For dancers who enjoy varied Northern soul tempii. Must hears include Johnnie Taylor’s Friday Night on Southern Stax 1970 and big-voiced Difosco (aka Dee Irvin/Big Dee Irwin) on Sunshine Love."Finally we complete the CD and our reissue of Eddie & Ernie recordings with Columbia’s unfinished original of ‘Indication’. It’s a very different reading to the one that was issued on UK Jay Boy, but is very moving and emotional, like so much of that duo’s fabulous music.

A new volume in this series is eagerly anticipated and always “on the go”. Northern Soul is a sufficiently broad field to make various styles of records potential contenders. The R&B and modern ends of the spectrum tend to get covered on our “New Breed” or “Masterpieces” compilations, but if the sound has made it onto mainstream Northern dancefloors, it wins its place on “Northern Soul’s Classiest Rarities”.

R&B Punker – THE BRITISH WALKERS – Diddley Daddy [EQ] – PYE INT 7N 25298 UK 1965 Mr Dynamite Sue Grp Our “Northern Soul’s Classiest Rarities” CDs have showcased high quality 60s and early 70s records beloved of collectors and dancers. The series has proved much appreciated by the soul cognoscenti, making this new vinyl edition a necessity. Alec also managed to find the master tape of Troy Dodds masterpiece ‘Try My Love’ from the tiny El Camino label which was part-owned by Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain, a famous basketball player of the day. Melvin Davis recalled how the owner of the similarly small and unsuccessful KeKe label’s dad owned a “coupl’a steel mills”. Producer Dave Hamilton managed to employ an accomplished brass section for the date and the sax solo is so skilful that I’m thinking “maybe Sonny Stitt?”

Lists

This latest episode of the high-quality end of the Northern Soul world is as varied as the scene has become, featuring manic funk, Detroit grooves, doo wop-inspired ballads, neo-Motown and pure soul stompers.... Whilst there can never be a substitute for owning the original 45s (anyone with a spare copy of Dan Folger for sale?!!)…a CD such as this goes a long way in easing and catering for that desire, and all without having to remortgage the house!
