Benji Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 New podcast for July: "Beat Ballads and Slowies" Among all the different genres the Northern Soul scene has on offer, my favourite one is Beat Ballads. Big productions, full orchestra with the kitchen sink thrown in, heart-wrenching lyrics, great voices, the lot. This podcasts incorporates the whole spectrum of beat ballads: Big fully blown productions like Roy Hamilton, Jimmy Beaumont or Little Anthony, bordering midtempo dancers like Patty LaBelle or Wade Flemons, blue-eyed stuff like Peggy March or Dick Hafner, wrist slashers like Big Maybelle and what have you. 24 tracks, as usual all recorded from original vinyl only.
