…popular in East Lancashire/West Yorkshire since 1971

Just find YouTube channel ‘Mala 591’ click on ‘View Channel’ then select ‘Playlists’ then select ‘Northern soul favourites’ and enjoy them (either in the order displayed or random selection). They all come with a good quality photograph of the original release vinyl record label.

Some cracking tunes on there thanks Mala

No, it wasn’t me Lip. You’re talking about the real heroes - the hundreds of Northern Soul DJ’s who have been discovering and spinning these brilliant sounds since the late 1960’s. Special memory goes to local DJ Mick Collins (RIP) who made a ‘very rare uptempo soul’ C90 cassette for me (and my sister) which was based on the music being played at the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester.
