In keeping in step with our northern soul issue I'd like to announce the release of a new book on the northern soul scene called "Northern Soul Stories" compiled and written by Neil Rushton. The narrative of the book are accounts and eye witnesses form key clubs like Wigan Casino, Blackpool Mecca, The Torch and The Catacombs.

If you go to the Northern Soul Stories website you can pre-order yourself a hardcover copy and pick up a free unreleased 45 with tracks by Jackie Ross and Marvin Gaye.
