That's Not Love
Here's a track that I used to be tortured over when young and wanting to be seen as the cool, knowledgeable soul fan with impeccable taste.
That's Not Love was pop song, not northern soul I was told and should not be taken seriously, but those drums, that beat, the anguished vocals not to mention the Spectorish production what's not to like? It wasn't until about ten years ago or so I felt comfortable enough to admit to myself how much I liked this record. Fucking sad isn't it? But that is another facet of northern soul.
While I'm in such a confessional mood I would also like to put on record that I bloody love Wayne Gibson's cover of Under My Thumb. There I've said it and feel all the better for it.

Just heard this track, jolly good. But Jasmine Kara is simply tremendous, Should be number one on Top of the Pops.
It's got absolutely no chance of getting to number 1 George, there's no vocoder or autotune involved.
I love Skiing in the Snow by Wigan's Ovation. There's always somebody less less thn you somewhere you know.
Anon - doesn't that feel better letting it out, although I understand why you would wish to remain nameless.
