Dean Chalkley's Good For The Soul celebrates the joy of dancing to northern soul. This fast-paced stylised short film plugs right into the emotional and cathartic nature of the music. Intricate and expressive dance moves are delivered by Durassie Kiangangu to a soundtrack of blistering rhythms and raw vocals from Tobi Lark's rare soul track 'True True Love'. The resulting combination is a fusion of dextrous dance moves and potent sounds that will turn your heartbeat up. The film was originally presented at "50 Years On The Soul Stays Strong" exhibition, that marked the 50th anniversary of the first legendary Wigan Casino Allnighters in 1973. Northern soul has a rich legacy and it's devotees are very passionate about it, but this film focuses on the here and now, the energy, heat and wonder of being in your own dancing world. The northern soul scene continues to attract devotees young and old all keeping the faith and letting the music move them. 'True True Love' was released as the first Kent Select single in 2006 and original copies sell for £300 plus - if you can find one. Ace are delighted to re-issue 'True True Love' on vinyl paired with an unreleased instrumental version by the Dave & Darrell Band.
