The Motown Anthology

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Chris Clark

Release Date March 07, 2005
Chris Clark had just 2 singles issued here and 2 albums.In the States she never troubled a chart.
At the same time as her first single I want to go back there again came one by the backing singers a couple of ex cabaret singers called the Lewis Sisters.You need me is for me Tamla Motown's finest hour.
Chris Clark was not the first white girl-that was ex Hot Boppin' Girl DEBBIE DEAN (Debbie Stevens)who cut singles for the label as far back as 1961.Its more difficult to find her stuff.
The next white girl was KIKI DEE who was possibly TM's first non American signing.
This came at a time-1968-when Motown music was becoming very boring and was to reach its nadir with the Jackson Five.
The wonder is this music got out ... Read More:

Big in Wigan - 20 Northern Mammoths from the Wheel to Keele: a Collection of Northern Soul Oldies from 1968-1996

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

Release Date September 02, 1996
I do wonder at some of these releases which end up being a compilation of another ten compilations! Big in wigan can and does mean anything goes,However some of these songs are obscure to hardcore northern soul folk, and you could hardley call them "mammoths"
I would recommend this CD to a real hardcore Northern enthusiast who spent the whole week preparing for the all-nighter at the weekend, otherwise dont bother.

The Golden Age of Northern Soul Vol.1: 50 Dancefloor Stormers from Wigan Casino & Beyond

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

Release Date August 11, 2003
Kev Roberts has been around the Soul scene for a good few years, and is also author of the book "The Northern Soul Top 500", with that kind of background you would expect a great sounding compilation and good inner sleeve notes, you get 1 out of 2 here, a great collection of tunes, 50 in fact and for a bargain, unfortunately the inner sleeve notes are just a track listing. I suppose the tunes are more important, but with the research Kev has undertaken compiling his top 500, an additional couple of lines on track and artist would have rounded the package of nicely.

Onto the music I rate side one the better of the two, it starts off with a cracker in Alfie Davison, then moves onto other classics like Magic Night, Archie Bell, J J Barnes, ... Read More:

Motown Mod Fave Raves - Volume 2

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

Release Date July 09, 2001
It is a great testament to the skill of the musicians, singers, writers, arrangers and producers of forty years ago that these Detroit production line models of disposable pop should now be awarded classic status and be so much in demand. This and its companion volume one, lovingly compiled for the English market, is subtitled 20 Collectable Modernist Soul Classics and are the floor filling sounds that echoed and spinned inside the Mod clubs in the mid sixties, made by acts such as the Miracles, Martha and the Vandellas, the Contours, Eddie Holland, Marvin Gaye, the Marvelettes, the Temptations, Chris Clark and many more.

Northern Soul was something different, although there are overlaps. These are all highly contagious dance tracks, ... Read More:

by: Various Artists

Release Date October 19, 1998
....from the wigan days that aren't on the other goldmine compilations. Actually they probably are as they seem to replicate the same tracks on several different comps. Nevertheless, plenty to enjoy on here for the oldies crowd and some real stinkers that would would never be played in todays climate.
