VA [2022] - Mountain Of Soul Episode 2 [Charly] (Full Album)

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.
