"Northern Soul" is a 2014 British film directed by Elaine Constantine, set in the 1970s. It captures the vibrancy and emotional intensity of the Northern Soul movement, a cultural phenomenon centred around American soul music in Northern England. The story follows two young men, John and Matt, who are drawn into this exhilarating world of dance, music, and the pursuit of rare records. It's a coming-of-age tale that explores themes of friendship, ambition, and the transformative power of music, set against a backdrop of working-class life. 

The score of "Northern Soul" features a wide array of rare and iconic soul tracks that defined the Northern Soul scene. This music is characterized by up-tempo beats, heavy bass, and emotive vocals, typically from lesser-known American soul artists of the 1960s and early 1970s. The score complements the film's energetic dance scenes and enhances the emotional depth of the story, connecting the audience to the era and the soulful experience that the characters live through. Both the CD and Vinyl editions of the soundtrack are becoming harder to obtain.
