Era Records Northern Soul / Various - Era Records Northern Soul / Various - Music CD

UK collection of hip Northern Soul stompers from the Era Records label. Includes classic tracks as well as previously unissued gems. Including the HB Barnum-arranged 'Dance with Me' by Billy Watkins and excellent alternate readings of 'Stand There Mountain' and 'The Blue Shadow' that Herb Newman had cut on pop acts previously. There are Popcorn classics from the very colorful Bruce Cloud (check out the sleeve notes on him!) and the glamorous Carol Connors, while Steve Flanagan's Stafford monster 'I've Arrived' sounds great alongside Melvin Boyd's killer version of 'Exit Loneliness, Enter Love'.
