Northern Soul - The Soundtrack

Harmless issue the soundtrack to the film, 'Northern Soul' directed by Elaine Constantine. Northern Soul is the most accurate portrayal yet of this legendary musical movement which started in the north of England in the late 1960s and has now spread around the world and become a huge international scene. 14 x 7" discs, all in pic-sleeves featuring key scenes from the film, together with a specially commissioned 60 page hardback-bound book of carefully selected film stills which has been painstakingly edited and re-touched by Elaine Constantine, the director of 'Northern Soul'. A perfect collector's item from what will be one of the most distinctive films of recent times. To be treasured forever. Needless to say, these 14 discs present 28 of the greatest Northern Soul classics of all-time, many of which are making their UK release for the very first time. Every one of these tracks has been a floor-filler on the Northern Soul scene throughout its history and many of the original U.S. releases still command a huge value. In fact the cumulative value of all the original pressings in the set comes to an astounding £35,260 (as valued by John Manship in July 2014). A 'must-have' purchase for anyone who is interested in British musical culture, U.S. soul music and collecting serious Northern Soul music on its original vinyl format!CD version consists of CD1: the soundtrack itself containing all the key Northern Soul tracks from the film, CD2: an additional CD of specially chosen Northern Soul tracks compiled by "Northern Soul" director Elaine Constantine and an exclusive DVD with Elaine Constantine being interviewed about the making of the film by actor James Lance who plays top Northern Soul DJ Ray Henderson in the film. Plus there is some nice extras on the DVD! This beautifully packaged 2CD / DVD package also comes with a 20 page booklet specially written by Gareth Sweeney - co-author of the bestselling accompanying book 'Northern Soul'.
