It's probably not a mistake. The key word there is "northern soul" and that is a genre that is very popular especially in Europe and the UK. Search it on eBay and you will see tons of 45 rpm's that you have never heard of selling for hundreds of dollars! I say you won't recognize them but I should say, I don't recognize them. I consider my music knowledge pretty comprehensive, but northern soul escapes me. There is a book that is the "bible" of northern soul collectors and "IF" you can find a copy it sells for over $100.
