This week we start with some Northern Soul stompers, dip into some popcorn and midtempo steppers, head to the garage, then finish big with some greasy R&B movers.

You'll hear Sam the Sham's girl group backup singers out at the front of the stage, a couple of Willie Dixon compositions, a favorite train song, a group called The Virginia Wolves with a fine double-sider including some delicious Rhythm and Blues Food Nonsense, some wild men on the Hunch label, and more!
