The first in the series of "Mountain Of Soul Episode 1" was posted a couple of weeks back where we stated that the second
episode was due on 11 Nov '22. Well here it is, and I think it's probably
a better set.
As with the first episode, it features several Northern Soul Top 500 tunes (as
the series is a podcast hosted by Kev Roberts the author of the book).
e.g. The Chandlers, The Fury's, Ruby Andrews (one of the best NS tunes ever IMO which I
never tire of hearing which, from memory, I first recall hearing when
Brian Rae dropped it in 1975 in the oldies room, so it must have been
first played well before that but became big again in the 90s) and
Mikki Farrow.
A surprise, but welcome, inclusion is "If We Don't" by 94 East fronted by Colonel Abrams of which a 16 year old
Prince was a member on guitar. The song was an unreleased 1975 recording but has featured on a couple of 94 East compilations since
e.g. "Symbolic Beginning" (Charly 1995) and "The Cookhouse Five" (Numero Group 2010).
Apparently all the tracks in the series are going to be issued on vinyl but I'm not sure whether as singles, or album, or both.
UPDATE: It has just been announced today (16 Nov) that the Charly Store is opening today.
For some reason the Amazon link/listing is not opening correctly and the
Spotify playlist is not displaying artist so the playlist is:
01 - The Chandlers - Your Love Makes Me Lonely
02 - The Intensions - She Needs Somebody
03 - Jean Shy - I'm A Bad Go Getter
04 - Jimmy Church - My Faith In You
05 - The Fury's - I'm Satisfied With You
