Deptford Northern Soul Club

Deptford Northern Soul Club Records is a modern reissue label, in association with [PIAS], that aims to bring the magic of Northern Soul music to both young and old enthusiasts. Founded by Will Foot and Lewis Henderson, this label is dedicated to preserving and sharing the authentic sound of Northern Soul as it was meant to be heard. With their passion for the genre, they curate a collection of timeless tracks that capture the essence of this iconic movement. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the scene, Deptford Northern Soul Club Records invites you on a journey through soulful melodies and infectious rhythms.

A classic Vee-Jay side from 1965 that originally sneaked out on the Bay Area Wee label. The original goes for around £100, the second Wee press for £75, while the Vee-Jay version is 50 quid a throw. That said, copies are few and far between these days.

Featuring an upbeat, brass-powered Temptations- like harmony with a call and response, a deep sax wail and a piano motif pushing it forward towards a glorious middle eight that breaks into a Gospel roll out. Powered by Ric-Tic-like drum rolls; a euphoric soulful classic split into two essential parts.

The Ballads were a four-piece from Oakland, across the bridge from San Francisco, featuring Freddie Hughes, who would later sign to Wand. The band themselves almost made it, charting in 1968 with the Willie Hutch-produced ‘God Bless Our Love’ but this earlier recording is the business. Both sides remastered from the original sound source.
