ReviewFor a US Release this is surprisingly "International", and I suspect that it is being marketed in many places outside of North America, it's certainly easy to find in The UK.
The compilation consists of 20 tracks that had a big impact on Britain's "Northern Soul" scene (so called because it was centred on towns and cities in Northern England) back at the end of the '60s and throughout the '70s. The compilation was produced by Teri Landi, Andy Street and Ady Croasdell with Mr Croasdell providing a lengthy essay in the 16 page booklet detailing the origin of the tracks on display and how they fitted into Britain's "Northern Soul" scene all those years ago. Ady Croasdell is one of the forces behind the Soul releases at Kent/Ace in London and I can't help but think that there was more collaboration between ABKCO and Kent/Ace with this release than is immediately obvious from the packaging.
Here are three tracks that are included in this compilation ...
There were plenty of other Cameo/Parkway releases that impacted on Britain's "Northern Soul" scene so I'm already looking forward to a Volume 2.
