Review: Easily one of the most exciting music movies to land this year, the soundtrack the Northern Soul: The Film reflects its attention to detail. As does the presentation; a box of fourteen picture sleeve 45"s with a hardback book full of beautiful photography, this is a must for all Northern Soul aficionados. The cuts are well curated, too. Very few big obvious numbers and all straight up stompers... From the Temptations-inspiring "If This Is Love" by The Precisions to the great duelling vocals between Larry Williams and Johnny Watson on "Too Late". A proper artefact of what's set to be a very well received movie.

Review: There's no doubt that The Odyssey was a labour of love for its' creator, former Northern Soul DJ and current Harmless Records boss Ian Dewhirst. His aim was simple: to put together the single most authoritative and expansive retrospective of that most British of underground dance cultures. Fittingly, he's more than succeeded; the 175-track, eight-CD collection boasts not only a wealth of popular "Northern" hits, but also plenty of sought-after obscurities. As if that wasn't enough to get the juices flowing, the box set also features two DVDs - an excellent documentary about the scene, and extensive interviews with key scene players - plus a 160-page book containing excerpts from Mike Ritson's definitive Northern Soul book, "The In Crowd". In other words, it's superb.
