DON GARDNER & DEE DEE FORD QUINTET - LAST DANCE / HARLEM ROCK:
Ultra rare Swedish 45 recorded when Don and his group toured Sweden in the mid-60s, sold for 1255 USD on Ebay in February. Killer r&b/mod club sound on "Last dance"! Vinyl is a very conservative VG+, has full gloss with just a few light surface lines, plays beautifully. Pic sleeve looks great on front, just a small date stamp. Graded VG- due to a 12x5 cm newspaper cutting glued onto the back. Promo copy, blue vinyl, perfectly clean labels with centre intact.

SKULL SNAPS - IT'S A NEW DAY / MY HANG UP IS YOU:
Breakbeat anthem b/w a rowdy soul side that was a big spin in the early days of northern soul. Record looks and plays excellent, just one pop on "My hang up is you". "My hang up" label is clean. Label on "It's a new day" has ball pen writing and a sticker + small tear. GSF sleeve has small writing on back. UK original on DJ-friendly vinyl (not styrene), 4-prong centre is intact.

SCORPION - MICHOICAN / EVERYBODY KNOWS MY NAME / MISPRESS:
This first version has the exact same labels as the other version but B-side plays the song "Sagitarius" (one of the best tracks from his legendary album!) instead of "Everybody Knows My Name". Supposedly only a handful of copies made it out on the market. I think we all can agree on calling this one rare... Light marks on record, plays well with minor distractions. B side-label has "Sagitarius" written on it. Intact center.
