Northern Soul is a way of life, the music my therapy.
I now question everything because I can and I'm old.
I laugh at stupid things mainly myself.

My next tune is a monster high tempo spin, Len Jewell - Betting On Love (Fontana 1967). This is a very popular play around the Northern Soul Scene due to that driving beat.

My next is a lovely little tune, its not a big brash monster but it's played in small venues, The Festivals - Music (Smash 1966). I've always liked this, we can't help what we like or dislike. Hope you enjoy.

My second of the day is Jimmy McFarland - Lonely Lover (RPR 1969). A mid tempo ballard from this blue eyed soul singer who recorded for Steve Benson - this track comes from an unwanted acetate of Marvin Gaye singing the song.

Morning, first tune up is The Apollos - Mr Creator (Warner Bros 1967) a 'Barn Storming Floor Filler' that defies the years and stills sounds as fresh today as when first heard. The Apollos never reached the heights their talent deserved.

My next is Tommy Bush & The Ernst Scott Band - I Don't Like It (But I Love You) (Rika 1966). This driving R & B beat makes it a popular dancefloor filler. Originals are hard to find.

My first tune of the day is Larry Atkins - Ain't That Love Enough (Romark 1968) the heavy stomping intro from producer Kent Harris is a mark of his genius. Originals are hard to find but two recent reissues make up for that.
