Superb Compilation & Worth Waiting For - By: J. ROGER THORPE, 13 Jan 2010 
After getting to this album by searching for my all time favourite - Are You Ready For This by The Brothers - I soon realised the whole album was filled with gems too many to mention. In fact I would go as far as to say 25 out of 25 are continually being played, at home, at work &in the car travelling. I thought I only knew about 5 of the tracks but was pleasantly surprised to find I had heard at least half of them. I am certainly not a Northern Soul expert & had never been to Blackpool Mecca or any other of the well known venues but had heard tracks backin the 70's at local clubs I went to. This album is extremely good value, brings back many happy memories & comes highly recommended. I hope the other associated compilations are as good.
Northern Soul - By: Mr. Roderick S. Barnes, 22 Dec 2009 I bought this CDin the hope that it covered the sixties era as did the Twisted Wheel CD. Although it doesn't it still turned out to be a brillant Northern Soul album. Its a pity that the Blackpool Twisted Wheel of the sixities has not been covered as along with the Mecca it brought some great music to the North.
Some great tracks here - By: M. Crook, 12 Mar 2009 I never quite made it to Wigan Casino or Blackpool Mecca but loved the music when I could get to hear it. This is a great collection of Northern Soul tracks, some of which I never thought I'd find on CD. Favourites are the tracks by Philly Devotions (which I've had on an old Boots C90 cassette for about 30 years), Van McCoy, the MVPs & the Brothers.
Well worth the relatively small investment.
Outstanding monster tracks - you can't fault - By: TheJonesBoy, 16 Jan 2009 Amazon are giving this away. On vinyl you'll part with over £150 for David Lee's track.
I've the first 3 volumes & this is by far & away the killer - that said, get them all. Monsters, gems, truly outstanding soul. Uptempo stompers, floaters & spinners.
Pass me the talc, I'm off again...
Modern soul at its best. - By: J. C. Lott, 13 Oct 2008 Blackpool Mecca was at the cutting edge of Northern soul music & with this compilation you will see why.
Instead of filling the gaps with inane, obscure pop music to keep the dance floor filled like other clubs, messrs Levine & Curtis led the way playing fresh modern soul music that others refused to play.
For a taste of the mecca(If you never got to go) This is a good CD & you will get to hear just a fraction what the mecca was playingin its hey day.....Modern soul before the phrase was widely used as it is today, From the No1 club at that time.
