Various Artists - Northern Soul Story Vol.1: The Twisted Wheel

Music On Vinyl presents the first installment in this delightful series of four Northern Soul compilations. The Northern Soul phenomenon was one of the biggest musical movements of the '70s in the UK. At its height, thousands of party people would descend on the clubs and venues of the scene every weekend for all-night parties, driven by high octane Soul music from the previous decade up to the present day. The four volumes of this series trace the history of the scene via four of the greatest clubs on the circuit (The Twisted Wheel, Golden Torch, Blackpool Mecca and Wigan Casino). This volume features rare dance floor fillers from the likes of Lou Johnson, James Carr, Lee Dorsey, James and Bobby Purify, Al Green and many others.
