"THE TWISTED WHEEL STORY"

26 vintage all nighter classics.Based upon the beat-heavy Motown soul hits from Detroit, songs defined as 'Northern Soul' were often subject to limited release in America and rarely national hits. They arrived in the UK on import and were usually on imprints like Okeh, Bell and Roulette. Labels taking Motown and Stax Records as starting points, but smaller and infinitely hipper.
The records were snapped up by young DJ's with their ears to the ground. They spun the discs at all-night sessions in happening clubs such as Manchester's Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino in the north of England. Their initial audience was made up of young Mods who disliked the coming of Psychedelic Rock and stuck to a staple diet of driving, African-American Soul.
