Richard Andrew Llandudno.
The track listings cover the entire spectrum of Ian levine as a collector, DJ, and Producer. Love him or hate him, he can still fully perform in all these roles. Hour 2 contained 3 brand new I.L. tracks, as well as the infamous Four Vandals & Venicia Wilson.

Barrie, Henley

Shaun from Salford, Manchester
The best thing I've hear on the radio in ages! Is this programme going to be a one off from Ian Levine or is there going to be more

Malc Burton ( Doncaster , England )
I simply must extend my sincere thanks to Ian Levine for two hours of highly pleasurable music. His credible selection of records in the first hour,harked back to the halcyon and creative days of Blackpool Mecca, whilst the second hour confirmed and underlined the talent the man has as a producer and writer . 10/10

Ian Johnson, Cheltenham Spa
Ive listened to the show on the iplayer this evening--two hours flew by! I love The Exciters and Barbara Pennington anyway, but to hear the full 2 hr show was great! Thanks, Ian.

David Preiser Tacoma, Washington

Nolan Milligan /Kensal Green London
Great evening of Northern Soul. More please.

Mike/Manchester
What a great programme - please tell me there's more to come? I heard some rare stuff I never thought I'd hear again!

Simon Harris, Waltham Abbey, Essex
What a fantastic show, it was wonderful to hear these classic and rare tracks and presented by somebody who knows what they are talking about. Please give Ian Levine his own show!

Martin Wedge - Wolverhampton.
This was a very good programme presented by a man who has been in the business for many years and has so much knowledge. There is no outlet on mainstream radio for this music, and it was such a thrill to hear it on 6Music. I hope that you would consider asking Ian to do a regular programme of Northern Soul.

Steve / Hammersmith
Two hours of total enjoyment.Ian Levine is a legend. Please PLEASE make this a regular show.

Simon, Melbourne, Australia
Great show and from a master of the genre. A wonderful selection. There is no one, absolutely no one, who is producing music such as this today, except for Ian Levine. We should all be very grateful.
