Album Description
• This is Kent’s first compilation taken from the legendary LA Northern Soul label and has the superior sound and packaging that Kent are famous for. • Includes a recently discovered Bobby Garrett vocal version of the Olympics’ ‘Exclusively Mine’. Unearthed from the freshly acquired master tapes and with a different set of lyrics too; amazing! • There are several other tracks that weren’t on the previous Mirwood release (not on Kent and now deleted) and unusually they are some of the more obvious box office numbers: Jackie Lee ‘Oh My Darlin’’, Curtis Lee ‘Is She In Your Town’. •Many tracks are from master tape for the first time on CD and the booklet contains a great deal of new information and an in-depth history of the label. •Bobby Garrett’s ‘I Can’t Get Away’, as featured in a recent KFC TV advertisement, appears on a Kent CD for the first time. • Also features the The Olympics’ track ‘I’ll Do A Little Bit More’, as sampled by Fat Boy Slim on ‘Soul Surfin’ from the album "You’ve Come A Long Way Baby".

Customer Reviews

Cool
Seems odd that 2 Volumes called The Mirwood Story miss out Harlem Shuffle.
But this is actually the business and so much better than Philly Soul.
Mirwood had a sub label called Mira which issued records by Carol Connors

Get this
A couple of years ago,KFC had adverts on the TV with soul music and one particular advert was of northern soul in a music shop and everyone loved the tune that goes with it but nobody knew what the song was called and who by.After some detective work :) i found it,it was Bobby Garrett `I can`t get away`.Brilliant song,brilliant singer,Mirwood Soul brilliant album.

Top Northern classics from the Mirwood stable
This is a quality Compilation and contains some of the biggest monsters of the northern soul scene Heyday.
You cannot ignore such artist's as bob and earle, Bobby garret, The Olympics, Jackie Lee, and Mr Beatin Rhythm himself Richard Temple, Who incidentally are all the same bloke!! Well nearly!
Classic after classic on this CD. The the words Monster and stomper are vastly overused on the northern soul cicuit, but for a change not on this compilation.
