by far the greatest ever essential mix of all time. This mix single handidly inspired me to pursue and dig deep into the Northern Soul archives, when I was still like 13 and knew nothing about it!

i recorded this on cassette and played it until it broke. Everyone was expecting a techno set and he bashed this out. Thank you sooo much for the download! xxx

will somebody PLEASE tell me who that version of "light my fire" is by? The penultimate track. I've been trying to find it by looking for John Schroeder, but I really don't think it was by him. Maybe he produced it and it's by someone else or something, but google is stumped, and so am I. And I can't take listening to any more cheesy versions.
HELP!

I remember when David did this on the show - completely took everyone by surprise with the tracklist choices. The rest, as they say, is history...
