V.A. Soul Street

180G VINYL!AN ECLECTIC BLEND OF 14 HARD-EDGED NORTHERN SOUL CUTS FROM THE FUNKY SIDE OF THE STREET!FEATURES SUPER-RARE CUTS FROM RICKY ALLEN, WILLIE WEST, AARON NEVILLE, PLUS "UNRELEASED-AT-THE-TIME" TRACKS BY JOSEPHINE TAYLOR AND ALVIN CASH!It's time to pass the hatchet instead of the talc, and trade in the spin-and-slide for the hook-and-sling and work that dancefloor! Club Soul are proud to present a fresh compilation of 14 hard-edged, kitchen-sink rhythms that demand dance floor attention! Here we showcase the funky side of Northern Soul which has captured the imagination of our soul brothers and sisters across Europe and a growing number of progressive clubs in the U.K. Our eclectic blend borrows its name from title track "Soul Street" by Ricky Allen; a super-rare cut written and produced by Mel London and originally released to no acclaim on his Chicago based Tam-boo label circa 1968. Allen is joined by familiar faces such as southern soulsters Alder Ray Black & Eddie Bo, our hit artists Betty Harris, Tina Turner & Aaron Neville, compilation debut Lenny McDaniel and unreleased at the time tracks from Josephine Taylor & Alvin Cash. This new 180gm heavyweight audiophile vinyl Soul Street compilation is presented in a single sleeve with new artwork. Soul Street joins a growing catalogue of premium music on Charly Records imprint Club Soul - including the 12-track up-front, eclectic, super-rare, funky-edged and feel-good dancefloor soul LP Time & Place in conjunction with Soul Shack DJs, and newly compiled records that celebrate the clubs of the original Northern Soul Scene - The Scene Club, The Twisted Wheel, Wigan Casino Soul Club, Catacombs and The Golden Torch.
