Out on the Streets Again (abc) is my fave, but was there ever an 'Out on the Streets (abc), that preceded it ?

 

I really love the 'what's happening stateside' budget album they put out in the 8ts, played it to death, loads of great cuts, garnet mimms, isleys, marv jonhson.

When it comes to a various artists compilation CD, "SO SOULFUL 70s" (CDKEND 175), released 1999, is a really strong contender!

Amazing Atlantic 70s dancers, oozing with soul...

As for proper Northern, "NORTHERN MONSTERS" (CDKEND 272) from 2007 is just brilliant...

Kent delivers, as usual!!

Jumping At The Go Go - the RCA compilation gets my vote   

'This is Northern Soul' on Grapevine - so many, many great tracks !! (except Tony Middleton !!)

 

'Movin on up' The Kent abc comp

The Rare, Collectable And Soulful compilations from Kent get my vote.

what's the wrong with tony middleton?

Up All Night and Up All Night 2, was my faves as a youngster

Sorry I cant just pick one, Soul Class of 66, Up Town Down South, So Soulful 70s, Soulful Kinda Music / For Collectors Only, The Northern Soul Of L.A. Vol 2, simply because it had Troy Dodds and June Jackson on it...

 

and the daddy of em all for me, Modern Soul Connoisseurs that one Richard Serling put together, cost a about a fiver when it came out, and what a track listing given the normal pit falls of licensing songs from various sources... in fact he mentioned on his show recently that this comp just happened, everything he asked for became available and out it came, sheers quality comp...

Nowt, I'm just not a big fan of 'to the ends of the Earth'.

I couldn't pick one, so many great compilations.  All unique and have their own qualities.

This wasn't bad from Destiny - https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Record-Collector-Vol-1-20-Legendary-Northern-Soul-Classics/release/3192781

 

And I know this was dodgy but it was packed with biggies at the time - pretty much Richards playlist - WFON FM All Night Long with

 

Willie G & the Styles — No second chance (Deadbeats)
Bobby Jason — All these things (William Powell)
James Lewis — That’s the way (The Q)
Professionals - That's why
Court Davis — The lover who loves you not (Try to think what you're doing)
Seven Souls - I still
John & Weirdest — Memories
Ty Karim - Lighten up

Cheryl Berdell
Doug Parkinson
Jan Jones
Charles Johnson
Tyrone Barkley
Otis Clay
James Mack - Over the top (Roy Dawson)

It was a fine example of how much quality was released on major labels

 The Northern Soul Of L.A. Vol 2, simply because it had Troy Dodds and June Jackson on it...

And Troy Dodds was from the Bay Area/San Francisco; I couldn't resist LOL

God your right!! How the hell did it get on there?

It was a Goldmine CD, though to be fair we all make mistakes  and it was early doors.

Capitol Soul Casino is my fave LP.

Floorshakers is my fave Kent LP.

 

And Peter is right. it is a moody one, but that Up All Night is a belter. Another moody but goody was the Kool Kat thing with Stuart Ames,  etc on.

Out on the Streets Again (abc) is my fave, but was there ever an 'Out on the Streets (abc), that preceded it ?

 

Dead End Kids !!

Numerous favourite Kent LPs, Floorshakers, Footstompers & Soul Class 66 amongst others, spring to mind. 

 

As for for cd compilation, it has to be Sought After Soul 4CD compiled by Dave Flynn, has to be close to the top of the list!

Forgot that one, remember an old boss having it on his desk one day, totally out of the blue, when I mentioned it, he said he had been reading my CV, and my interests section, and thought he would check it out!

Thanks Dave, I kept the job so you must gave done a good job on that cd...

M:-))

Northern Soul of Motown 1&2 every tracks brilliant

The best compilation ever is probably on Kent, but it is impossible for me to pick out just one.

 

Otherwise, for sentimental reasons, I would have to pick Jumping at the Go Go - hearing that LP for the first time was a defining moment for me. I have the orange label version, but I believe that it was also issued with a black label too. 

I'd go for the "This is Loma " series absolutley essential

 

Derek

Ian Levine compiled Solid soul sensations all Sceptre wand stuff brilliant . Got it on the black stuff and cd .

All the RCA/Grapevine releases were excellent  but if I had to choose one from that era (70s) it would be Motown Memories (16 non-stop..... etc).

'This is Northern Soul' on Grapevine - so many, many great tracks !! (except Tony Middleton !!)
