Last September I uploaded a compilation I'd made called "Brilliant", which went down an absolute storm, it being a collection of ultra rare and true quality 45's...anyway not long after, I was asked if I'd take part in an interview about the podcast and the tracks on it, to which I agreed, not knowing that I was going to be asked about every single track - and I'd got nothing to refer to, so everything you hear is my making it up as I go along.  It turned out well enough for me to be able to share it with you lot though, so I hope you enjoy it.  It was broadcast on the Hart'n'Soul show on Phoenix 96.7 FM on September 20th last year and I did a link at the time but that's long gone.  Musically it's one of the best Northern Soul compilations I've done.
