The Twisted Wheel in Manchester is one of the legendary names in British
clubbing history. Originally launched in a coffee bar in 1963 it quickly
developed a reputation as one of the country's finest venues for
hearing obscure, imported soul, R&B and ska records. Music fans
would flock from all around the country to the weekly all-nighters to
hear these records along with live sets from some of the finest soul
artists of the time. The term 'Northern Soul' was in fact first coined
by the journalist Dave Godin following a visit to the Twisted Wheel to
describe the distinctive brand of music played there. This new
compilation collects some of the classic tracks that would have been
played at the time.
