‘Club Soul Volume 1 – The Scene Club’ to be released on Charly Records on 8th April



This Charly compilation album focusing  on ‘The Scene Club -  Ham Yard, London 1963-66’, with the sub-title of ‘The Original Sound Of Northern Soul, Popcorn and R&B’ will set you back £10.99 when it is released on 8th April.

The Charly web site says, “The Scene Club was red hot, the hottest little club in London… and in 1963 London was the centre of the world - even if the rest of the world didn’t know it quite yet.' Norman Jopling (Record Mirror)

The Scene club was in Ham Yard, off Great Windmill Street, in Soho, central London. It had previously been a jazz club, but by 1963 it had become a revered Mod venue, playing soul, R&B, blues, ska and rock'n'roll records to a sharply dressed crowd.

This new compilation collects some of the classic tracks that would have been played at the time. The 28 tracks include gems from Betty Everett, Ike and Tina Turner, Jimmy Reed, Billy Preston, The Upsetters and more.”
