I previously posted the jazzy ‘Low Lights & Trick Mirrors’, which was one of four compilations from Autumn 1986 provided by the NME.
Here’s another cassette from that series which is a compilation of predominately soul tunes from the EMI catalogue.
It was also issued in truncated versions as an LP & CD for the knock-down price of 99p at the same time and tracks have since appeared on various ‘Talcum Soul’ northern soul compilations, but none of them have the same flow.
From The O’Jays to Bettye Swan, here are 17 killer tracks that should have you groovin’ around your PC, if not you really need to see a doctor …

That was just great, thanks!
Sweet songs!
Another checkmark for digital versions of those great NME tapes. Cheers Hooky.
You are all welcome, let me know if you want it ‘boxed.
Erm, is the party over? Oh man, it’s posts like this that remind me to get over to the ‘Spill more often. I had the full set of NME cassettes (nicked by my loony brother). I learned to play three of these songs . . . Thanks.
For, Cernunnos’ sake ‘box it!!!
Please . . .
Webby – it’s boxed, happy birthday for this month
Woo-hoo! Thanks a lot!
