Some excellent tracks here and a good all round introduction to Northern Soul.
So swim...a good a place to start as any.

Some of the classic spins are;

Gloria Jones - 'Tainted Love'. I'd imagine everyone is aware of this track by now.
Fascinations - 'Girls Are Out To Get You'.
Laura Greene - 'Moonlight Music & You'. Could be heard on a Kentucky Fried Chicken advert a few years ago. One for the ladies.
Larry Williams & Johnny Watson - 'Too Late'. Instantly catchy.
Morris Chestnut - 'Too Darn Soulful'. Exactly that.
Lou Ragland - 'I Travel Alone'. One of my favourites.

Now these are two of the famous 3 before 8. Traditionally played at the end of a Wigan Casino allnighter, (which would finish at 8am).
Dean Parish - 'I'm On My Way'.
Tobi Legend - 'Time Will Pass You By'. To be played at my funeral. A track which on first listen you will fail to be impressed with, but sooner or later you will recognise to be... a solid piece of Soul gold.
The missing of the 3 being Jimmy Radcliffe's - 'Long After Tonight Is All Over'.

Erma Franklin - 'I Get The Sweetest Feeling'. Version of the Jackie Wilson classic. Awesome.

Billy Butler - 'The Right Track'. A song that has a strong and deeply personal
meaning (to me at least) and obviously my username. Also to be played at my funeral.

Marvin Gaye - 'Lonely Lover'. Worth the trouble of downloading on it's own.
Tells a sad story...real heartbreaker.
