You have to really search through the Doré catalogue to find the soul 45s, but when you do it is hugely rewarding. Its jewels have only been revealed to Northern Soul collectors over time and several are ridiculously scarce; Little Johnny Hamilton’s 'Keep On Movin’’ and the Swans’ 'Nitty Gritty City’ remain one-off disc discoveries. Guaranteed dancefloor classics abound, including Rita & the Tiaras’ 'Gone With The Wind Is My Love’, Little Johnny Hamilton’s 'Oh How I Love You’ and the Puffs’ 'I Only Cry Once A Day Now’.

The Superbs’ 'Wind In My Sails’ and Milton James’ mesmeric 'My Lonely Feeling’ represent the funkier end of the Northern Soul sound, while tracks by Ray Marchand and the Shades Of Jade are subtle mid-tempo soul of the highest quality. Nearly all are rare, expensive and beautiful, while Kenard’s 'What Did You Gain By That’ is highly imaginative, and the Fidels’ 'I’m Givin’ You Notice Baby’ is just a classic 60s soul stomper.

All together on beautiful 12-inch vinyl, they are irresistible.
