    There are some real classics out there and there are people on here better educated on Northern Soul than I am. You can always find Northern Soul boxsets quite cheap. What I did was go on to I-tunes and look at the most popular ones and I got them. 'Out on the floor', 'Do I love you, indeed I do', 'There's a ghost in my house' are 3 that spring to mind but as I said, one of the other guys will be able to help I'm sure.

    It's always nice to be able to do something different. Have a good one.

    The North of Watford albums are a great start. I think there's a Best Northern Soul album also. Oops, sorry, it's an Ultimate.

    I'm merely competent In Northern. Compared to the true followers, I know nothing. It's a great style of music, go with the classics, and you can't fail. Don't forget to use Tamla to get in and out of the set. Quite a lot of of the Tamla output is classed as Northern.
    Excalibur. Older than the average DJ.

    There's A Ghost In My House - R Dean Taylor
    Sliced Tomatoes - Just Brothers
    6 by 6 - Earl van Dyke

    But the daddy of them all is:

    Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) ...

    ....this song has such a profound effect on me that I well up (in a good way) when ever I play it, I can't explain why but I love it when music moves you like that!
