I was emailed an mp3 by the brilliant Lost Souls (Secret OF Mine) new for 2010 It sounded so good i had to include it on this release. will you spot this modern NS brilliance? As usual the final set contains some downtempo NS Classics and a touch of R&B crossover from Joe Diamond ( Dont Set Me Back) A Billy Stewart double (Look Back & Smile) and (Sitting In The Park) is also on this mix. The sublime Checkmates and their perfect (Black Pearl) and Jerry Butler close out the mix...
