This video is listed to educate the listener to what was once the underground world of Northern Soul. Music, predominantly from small USA recording studios that never stood a chance against the major labels of the day. However, theses recordings were revived in Northern towns and cities in the UK in the 70's. for you to comment and criticise upon in the comments section below.
To improve your listening pleasure, I do not monetise my videos in any way, and do not add any advertising.
I've collected, DJ'd and danced to Northern Soul since going to Wigan Casino in the late 1970's. These recordings are made so that long into the future, anyone can visit KZbin and continue to learn about and listen to this fantastic music, after I'm gone. They were recorded in the USA at a period in time when sadly overlooked. Only to be discovered and played in the 1970's soul clubs of the UK, and now played in many venues in countries all over the world. Many are recorded on obscure record labels, that simply never got airplay and the small number of records that were pressed, just disappeared. Hence their rarity.
If you wish to find out more about the fantastic and varied world of Northern Soul, search out the website - SoulSource. I warn you though, once down the rabbit hole, you could be hooked. I have no affiliation to the site, but there you will find a wealth of knowledge from dedicated lovers of the music. Together they know every artist, band member, pressing plant, label, label owner and origin of every track. Some so knowledgable that they can even tell you who the third saxophonist on the left was on some of the recordings. Others on the rare soul scene though may argue that it was his brother! Whoever is right, Northern Soul fascinates and satisfies many over 50years on.

Brilliant selection. Have them all except Richie Adams, holding out for a 'red label' copy. Any for sale out there?

Thanks 👍👍

[@arend3669]

Please keep the EQs neutral next time, or a slight bass boost - the sonics are ruined on this mix :(

[@shauns9563]

Sounds OK to me, sorry.

[@BazFromThePast]

You’ve definitely got me thinking there Arend. These 60’s tracks are all over the place and a challenge to balance. They weren’t recorded on the best set up 50years ago. When I’ve a minute I’ll try the same set with what you’ve suggested. If it’s better, I’ll put it online, and thank you in advance. Cheers Baz

[@arend3669]

@@BazFromThePast oh thanks very much - my apologies if I was being too harsh.. it's just that I'm more on the camp of minimal EQ work... The music selection is exquisite though, thank you very much for sharing regardless!!

No worries, Arend, there’s nowt wrong with constructive criticism. These records can’t just be left in the middle and often the base distorts them. It’s a science 👨‍🔬. Soul Sam is the top tweaker. All the way through every track!😂
