MIN BID AUCTION A STEVE FLANAGAN I’VE ARRIVED ERA 3186 D VG++ 250 Incredibly catchy Stafford spin with powerhouse backing the vocalist was genuine soulman who ended up in the Creative Source group. B IDEALS THE MIGHTY LOVER BOOGALOO 108 M- 250 D Perhaps not an auction 45, except for one thing this is a promo copy and the only example of this factor that we’ve ever seen! C CAROL MOGAN I’VE GOT EVERYTHING BORN 409 VG++ 200 A good example of the kind of record that really is far rarer than the price it commands by and large. This tiny Chicago release hardly ever crops up for sale. D EDWARD HAMILTON & BABY DON’T YOU MARY JANE VG++ 400 THE ARABIANS WEEP 1005 A classic piece of Detroit soul, apparently a little rarer with the legend ‘A Mike terry Arr’ on the label. E THE JADES I’M WHERE IT’S AT NITE LIFE 70002 VG++ 600 WD Actually discovered in Accrington back in ’75 and not too many copies have cropped up since. Turned into a Wigan biggie by R. Searling and the same copy into corrugated vinyl by one D. McCadden (R.I.P) courtesy of the local chip shop frying range! This particular copy will satisfy your needs provided you keep it away from a hot pie range. F LEON PETERSON NOW YOU’RE ON YOUR SKYLARK 501 VG++ 800 OWN WD One of the rarest early soul dancers anywhere around.....you might wait a long time before you see another. G SAM WILLIAMS LOVE SLIPPED THROUGH TOWER 367 WD VG++ 1000 MY FINGERS One of Northern Soul’s greatest moments on a used copy that doesn’t sound bad at all once you get past the 2 second cue burn. H THE CHARADES THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS MGM 13540 D VG++ 500 Another gem, and spun back at the Torch where it didn’t really take off. How did they miss it and go with Damita Jo? Recent times have rectified that particular insanity of course. I DELLA HORNE STEPPIN’ UP CLOVER 500 VG++ 200 Another very rare Chicago dancer would appear to have only ever been on Ebay once. Should really be worth £000’s. J THE SERVICEMEN SWEET MAGIC CHARTMAKER 408 M- 300 Crazy low starting price? Well not really, because this copy has a !” crack on the outside. Two fabulous sides mean that a piece of cellotape isn’t much use but it hardly sounds to be honest. Check the soundbite. K LINDA JONES I JUST CAN’T LIVE MY WARNER BROS. VG++ 200 LIFE 7278 WD Did you know that Frank Sinatra owned a hefty part of Warner Bros Records? He got it when he sold them his Reprise label. Doubtless he never heard of this piece of monumental soul, which was the finest moment for the entire label bar none. L GARY HAINES KEEP ON GOING SOUND 110 WD VG+ 288 One of the cleverest boots around is the issue copy of this one which is basically just missing the Nashville Matrix stamp. No such problem on the rare promo copy. M JUDY FREEMAN & HOLD ON RCA 0493 D M- 280 BLACKROCK Some Northern records break away from the template and here is one great example. Took the scene by storm back in 1976 and still sounds fantastic today. Backing group is the California Rock Choir as per Cyclone Records incidentally. N BILLY PROPHET WHAT CAN I DO? SUE 133 WD VG+ 500 For an obscure, non-hit, this disc has an amazing amount of formats one sided promos, one sided issues that don’t say promo but must be, regular issues and two-sided promos with the excellent ‘Sad Sam’ on. This is the last of those types and plays with a few crackles, have a listen to our soundbite. BRAND NEW MANIFESTO! We now sell Manifesto magazine with the latest issue out right now. Articles on the Volcanos, Showstoppers, Latasha Lee plus columns from Richard Searling, Soul Sam, Simon White, Roy Burton and more. ‘Tim Brown talks’ touches on those recent bootlegs and plenty more. £5.00 plus £1 p&p. SECOND PAGE FOCUS 1 CARL CARLTON WHY DON’T THEY LEAVE US BACK BEAT 627 M- 15 ALONE Says 1972 on the label but this is a pure 1967 – style mover. 