• This is the first ever Northern Soul compilation devoted to the Wigan Casino’s iconic “oldies” room — Mr M’s – featuring 100% oldies chosen by the original resident DJs. • Includes a bonus disc featuring an exclusive interview with original Wigan Casino and Mr M’s DJ Dave Evison, capturing the spirit of Mr M’s with personal memories of the place, the era and the music. • Also boasts a 36-page booklet tracing the history of the club, the DJs and the tracks played, packed with photographs and rare memorabilia. • Features the first and last records ever played at the venue: respectively, ‘Hey Sah-Lo-Nay’ by Mickey Lee Lane and ‘The Night’ by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. • Includes 50 classic Northern soul sounds by some of the greatest names on record as well as new-to-CD and rarely seen tracks such as ‘Country Road’ by High Voltage, ‘Everybody Dance Now’ by Little Caesar & The Empire, ‘Poor Dog’ by Little Richard, ‘Green Door’ by Wynder K. Frog, the original GM Records U.S. version of ‘Compared To What’ by Mr. Floods Party and the popular UK-only single ‘Game Players’ by Dooley Silverspoon (direct from the master tapes for the first time). • Mr M’s became an engine room churning out vinyl memories, week in, week out, as the perfect warm-up venue for the main Wigan Casino next door. • Curated by the team behind the Joe Boy and Outta Sight labels.

Another great Northern Compilation
There are dozens of Northern Soul compilations currently available. This one focuses on the music played at the famous Mr M's nightclub situated within the world famous Wigan Casino. 3 discs- 2 of mainly great Northern classics (also has one or two clunkers in my opinion). Disc 3 contains a recording of a radio show broadcast featuring the Northern DJ Dave Evison who was a regular at Mr M's and who compiled this set. Great stuff!

Outstanding
This is an outstanding compilation. I have purchased many Northern Soul compilation albums in the last year or two and most contain a few decent tracks and the rest rubbish but this one is the real McCoy and if you are only to buy one then this is it. Highly recommended

Great Compilation
I was there from the start. This is the music of the time and the place put together by people who were actually there. Well done Dave Evison for the effort you’ve put into this compilation It evokes memory’s of people and Sunday morning adventures.
