Northern Exile 22nd Nov 2021		CD Album Various Artists - Ultimate Girl Groups	Somewhat unbelievably I have managed to get a second copy of this CD in mint condition. If a UK collector is interested, please get in touch - I'd like it to stay in this country if possible.
Northern Exile 10th Dec 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities 2	I thought this was the weakest of the six "classiest rarities" albums to date, standout tracks for me are Jimmy Bo Horne and The Athens Rogues.
Northern Exile 10th Dec 2019		CD Album Various Artists - The Magic Of Detroit Volume 1	This was the last CD that Goldmine withdrew in a hurry, reason unknown. In the sleeve notes Tim Brown states that this is the first in a series of three, but they changed their minds pretty quickly as nothing further ensued! A fair number of these tracks turned up on “Dancin’ in D-Town” (GSCD131) so it could have been a licensing issue. The CD is very hard to find as a consequence.
Northern Exile 10th Dec 2019		CD Album Various Artists - Ultimate Girl Groups	A japanese collector recently offered me £200 for my copy of this CD, however I declined. Seems it really IS sought after.
Northern Exile 10th Dec 2019		CD Album Various Artists - The Essential Mellow Groove	There were at least three separate issues of this CD, it must have been more popular than you'd think!
Northern Exile 10th Dec 2019		CD Album Various Artists - The Essential Sweet Soul Selection	This was later released as GSCD120, the track listing is the same but cover and inlay quite different. One of those Goldmine mysteries ..... why?
Northern Exile 16th Nov 2017		CD Album Various Artists - C'Mon & Dance Volume One	There were lots more spelling mistakes and typos in later CDs too ...
Northern Exile 16th Nov 2017		CD Album Various Artists - The Essential Northern Soul Story	Great review Roger, you know your stuff! I too had heard that one of their biggest sellers was a funk CD. I'd love to know which one, as although I have them all I can't say I have enjoyed a single track!
Northern Exile 16th Nov 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Ultimate Girl Groups	Supposedly one of the rarest Goldmine CDs, you never see it up for sale nowadays. It was also produced on vinyl LP and these are easier to find than the CD. Expect to pay well over £100 quid for a good copy of this.
Northern Exile 16th Nov 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Wigan Forever	Roger, I can explain why the CD is called "Northern Soul Survivors" while the cover has the title "Wigan Forever". Basically, Russ Winstanley had just released his first Soul Survivors CD set and objected to Goldmine using the title. Of course, they'd already produced the CDs and Kev Roberts being what he is, there was no chance they were going to just throw them away. The solution was to produce new sleeve and insert with the "Wigan Forever" title but still package the old CDs until they were used up. The later CDs did have "Wigan Forever" on them. The original CD case is extremely rare, I only know of two and I have one of them, still in cellophane.
Northern Exile 16th Nov 2017		Book Kev Roberts - Northern Soul Top 500	Review I had to get rid of this book. I collect books about soul music, but this one was so badly written it annoyed me to even think I'd wasted money on it! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
