Product Description

BBC Review

Relatively unknown for many years, and with its defining venues (the Wigan Casino, the Twisted Wheel) now faded into historical footnotes, Northern Soul has always seemed ripe for a movie treatment. Featuring pilled-up Wigan lads and lasses dancing in massive flares to incredibly obscure soul singles, SoulBoy seeks to do for Northern Soul what Quadrophenia did for mod. And its greatest weapon is this soundtrack.

Two CDs of brilliant music – although, as one is labeled as the main character’s "mix tape", you fear for the film’s authenticity – this release will do more than any movie to popularise a genre so deliberately anti-commercial that DJs would steam the labels off their own rare, prized records to stop rivals from copying their sets. Still, it worked for mod, a movement whose music was almost as infectious, but riddled with a far more pernicious snobbery.

Some songs here will be familiar, like Dobie Gray’s The In Crowd and Gloria Jones’ original recording of Tainted Love, but most will be new to millions – which, considering there are nearly 50 tracks here, is really saying something. But knowledge here is irrelevant. Almost every song here follows the Motown dictum unrolled on The Supremes’ Baby Love – if you add a crashing, regular beat to every second of the song, everyone will be able to dance to it. Best of all, in songs like The Tams’ Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy – adverts once more bulldoze our cherished memories – and The Spinners’ What More Could a Boy Ask For, there’s a crashing wave of joy and euphoria that overwhelms the listener.

If by chance you choose these two CDs as the music for your next party, be warned – your guests may be unable to stop dancing and take themselves over the hills and far away to this unique, no-longer-obscure stomping music.

--David Quantick

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Into Northern Soul Here, 9 Oct 2010
By 
G. Hooper (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: SoulBoy - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
If you're new to the fantastic world of Northern Soul this is a pretty damn fine place to start exploring it. Notwithstanding it's a collection from the recently released film set in and around the Northern Soul scene of the 1970s (filmmakers are not immune to horribly mangling their supporting music), this is right on the button for capturing the spirit and joyful exuberance of a special music scene which amazingly is still little known to those who did not live through the period.

The problem with any Northern Soul collection is where to start; it's a vast field and whilst there are some 'standards' that seem to prop up most compilations (e.g. Dobie Gray's 'Out on the Floor' and Al Wilson's 'The Snake'), thereafter one can get lost in a huge pool of largely unknown black American soul music. But the fact that it is unknown doesn't mean to say it is in any way sub-standard or the poor relation to Motown; quite the opposite.

This collection shows just what utterly brilliant music Northern Soul DJs unearthed- this being no better epitomised by Frank Wilson's 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)' which appears on this compilation. And the rest of these two discs will give you a really good flavour of a musical genre just waiting to mined. This collection is not faultless of course - I for one would question the inclusion of Tom Jones in any Northern Soul collection. But the presence of the peerless Jimmy Radcliffe and his anthem 'Long After Tonight Is All Over' for me redeems any small slips in authenticity.

So, if you want a Northern Soul 'starter' pick up the soundtrack to SoulBoy - and then begin your exciting exploration of the wonderful world of Northern Soul. Oh, and play it loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soulboy film soundtrack, 14 Oct 2010
This review is from: SoulBoy - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Brill. Lots of good old Soul records to dance your socks off too. Some that I hadn't heard before but am loving them now! Have seen the film and it is worth watching if you love Soul music and dancing from back in the days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy memories for me., 12 Oct 2010
This review is from: SoulBoy - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This double C.D. is exellent, it's got loads of Wigan Casino floor filler's. It takes me right back to the best years of my life between 1974 to 1978 when i had some fantastic Saturday night / Sunday mornings ( allnighter's ) at Wigan Casino.
Can't wait to see the film ( to see if they have got it right or not ).
