LADIES NIGHT

more northern soul girl groups for ya. a bit more crossover soul on this compilation, lots of scorchers! i was trolling on ebay for the top-watched soul 45's and found that an original single of my favorite track on this collection, "just say you're wanted (and needed)" by Gwen Owens is up in the $2000 range. i guess there was only 50 or so made, but sheesh. save some scratch, folks.



Northern Soul Girls Vol. 4

Correlations

1979 follow-up to the album Blackouts (aka the #1 downloaded record on this blog, here). the two pair nicely, but Blackouts still reigns supreme over here at HYS headquarters. more cosmiche tropical prog/kraut stuff, maybe with a hint of italo disco?

GIRLS OF GOLDEN WORLD

killer collection of girl groups and solo artists from the Golden World label, one of the finest from the prime of the Detroit Soul scene in the 60's. if you've been trying to crack the sizeable coconut that is Northern Soul and find the true meat, this is a pretty solid starting point, as is the "Guys Of Golden World" comp. the track "Hey!!" by Barbara Mercer is worth the D/L alone. seriously recommended!

"Pieces Of Quiet"

Slovenly, Peter...

one of if not the most forgotten band in the SST Records lineage, and definitely one of the more challenging. featuring labelmates Saccharine Trust's drummer Rob Holzman.
