I really did not fancy the trip to the supermarkey today as my foot still hurts like hell but to avoid any grief i went and i'm so glad i did, walking around the music section of our local Asda as my boy wanted another '50 Cent' CD, i was drawn to this display named 'The Solid Gold Selection' just for a look as you do, then i noticed this well packaged gold box double CD - Northern Soul - 36 Stomping Floor Shakers, at the first glance i thought oh no not another dodgy selection of re - records as at £4.97 it has to be crap.......wrong!
On picking this CD up it was in the trolly within seconds, it's as i say a double package of some 36 tracks most of which are taken from the One- Derful, M-Pac, Midas and Mar-V-Lus group of companies out of Chicago plus a selection of other labels, now most of this stuff as been out on CD before via Charly and Goldmine but for it's money under a fiver this is a pretty good selection to leave in the car and enjoy, includes a couple of down tempo fillers but all in all superb stuff, very good quality recordings, well packaged , comprehensive notes on the artists and tracks featured compiled by a guy called Bill Baker?
Ok 'The Snake' is included but that's about as average as this dynamite packed gets..........here's the track listing, one or two of the tracks i'm sure have not been out on CD before but will have to check...quick Asda closes at 4pm on a Sunday....lol - Please this is not a wind up honest IN ASDA NOW AT £4.97 Stand out tracks for me are in bold print.
