Northern Soul is the ultimate OXYMORON - joyous irresistable uptempo dance music but with some of the saddest most moving lyrics about lost love.
Although I already have most of these tracks in my collection, to me, four tracks alone are worth the cover price.
At the discotheque
You didn't say a word
I have faith in you
You just don't know
If you don't have / know many of these tracks and you like Tamla Motown buy 2 copies. One for you and one for your best friend.
And when you play these tracks and you spine tingles with joy you will be "converted".

As a new convert to NS I was intrigued as to what I would find on here.
I was pleasantly surprised at the content and there are a few tracks that have already become real favourites.
For me the standout track has to be the hair-raising Al Kent:The way you've been acting. Whilst this is a brilliant track unfortunately it does suffer from being a copy from a record and there is some distortion on the left channel and some of the other tracks are similarly from records and not the original master tape. Still I would rather have them that way than not at all.
All in all a bargain at £3.39 at a large supermarket chain at time of writing.

What an excellent idea to create a northern soul "mecca" around the clubs which gave it birth!. All of these hallowed names now so familiar to those who loved the music and the scene and which are in no small way totally responsible for its success both then and again now.
Born in 1963 I was not considered old enough to go to the all dayers and all nighters of that time. Therefore back then I loved the music but only heard a tiny portion of it and never had the honour of entering the sacred halls themselves; Blackpool Mecca, The Torch, The Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino. Thanks to Richard Sterling however I have enjoyed the revival and added extensively to my northern soul knowledge and collection. Now with these 4 CD's, this being ... Read More:

I bought this CD the year it came out and sill love it. I have copies in the car, on the pc's at home and at work and on my ipod! If you can, buy a copy of the original offering, its got a massive 60 tracks! Once the postman has been you'll have all you need to stage a great all nighter for all your soul mates......... so turn up the volume, get the talc on the floor and let your feet go free!
and remember, whatever else you might do in life, please.....'Keep the Faith'!!

This is a really bad news compilation; I received it 24 hours ago and my legs haven't stopped moving yet. If this is truly what you got at Blackpool Mecca I doubt if I could have survived - even with a sackful of leapers - but I would have died a happy man.
25 fantastic tracks, unfortunately Van McCoy's stupendous 'Soul Improvisations part 2' seems to be stuck on permanent repeat (don't know how that could have happened) so the others are getting little playing great as they are.

I've wanted this CD just off the strength of The Dells' "It's All Up to You", which is the most gorgeous song I've ever heard. Typically, this compilation is unavailable in the States, and I can't buy it off of UK iTunes (where I got to hear a sample of each song), so I'm just going to have to buy it here. As a Yank who loves her Northern Soul, I gotta say that the British are first class when it comes to championing and cherishing good music.

This cd took me a while to get into but when I finally did get into it its fantastic! Its that good this is my second copy. A must for any northern soul lover.
