"Collecting a mass of data from contributors, interviews with several generations of dancers, and diverse perspectives and conclusions on the Northern Soul scene, a rich and highly informative book developed. It shows the many differing opinions on DJs, stories, the movement's history, legendary performers and aspects of relationships, gender and fashion. . . . The book's data is mostly new and so are the texts and essays; however, there are some older texts on the theme included, that provide a good introduction (then and now) to northern soul research. . . . This title is some kind of a revelation, as it easily combines academic research with interviews and fans' stories on a large scale, leading to massive amounts of data. . . . Recommended reading through and through." --Dr. A. Ebert, popcultureshelf.com, 2019.
