Week four of the Northern Soul compilations and yet another one from the budget Crimson label. This is Northern Soul was released in 1999 and has 24 tracks which form a pretty reasonable playlist making it probably one of the better ones.
There is inevitably a bit of crossover with other compilations with some of the more popular songs (ie (I Got the ) Sweetest Feeling, The Snake and Long After Tonight is All Over) but less face it you can never have enough of a good thing. There is probably a Northern Soul song with that title out there somewhere.
I was close Robert Palmer has a song called You Can't Get Enough of a Good Thing!
I'm sure that the mighty Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield appears on more than one compilation. Here it is in all its glory - all 8 minutes and 54 seconds of it. It was a bit unfair of the compilers to include this as the first track as it is near impossible to follow,
Dobbie Gray has a brave stab as he gets Out on the Floor.
There is a reasonably encouraging female contribution on this one with solo female artists appearing on a quarter of the tracks. Judy Street gets the nod with What.
We are back Out on the Floor next Sunday
