The Mirwood Soul Story Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 28, 2005
Seems odd that 2 Volumes called The Mirwood Story miss out Harlem Shuffle.
But this is actually the business and so much better than Philly Soul.
Mirwood had a sub label called Mira which issued records by Carol Connors

Soul Legacy

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Curtis Mayfield

Release Date August 01, 2005
Judging from the image which has been used, this is the four-cd box set retrospective of Curtis Mayfield's career. Even if the Charly packaging is a little on the cheap side, the musical content is tremendous.

Features four themed compact discs:
1.Inspirational themes
2.Love songs
3.Cautionary tales
4.Film & Dance

Each has a generous running time, and the overall package represents terrific value-for-money. The content is virtually unimpeachable, drawing in selections from Curtis' numerous album releases. And it succeeds, for me, in not overdoing the number of Impressions tracks. There's even a decent booklet.

One slight criticism would be the use of a few edit versions, probably ... Read More:

Soul Survivors Vol.2: 25 Years of the Wigan Casino/40 Northern Soul Anthems

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 07, 1998
Whilst being criticised as overly pop-soul this collection is by far one of the best entry points for those looking to start explorations in to the complex world of Northern Soul. For those trying to figure out what defines Northern Soul this CD and its Volume 1 companion sets the scene, with numerous and oft covered orginals.

This volume 2 was a partly inspirational for me to start my own "northern soul" band Mr M and The All Nighters based out of Vancouver. The other inspiration being the book "Soul Survivors - The Wigan Casino Story" and a meeting with Russ Winstanley in 2002 at a high school reunion [Russ was the hired DJ].

Atlantic Rhythm & Blues: 1947-1974

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various

Release Date October 15, 1991
Without doubt this is the best compilation of its type I have ever heard.
This is REAL music by artists famous and forgotten from 1947 to 1974. Foot-tappers, tear-jerkers, beautiful melodies, rip roaring rhythm, its all here and more.
You'll never regret owning this.
