(0 ratings) WELL FOLKS THIS IS IT, THE FINAL 20 TRACKS IN MY ALL TIME TOP NORTHERN SOUL OLDIES. I’LL LEAVE THE TOP 10 BLANK FOR A WHILE SO THAT THEY WILL COME AS A SURPRISE, AND A NICE YOUNG MAN WILL INTRODUCE EACH OF THE TOP 10 (WELL HE WILL SAY “NUMBER 10” ETC), IT GETS QUITE EXCITING!. WHEN IT’S ALL OVER, THE LEGENDARY WOLFMAN JACK WILL SIGN OFF FOR ME
I HOPE YOU’VE ENJOYED IT ALL, IT WAS GREAT FUN DOING IT, I MIGHT DO THE NEXT 100 IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL.

THE TOP 100 NORTHERN SOUL OLDIES OF ALL TIME – AS CHOSEN BY ME.
IT GETS LONELY SITTING HERE AT HOME GAZING OUT OF THE WINDOW SO TO KILL SOME TIME I DECIDED TO GET ALL MY OLD FAVOURITE RECORDS OUT AND SEE IF I COULD PUT THEM IN SOME ORDER OF FAVOURITISM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK AS THERE ARE SO MANY ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT NORTHERN SOUL RECORDS TO CHOOSE FROM – BUT I’VE HAD A GO AND COME UP WITH A TOP 100. ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I COULD TURN THESE INTO A 4 OR 5 EPISODE SERIES OF PODCASTS AND IT MIGHT BE FUN FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN IN AND MAYBE GUESS WHAT’S COMING NEXT, WHAT’S IN THE TOP 10, AND HOW SHIT MY TASTE IN MUSIC IS. SO I DID IT, AND THE FIRST 20 TRACKS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO AS A PODCAST.
REMEMBER, IT’S JUST A BIT OF FUN, THEY ARE JUST MY FAVVOURITE RECORDS, IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE SOME KIND OF OFFICIAL CHART!
I ALSO ADDED A FEW 60’S RADIO JINGLES FOR NO REASON REALLY.
PLEASE, ENJOY!
