MOD SOUL NUGGETS

VA - Looking Good,  75 Femme Mod Soul Nuggets [2013] (3 x CD's)

This set was compiled by Northern Soul and Girl Group specialist Glenn ‘Joe Boy’ Gunton, with booklet essay by noted music journalist, Mojo and Record Collector writer Lois Wilson, and Looking Back creator John Reed. These collectable rarities are from the vaults of the classic US labels Columbia, Challenge, Hickory, Era, King, Scepter, Musicor, Cameo, Swan, Velgo, ABC, Dial, Lawn, Okeh, Date. 

Fans of girl groups (especially Northern Soul fans) will like this collection. While there's several good collections already available, this set focuses on girl group sounds you might hear at a soul dance club. Most tracks is an up-tempo, hand-clapping, get your butt on the dance floor, tune. The majority of songs are by U.S. artists, with a few from Britain. And that's where the focus stays and gives this collection it's own identity. No matter if the performer is well known or an unknown with a one-off single before disappearing, this set is full of that great girl group soul sounds of the 60's. Northern Soul fans will be close to Heaven listening to this collection. All in all, a tightly focused, well produced collection of Mod Soul from the 1960's. Featuring plenty of rarities and a couple of previously unreleased songs, this is a worthwhile and welcome collection. (Amazon)
