Amazon.co.uk: The Best Northern Soul All-Nighter... Ever: Music: Various Artists

In the meantime, if you can find a link for that ^ it's a good a place as any to start.
The reviews are pretty spot on.
It does have a few tracks I wouldn't really associate with Northern Soul, but then that's because I'm a purist.

It shouldn't be too hard to find, it's probably one of the more widely available compilations.
It has one or two favourites of mine including the 3 before 8.
So called because the 3 were played last at Wigan allnighters, just before kicking out time at 8am.

'Long After Tonight Is All Over'
'Time Will Pass You By'
'I'm On My Way'

Moloko (nice tune) + dancing which is a major part of the scene.
It's not just all about rare 60's vinyl.

Fantastic tune. I don't think I ever saw it before. And Paddy's in it...<3

Not a bad mover either.

You can tell he's learnt a few moves for the vid, but he does look a touch rusty.

Northern Soul Compilation for jackhammer and anyone else who's interested.

Just for fun and to make it a bit more interesting for the listener, this compilation is laid out with a storyline.
I've tried my best to put them in the order listed below, but for some reason the upload mixed them up randomly.
So a quick re-arrange before listening should do the trick.

Most of these tracks are Northern standards, some are Motown rarities and one is pure Deep Soul.

Boy meets girl, she reluctantly falls in love despite a recent heartbreak. Suspicion and fear of commitment leads to relationship breakdown ...or does it?

To be played in the following order;

1. The Girl Across The Street - Moses Smith

2. Lonely Lover – The Four Tops

3. You’re Gonna Make Me Love You – Sandi Sheldon

4. Open The Door To Your Heart – Darrel Banks

5. You Got Me – Jaibi (not a northern track, but a deep soul song and easily the most perfect tune in existence)

6. Sunny – Marvin Gaye

7. Turning My Heartbeat Up – MVP’s

8. Suspicion – The Originals

9. Tainted Love – Gloria Jones (1964 original much covered and still the best)

10. Just A Little Misunderstanding – The Contours

11. Here Are The Pieces Of My Broken Heart – Gladys Knight & The Pips

12. You Don’t Want Me No More – Major Lance

13. No One There – Martha Reeves

14. There’s A Ghost In My House – R. Dean Taylor (covered by The Fall)

15. Lonely, Lonely Girl Am I – The Velvelettes

16. Seven Days Too Long – Chuck Woods



For men with soul and all women.
