The
Catacombs Temple Street, Wolverhampton 1968-74 The Original Sound Of Northern
Soul, Popcorn And R&B 'The sounds hit you like a ton of dynamite and stayed
with you. You remembered what you heard at The Cats. We took what had gone
before, what was happening now, and set the template for what was to follow at
The Torch, Wigan and beyond, and it's still following today! Basil, (aka Paul
Grainger, former Catacombs DJ) The Catacombs club in Wolverhampton was one of
the UK's premier rare soul clubs. An upstairs venue, housed in an old lead
smelting works, what it lacked in glamour it more than made up for in influence
and during the late sixties and early seventies The Cats was responsible for
introducing many future Northern Soul anthems to the UK. This new compilation
collects some of the classic tracks that would have been played at the time.
The 28 tracks include gems from Bobby Womack, Gene Chandler, P.P. Arnold and
more.
