Description
THE ORIGINAL SOUND OF NORTHERN SOUL, POPCORN AND R&B. EXPANDED EDITION WITH 28 TRACKS NEWLY REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES & RARE VINYL.
"In 1978 America's Billboard Magazine voted Wigan Casino the World's Best Disco. Over 4 million soul fans passed through the Casino doors, it really was a wonderful time." Russ Winstanley
The most famous Northern Soul venue in the world! With an unrivaled club membership of 100,000 at its height, few can claim to have the same popularity or influence as the mighty Wigan Casino. The venue became a Mecca for fans of rare, imported soul records, with a passionate, dedicated fanbase. No-one could have predicted the club's enormity and impact on Northern Soul.
Newly remastered and presented in digipack packaging completed by an 8-page booklet featuring Club Soul sleeve notes, this mid-price CD gathers classic tracks that were played at the Wigan Casino from 1973-1981 featuring additional songs not on the LP edition (CHARLYL190). Featuring a host of legendary artists including The Ringleaders, Skull Snaps, The Jerms, Ohio Players, Blanch Carter, The Inspirations, The Young Savages, Little Richie, Maurice Williams, Ron Holden, The Combinations, The C.O.D.'s and more.
'Wigan Casino Soul Club' joins a growing catalogue of premium music on Club Soul - including the 16-track crossover and modern soul LP Shades of Soul, feel-good Soul Shack release Time & Place and the rest of the newly compiled records that celebrate the clubs of the original Northern Soul Scene - The Scene Club, The Twisted Wheel, Catacombs and The Golden Torch.
