ALL THE ITEMS I AM SELLING COME FROM FORTY YEARS OF COLLECTING SOUL

SOME FROM AS LITTLE AS 50p


60s NORTHERN SOUL

ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE

RUMBLING TOP OF THE WORLD MONSTER

SO EVOCATIVE OF THE FAMED STAFFORD ALL-NIGHTER

WHERE IT WAS SPUN AS GEORGE BURTON "LUCKY GUY I AM"

NOTABLE FOR ITS BOOMING BASS BREAKS

BOTH SIDES WRITTEN BY GEORGE BURTON, MONROE SCIPPIO AND DONALD BURNETT

OBVIOUSLY MONROE TAYLOR SOUNDED EASIER ON THE EAR THAN MONROE SCIPPIO

PAIRED WITH A DATED UPTEMPO DANCE CRAZE - MARVELLOUS!

Vinyl

Record condition (A-side): Excellent +++ (plays Excellent ++++)
Record condition (B-side): Excellent +++ (plays Excellent ++++)

Label condition (A-side): Spotless

Label condition (B-side): Spotless (but pressed off-centre)

I've provided a third scan to give some idea of the wonky B-side label

Deletion hole: No
