Not strictly mod, but there should be interest in these Northern Soul All-Dayer and All-Nighter vinyl releases.

They are part of Charly’s Club Soul strand of releases, which are generally pretty decent albums. The content changes, but the series tends to focus on rare and classic soul, often with a club-specific theme. Not so here.

These two albums, both pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, look at two different sides of the northern soul coin, the all-dayer and the all-nighter.

Let’s start with the first one, which is based around the music of the all-dayer event, but is also closely aligned with the all-dayers at the Manchester Ritz, described as the country’s ‘most forward-thinking’ event, mixing classic northern with some more modern soul grooves that appealed to younger club-goers.

The other album – the All-Nighter – celebrates the ‘after dark’ club scene that took you through to daylight, starting at Manchester’s Twisted Wheel in September 1963, then later at the Golden Torch in Stoke-on-Trent from 1970-72, and of course at the Wigan Casino Soul Club from ’73 onwards.

All 16 All-Dayer tracks on both compilations have been remastered from analogue tapes and original vinyl, with new liner notes and cover photography completing the package.

Both track listings are below and if you want either, both are available to pre-order now ahead of the 26th July 2019 release date. The All-Dayer is £17.95 and the All-Nighter is £19.99.
