Disc Four

“Motorcity” – Part One

We look at the reunion in Detroit in the late eighties of most of the legendary Motown acts who brought the world the classic Motown Sound. We see the reunion in glorious never before seen archive footage. So many of these artists have now passed away, but we see them share their hopes and dreams, and get to sing in the studio once again, after so many years.

Disc Five

“Motorcity” – Part Two plus “Togetherness”

In the fifth disc, we continue the story of the reunion of the classic Tamla-Motown stars. We then look at the magic of the annual “Togetherness” weekenders at Fleetwood, where every year in October, two and a half thousand eager dancers flock to a caravan site in Fleetwood to dance their hearts out for three days and nights continuously, as if the outside world has ceased to exist.

Disc Six

The Making of “The Strange World Of Northern Soul”

And this is the icing on the cake. A four hour, in depth look, at the trials and tribulations of tracking down 131 artists, filming them and interviewing hundreds of DJs and dancers. Contains fourteen never seen before videos, not included in the original 131 performances. Plus deleted scenes that never made it to the final cut first time around.

This then is the ultimate in Northern Soul – A real collectors’ dream.
