This isn't what we think of as Northern Soul-that area of mainly black music which copied Motown and Stax. Its known in Belgium as Popcorn and is just another idea from Goldmine Supplies. And virtually all the music made by Motown was descended from doowop. In the States this was Uptown Soul and took its cue in the beginning from the Drifters.
Which is why so many of these groups are from their era and if they say this is Northern Soul the you could add most of the Drifters' output even their 70s stuff.
When this collections starts with the 5 Royales' Standing in the shadows you think its about to become Under the Boardwalk! This group is probably the oldest here.
There's a group called the Elgins who came before the more famous ones and as soon as their success began on Motown their fate was sealed-there was no room for 2 Elgins.
Another earlier group of genuine doowoppers were the Willows heard here with a slowed down version of the Drifters' song Such a night
The Sevilles' Charlena sounds like the Coasters even to the King Curtis sax break.
Other known names here are the G-Clefs,the Dubs and Pookie Hudson the latter being the guy who sang lead for the Spaniels and had a top 100 chart entry with Miracles and a couple of blue eyed doowoppers in the Crests and Vito & the Salutations. (Northern Soul Monthly)

ABC PARAMOUNT - The Northern Soul Story, Vol. 1 @256
http://www50.zippyshare.com/v/72488836/file.html
The first major label formed following the birth of rock & roll, New York City-based ABC Paramount was founded in 1955 as a subsidiary of the American Broadcasting Company and Paramount Theaters. Probably best known as the home of teen pop like Paul Anka's "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," Danny & the Juniors' "At the Hop," and the Poni-Tails' "Born Too Late" as well as easy listening pop by the likes of Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, and Ferrante & Teicher. ABC Paramount's stature as an R&B factory has long gone under-recognized: Lloyd Price recorded the classics "Stagger Lee" and "Personality" there, and Ray Charles cut "Hit the Road, Jack." During the mid-to late-'60s, ABC Paramount attempted to ride the coattails of Motown, Atlantic, and Stax by moving into soul, forging a dynamic sound typified by bold arrangements and up-tempo melodies. Few of those records made any commercial impact on their original release, but they would prove tailor-made for resurrection via Britain's Northern Soul club culture. The first volume in Maple St.'s ABC Paramount: The Northern Soul Story series compiles 22 of the label's greatest-should-have-been-hits -- there's nothing here that's truly revelatory or flat-out mind-boggling, but it's a solid and well-assembled overview of a label that's been strangely marginalized over the passing years. Highlights include Jean Wells' "Don't Come Running to Me," Nolan Porter's "Oh Baby," Buddy Lamp's "Promised Land" and Tony Middleton's "You Spoiled My Reputation."
