2015 collection containing some of northern soul's finest jams. Nearly five years has elapsed since Ace's last volume in this popular series and this CD reflects the continued success of funk-influenced dancers on the Northern Soul scene. The obscure Atlanta-based Sho Biz label provides 'Lover Man' by the Soul Brothers in that style; this is by far the rarer of their two singles. Mel Davis' 'Just Another Smile' first found favor on the Deep Funk scene but the solid beat enabled it to crossover to forward-thinking Northern venues in the same way that the Webb People's 'I'm Sending Vibrations' has done. That Dave Hamilton track, produced in Detroit, is featured in an extended version with superb multi-track tape audio for the first time.
