> Moses “Sweetest Love” (Pure Silk) £5 Another great example of
> welding a traditional soul group sound with it’s ‘fire and ice’
> vocal exchanges to an ever changing backing. Again, if you like
> late 70s classy midtempo sides that build and don’t disappoint,
> this is an abosute gem. There’s a full length version on You Tube.

> RECOMMENDED 70s DANCER
>
> MOMENTS “SWEET SWEET LADY” (Stang) £5
> Their least ‘commercial’ sounding uptempo side & certainly under-
> played and therefore bang on for us. Spurts along on a big
> production and there’s a nice edge to this. Sound file on website.
> *This proved to be the 'dark horse' of back end of last year. Had a
> lot of feedback on it.

> FP01 Roszetta Johnson “Early Morning Love” / “It’s Been So
> Nice” (Columbia) £25 Topside will appease anyone into the
> shuffling, lilting, rockin’ 70s Miami sound and Dees & Knight
> alongside Dale Warren all combine to put together an irresistable
> side. It’s ‘Modern’ but too left-field for most dj’s I would
> assume. The deep flip is an absolute wall crawling tour-de-force
> that you can sit on the same shelf as Aretha and you can’t say
> about many. When she throws back her head and lets rip, it’s just
> totally compelling listening. It probably takes 5 or 6 spins to
> even notice just how faultless the production is. Now that’s class.

> Collectors’ 45s.
>
> CS465 Carstairs “It Really Hurts Me Girl” / “The Story Of Our
> Love” (Red Coach demo) £100 Definite original*
> CS466 Infernal Blues Machine “Ain’t That Love” (London demo) £25
> Soaring 1975 ballad with ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ changes in tempo and
> intensity. Mickey Stevensons production is faultless
> CS269 Johnny Davis “The Love I See Now” (Bandit) £20 Early 70s
> Chicago ballad; strings; girly back-ups etc.
> CS270 Que Sunryse “Friday The 13th” (Just Sunshine) £15 Fabulous
> 1973 group ballad.
> CS271 Fantastic Four “As Long As I Live” / “ To Share Your
> love” (Ric Tic) £5
> CS272 Fantastic Four “As Long As The Feeling Is There” / “Goddess
> Of Love” (Ric Tic) £5 Easy to forget just how great James Epps was,
> his lead on these (cracking 60s midtempo top sides; superb ballad
> flips) is up there with the best of ‘em.
> CS274 Spinners “Pipedream” (Atlantic) £3.50 Lavish soul group
> ballad - 1980 - sounds earlier.
> CS275 Jackie Lee “I Love You” / “The Chicken” (Uni) £8 More fiery
> vocally than normal on a late 60s beater; builds; funk flip.
> CS276 Carl Graves “Baby, Hang Up The Phone” (UK A & M demo) £5
> Excellent 1974 ballad. Real nice side.
> CS277 Essence “Sweet Fools” (Epic demo) £15 s/b. Killer ‘Dells’ /
> ‘Blue Notes’ styled ballad out Of Chicago - 1975.
> CS279 Jerome Jackson “I Never Believed In Love” (Camerica) £10 Van
> McCoy produced were the money was but you could never take the
> incurable romantic out of him. This lavish - and lovingly -
> produced melodic ballad from @ 1981 bears al the hallmarks of the
> previous decade. It’s his SUNSET BOULEVARD, Van McCoy was always
> big, it was the budgets that got small.
> CS280 Inez & Charlie Foxx “I Ain’t Going For That” /
> “Undecided” (Dynamo) £15 Fabulous and full on uptempo 60s with big
> production - both sides - and, man alive, she can REALLY sing. If
> this was ‘discovered’ now on some obscure label.....think on....
> CS283 Bettye Swann “(My Heart Is) Closed For The Season” / “Don’t
> Touch Me” (Capitol) £20 Wonderful ‘subtle midtempo’ soul that’s
> deeper than the initial spin implies; heart breaking deep slowie on
> the flip. Even ‘smouldering’ never does her justice.
> CS285 U-Dwi Peoples Parapernalia “Push & Pull” / “Terrible
> Train” (BRC) £10 70s Chicago Funk.
> CS286 Variations “Put The Music On Funk” (Amour) £5
> CS288 Marvelettes “Keep Off, No Trespassing” / “Here I Am
> Baby” (Tamla) £8 Typical ‘crisp but kicking’ on the 4’s topside but
> the more midtempo flip has definite Crossover appeal.
> CS289 William DeVaughan “Hold On To Love” (TEC) £5
> CS290 Curtis Mayfield “The Other Side Of Town” (Curtom) £5
>
> Modern Soul 45s
>
> 803 Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway “You Are My Heaven” (Atlantic

> Fabulous 1982 moover that fits right in now. Just cying out for the
> right dj...
> 809 Jobell Orchestra “Never Gonna Let You Go” (Jan) £10 2nd issue -
> most are! My current ‘slipper shuffler’ for that quick afternoon
> dance. Fabulous protracted intro, then, woof;a volcanic torrent
> flows out your speakers, drowning you in an ocean of soul. Ace!
> 810 Jimmy Jackson “I’d Love You To Want me” (Buddah demo) £5 Fiery,
> slightly funky Philly style dancer. Very clean vg+ but plays
> better. Doesn’t say Part 1 / Part 2 - but they are both here and
> one is much better than the other.
> 811 Albert Jones “Still In Love with You” (Tri City) £75 Very, very
> classy midtempo.
> 813 New Perspective “Stone Outta My head” (Maxwell demo) £25 Bongo
> fuelled Crossover uptempo heaven; femme vocals; male back-ups;
> darting strings....
> 814 Melba Moore “One Less Morning” (Buddah) £5 Galloping Van McCoy
> dancer.
> 815 Honey Cone “Innocent Til Proven Guilty” (Hot Wax) £6 Vibes,

> punchy beater
> BB41 O.C.Smith “Help Me Make It Through The Night” / “Diamond In
> The Rough” (Columbia) £2.00 Near vg++.
> ***************************
> ***BB42 Al Green “Let Me Help You”/ “Guilty” (Bell) £2.00 vg++. My
> ‘unofficial’ other Record Of The List. Fabulous edgy upbeat winner
> from ‘72 that sounds like a ££££ ‘new find’. Coupled to a great
> ballad on the flip, an absolute steal at 2 quid. Have a small
> quantity so no need to reserve, just toss it in your basket on the
> way out.......

> Thinkin’ Man’s Soul 45s
>
> TMO1 Sandra Feva “The Need To Be” / “If You want It” (Venture) £5
> She does sound uncannily like Gladys Knight, which may have held
> her career back, but take that as a ‘more than recommended’ tip - I
> mean, how many female singers can you slide alongside Glad? (Glad?
> Like I know her.......) This builds and then explodes into a
> fabulous late 70s mid ballad / midpacer. A superb side. Fiery,
> stormy upbeat flip.
>
> TM02 Sandra Feva “Tell ‘Em That I Heard It” / “Butterfly” (Venture) £5
> More of the same, only this borders on ‘finger clickin’ midtempo
> territory. Once again, superior vocals slowly being stretched to
> optimum wailing point. Excellent. The flip is much, much better
> than title suggets. Think Jackie Moore at full stretch. Yup, that
> good.

> Crossover Soul 45
