Mark Bicknell Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I really did not fancy the trip to the supermarkey today as my foot still hurts like hell but to avoid any grief i went and i'm so glad i did, walking around the music section of our local Asda as my boy wanted another '50 Cent' CD, i was drawn to this display named 'The Solid Gold Selection' just for a look as you do, then i noticed this well packaged gold box double CD - Northern Soul - 36 Stomping Floor Shakers, at the first glance i thought oh no not another dodgy selection of re - records as at £4.97 it has to be crap.......wrong! On picking this CD up it was in the trolly within seconds, it's as i say a double package of some 36 tracks most of which are taken from the One- Derful, M-Pac, Midas and Mar-V-Lus group of companies out of Chicago plus a selection of other labels, now most of this stuff as been out on CD before via Charly and Goldmine but for it's money under a fiver this is a pretty good selection to leave in the car and enjoy, includes a couple of down tempo fillers but all in all superb stuff, very good quality recordings, well packaged , comprehensive notes on the artists and tracks featured compiled by a guy called Bill Baker? Ok 'The Snake' is included but that's about as average as this dynamite packed gets..........here's the track listing, one or two of the tracks i'm sure have not been out on CD before but will have to check...quick Asda closes at 4pm on a Sunday....lol - Please this is not a wind up honest IN ASDA NOW AT £4.97 Stand out tracks for me are in bold print. CD 1. BETTY EVERETT - GETTING MIGHTY CROWDED OTIS CLAY - I'M SATISFIED THE SHARPEES - DO THE 45 MARY SILVERS - THE POWER OF LOVE RINGLEADERS - BABY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR LOVE AL WILSON - THE SNAKE LIZ LANDS - DON'T SHUT ME OUT OTIS CLAY - A FLAME IN MY HEART THE ACCENTS - WHO YOU GONNA LOVE LUCKY LAWS - WHO IS SHE THE SHARPEES - JUST TO PLEASE YOU BETTY EVERETT - YOUR LOVE IS IMPORTANT TO ME OTIS CLAY - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO DENISE CHANDLER - I'M WALKING AWAY THE FASCINATIONS - GIRLS ARE OUT TO GET YOU INSPIRATIONS - YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND BETTY EVERETT - PLEASE LOVE ME BEVERLEY SHAFFER - WHERE WILL YOU BE BOY?

Big sorry but i've made a mistake with the compilers name should read Bill Buckley and not Bill Baker as i put, of Blues and Soul Magazine i think, really sorry for putting wrong information, check out their web page, some pretty interesting cd's listed.

Guest ScooterNik Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I picked this up at the weekend too, there were about a dozen copies for sale in Accrington. Popped back on tuesday to get one for a mate and they'd all gone. Someoneelse must think its a worthwhile puchase? Excellent album, thats ASDA price And is it my imagination or does 'The Snake' sound different? Horns don't sound right in some places? Maybe it is just my imagination, I've not listened to it in quite some time!
