I'm not much of a Northern Soul connoisseur, myself, I found the comp to 
be the low point in the first series of Decca Scene comps (they did get 
worse).  I don't know, I really found nothing mindblowing about it, the 
Foundations "Nothing But a Heartache" has gotten a little boring, and 
digging up a David Essex pop track did sound like the scraping of the 
barrell as Mark pointed out.  Not my cup of tea, and I would certainly 
recommend the Freakbeat, Psychedelic, R&B, and Mod (not volume 2) Scenes 
in the series.

By the way, that's Billie Davis who's pictured on the back of the CD, 
and not Abbie Davis.  Actually, I got that Billie Davis track "Billy 
Sunshine" with a picture sleeve for $2 right before the comp came out!
