I have just about finished writing a book/booklet that is to accompany a 100 track 4 CD Album Northern Soul Box set to be released by Sanctuary in March.

It's a coffee table style book and I am looking for loads of quotes from people - just one or two sentences - summing up what the Rare/Northern scene Soul means to them, what their favourite club was, etc.

The idea is that these quotes will be used randomly throughout the book.

If anyone is interested can they please send the quote to me followed by their name and where they are from?

The quotes should be sent to me

neil@conceptmusic.com

All the Best,

Neil

Why don't you just make them up and attribute them to random people like in the Northern Soul Top 500??? Apparently, I love Barbara McNair's You're Gonna Love My Baby to death...

Thanks to everyone who has sent stuff in already. Some are longer than I asked for

but are great,so let's forget the 2 or 3 sentences maximum ...

Thanks,
