Outta Sight presents volume 2 in the new R&B ‘Roots Of Northern Soul’ series featuring more new-to-CD rarities. The album opens with a killer-thriller courtesy of Big Maybelle, a larger than life figure familiar to all Northern Soul fans. Originally released in 1954 this dark and moody minor-key dancer sets the scene for our club soul playlist. Highlights include Danny Owens’ finger poppin’ CD debut “You’re A Little Too Late”; H B Barnum’s big city stroller “How Many More Times”; Lula Reed’s obscure “Puddentane”; Little Jimmy Griffin’s mod/soul scorcher “If Things Don’t Change” and Sidney Barnes’ first 45, the wonderfully atmospheric “Wait”.
