> RECORDs OF THE LIST
>
> United Image “Hit Man” (Branding Iron) £10
>
> Bustling, hustling 70s street corner uptempo Philly at it’s best.
> Think of any great Philly Buster (sigh) and a small chunk of it may
> reside in here. Bobby Taylor “I Can’t Quit Your Love”...anyone? A
> big, rich lead, towers over the pumping, pulsating strings and
> bongo heavy backing and the cool vocal back-ups twist and turn in
> the backdrop. If your seeing a quartet of slick, suit attired
> dancers pulling off intricate moves, twists and spins, each
> cradling the mic as his line comes.....then your imagination is
> pretty much in-line with mine. If you have unfulfilled Sigma
> dreams, then here’s a 45 that sounds like it was left in a
> Philadelphia Internationals ‘to do’ tray....and then forgotten.
> Each list I try to find something a bit special, a bit different
> but within a price frame most people can afford. This one hopefully
> fulfills all those criterias. The happy ending to this record is,
> these guys became DOUBLE EXPOSURE.

> Deep & Southern Soul 45s....
>

> DS477 Etta James “Nothing From Nothing” / “I Found A Love” (Chess)
> £5 At her best - tremedous side - really good 1972 verison of
> Falcons / Pickett classic.
> DS478 Big Al Downing “The Only Thing Missing Is You” (Vine Street) £15
> DS479 Danny White “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye” (Frisco) £15
> DS481 Jean Knight “A Tear” / “I’m Glad For your Sake” (Jetstream) £25
> DS482 Oscar Perry “Do Me Some Cheating” (TSOT) £5
> DS483 Maurice & Galaxy “I’ve Been Mistreated Too” (Twenty Grand) £25
> This was around for about 5 minutes in the late 80s - blinding
> indie ballad with real instruments - horns / intricate guitar
> fills. Superb.
> DS484 Lynn White “I Don’t Ever Wanna See Your Face Again” (Sho Me) £5
> Picture sleeve.
> DS485 Theola Kilgore “I’ll KeepTrying” / “He’s Coming Back To
> Me” (KT) £8 There’s a whiff of gothic pathos surrounding both sides
> of this. Theola as the drama queen, tossing back her head and
> draining herself, the acid in her battery drip-dripping out of the
> speakers. Whilst Martha was “Dancing In The Streets”, Theola
> haunted the shadows......with Ed Townsend running a finger under
> his ever tightening shirt collar.
> DS486 Percy Sledge “I’ll Be Your Everything” (Capricorn) £8
> Written by George Soule - produced by Quin Ivy and Percy at his
> broke down best.
> DS487 Flame N’King “Human” (P.M.P.) £15
> DS488 Nobodys “Thinkin’ About It” (Samar) £25

> Thinkin’ Man’s Soul 45s
>
> TM09 Rance Allen Group “Gonna Make It Alright” / “I Got To Be
> Myself’ (Gospel Truth) £3.00
> The master of swoop and soar soul on a killer-diller Inspirational
> midtempo dancer from ‘73; Gospel meets Modern soul - few do it
> better; funky dancer on t’flip.
> TM10 Chocolate Milk “Thinking Of You” (RCA) £5 A side that defines
> why I started this box and is indicative of what you keep on the
> ‘top shelf’ - nudge, nudge - when running a recud bidness. You
> stock sides that in-vogue / in-demand or have a built-in following,
> then you carry the oddball things you like but will always be
> ‘cult’ sides. As I retreat deeper & deeper into black music, it is
> these ‘dangerous soul’ sides that offer me the most enjoyment. This
> 1977 Allen Toussaint prouction has a real eerie ‘trippy’ feel to
> it, wandering as it does between being a brilliant group ballad
> (ala SASS “I Only Wanted To Love You”) and a loose, jerky semi-
> funky midpacer-cum-dancer. And pulling that off, that sir, is
> genius. Vocally great and even the Ernie Isley guitar blast at the
> end somehow works.
> TM11 Dazz Band “Gamble With My Love” (Motown) £5 Classy, poised,
> midtempo Modern Soul from 1982. A oft touched on subject in my
> record room is the demise of these really good 80s sides that are
> now so unfashionable yet far superior to most new releases I hear.
> So if, like me, you to still wander the dusty realms of Chapter 8,
> Atlantic Starr, Change, By All Means, this you will like.
> TM11 Eddie Mobley “Tired Of The Single Life” (Sound Plus) £10
> More than recommended lazy Southern / Miami ballad from the top
> drawer.
