H THE ISONICS SUGAR KAMMY 369 VG++ 200 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 2018. 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++ 200 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 TOGETHER 108 M- 150 YOU WD 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 THE ONE ALONE VALTONE 101 M- 200 APOLLOS 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!
