22 year old here (from New Jersey, funnily enough...) I discovered this compilation my first year of college and I've been in love with it ever since. I didn't grow up with this kind of music, nor do I have any frame of reference for the Northern Soul scene in the UK, but I appreciate these songs all the same. Over the years they've soundtracked my study sessions, bus rides, and generally all aspects of my college life. Since I've graduated now I think I owe some thanks to the video that got me thru it all. Much gratitude from the States!
Hi Jules, thanks for your wonderful comments. I have been a collector of this type of music since the late 60's and not a day goes by without me listening to some. As an obsessive collector the search for rare records that I have never heard before never ends.
23 and also from New Jersey! I got into Northern Soul my last couple years of high school. Only recently revisited this compilation and it’s bringing back so many memories.
Wot goes round comes around as youth 70's this gave me a view of surving a sad background in industrial u.k. but also gave ne reason ,still here still listening, think if i was unconcious play bit northern my feet couldnt help but twitch 65 years old but not just music its reason a way of life . My kids 20's love it also have broad music affinity, but i always come back to this. Ktf a way of life
I was 60 years young and I am still enjoying my nights out on the scene dancing the night away in the Manchester area UK . Currently on the 2nd Trac of this compilation which are quite poppy blue eyed soul but delightful all the same cant wait for the rest if the comp x Keep loving this music and it will be with you forever x
My compliments to the "chef"...I LUV the CLASSIKZ n OLD SKOOL...I'm from Baltimore n some of this I have NEVER come across at flea markets n Thrift stores...Luv me some Utube!!! THANX again
OMG the Spontanes 'Where did I go wrong'. Love this soo much Don't think the Falcons have ever made a bad record thanks for sharing these cracking tunes
proppa mint tunes mate,my 43 year love affair with northern soul continues !!!!! forgot most of these existed !!! some real tear jerkers and thought provoking tunes,well done as one of the best plays on you tube,like to see you dj at our first local weekender in Tynemouth next march !!!! respect,micky p Newcastle upon tyne
Love, I love you the chevrons , a supreme track & the spontanes - where did I go wrong 2 fabulous tracks not heard in long time thanks Chris great uploading ✊🏻✊🏻
I heard of Northern Soul but it was confusing because I thought it was referring to New Jersey and Philadelphia/USA area in the 60s. I just watched the docu and it answered a lot of questions for me. I've always loved obscure 60s music so I wish I knew of this movement MUCH earlier!
Track at 31:40 is - 21st Century - Shadow Of A Memory - Dot - I got the running order mixed up when I uploaded the Pictures of the records the record appears at 51:17
Steve ( or possibly you ) used to DJ with my older brother Al (Koll) McKillop. Also our parents were friends (fromThe King Bill in Thurcaston where I lived) and we all used to come to your house and swim!
For the avoidance of confusion with my American friends these sounds are coming from gigs I have deejayed at in "Old" Jersey in the United Kingdom Channel Islands, not to be confused with New Jersey USA. That said, I would love to be doing gigs stateside. Just waiting for the invites !!!!
Yeah I'm moving to Houston TX very shortly so it ill be interesting finding out what their scenes like. How they dance, music tastes, the social side and if they have problems staying awake IF they have niters lol Unfortunately its costing a fortune to take my vinyl but where theres a will etc ...............
If I ever get an event going here in Cleveland, Ohio, you would most certainly be welcome! You should also try to get in on the Keystone Soul Weekender, which is held every year in early November in Lancaster, PA. (put on by Dave Raistrick and Julio Fernandez, both great guys), though this year it's been canceled to the pandemic.

Tina, Glad you are enjoying my stuff. I have recorded a couple more playlists but my hard drive has gone belly up so they will have to wait a bit longer to upload. I guess you are catching up with all of my earlier playlists, hope you like them.
Hi Fernando I got the pictures of the records mixed up when I did the upload - the track is - 21st Century - Shadow Of A Memory - Dot - the picture appears at about 51:18
Grand stuff, Mr Frost. If you want a gig in the States I can sort you...my daughter is at University at Vassar...75 miles from NYC. Don't know if they'll let ME in but hey-ho! KTF.
aka "Mad Dad" Another one of those songs that make you ask "Where has it been hiding?" Don't believe this tune received much, if any, airplay here in Southern New England.
Hi there! I love tune at 31:40 . I know there is the vinyl in each song but I look for "The Impressions - Rhythm" and I get a different song. Could you help me? Great playlist btw
Hey man amazing playlists they run deep. Do u have a cd still for this playlist or others? I'm also headed out to ny in a few months to do a northern night from sf. And was wondering if u had any gigs going I could drag some folks out to. I'd love to hear some of this live. Its the cream under most radars. ktf. thank you
how far north of Watford do I need to go to get some of these fine northern vibes, I mean I don't wanna be venturing into Newcastle and the like, that really is up north aint it.
+georgethebear1812 - Northern these days is more metaphorical than geographical - I am in the Southern most part of the British Isles - Jersey and you cannot get any more northern than my gaff.
Really enjoying these collections. Thanks for the effort in "putting them up". In one case, the photo is not aligned with the actual song. For example, does anyone know the name (and artist) of the tune that follows "Baby I Love You" by the Tyn Tymes starting at 31:36 and playing through 34:33? The 45 that is pictured while the mystery tune is playing "Rhythm" by the Impressions. Any clues out there? Thanks.
65 and it still makes me move around the house like l was back dancing in Wigan again....oh so many late nights and memories.
The best play list ever. Keeping The Faith in the USA. Stomp all over me...🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥

The first crate diggers. The idea that great sounds cannot die. It's the spirit of music to revive that which also lifts up the soul.
JUST ONE MORE TIME........Look, the genius of this K gamble tune is that you wanna hear it over and over. Love the mixes mister.

Excellent selections here! I haven't heard of a single one. I'm sure your friends enjoyed it too, and hopefully they are still loving it.
Great sounds, great memories ktf.
along the way phet fueled ns galore
chills chills
For the avoidance of confusion with my American friends these sounds are coming from gigs I have deejayed at in "Old" Jersey in the United Kingdom Channel Islands, not to be confused with New Jersey USA. That said, I would love to be doing gigs stateside. Just waiting for the invites !!!!
+Chris Frost I'm sure someone over here would love to invite you! Greetings from a Northern Soul fan in Florida.
postwardreamz where is the NS scene in Fresno plz? Visiting family late September.
Yeah I'm moving to Houston TX very shortly so it ill be interesting finding out what their scenes like. How they dance, music tastes, the social side and if they have problems staying awake IF they have niters lol Unfortunately its costing a fortune to take my vinyl but where theres a will etc ...............
You mean you didn't also do gigs in Oxford.....Mississippi??? (
