Admittedly this is just a stop-gap to pacify my Northern Soul loving listeners while I am in the process of putting together a History of Jamaican Music and that’s taking up a lot of my time, but nonetheless, I think you’ll find this selection quite interesting. It’s mainly stuff that I’ve had in various folders on my pc meaning to do something with for a long time. Many are goodies unearthed by the boffins at Kent Records and now established favourites; some are from one off acetates; some are alternative versions of well known classics. Put it this way, it may not be another $30,000 worth of Northern Soul but you’re not going to hear many of these down at your local soul night. (A lot of these are old now but were unissued at the time of discovery hence me still using that description) ++++++++++ .

THE PLATTERS – NOT MY GIRL (Previously Unissued Version Of Johnny Hampton) /

THE WAN R&B ENSEMBLE – HAND IT OVER (Instrumental Version Of Chuck Jackson 45) /
