Well folks I think this may be the last in the series of The Thinking Man's Oldies.  That's 8 volumes of top quality Northern Soul which I think stand really well together as a series.  I think my favourites on this episode are the first and last tracks: Ducky & The Glo-Liters super rare Over And Over, and the truly uplifting Love Let's Try It Again by Silky Hargreaves.  Inbetween, a mixture of uptempo dancers and beat ballads including a nice unissued version of The Sparkels Try My Love by Norma Jenkins (supposedly recorded for Motown).  Could I just take this opportunity to do a bit of free advertising and say not to forget that I do a list of Northern Soul originals every week, coming up are the likes of Frankie Crocker, Lainie Hill, Marsha Gee, Marion Stewart, The Flairs etc , if you'd like to receive the list just send me a message making sure your own email address is on there and I will subscribe you to the mailing list.

Back with some reggae later in the week,

cheers,

Pete
