‘Shades of Soul’ explores the sophisticated side of Northern Soul with a smooth collection of soulful recordings that have, overtime, become known as “Cross-over”. Here we have perennial dance floor favourites from Gene Townsel, Johnny Adams, Eddie Billups and Jackey Beavers plus more recent reactivations such as “I’ve Just Got To Tell Somebody” by Gloria Lynne thanks to DJ Richard Searling. We also feature the rarest of the rare courtesy of Point Of View, The Harmonics and Gerald Taylor. Sixteen mid and up-tempo grooves that showcase the crossover from Northern to Modern Soul.
