Guest dx052 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 OK. This is my first post so please be gentle. Hope its in the right place! Hello, I am newish to this genre and time is not my friend with regards to the possible steep learning curve involved when it comes to collecting this music. I want to start collecting some nice CDs Soul/Northern music but I don't want to waste money on dodgy comps (as I can't really afford it) I hope I am not offending anyone regards to looking for CDs as I know there are a lot of people here that are vinyl purist's so I apologize in advance. Just to give you an idea of my taste or lack of It, I bought a couple of compilation from the The Northern Soul Story Vol 1&3 (Twisted Wheel and Blackpool Mecca) and I want to know what is my best direction regards to what might work for me as a casual buyer. just to give you a bit of background about me without boring you to tears, I was never into the scene at the time as I was a bit to young, so my knowledge is from the 70s to present day. i have done my fair share of digging and spent loads of money & having loads of records which took up a lot of room etc, life has changed now & I know my sound when I hear it but done know Northern. I am sure its like most types of music which has sub divisions so I would like pointer to find mine if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Heres a brief list of the tracks that I liked to give you a better idea. Thanks again Tony Middleton - ParisBlues Lynn Randell -Stranger in my arms Susan Barrett - What'sit gonna be Shane Martin - I needyou MVPs - Turnin myheartbeat up Robert Knight -Branded Laura Greene -Moonlight Music ( I know commercial KFC) T.D Valentine - Love Trap Lou Ragland - I travelalone Patti Austin - Didn'tsay a word Van McCoy - SoulImprovisations Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Dante Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Essential Northern Soul Story. Title says it all really. https://www.discogs.c.../release/892917 Great tracklist, but the sound quality isn't the best. If you're picky about that, it'll drive you mad.
