Various Artists - Jumping At The Go Go - 20 Great Northern Soul Hits (1976) RCA

 I got a request for this iconic album recently, and after much searching i found that i had sold the album years ago, really cant remember ?..but the good news is i burnt it to cd first,if fact it was one of the first albums i ever did. so not flac sadly but mid bitrate and sound is very good. This was released in the Uk at the height of the Northern Scenes heyday. At the time these were really very hard to obtain records so it sold in droves over here.Most in all honesty have been released in various compilations over the years. But what a superb collection of classic tracks there is..i played this all the way through as i havent heard it in many a year...took me back to some fantastic nights at the various venues back then,as their was not that many to attend unlike today. Great tracks from the vaults of RCA. One of the very first vintage albums from back in the day. The strange thing is i found the album covers ?..but not the album ?...

The Big Boris track is also on something called North of Watford vol. 3, apparently put together by Wigan DJ Kev Roberts.
