A debatable one. In 1975 Spark issued a handful of records with the words 'NORTHERN SOUL' overprinted under the label name; they seem to form a discete collection, so I've decided to allow them a separate page on this site. Catalogue numbers were taken from Spark's main SRL-1000 series. Unsurprisingly the records were aimed at the Northern Soul market; the majority of them made it into the Charts, though only 'Skiing In The Snow' by Wigan's Ovation (SRL-1122; ) cracked the Top 20. Subsequent singles in the same genre by the same artists lacked the overprint, as did some pressings of the final two singles listed below - presumably the ones without the overprint were later pressings.
