GO AHEAD... AND SEE WHAT'S IN STORE!
GO AHEAD RECORDS will release 45s and compilation CDs on a regular basis, drawing from the rich vein of quality soul music with which I ve been associated since 1970. Northern Soul and Deep Soul, Crossover and Rare Groove - our mission statement is that we will always look to release product sourced from original master tapes, and that the rights will always be professionally secured in a manner that gives back to the songwriters and performers.
Each release will have a winning song on each side, and wherever possible there will be a collectable picture sleeve made available where artist images allow and will include detailed information about each release. Each release will be pressed on solid centre, top quality vinyl and will be produced on a strictly limited edition run. Top quality previously unreleased material will also be licensed in from time to time.
The last few softback copies of my book. 285 pages telling the inside story of Northern Soul at venues such as Wigan Casino. These will be individually signed by the author.
