Various Northern Soul - All-Dayer (LP, 180g Vinyl)

(Charly) 14 tracks
180g vinyl LP pressing. The All-Dayer has been a part of the Northern soul scene since the early 70s. It was born at a time when rare club soul was moving away from its Detroit roots and experimenting with a new beat, which merged at the legendary Manchester Ritz.

The Ritz ruled as the most progressive all-day club in the country, attracting the best DJs, including its founder Neil Rushton, Richard Searling, Colin Curtis and Ian Levine.
Curtis and Levine had wholeheartedly welcomed and defined the modern soul movement in the Highland Room in Blackpool Mecca.
They brought their own unique blend of music and their loyal following to the Ritz.
Searling pursued an equally offensive music policy, but continued to mix it with the best of his discoveries from the North, which drew the casino faithfully to the Ritz.
The result was a melting pot of the best of the underground soul scene that attracted a wider, younger audience, led to a national interest in soul all-dayers and eventually heralded the rave era.

All 14 All-Dayer tracks on this newly curated compilation were remastered from analog tapes and original vinyl.
