Various R&B Meets Northern Soul, Vol.2 (LP)

(Vinyl Only Records) 20 Tracks

Britain's Northern Soul scene has steadily embraced other forms of relevant black dance music throughout its 40 year history. In the late sixties, rare Motown sound-a-likes more or less defined the may Northern Soul was meant to be. Since that point the scene has taken on seventies soul, eighties soul, near-funk, early style uptown soul, beaty pop, jazz soul, nineties soul, current releases all to a lesser or greater extent with various little splinter movements from those that wanted much more of the said style. Recent years have been a massive move towards what is known as R nB an amalgamation of dance styled blues, hard soul (a Chicago term meaning 'gritty raw sixties soul dancers) and early uptown soul.
