This compilation of 24 northern soul classics manages to almost completely stay away from the 'safe and sound' style of too many of this type of compilations. Not a bad track amongst them, the only slight discordant note is the inclusion of two songs on the same backing track, the Ike and Tina Turner one uses the same tune as Larry Lasters.
That said, with the exception of the Hal Frazier closer and Ella Fitzgeralds version of Smoke Robinsons 'Get Ready', this is not a stand out album but one that you could play as a warm up to a night out.
Stand out track - The aforementioned 'After Closing Time' from Hal Frazier. A great floor filler.
8/10
