Following the successful response of the last wave of releases that included BAD BRAINS, BAYSIDE and COMEBACK KID, the label will be pressing SILVERSTEIN's newest LP, "Arrivals & Departures", and DARKEST HOUR's latest effort, "Deliver Us", on colored wax.

The other three releases include a reissue of the 2002 breakthrough debut from TAKING BACK SUNDAY, "Tell All Your Friends", as well as a new pressing of BLOOD FOR BLOOD's classic "Revenge On Society".

The Northern Soul Story Vol 1 - The Twisted Wheel
The Northern Soul Story Vol 2 - The Golden Torch
The Northern Soul Story Vol 3 - Blackpool Mecca
The Northern Soul Story Vol 4 - Wigan Casino

The Northern Soul phenomenon was one of the biggest
musical movements of the 1970s in the UK. At its height
thousands of party people would descend on the clubs
and venues of the scene every weekend for all-night parties,
driven by high octane soul music. The four volumes of
this series trace the history of the scene via four of
the greatest clubs on the circuit, and in the course of
this, they present the most definitive, best researched
and most authoritatively annotated survey of Northern Soul
ever released on CD in the UK. Each album comes with a
12 page full colour booklet featuring in depth liner notes,
photos and full discographical information.
These compilations are essential listening for any fan of
soul music and are an important document of one of the
most essential musical movements the UK has ever produced.
