SALES LIST #785 – MONDAY 7th DECEMBER 2020

RARE SOUL AUCTION DECEMBER 2020 Auction finishes THURSDAY 10th DECEMBER at 6.00pm (18:00)

Welcome to the last rare soul auction of this highly unusual year. A chance to get a Christmas present you really want! Due to the nature of the month, the auction will end on THURSDAY 10th DECEMBER at 6.00pm (18:00 GMT). This is much earlier than a normal monthly auction and we will endeavour to keep you reminded and updated on a daily basis. As usual, only winning bidders are notified and within ONE HOUR of the auction end. Good luck!

A big thank you to everyone for your custom and support in this very difficult year, it is greatly appreciated. We would like (Tim, Martin, Tom and Nyarai) to wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Surely, 2021 must be a brighter prospect. MIN. BID DECEMBER RARE SOUL AUCTION

A THE VINES HEY HEY GIRLS SUTTER 10 M- 250 Not had a copy of this highly distinctive West Coast group dancer in quite a while, from the stable of labels owned by Lee Silver in Los Angeles. B LITTLE JOHNNY OH HOW I LOVE YOU DORE 754 M- 600 HAMILTON A much rarer disc than is commonly perceived, one we have had no more than 3 or 4 times in 35 years. First played by Richard Searling but then probably popularised by Ginger Taylor. Perfect copy. C RHYTHM MACHINE PUT A SMILE ON TIME LULU 25 VG++ 500 Top-end Modern Soul rarity from 1976 goes into Earth, Wind and Fire territory with great skill and elan. Very hard to find on a 45 and a certain dancefloor filler. D EDDIE REY I’VE GOT SOMETHING OF TRUE SOUL VG++ 750 VALUE 2501 First offered up by Soussan on his famous scam lists of ’76. Problem was you didn’t get an original copy! His, now rare, boot was a plain green label whilst this is the vibrant, yellow, multi-coloured super-rare original.

E JOAN DOVALLE LET ME GO SPORT 102 VG++ 350 Seriously, we would place this Detroit version of the Big Maybelle song amongst the GREATEST Northern Soul records of all-time. Some folks go for her version of ‘No Better For You’ on the flipside so we’ve sound-bitten than one for you too. Always been rare with Michael and Raymond, as Abstract Reality, utilising the same backing track. F MELVIN DAVIS ITS NO NEWS KE KE 1007 VG++ 500 Early piece of Detroit soul (1963) was always super-scarce before R&B-styled records started filling dancefloors. Written and produced in co-ordination with Dave Hamilton, with his jazz roots giving a clue to the great instrumental break. G THE INVITATIONS WATCH OUT LITTLE GIRL MGM 13666 D M- 250 Took a long time for the scene to wake up to this great mover from the ‘Skiing In The Snow’ guys. All the more surprising given that a superior version of The Belmonts’ ‘You’re Like A Mystery’ lies on the reverse side. H JOE JAMA MY LIFE OPTIMUM 102 VG 600 A seriously worn copy of the noughties monster started off by yours truly (T.B.) in 2004 (covered up as Little Henry). Despite its fibreglass appearance, it actually plays very well! Check the soundbite. I ADA MAE ZACKERY BABY SISTER CALDWELL VG+ 350 8002 The first copy we’ve had of this since I pulled one out of Ian Levine’s original collection four decades ago! Combines funk with enough of a steady rhythm to appeal to upfront dancefloors. J ROY WRIGHT YOU CHANGED MY WHOLE VICK 6326 VG++ 300 LIFE AROUND Everything on this Chicago label owned by Bob Lee seems to be a rarity (there are only four known releases including one 10k jobbie). And this one from Roy Wright is no exception. We would also say that this tremendous stomper is the best of the quartet. K THE RINGLEADERS BABY, WHAT HAS HAPPENED M-PAC! 7232 VG++ 200 TO OUR LOVE Incredibly catchy piece of Chicago soul from this four-piece group fronted by Brent Anderson. Unmarked despite the VG++ this is because there is a little ‘greying’ of the vinyl due to its being in the UK for a few years. L EULA COOPER TRY TRAGAR 6814 M- 400 Amazingly, Cooper was only 14 when she recorded this one for Jessie Jones’ Tragar label in Atlanta (1969). The result was superb crossover soul of the highest calibre. Perfect copy. M STEVE MANCHA FRIDAY NIGHT GROOVESVILLE 1004 M- 250 Fabulous original version of the Johnnie Taylor track. The story continues (actually starts) on the flipside ‘Monday Through Thursday’ and we particularly like the fadeout of that side where Mancha exclaims with great anguish ‘Turn it over, turn the record over – I wanna tell you the rest of my story’. Can’t think of another soul record that does that. N PATTI & THE I’M GONNA LOVE YOU A KAPP 897 WD M- 350 EMBLEMS LONG, LONG TIME There is little now that can be said about this great side other than it was a miracle that it wasn’t a hit! More practically, you will struggle to find a more pristine copy. There are a few small marks on the flipside but ‘I’m Gonna Love You’ is unblemished. O MARIE KNIGHT THAT’S NO WAY TO TREAT A MUSICOR 1106 VG++ 250 GIRL In the panoply of rare soul music can any other song match the opening lyric of Marie Knight’s masterpiece? That is to say, ‘The taste of madness, that your lips placed on mine’. Hmm, we’ve all been there! The rest of the tune isn’t too bad either – a total gem from ’64 that somehow escaped the charts. Don’t let it escape your collection! Slight wear on the label (see scan).

SECOND PAGE FOCUS

1 GEORGE JACKSON TOSSIN’ AND TURNIN’ MERCURY 72736 M- 15 The ‘other’ George Jackson on a fine soul version of the Bobby Lewis oldie. 2 JEANNIE REYNOLDS HIT AND RUN CASABLANCA 866 M- 10 Top rate 1976 mover from LJ’s sister. 3 THE SAINTS COME ON LET’S DANCE REVUE 11069 M- 20 Same group as on Kent. A fine Impressions influenced midtempo track. 4 JOHNNY SOUL LONELY MAN SSS INTL. 785 M- 15 Great Otis Redding styled southern dancer. 5 THE BURKE FAMILY UNDER THE SPELL COBBLESTONE 701 M- 25 This is the Five Stairsteps on a great, almost-unknown dancer. 6 BRENDA & THE A LOVE YOU CAN DEPEND TOP AND BOTTOM M- 25 TABULATIONS ON 411 WD Vocal to ‘Sweet And Easy’, nice white promo. 7 UNLIMITED FOUR CALLING CHANSON 1178 M- 20 Two tremendous sides not to be missed. 8 JOE TEX ALL THE HEAVEN A MAN DIAL 1021 M- 15 REALLY NEEDS Simply superb 1972 midtempo should be in every collection. 9 BEN AND THE SINCE YOU CAME INTO MY MOCHA 10001 M- 10 CHEERS LIFE Bright and breezy Chicago dancer. 10 NOTATIONS THINK BEFORE YOU STOP GEMIGO 0500 M- 8 Old Mecca seventies biggie still sounding good today.
