Goldwax Northern Soul

* Northern Soul fans may have missed out on Kent's two Goldwax Story CDs and our single artist releases due to the preponderance of ballads on them. This is a CD especially for them - all the Goldwax dancers on one disc.

* Ady Croasdell's compilation includes half a dozen previously unreleased recordings that Goldwax completists will have to have. They are very classy ones too - both Phillip & The Faithfuls tracks are wonderful. In addition there are two Spencer Wiggins tracks recorded at Fame by Goldwax and never legally released before, including the sensational `Let's Talk It Over' which is an accepted Northern Soul anthem from acetate plays.

* Other Northern favourites include Dorothy Williams' `The Well's Gone Dry', Percy Milem's `Call On Me' and James Carr's `A Losing Game' and `That's What I Want To Know'. Other big soul names include George Jackson, Dan Greer, the Ovations and Spencer Wiggins.

* The master tape version of the Ovations' `They Say' is so much better than the popular vinyl cut that it almost sounds like a new record. Modern soul is represented by Wee Willie Walker's stunning `I Don't Want To Take A Chance'.
