and producer Frank Kavelin was the son of the label owner (who, incidentally, is wrong in saying on the internet that this is a 1969 release). I THE HUNS REVIEW DON T MAKE ME LOVE SORRO 967 M- 200 YOU A mighty fine minty copy of this wonderful dancer from a group that is most likely blue-eyed but really you can t tell. Reminds us of the Temptones. Back in the day it was the flipside Danger Zone (a version of the Wilson Pickett records) that got the spins and that side is good too, so we ve included it on the soundbites. J PAUL ANKA WHEN WE GET THERE RCA 9457 M- 200 Big in 77, bigger in Considering that Anka had already been a big teen pop star, his sixties RCA career was a dismal flop with both of his Northern sides being far from hits, in fact rare on issue copies indicating that they sold exactly NOTHING. Here is a very nice condition copy of his 1967 mega-flop. K ROY HAMILTON CRACKIN UP OVER YOU RCA 8960 M- 200 And much the same as the above must apply to Roy s wondrous 1966 outing. Hamilton was hardly a nobody having had big fifties hits (famously he was Elvis favourite singer and Presley copied much of his style) but in the sixties much of his material sank like a stone. He passed away in 1970 having left Northern scene at least two stone classics, this is one of them. L THE FOUR TRACKS CHARADE NOTE 7212 VG Time to move into the seventies and a 1974 release from Birmingham, Alabama that has never been easy-to-find even two or three years after release. Group members were Arthur Bailey, Ronnie Craig, James Dawson and Eddie Stovall. M THREE PROPHETS I THINK I REALLY LOVE YOU TOGETHER 108 M- 150 This fine Modern Soul dancer came out in 1972 from a group that emerged out of The Prophets of I Got The Fever fame (later the Georgia Prophets). The group are lead by the great Billy Scott (a minority black voice on the Carolinas Beach circuit) supported by girl s Barbara Scott (Bobby s wife) and Janet Helm. A perfect mint copy. N THE FABULOUS APOLLOS THE ONE ALONE VALTONE 101 M- 200 Two incredible Detroit sides for your money, just in case you had forgotten (or didn t know) how good the flipside Determination is we ve Soundbitten that one as well. At various times the Fabulous Apollos had Joe Matthews or Tony Daniels as lead vocalist-our money is on the Ain t Nothing You Can Do man! SECOND PAGE FOCUS 1 RUTH CHRISTIE DANCING FEET UPTOWN 726 M- 15 Forgotten Torch stormer. Could easily go again. Nice white promos. 2 JACKIE WILSON HELPLESS BRUNSWICK M- 10 Getting spins! Forgotten stomper with a funky edge to it. Great stuff. 3 CREATIONS I VE GOT TO FIND HER GLOBE 103 M- 15 Quite superb group harmonies on this excellent mover. 4 LAURA LEE MAM S GOT A GOOD THING CHESS 2068 M- 10 What a fantastic soulful sixties mover, this is highly recommended.

3 5 SAN REMO GOLDEN STRINGS HUNGRY FOR LOVE RIC-TIC 104 M- 10 Nice white promos of the stormin Torch instrumental backed with Hungry For Love. 6 THE DELLS HEY SUGAR (DON T GET SERIOUS) VEE JAY 712 M- 10 The Dells turn in their usual 5-star performance on an excellent Northern sound. 7 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. 8 THE SWEET DELIGHTS BABY BE MINE ATCO 6601 M- 25 Same backing track as the rare Tim Jacob Mercy Baby ( 200). 9 KIM WESTON I GOT WHAT YOU NEED MGM M- 15 Nice pic sleeve on Kim s best post-motown SYL JOHNSON FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN TMP TING 115 M- 15 Two tremendous sides, our last handfull of copies. Don t miss it.
