Here's a bevy of British label beauties for you, some of my best girls/girl group 45's, mostly Northern Soul but not all...too many classics to pick a favourite but wow what about that Three Degrees track tucked away on the B side of Gee Baby...some of these tracks make regular appearances on my podcasts (Carol Deene, Samantha Jones, Helen Shapiro) but I just never get tired of hearing them or playing them. First time I've included Linda Lewis though I think, how did I miss that until now?
