TONY MIDDLETON


Title:

To The Ends Of The Earth


Label:

Queen Of Fools


Label:

(UK) Hickory 1323 (dj)

Sister of The Newbeats’ Larry Henley and a very fondly remembered Northern oldie. Number ‘16583’ written on the label as well as on the flipside (the official A-side) this side also states ‘Rec’d 23.8.65’ indicating that this is from a music library of some kind.

KETTY LESTER

Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid


Label:

(UK) RCA Victor 1394 (dj)


Condition: M-

Artist:

CHUCK COCKERHAM


Title:

Have I Got A Right


Label:

Mala 12,036


Condition: M-
Possibly the ULTIMATE crossover collectable – what is more, this is the ISSUE rather than the promo (‘tho they used the same promo paper as Amy, Mala, Bell often did on non-hits). Cockerham was briefly in The Drifters.

Current Bid: £0.00

Title:

Hush Don't Cry


Label:

Columbia 4-43833 (dj)


Condition: M-
Herman was the niece of band leader Woody Herman and was basically a jazz singer. Her 2nd 45 for Columbia turned into catchy-as-hell Northern however – it even saw an ultra-rare Canadian release.

Artist:

PAT LEWIS


Title:

No One To Love


Label:

Solid Hit 100


Condition: M-
A rare Detroit item that crept up on the blind side back in the day (due to an essential rarity). Altho’ one or two collectors held copies, it didn’t really hit the turntables until the 1980s.
  
Reserve Price: £2,000.00

Artist:

VIRGIL HENRY


Title:

You Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New


Label:

Colossus 115


Condition: M-
First label before the Tamla release is harder to find than is commonly appreciated. Virgil was the singer Gil Blanding, initially with ‘Rules’ on Ready, then he became Virgil Blanding on Verve and Moon Shot before going with his middle name as a surname and dropping Blanding entirely.

THE SEVEN SOULS


Title:

I Still Love You


Label:

Okeh 4-7289 (dj)


Condition: VG++
Just a tiny notch down from mint minus due to one or two inconsequential marks. Would be mint minus with a few dealers. After this 1967 release, the group spent time in France.

THE BROADWAYS


Title:

You Just Don't Know


Label:

MGM 13592


Condition: VG++
From Asbury Park, New Jersey, The Broadways were called The Uniques prior to being picked up by MGM in 1966 and a subsequent name change. Rather like the previous Seven Souls disc, this is a very strong VG++ condition with only one light mark relegating condition

Artist:

BILEO


Title:

You Can Win


Label:

Watts City


Condition: M-
Obscure 1979 release was played in the 1980s modern soul scene without anyone having a clue that it was essentially a rare record indeed. Bileo were a 5-man Los Angeles soul band fronted by one Bill Williams (hence the name).

Artist:

REGGIE SOUL and THE SOUL SWINGERS


Title:

My World Of Ecstasy


Label:

Capri 103


Condition: M-
Is it crossover? Is it Northern? Whatever the definition, it’s a great one from Reggie (real name Reginald Soul). The label was owned by The Scott Brothers and is simply brimming with great black music.
  
Reserve Price: £600.00

Current Bid: £0.00

Artist:

FREDDIE TERRELL & THE BLUE RHYTHYM BAND


Title:

You Had It Made


Label:

Capitol 2728 (dj)


Condition: M-
An absolute gem of midtempo, crossover soul. In all likelihood, Terrell is not the featured singer as he was basically a guitarist, but whoever the vocalist who was drafted in, he does a soul-searing, superb job!

Why

Ka-La-Ma 2773


Condition: M-
Mason had a short-lived career in the Washington/Baltimore area, and this was his debut record in 1969.A great version of a song originally recorded in 1966 by Nat Hall (and for our money, the better of the two).
