Comments and Reviews

RogerFoster 21st Nov 2020		Review This collection is a reissue of the two Ian Levine "Northern Soul Memories" CDs issued by Goldmine in 1999, GSCD 129 and GSCD 137. The second of those had yet to appear here when I first wrote this review. CD 1, as I wrote in the review for GSCD 129, is effectively a "Greatest Hits" package of Ian Levine "Northern Soul" orientated productions from the mid '70s to the early '90s and contains many of his most commercially successful efforts. CD 2 contains material that, though generally not so commercially successful, Mr Levine seemed particularly fond of. For me highlights on CD 2 include The Trammps "Feet Don't Fail Me Now", which wouldn't have sounded out of place on one of their late '70s LPs, Barbara Pennington's "Fan The Flame" (always liked that one) and L.J. Johnson's "Floating" ... which floats!! CD 2 is actually very enjoyable, and the electronic drumbeats that could overwhelm some of Ian Levine's productions are thankfully kept to a minimum Incidentally, the version of Barbara McNair's "Your Gonna Love My Baby" is a remake, though the arrangement sticks quite close to the Motown original and it's surprisingly very well done. 4 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
