Artist:

BARBARA McNAIR


Title:

You're Gonna' Love My Baby


Label:

(UK) Tamla Motown 544 (dj)


Condition: VG++
Film star/model McNair had the pipes as this record proves, but her ‘celebrity’ status seemed to count against her; same thing happened with Barbara Randolph. We are left with records such as one that sank like a stone, sold very few copies and end up as rarities.

THE INCREDIBLES


Title:

There's Nothing Else To Say


Label:

(UK) Stateside 2053 (dj)


Condition: VG++
From the 4th October 1967, the Twisted Wheel soon picked up on this, but it was deleted within a year and was already hard-to-find even then. The flipside ‘Heart And Soul’ is different to the American Audio Arts release. Beautiful green and white promo copy.

CHUBBY CHECKER


Title:

You Just Don't Know (What You Do To Me)


Label:

(UK) Cameo Parkway 965


Condition: VG++
Played (and loved) at The Torch and other places, and a full five years were to elapse before a U.S. copy (promo only) was ever seen (courtesy of our own Martin Koppel). A strange set of circumstances for sure and back in the day there were numerous strange stories surrounding the release, i.e. that it was recorded in the UK. In the event it was a Conlo Production from Philadelphia.

JENNY WREN


Title:

Chasing My Dream All Over Town


Label:

(UK) Fontana 672


Condition: M-
The wren is the most common British bird but there is nothing common about this UK-only release stamped as a promo and sent to Granada TV at the time (1965). It’s a version of a Jimmy Radcliffe song originally on acetate only by Barbara Jean English – as ever, it makes you wonder how UK record folk ever got to hear it in the first place.

Artist:

BETTY LLOYD


Title:

I'm Catching On


Label:

BSC 401


Condition: M-
Betty’s own label saw her release a couple of 45s in Detroit to no avail, and she left the business soon after, but not before surrendering her remaining copies to a UK source. That in itself is 35 years or more ago and means that record is almost unfindable in its country of origin.

FREDDIE CHAVEZ


Title:

They'll Never Know Why


Label:

Look 5020


Condition: M-
Ultra rare sky-blue issue copy in great condition, someone has even indicated on the label that this is the A-side! Chavez was the lead singer of Thee Chekkers and was a keyboard player as well as a vocalist, he hailed from Albuquerque, New Mexico, but this 1968 recording went to Nashville’s Look imprint.

BUSTER and EDDIE


Title:

Can't Be Still


Label:

Class 1518


Condition: M-
Brothers Tommy and Eddie Williams (Tommy was ‘Buster’) came up with this infectious stomper for Leon Rene’s Class label in 1966 and here we offer the pink label issue copy which seems to have largely disappeared. Northern flip too in the shape of ‘There I Was’.

MAGNETICS


Title:

When I'm With My Baby / Count The Days


Label:

Sable 767


Condition: VG++
The Chicago version of this brand of soul group and the one lead by John ‘Lee’ McKinney (who also recorded as Johnny Lemac) following the demise of his recording career. McKinney had his own record shop in Chicago in the 70s named McKinney Music. Of course, the flipside to this one, ‘Count The Days’ is equally magnetic(!)

PATTI YOUNG


Title:

Head And Shoulders (Above The Rest)


Label:

Ernstrat 495


Condition: VG++
This is one Patti Masaglia working with Detroit team of Mike Theodore and Fred Saxon at Tamla Shirma Studios. Curiously it’s a NY song courtesy of Clyde Otis and Bert Decoteaux. Don’t often see copies of this one in collections to be honest.

COOKIE JACKSON


Title:

Try Love (Just One More Time)


Label:

Cyclone 121


Condition: VG+
One of the toughest R&B-styled dancers – both in rarity and in vocal approach. Our first copy in 15 years in fact, courtesy of Ginger Taylor’s collection. Despite a certain amount of light wear – what we call ‘fibreglass’, the record plays well (see soundbite).

TOBI LEGEND


Title:

Time Will Pass You By


Label:

Mala 591 (dj)


Condition: VG++
A ‘scene’ copy, i.e. it appears at first to be almost mint, but a strong light reveals a number of light marks – not quite enough to be ‘fibreglass’ but they are there to be honest.

THE HAMILTON MOVEMENT


Title:

She's Gone


Label:

Look-Out 007


Condition: VG++
Strong VG++ on a 70s release (1976) that is top of so many wants lists – been a biggie now for 22/23 years and just seems to get more and more popular all the time.

LENNY WILLIAMS


Title:

I Couldn't Find Nobody


Label:

Fantasy 618 (dj)


Condition: VG++
Just like the Patti Young (Item I), this one that doesn’t seem to be in many collections despite its relatively low price. Only really ever played at Blackpool Mecca, amazingly it also came out on South African Liberty.

SAM FLETCHER


Title:

I'd Think It Over


Label:

Tollie 9012


Condition: M-
A big favourite with the Belgian ‘popcorn’ scene before Stafford took this incredible, moody number to its heart. It was booted in Belgium but not on the West Coast styrene press. This copy is - bid with confidence, therefore.

THE DETERMINATIONS


Title:

Bing Bong


Label:

King 6297 (dj)


Condition: VG+
A ‘restored’ copy which now plays well enough indeed. The Determinations were from Middleton, Ohio and as winners of the James Brown Soul Search competition they ended up with a recording contract for King Records plus JB himself as co-writer on this one (hmm).

THE KRYSTAL GENERATION


Title:

Satisfied


Label:

Twinight 138 (dj)


Condition: M-
Tough release on a label known for a number of rarities. Pounds along in great style from four girls of which one became Lady Margo later in the day. The group had one release (on Paramount) under the name of Tender Touch. Great sweet soul flipside too ‘Is It Meant To Be’.
