New (Old) Podcast - Northern Soul Forgotten Oldies

[Pete S]

(Have found the discs containing most of my old podcasts from Podomatic so am going to post a few up).

Ah yes, more of those tunes stuck in the back of your record box gathering dust — well some of them are anyway — the likes of Barbara & Brenda, Bob & Earl, John Lees Groundhogs, Funky Sisters don’t get a look in nowadays, and other like The Nomads, The Delites, Sam Williams and The Just Brothers are just in such short supply in their original format that very few people can actually play them. Tracks like Calvin Williams, The Monclairs, Robert Parker and the incredible Bruce Scott beat ballad are simply underrated. (Interesting to note that since I did this podcast in 2009 or 2010, the Paul Anka record has become the scene's biggest revived record!)
