Another week, another northern soul compilation. Ho hum. Thankfully, Northern Soul Connoisseurs is anything but a routine collection. Following on from the superb Motown Connoisseurs, this 18 tracker is once again compiled by eminent northern DJ Richard Searling–and what a selection. As well as a clutch of celebrated classics, including the scene’s ultimate anthem, Frank Wilson’s “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)”, there’s a smattering of highly sought after rarities. The previously unreleased Motown cut “He Who Picks A Rose” by Jimmy Ruffin a number one sound on the scene, so its inclusion is an especially timely masterstroke. Other Motor City marvels include The Supremes jaw-droppingly stupendous “Stormy” and the CD debut of Earl Van Dyke’s instrumental mod fave “6 X 6”. More familiar perhaps, but equally welcome are Terry Callier’s “Look At Me Now”, Edwin Starr’s “Back Street”, Tony Clarke’s “Landslide” and The Originals stampeding floor stomper “Suspicion”. In short, there’s not a single dud track and with its deft mix of the rare and the renowned, Northern Soul Connoisseurs is essential for fervent collectors and northern novices alike. – Chris King
