The All-Nighter has been an integral part of “the scene” since the
phrase Northern Soul first came into popular use following the now
legendary Blues & Soul article entitled “The Up-North Soul Groove”
in June 1970 by journalist Dave Godin (issue no.36). During the heyday
of the Northern Soul scene the ‘All-Nighter’ was the preferred format
for the travelling soul fan. It separated the scene’s top venues from
the hundreds of regional soul nights in pubs, clubs and community halls
across the land. The All-Nighter was the ultimate experience and the
only place to hear the best, the rarest and the breaking sounds spun by
the leading DJ’s. It was born in Manchester’s Twisted Wheel in September
1963, found its feet (its dancing feet) at the Golden Torch in
Stoke-on-Trent from 1970-72, and truly came of age at the Wigan Casino
Soul Club from ‘73 onwards establishing itself as the premier National
and even International event of the 70’s.
All 16 ‘All-Nighter’ tracks on this newly curated compilation have been
remastered from analogue tapes and original vinyl. It is pressed to
audiophile heavyweight 180g vinyl housed in a single sleeve complete
with new liner notes and cover photography from Brian Cannon.
‘All-Nighter’ joins the All-Dayer in a growing catalogue of premium
music on the Club Soul imprint - including crossover hits compilation
Shades of Soul, and newly compiled LP’s that celebrate the clubs of the
original Northern Soul Scene - The Scene Club, The Twisted Wheel, Wigan
Casino Soul Club, Catacombs and the forthcoming The Golden Torch.
