Product Description
by Dave Rimmer (Author)
Originally published in 2002 in a limited run of 1000 copies, The Rare Soul Bible - An A - Z Of Northern Soul has been in demand ever since. Therefore, due to renewed demand because of the publication of Volume 2, Dave Rimmer, the author has decided to 'Reissue' the original Volume 1. Whilst there are no new discographies in the Reissue, all the ones in the original release have been updated, in some cases, with almost double the entries, meaning there are over 100 more pages in The Reissue. The Northern Soul scene has encompassed a wide range of musical styles; street corner Doo-Wop, through gritty R & B and sanctified southern Soul to driving, hard edged Funk. This exhaustive compilation, catalogues thousands of 45s by artists who are connected (in some cases, often by just one release) to the scene. Also included are a year of venue reports, and Dave's forthright views of the contemporary Northern Soul circuit. The Rare Soul Bible is a route map for the serious Soul vinyl addict.
