Best Northern Soul Songs?

[Brighton Breezy]

Im getting heavily into Northern Soul. Just wondered if anyone else is into it and if so, what artists/tracks/albums they would recomend getting. At the moment I just have half a dozen compilations.

Kanchelskis?

We've DEFINATELY done this before.

Some of my Northern Soul Favourites:
Here I go again-Archie Bell and The Drells
Just a little misunderstanding-The Contours
My love starved heart-Marvin Gaye
Tainted Love-Gloria Jones
This thread has been done before (by The Large One,I think)

Go down The Catfish Club if it's still going, you'll be in Northern Soul heaven.

It's now called The Funky Fish club
It's on Marine Parade between Old Steine and the Van Alen apartments

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Ahh The Funky Fish! Love that place.

It used to be down The Madeira Hotel. Haven't been for a couple of years but it certainly used to be good; a really nice crowd, all ages, no posers and lots of sweaty dancing. Lovely.

Frankie Valley - The Night is my all time favourite!!

 

[Bwian]

"I'm Gonna Run Away From You" -Tami Lynn.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Get the 'Best of Edwin Starr' Richie, pill-poppin' scooter boys love that stuff. Must admit I got into it myself whilst watching a mates scooter videos. You can pick up the CD pretty cheap.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Will do Cheeky!

Richie, a friend of mine is a NS DJ - he sent the following:

depends on what ya looking for, if its classic oldies from The Wheel, the Torch and Casino era I tend to drive up to the Midlands, hot spots like Wolverhampton and Peterborough have regular well attended evenings however if you're into the really rare stuff like the stuff Butch and Ady Croasdale keeps discovering then I'd suggest THE 100 club in Oxford street.
My fave tunes from the last 35 years which I still have in my collection in the loft somewhere

Ernest Mosely-Stubborn Heart-La Cindy

The Cautions-No Other Way-Shrine

Brice Coefield -Anit that right-Omen

Cindy Scott-I love you baby-Veep

Stanley Mitchell-Get it baby-Dynamo.

go to www.soulclub.org a juke box full of Northern soul..literally 1000's

Hope this helps

I know it's not original Northern Soul but I love the first Dexy's Midnight Runners album. I've often wondered how real NS purists feel about that album?

 

[the uninformed]

Can anyone recommend a good all-round compilation album? I love the sound but know nothing about it...

The Ultimate Northern Soul Album has a pretty good collection of classics. Released in August but still available in most high street shops, I think.

Cheers birdy, I'll get that.
