NORTHERN SOUL - THE BEST SPOT I NEVER DID

 

Now if I were dj-ing somewhere, this is the spot I would have done, however because I sold all the originals and now have to play them from various reissues and boots, none of this would ever be heard as it goes against the originals only policy.  Fair enough, but they sound the same to me, so thank goodness for Mixcloud...still, this is the only place you'll hear the original mix of the instrumental to Don't Pretend, and if you do hear it elsewhere, you'll know where it came from!

So imagine what a punter would pay to hear that spot? 

Awesome mix of the very best.

If you make a comeback as a DJ with a spot like this Pete, I'll make a comeback as a punter.

Don't know if I could cope with having the two of you back. 

Great podcast as always Pete. Already on my phone via mixcloud
