Hi I am new to the Northern Soul scene; coming more from a 60s garage vibe. I started getting into the Northern Soul scene after i heard a compilation which consisted of:

Cliff Nobles - My Love Is Getting Stronger

Moses Dillard & The Showmen - Pretty As A Picture

Clarence Reid - I'm Your Yes Man

Lorraine Chandler - I Can't Go On

Jimmy Holiday & Clydie King - Ready, Willing And Able

Delicates - Stop Shovin' Me Around

Deon Jackson - That's What You Do To Me

Mighty Marvelows - Talkin' Bout Ya, Baby

Four Voices - Your Love Is Getting Stronger

Thee Midniters - You're Gonna Make Me Cry

Eldridge Holmes - Lovely Woman

Ann Sexton - You've Been Gone Too Long

Donald Lee Richardson - You Got Me In The Palm Of Your Hand

Lillian Dupree - Hide & Seek

Al Williams - I Am Nothing

Baby Huey & The Baby Sitters - Just Being Careful

Shawn Robinson - My Dear Heart

Sunny & The Sunliners - Should I Take You Home

Chubby & The Turnpikes - I Know The Inside Story

Sam & Kitty - I've Got Something Good

Bob Marshall & The Chimes - Never Seen A Girl Like You

Butlers - She Tried To Kiss Me

Four Pros - Just Another Girl

Billy Butler & The Chanters - Nevertheless

Maurice & The Radiants - Baby You Got It

Ringleaders- Baby, What Has Happened To Our Love

Marvin Smith - Who Will Do Your Running Now

Admirations - You Left Me

Romeos - Mon Petite Chow

Many of you are probably aware of this compilation and many of the tracks on it, many of which are heavy. I am wanting to start getting a few 45s in my collection so I would be grateful if people could give me a list of some great easy and cheap records to check out. I have looked at a few threads and cannot see a thread dedicated to specifically this (apologies if there is). Please post as many suggestions as you can think of.

If you want i could post a download link to this compilation.

I wouldn't advise it, just that part of site rules is that links to download sites are not allowed.

Try listening to some stuff on the Refosoul pages, then if you like anything just try looking on record dealer sites, ebay and even the sales section on here.

I saw on your list Deon Jackson, I'd recommend you check out some more of his records. A couple of other artists to start with for good cheap records would be Gene Chandler & Jackie Wilson.

Thanks, sorry didn't realise about download links. Forget that then. I will welcome more recommendations.

Good & Cheap - the magic mixture! Don't know where you live but I believe a trip to a specialist shop where they have loads of tunes and a deck or two is worth every penny.

Thing to remember is that we all have different tastes and you will find your groove on a mission like that,where I am sure you will find more than enough willing people to guide you.

You have started with an awesome base with that CD.

Good Luck

Some absolute belters on that comp. Some very expensive rare bits, classics and amazing solid cheap records too, which you'll soon find out for yourself if you intend to collect any of them

A fave of mine:

Little Carl Carlton - Why don't they leave us alone (BackBeat)

...I do LOVE this kind of soul sounds...Tommaso you should buy it!

All originals at about a Fiver , give or take

Spyder Turner - I Can't Make It Any More - MGM

Lou Courtney - You Ain't Ready - Riverside

Gene Chandler - Fool For You - Constellation

Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor - Charger

Jimmy James - A Man Like Me - UK Stateside

Lots of good stuff on Ric-Tic by the likes of Edwin Starr , JJ Barnes, Fantastic Fou, Al Kent, Flaming Embers (a few a bit more expensive, but most still £5 or less)

Ditto Golden World , Revilot

Can't think at moment, but tons of stuff available in this price range

Oh and Don't Forget The Motor City" - Motown has its ratities, but it also had its excellent cheapies - probably about 5,000 - 10,000 all excellent £5 or less records

Did I Say - Spyder Turner ???????????

If you only buy 1 record this year - then Spyder Turner - I Can't Make It Any More - on US MGM is the one.

Cheers

Have to Agree with Imogen here

The manhattans version of "Love is breaking out all over" is just amazing.
