Hot on
the heels of ‘Club Soul Volume 1 – The Scene Club’ (actually, released at the
same time) comes volume 2 in the series, this time focused on the sounds of
Manchester’s Twisted Wheel. The official blurb says: -
“The
Twisted Wheel in Manchester is one of the legendary names in British clubbing
history. Originally born in coffee bar in the city's Brazennose Street in 1963,
before later moving to a converted warehouse on Whitworth Street, it quickly
developed a reputation as one of the country's finest venues for hearing
obscure, imported soul, R&B and ska records. Music fans would flock from
all around the country to the weekly all-nighters to hear live sets from some
of the finest soul artists of the time. The term 'Northern Soul' was first
coined by the journalist Dave Godin following a visit to the Twisted Wheel to
describe the distinctive brand of music played there which couldn't be found in
London clubs at the time. This new compilation collects some of the classic
tracks that would have been played at the time. The 28 tracks include gems from
Little Richard, Bo Didley, Benny Spellman, Ernie K Doe, Solomon Burke, Gene
Chandler, Betty Everett, The Dells, Fats Domino and more.”
