Nice thread, i've done a few write up's for magazines and also did a whole radio show for Ash from the north east soul club a couple of years back, as Geoff say's you don't really get to hear most of the stuff we were digging in the 60s with a few exceptions, I think the original mod movement took in a whole lot more than black soul music such as Ska, beat (Small Faces, Kinks etc)and a bit of psych (but nothing too heavy), but up here in Edinburgh it was mostly bread and butter soul records that were played, but it was left to some of the great bands from Glasgow such as The Pathfinders, The Poets, The Beatstalkers to really open our ears to unheard soul stuff to which the club dj's quickly latched on to and brought the records into the clubs for us to drool over, this is a short list of stuff that was played in the major clubs up here other than the normal stuff,
