Shalimars
Stop And Take A Look At Yourself C/w Baby
When the legendary Bradford Market vinyl 45 hoard was discovered in 1970 it was a turning point for the burgeoning English Soul-Club scene.
Just a ton of great 45s left that city to Stoke On Trent & Blackpool to bolster the play lists of all the top DJ's of the time. When you consider Soul Sam & Keith Minshall were not the first to feast there, and they found an armful of Salvador's - Stick By Me Baby - the significance & depth of this vinyl treasure trove becomes obvious.
Over night as the MGM/Verve spillage hit The Blackpool Mecca, The Torch etc. The Superiors - What Would I Do, The Tymes - What Would I Do!, Righteous Bros Band - Rat Rare and this listing by The Shalimars were set to become timeless Northern Soul classics..as was Alice Clark - You Hit Me - also born from that load.
But how often does this 45 in 2012 appear in PERFECT condition of the BLUE STOCK copy? It's a timeless piece and one which will set the STOCK copy fans thinking.
Two killer Northern Soul sides but that's what you'd expect when J. J. Jackson, Sidney Barnes & Hal Wess jostle for space in the studio.
Current bid: £ 22.00
