4. Main Squeeze - NATE EVANS (Twinight).........Mint-..............rare crossover...................£400
5. He's Ready / He's Got Real Love - THE POPPIES (Epic demo, picture sleeve).......VG++.........two good Northern sides but the winner has to be the overlooked "He's Got Real Love" which has every chance if played....................£25
6. Where Would You Be - TENISON STEPHENS (Chess).........VG++..........classy Chicago Northern with full-on backing that's like a Dells meets The Radiants sound..................£20

A pounding go-for-it Northern dancer assisted by a sexy funk meets Northern backing that Sharon Jones & The Daptones ought to think about covering, it's a big noise alright!.....................£20 (PICK OF THE LIST)
10. Where Are You - JOHNNY DIXON (Boss).........VG++.............Northern Soul Beat Ballad Bliss with a monster backing track no near neighbours would want you to play late at night; but in the club?Yeah man, hands-down winner!..................£90

14. (Just A Little) Faith And Understanding - THE MAGICIANS (Kent/6T's 25th Anniversary Special).....Mint- ..................ever-popular vocal version of "Double Cookin" by Checkerboard Squares...................£125
15.

16. Don't Be Afraid - JIMMY SCOTT (Impala)...................VG++................Northern/R&B rarity, top sound...........£150
17. You Left Me / Lonely Old World - THE ARTISTICS (Brunswick)........VG++...............two lovely sides here both qualifying as Northern yet with differently pleasing tempos. Topside "You Left Me" is their Temptations impression on a coolly subdued mid-paced dancer that bobs along at a married man's pace and will leave you with enough stamina to enjoy the flipside "Lonely Old World" which is noticeably faster with a heavier N.Soul beat.Two sides of joy for both DJ and dancer.........................£20
