Never really listened to any Northern Soul apart from in passing. Feel there's a gap in my musical education. Can anyone recommend a decent compilation to get me going?
Have you read 'Skag Boys' by Irvine Welsh? It's a prequel to 'Trainspotting' but there are a fair few scenes when the characters make the drive from Edinburgh to Blackpool to go to the Mecca. Decent read aside too.

I might give that irvine welsh book a go.
there are a lot of northern soul and soul scene books and a movie soon coming out as well.
here is a link to footage from the movie being made and the actors talking.
I have quite a few of the books will dig out some tonight for titles. Not read any for years to be honest but they got me into it at the beginning so played a big part in converting me.
regarding hearing a good selection of music cheap then the best place to start would be the ace / kent CDs
