Hi Everbody!

I have came to these forums after watching a documentary on NS and being blown away by the dancing and music, I am hoping to attend a NS night in Glasgow in the new year but was looking for some advise on getting some vinyl to listen to in the mean time. I am happy to spend a few quid on some as I already have a deck to play them on but really looking for some suggestions on where to start? Are there any artists or styles that are recommended for somebody just discovering Northern Soul?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

cheers

Never ceases t amaze me how many times the lack of soul in so called northern soul records occurs is it because some people don't really understand soul music maybe they should go back to basics and start listening  to some commercial Motown ,the stuff we cut our teeth on  suppose Marvin's what's going on is out of the question

Listening 2 the lyrics brings back memories of the banana splits !

You live in Burnley now so compared to that Hull is a city of culture...........one of the few places to make us look posh

Drop me a line when you are around in August might be able to catch you for a pint?

Nowt wrong with Ernie kept T. Rex's jeepster off  the U.K.s number 1 spot ! Snappy B side 2 !!

don't forget two ton ted from teddington , who drove the bakers van  , a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and and ernie bit the dust , classic lyrics 

I get it now, reading back it seems that The Sheep record was a spin at the Wheel back in the early days, that explains it!
