Soulful Midtempos & Big City Beat Ballads

Northern Soul is about many different styles nowadays. Many of us who've reached a certain age just can't manage to bomb around the floor to The Jewels or Terrible Tom anymore - well not without serious repercussions health wise - so around 25 years ago, midtempo and so-called beat ballad sounds began to infiltrate playlists. Nowadays they're accepted as 'the norm' whereas back in the old days, you'd only really hear them played at the end of an evening. But for listening purposes - I love 'em. So here's a nice selection of beat ballads and midtempo sounds to chill out to. There's the Spector soundalikes from The Knickerbockers (never seen a stock copy of this) and Butler Brothers, early Detroit sounds from Dusty Wilson and The Ster-Phonics, some top class Motown and of course some major label big productions from the likes of Gwen Stacey and Linda Lloyd (sorry about the sound quality on this one by the way, it looks like it came out of a skip but does play through ok).

I hope you enjoy this one!

Didn't know you were still doing these Pete.

Can I get them directly through iTunes or do I have to keep checking on your website?

I tried submitting them to itunes but I probably didn't do it properly, didn't really know how to do it, they said they'd process the request but I never heard back.

If anyone does know how to do this, bit of advice would be very helpful.

They did it. If you click susbscribe in the black box at the bottom of the link you posted, you, well, subscribe to it.

And I just searched directly through iTunes Store and it's there too.

It's filed under Design, though. Might want to check that.

Have you, or anyone else, got any idea how that can be edited?
