Spent a few evenings putting together a blend of some of my favorite 45s. Din't want to go down the route of playing the usual northern classics, so I tried to mix in a few underrated ones too.

Big ups for the laid-back crew for hosting this!

Forgot to add: there's a lot of non-northen stuff in there too, so I don't think it'd be something for the purists out there...

Any chance of a playlist please?

Cheers,

Melismo

just listening to this mate and these tracks are superb ! that make up yr mind track is utterly brilliant, how much for one of these ? great compilation indeed !

Cheers for posting mate. The playlist was just one click away...lol...on the actual download page. Great stuff in that mix, and Buster Benton´s "Money Is The Name Of the Game" must be one of the most amazing pieces of soul/blues ever recorded. Cheers, Mel.

I've seen that Make up your mind-track on here @£15 or so, so it's a real cheapie. It was never issued back in the days, but was released on Kent, and later on this Golden State label. There's been some discussion about the Golden State release not being legit because they didn't own the rights but I decided not to care and just pick it up becuase it's too good not to own it.

btw: thanks for the comments, been getting a lot of good reactions so I think i'll start putting vol. 2 together.
