Soul Tight, Alright?

Side 2 of a mixtape, recorded sometime in February 2000. Time to get your wig on and get to Wigan Casino for some Northern Soul.
 
Whereas Side 1 was essentially an edited and re-sequenced selection from the 1998 budget price CD Soul Brother, Side 2 does the same with 1999 compilation This Is Northern Soul (volume 1, as it later transpired). Both were among many bought for a snip at Woolworths at the tail end of the 20th Century.

This selection packs 17 of the original 24 tracks onto one side of a C90 and contains classics either covered or sampled by the likes of The Clash, David Holmes/The Free Association, Soft Cell and Fatboy Slim, as well as Northern Soul takes on The Rolling Stones and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
 
If you want to relive the Woolies bargain bin experience, you can pick up both volumes of This Is Northern Soul for a couple of quid on Discogs.

2) Better Use Your Head: Little Anthony & The Imperials (1965)
