Artist: MELVIN DAVIS
Title: It's No News
Label: Ke Ke 1006
Condition: M-
An early sixties dancer of considerable rarity out of Detroit from one of the city’s many great artists. Stone mint copy is remarkable given the vintage of the vinyl.

Title: Take Me Back
Label: Angel 3 1008
Condition: M-
Takes me back to Cleethorpes 1975 to be honest, when this record was scarcely two years old – but even then, it wasn’t a common, everyday piece. Recent years have seen a big revival of this excellent track of course. Again, great condition.

Title: You Did It
Label: 4 Brothers 403
Condition: M-
Here’s one that crept in under the radar, a red-hot Chicago sixties mover that saw an odd copy (and it was never common) trade hands for very little until the current millennium. Now folks have awoken to the quality and found that it’s virtually non-existent in collections, really rare in fact.

Artist: JEANETTE HARPER
Title: Put Me In Your Pocket
Label: 20th Century-Fox 6683 (dj)
Condition: M-
Wonder who this artist turned out to be? Rather like Rubin in our previous auction, she remains a total unknown as far as we are aware. A New York recording and, possibly, rarer than is commonly thought.

Artist: FRANKIE & THE DAMONS
Title: Man From Soul
Label: JCP 1057
Condition: VG+
Worn-but-plays-OK, check the soundbite for confirmation of that fact. The group were from Raleigh, N.C. and Frankie was Frankie Presnell (actually the drummer), fortunately this white four-piece group usually employed a black lead singer.

Title: You're My Mellow
Label: Ric-Tic 120
Condition: M-
When our Martin Koppel found basically the ‘world stock’ of Ric-Tic’s in Detroit in 1976 this title was not there ever once in over a quarter of a million 45s. We’ve always known this to be a rarity ‘as new’, and that might just be a rare circumstance, in its own right.

Title: Loving On Borrowed Time
Label: Wise World 62729
Condition: VG++
Also issued as the Vel-vets with the same title on the Number One label and played at the back end of the Wigan Casino years. Difficult to tell which is the first release but for sure, Mr. Orsi looks the nicer!

Artist: THE FASCINATORS
Title: In Other Words
Label: Bombay 4502
Condition: VG+
Beautiful doo-wop influenced 1964 group soul from Earl Washington’s Chicago label, a rare disc indeed which rather forgives the condition (check the soundbite). One of those 45s that came to prominence in the post-Wigan era i.e. Stafford, and a scarce 45 indeed.

Title: You've Been Gone Too Long
Label: Impel 101
Condition: M-
Apparently on Seventy-Seven, on the first yellow label and the following orange/black reissue, this sold 90,000 copies. No such situation for the very first local label out of South Carolina (the music publishing was in Florida hence the long-lasting thought that this was a Floridian label, they even spelt Anne and husband Melvin Burton wrong on the song’s credits [Benton]). Whatever the history, this total classic simply has to be in every serious collection.

Title: The More Than Man
Label: Spectrum 1162
Condition: M-
Very rare 1983 downtempo groover from a Spectrum label that must have been around for 20 years but without any releases for quite a few years prior to this one. You might wait quite a while before you see another. We’ve known of it for 30 years and this is our first copy in all that time.

Title: Turnin' My Heartbeat Up
Label: Buddah 262 (dj)
Condition: M-
Ignoring the incorrect possessive apostrophe on the group’s name, it turns out that this long-unknown outfit were actually, at one time, the Combinations on the Atlanta label Kimtone. Originally a Blackpool Mecca exclusive, this went on to the greater heights at Wigan (particularly via the ‘This England’ documentary).

Artist: TIMELESS LEGEND
Title: Baby Don't Do This To Me
Label: Black Forest 102115
Condition: VG++
A group from Columbus, Ohio on their first 1975 release – a rarer item than their Dawn-Lite 45 for sure and an excellent modern dancer with a neat ballad flip. As you will observe from the scan there is some water damage on the label, but the actual vinyl is pretty good by comparison.

Title: I'm Under Your Spell / Sunshine Lady
Label: M&M 5002
Condition: M-
As we remember this record is from Minneapolis, a great 1977 modern double-sider penned by a young Jimmy “Jam” Harris. Take a listen to both sides on the soundbite. Great condition all round.

Title: I Still Love You
Label: Okeh 7289 (dj)
Condition: M-
Back in the heyday of Northern Soul i.e. the seventies, this wasn’t an in-demand, highly rated record at all. Cue the next decade and onwards and it has become one of the most desirous records from the legendary label. Beautiful condition.

Title: This Gets To Me
Label: Jamie 1319 (dj)
Condition: VG++
Lead singer of the famous doo-wop group The Spaniels on one of his infrequent solo outings. Producer Bob Finiz is another that moved from doo-wop to soul and is something of an unheralded Northern Soul hero having produced ‘Girl Across The Street’, the Star-treks ‘Gonna Need Magic’, and many more.
