‘NORTHERN SOUL: THE FILM SOUNDTRACK’
14 x 7” Vinyl Box Set + 60-page hardbound photographic book edited by Film director Elaine Constantine
Soundtrack to youth culture film of the year 2014
Item extremely rare and hard to find – RRP £120
The story of Northern Soul is one of total immersion, dedication and devotion.Finding its heart in the north of England in the late 1960s, the music of 1960s-70s black American soul singers combined with distinctive dance styles where devotees pushed their bodies, their finances and sometimes their minds to brutal and unforgiving extremes. Based around all night, alcohol-free club nights, arranged by the fans themselves, the plain concept of the 'night out'was elevated to sacramental dimensions and it set the blueprint for future club culture.
With 7” vinyl at the epicentre of the Northern Soul scene and original records still establishing world-record prices in collecting circles, in 2014, Harmless Records released a collector’s 7” vinyl edition of the film soundtrack.
All tracks from the film soundtrack have been exclusively licensed including one bonus track for 14 x 7” discs in full pic-sleeves featuring key scenes from the film, together with a specially commissioned 60-page hardback book of film stills edited and re-touched by film director and photographer Elaine Constantine herself.
Housed in a solid collector’s box, these 14 discs present 28 of the greatest Northern Soul classics of all-time, many of which are making their legal UK release for the very first time including Lou Pride, Gwen Owens, Freddy Chavez, The LutherIngram Orchestra, Eddie Parker, The Salvadors and Sam Dees.
Please note, although the item is listed as “Used”, the vinyl has never been opened or played. Boxset does not come in original cellophane packaging
Very minor “scuffing” to corners of box but contents as new.
