VARIOUS ARTISTS "ALLNIGHTER II" (GOLDMINE/SOUL SUPPLY)

The quality of Goldmine releases is constantly increasing (also booklets have fine pictures and complete notes) and this new Tim Brown's compilation can be considered one of their best. If you love R&B you'll find excellent stuff like AC Reed's "My Baby's Been Cheating", Cookie Jackson's "Do You Still Love Me", and Shirley Lawson's "The Star" (the flip of "One More Chance" in vol. 1). Are you looking for Northern Soul midtempo magic? Check out the Sherlock Holmes "Standing A Standstill", the Four Tracks "Like My Love For You", Gerry Granger's "Castle In The Sky" or Joe Douglas "Crazy Things". Is Crossover the last frontier? The Constellations rarity "I Don't Know About You", one of the most indemand record right now, will break your heart at first listen. There are also a Modern Soul mover, Ronnie McNeir's "Good Side Of Love", and a couple of emotional ender for good measure, Jackie Taylor's original version of "Walkin' Back" and Big Dee Irwin's "You Satisfy My Needs". The whole soul spectrum is represented here, further sounds of Northern Soul in the new Millenium.
