| Description: | 1ST EVER REISSUE OF CULT COLLECTORS ALBUM
FROM GRAMMY AWARD WINNER & SOUL MUSIC HERO
NEWLY REMASTERED FROM THE MASTER TAPES
FEATURING PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACK
To the pop buying public, Van Allen Clinton McCoy is known for his 1975 Grammy Award
chart-topper â??The Hustleâ??, after which he sadly died of a heart attack in 1979 at the age of
only 39. To rare soul fans, Van McCoy is a hero. The most prolific writer and producer of
Northern Soul of all time, working with a host of legendary artists including Kendra
Spotswood (aka Sandi Sheldon) with whom he had a five-year relationship.
â??Dancin' was originally released by Shelby Singleton in 1976 on his SSS International label,
although all of the ten original songs were recorded much earlier, circa 1968-69. With its
kitsch cover and out-of-kilter track list, copies soon filtered through to the UK and into the
hands of club DJs at Wigan Casino with perhaps â??Help Is On The Wayâ?? becoming the stand-
out track. Richard Searling played the mid-tempo â??Just Another Dress Rehearsalâ?? in the latter
days of the club while an unreleased instrumental version of â??Ainâ??t Got No Loveâ?? was played
post-Wigan from a studio acetate.
Charly Recordsâ?? Club Soul imprint are proud to present the first ever reissue of this cult
album, now complete with the aforementioned, previously unreleased instrumental. It is
presented on 180-gram audiophile vinyl with new sleeve notes.
â??Dancin' joins a growing catalogue of premium music on the Club Soul - including crossover
hits compilation â??Shades Of Soulâ?? and newly compiled albums that celebrate the clubs of the
original Northern Soul Scene: â??The Scene Clubâ??, â??The Twisted Wheelâ??, â??Wigan Casino Soul
Clubâ??, â??Catacombsâ?? and the forthcoming â??The Golden Torchâ??. - 180GR. |
