How to bid on my Monthly Auctions
1. Barrett Strong — "Money (That's What I Want) / Oh I Apologize" ANNA 1111 • M- The ONLY 78 rpm on Motown!!! These are super rare! In my 50 years in records, I have only see about five copies—and they are usually worn from jukebox use. These were never sold in stores. Made for jukebox operators. MB $2,000
2. The Contours — "Funny / The Stretch" Motown 1012 • VG+ TOUGH one! You almost never see this one for sale! Nice copy with just very light wear. Only had two of these in my 50 year career in records! MB $500
3. Linda Griner With Smokey Robinson & The Miracles — "Good-By Cruel Love / Envious" MOTOWN 1037 • M- One of the most desirable of all Motown releases! This is the store copy with a drill hole in the label. Very scarce and BIG demand for this on the Northern Soul dance floor scene. MB $500
4. Saundra Mallett & The Vandellas "Camel Walk / It's Gonna Be Hard Times — " TAMLA 54067 • M- Saundra Mallett won a contest and recordedthis song with Martha Reeves' Vandellas. Didn't sell and is now one of the toughest Motown related release to find. MB $500
