3.0
Informative but dry.
This book is very factual and descriptive, lots of clubs names and DJ names with some biographical anecdotes added in it. You can basically have a great summary of this book if you just take notes as a simple list of the club names and the records/labels that were played at them. It is very bullet-pointy really; but I wish it had less name droppings about male personalities and drugs, and was telling more about the Northern Soul culture itself.
