BID AUGUST RARE SOUL AUCTION & A VIRGIL HENRY YOU AIN’T SAYIN’ NOTHIN’ COLOSSUS 115 VG++ 200 NEW This is the same artist as Virgil Blanding on Ready, Verve, Moonshot, etc. It later came out on Tamla 54212 in the same year of 1971, as part of a deal that saw Jerry Ross’ Colossus label lease out tracks/artists to Berry Gordy’s label but it is definitely rarer in its first format. A super midtempo item that is actually the B-side. Writer R. Adams is Ritchie Adams of ‘Can’t Escape’ fame whilst co-writer Mark Barkan wrote ‘’. A hit for Manfred Mann. B THE VOLUMES AIN’T GONNA GIVE YOU UP KAREN 101 M- 1200 Amongst Detroit sixties soul releases, The Volumes were right up there and this Karen 45 (actually from 1970) is their final release after Inferno had been sold off to Berry Gordy for a very short-lived -distributed Inferno. Recent years have seen all-nighters wake up to its magnificence. The Volumes were the Magnetics of ‘Lady In Green’ fame, incidentally. C JOANIE SUMMERS DON’T PITY ME WARNER BROS. VG+ 200 5629 WD Singer and small-time actress Joanie Summers had a prolific output in the years before this 1965 release, very little of which relates to ‘soul’ in any way. There is however, no doubt that a beaty, Motownesque concoction was the idea behind ‘Don’t Pity Me’ and it was carried out with such efficiency that it’s amazing that the track was not a hit. To further cement the theory, the flipside was written by Jimmy Radcliffe and Carl Spencer. Plays with some pops and crackles… check the soundbite. D RONNIE McCAIN THIS TIME I’M GONE TRIODE 116 M- 300 Thought to be the same artist as Ronnie Forte of ‘Whiskey Talkin’ fame, this wonderful 1969 piece of crossover soul is in a different vein but equally rated. The flipside ‘Too Much Of A Good Thing’ is in a similar style and makes for a tremendous double-sider. Not too much is known about McCain but he has two others 45s on Smoker and Shock. E SYL JOHNSON DO YOU KNOW WHAT LOVE SPECIAL AGENT M- 250 IS 200 Real name Sylvester Thompson, Johnson has been a mainstay of Chicago’s soul scene since his recording debut in 1959. 1966 saw him briefly (the label was very brief) on Monk Higgins’ Special Agent label for two releases (two different mixes actually) of the same song (this one) with different flipsides. We can offer both at the same time on this auction. Check out the flipside too on our soundbite, the very soulful midtempo ‘The Love I Found In You’. This red label version is frequently found with a ‘muzzy’ mix but this copy isn’t like that. F SYL JOHNSON DO YOU KNOW WHAT LOVE SPECIAL AGENT VG++ 200 IS 201 See above, but this was the 2nd release of ‘Do You Know What Love Is’ (and still regarded as the A-side). On this occasion there is an extra ‘chink chink’ added to the mix, flipside ‘Things Ain’t Right’ is a superb soul/blues slowie. G OGLETREE GONNA KEEP A CHECK ON TREETOP 1325 VG++ 200 BROTHERS YOU The unknown Ogletree Brothers came up with this fine dancer in the early seventies. From all accounts this is a Georgia label and from our account is much rarer than commonly thought. Given the current demand for group ballads we’ve also included the slow flipside upon which has been written ‘Darrell Smith’, ‘Smile’ and ‘Success Is Your’ – so we will scan that side too. H GLORIA & THE TAIRA’S I’M SATISFIED BETTY 1204 VG++ 400 Powerhouse Chicago girl group mover was actually a big spin on the scene circa ’78 but was one of the few from the time to escape the bootleggers. The label was primarily non-soul and owned by Sunny Sawyer, in fact the label is named after his wife – it is inscribed with the legend ‘Psychedelic Soul’… which takes us neatly to… I SAXIE RUSSELL PSYCHEDELIC SOUL THOMAS 1639 M- 200 Memories of my dear old mum who died earlier this year. It was touch and go as to whether this would be featured at her funeral, as she loved this one and ‘Please Operator’ from the years, many years ago, when they were constant plays in my bedroom… no beat ballads for Freda Brown then! R.I.P. (TB). PS slight label tear (15mm X 10mm) on ‘Part 2’. J JOHNNY GUITAR AIN’T GONNA MOVE JOWAT 118 M- 250 WATSON Lovely minty condition and in the supreme sound quality that pristine styrene has. Some details from the day have been inscribed on the label including ’10 March 1968’ – this must have been the time the owner found the record because ‘Ain’t Gonna Move’ came out in October 1965. For sure the finder didn’t play it much! There are two very small, tiny marks on the flipside ‘Baby Don’t Leave’ but we simply couldn’t bring ourselves to rate it less than mint minus. K LEONARD ADAIR THAT SMILE UPON YOUR STAGE VG++ 250 FACE PRODUCTION 101 Had such a lot of interest in this artist’s One Way recording a few auctions ago. Here is his other record and for our money it’s the equal, with a great mix that is very strong on the base end, making for great sound quality. Adair was a producer in the Chicago region, also known sometimes as Leonard Adeair. L WILLIE HUTCH LOVE RUNS OUT DUNHILL 4012 WD M- 1000 Step forward one of ’s great double-siders. Amazing that when Simon Soussan discovered this one and sent it to the UK as Richard Temple ‘Let’s Do The Duck’ that the tricky one didn’t rate ‘Love Runs Out’ high enough to do anything with it. It took a couple of years for British deejays to start playing that side. And what a side it is. What a debut disc… not that the U.S.A. of the time thought so as the stock copy is as rare as a furry snake. Amazingly, it came out in France on RCA. This is the styrene copy. M TIM AND DAVE GIRL, YOU’RE JUST TOO JACAS 8100003 VG+ 250 GOOD FOR ME Just who Tim and Dave were is unknown to the world, indeed the label, Parkway Studios, Mule Music BMI – all come up with a dead end. Perhaps a clue as to how rare this one is. The fact remains however, that this is an infuriatingly catchy midtempo, rather soulful number. Our guess is that this is a Texas record but it’s what’s in the grooves that count (didn’t someone else use that?). N ILA VANN YOU MADE ME THIS WAY P.I.P. 8933 M- 200 Certainly doesn’t come along like it used to do and this 1972 treasure sounds better than ever these days. Only to be found on the issue copy, as the promo features the rather mundane ‘My Mother Said’ (makes you wonder what ears some record executives have). Ila can still be found in Richmond, Virginia these days although she was born in New Jersey. Her brother is Paul Vann who has some nice rare soul items to his own name. O THE INVADERS THE BEST IS YET TO COME BREWTOWN VG+ 300 1011 Very obscure careering dancer from a label that was from the same stable as Chirrup Records out of Chicago. Although no too far away, Milwaukee is the town known for beer and it makes us think that the label, possibly the group themselves, were from that Wisconsin city. Not mint by any means but the record rarely crops up for sale. !

Whatever the appellation, this smooth Motownesque dancer has got what it takes. 9 CHUCK BERNARD INDIAN GIVER SATELLITE 2005 WD M- 25 The original stomping 1965 white promo, not to be confused with his ‘You’re An Indian Giver’ on Maverick. 10 LITTLE MILTON LET ME BACK IN STAX 0229 M- 10 Quite superb 1974 midtempo has sneaked under the radar. !