2 DAVE LOVE COLALINED BABY SOLID SOUL 722 M- 20 Total gem from the Blackpool Mecca circa 1974. 3 THE SHOW ME THE WAY VENTURE 633 M- 15 NATURA’ELLES Totally overlooked West Coast winner. 4 SNOOPY DEAN SHAKE ‘N’ BUMP BLUE CANDLE M- 10 1505 Really, with the move towards funkier sounds I’m surprised this one hadn’t been revived. Sounds better than ever! 5 JOHN EDWARDS VANISHING LOVE AWARE 045 M- 15 Top rate 70s midtempo. Cut not to be found on his Aware album. 6 PAULINE SHIVERS WON’T YOU COME BACK O-PEX 111 M- 15 HOME Now you won’t get a better double sider at the price. 7 THE THREE REFLECTIONS OF NEPTUNE 23 M- 15 DEGREES YESTERDAY Actually an instrumental as played at the Torch. 8 THE ESQUIRES YOU’VE GOT THE POWER WAND 1193 M- 15 Two Wand 45s are for us the best of their entire output. 9 PEARL JONES GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE SIDRA 9014 M- 10 Now unavailable in general two great previously unissued Detroit 60 cuts back-to-back. Last copies. 10 WALLIE HOSKINS& SWITCH AROUND BELTONE 1005 M- 20 ROSEMARY McCOY Massive acetate only 60s stomper, big for over 10 years. Limited edition – don’t miss it! NORTHERN SOUL RARITIES 11 THE LOVERS DO THIS FOR ME GATE 501 VG++ 100 Very rare, 1st release before Vardan and Philips. 12 APRIL, MAY AND JUNE HE WENT AWAY RCA VICTOR 8696 M- 125 Rare black label issue copy. 13 TATE LOVE SHOP CLOVERSTREET 102 VG++ 125 14 FREDDIE NORTH THE HURT RIC 119-64 M- 200 Rare gold label issue copy. 15 JACKIE TAYLOR WALKIN’ BACK JUBILEE 5530 M- 100 16 THE SAPPHIRES GOTTA HAVE YOUR LOVE ABC PARAMOUNT M- 50 10639 17 THE QUEEN CITY TRUE PATRON OF THE ARTS POW 104 M- 100 SHOW BAND 18 EDDIE RAY GLAD I FOUND YOU PRIX 16 M- 50 Two different mixes on this one, with different design labels on the same number.

As founding members of “girl groups” who formed during the 1960s, they each created a sound and style that expanded the foundation set by forebears like the Shirelles, the Chantels, and the Bobbettes. The hits are legion. The groups are legendary. Hearing each woman tell her story, it’s clear that being in a group was often a springboard to reinvention, sometimes within the group itself, other times as a solo artist, and occasionally venturing into spheres beyond music. From opening the Motown Revue as Martha & the Vandellas to presiding on Detroit’s City Council, Martha Reeves embodies fearless strength and dedication. From being christened one of the “Sweethearts of the Apollo” as a member of Patti LaBelle & the Blubelles to becoming the very first Music Ambassador for Trenton, NJ, Sarah Dash is rich in soul and spirit.

Armstead began her singing career when she joined the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in 1961, as one of the original touring Ikettes along with Eloise Hester and Delores Johnson. She toured with them from 1961 to 1963, and recorded the Ikettes record “I’m Blue (The Gong Gong Song).” Released in 1962 and featuring Tina Turner singing backing vocals, the song reached number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the R&B chart. After leaving the Ikettes in 1963, Armstead moved to New York City and began recording music under the name Deena Johnson. There, she met Valerie Simpson and Nick Ashford and formed the writing trio of Armstead, Ashford, & Simpson. The trio wrote tracks for artists such as Chuck Jackson, The Shirelles, and Doris Troy, but their greatest success came when they wrote Ray Charles’ 1966 #1 hit “Let’s Go Get Stoned,” and the follow up single “I Don’t Need No Doctor.” When Ashford & Simpson signed with Motown Records in 1966, Armstead left the trio and moved to Chicago, where she married music producer Melvin Collins and the couple founded their own record label, Giant Productions and wrote songs for Garland Green, Ruby Andrews, Syl Johnson and many others, also collaborating with famous music arranger Andrew “Mike” Terry.
