Anyone out there recommend a couple of good CD compilations which contain original

recodrings as opposed to the re-recorded/updated cd's that I've mistakenly bought.

A friend was asking for some cd's to listen to anf I don't want to make the mistakes

I've made.

The best ones I have have been given out at do's.

Of the shop bought ones. The 4 CD box set, put together by Flynny has the most consistently good tunes on IMHO. Cant remember its actual title tho off hand. Someone will post it I'm sure.

If you are looking for some great, onscure tracks then take a chance on any Kent Cd, but especially the millionaires ones.

Sought after soul ,from daves and tony smiths collections,is this still availlable my copy's knackered after years of hammering.Good choice mikey,indicative of what its all about.

As mentioned if your looking to dig abit deeper, any of the Kent CD's are a must, most CD's tend to be aload of crap aimed at the revival side of things you tend to get in the more main stream shop's. most soul nights/nighters have some decent CD's for sale from dealers,

the best ones i always find are ones people have put together, PM me your address and i'll send you a couple of mine.

A lot of good CDs around, yiou just have to plough thru listings that detail track listings to find what suits. Be careful, there is a lot of duplication of tracks amongst CDs and also there are a lot of CDs with one or two decent tracks, then 'filled' with crap

Happy hunting

Depends on whether you want well known northern stuff, or just good quality tracks without all the usual suspects.

Diamonds and Pearls on Goldmine is excellent GSCD 76 bit of both

The essential Northern soul story GSCD1 ( which I think is deleted now) but absolutely fantastic and worth hunting down all good quality proper Northern soul no pop stuff on it

Floorpackin GSCD 114

Living the nightlife on Kent CDKEND 104 mainly stuff on Wand/sceptre

This is northern soul volumes 1 and 2 on motown/spectrum

You won't go wrong with any of those

I'll go searching and be more discerning in my choice....

I'll close the topic.
