Not content with producing a Chess Records box, Universal is also releasing The Capitol Northern Soul 7-inch box set on the very same day.
This is compiled by Richard Searling, pulling tracks from the Capitol archives between the years 1965 and 1969 and like the Chess box, a mix of the familiar and the lesser known.

The Outsider’s ‘Lonely Man’ is being issued here legally for the very first time whilst there is also a first time 7-inch appearance for The Magnificent Men’s ‘Keep on Climbin’, a Wigan Casino track which had previously only existed as an album cut.
Also here is The World Column’s ‘So Is The Sun’, Patrice Holloway’s ‘Stolen Hours’ (another prized Wigan Casino track), Billy Preston’s sought after ‘The Girl’s Got It’, Jerry Cook’s ‘I Hurt On The Side’, Sam Williams ‘Love Slipped Through My Fingers’, Bobby Sheen’s ‘Sweet Sweet Love’ and Bobby Paris’ ‘I Walked Away’. The full breakdown is below.
