I really enjoyed putting this one together, seriously, not a bad track here, and volume 2 - which I've already compiled and got ready - is even better than this one. How about that Parliaments track, I can't believe I'd never heard that before, or maybe I'd got it but just never gave it a listen. And Gloria & The T-Airas, wow, not heard that for about 10 years and almost danced round the room when I played it...brilliant track. Will upload the second volume in a day or two.

With one or too exceptions, no offence but not keen on the bangra track or the two before it, that's one of the best cue's of tunes that I've heard in a long time.

Don't recognize any of it except maybe the Volumes (from the "I dig your act" line), what a f*cking dancer, and absolutely love the Danny Woods track, awesome mate.

keep coming back to hear my download of this........keep listening to other stuff......but keep coming back to this. 

Fantastic playlist again, Pete...

 

Tracks like these remind of everything that's right with Northern Soul.... and the fact they're rarely played out reminds me of everything that wrong with it.

 

Thanks for posting.
