      It's a pity they have started to duplicate tracks already issued on other compilations. Three of the 17 tracks can be found on the same label. Having said that all are Northern Soul gems. This is the follow up from Motown Connoisseurs compilation. Great club dance movers by Jimmy Ruffin, Tony Clarke  and Edwin Starr. The very soulful Dee Dee Warwick  "Worth Ever Tear I Cry" which is new to me.  Jerry Butler gives a powerful performance on "Moody Woman", he still remains a very underrated performer. Compiled and Sleeve notes by Richard Searling. Issued on Spectrum  CD 556 827-2.
