Any DJ fancy dropping a hand-grenade onto the dancefloor, next time out?

Stand back, prepare yourself for an attention seeking bass-line surge to enter your space. In a wave of snarling vocals and screeching Sax, Art Wheeler spears his voice forward, into an insane swamp of belligerent attitude. Passion dripping from every note! Taking on a "Line & Track" persona.. a style that absolutely crammed the Northern Soul dancefloors for the last ten years.

This 45 is much-rarer than "Line And Track" and only sneaked out on Ebay because the "wrong" side was listed and sound-filed.."The Rub" is a wild R&B shaker but lacks the seamless Northern Soul pulses to become a dancefloor force.
On the other hand "CHARLENA" certainly does. Wicked Saxophone antics, unforgiving Bass guitar, out of control vocals full of angst and conviction.

Our opinion this rarity, Art's least seen of his 10 45 releases, all elusive, all obscure and all benefiting from his boundless energy and grit.

Take a listen, you have to be deaf or a "Queen" fan not to instantly recognize it's potential at a packed NS all-nighter.

From June 1965, this snarler ticks all the boxes of Northern Soul, R&B & MOD just like "Aquamen" did. Again the perfect cocktail of Garage, Soul & insanity!

This is the only copy we've ever listed, rarity is assure, just need a high profile DJ's support for another "out-of-the-ordinary" NS Monster to be born..

How do you review an album that offers more great Northern Soul dance tracks recorded by a group. Than any other I can think of..

This LP is chock full of Northern Soul delights.. all 11 tracks, uplifting dancers that range from utterly brilliant to merely outstandingly inspiring..

A 10 man gathering from Charlotte, North Carolina. This album gives up the captivating rich vocals of Hazel Martin, supported by strong but seamless harmonies and a barrage of brass so subtly delivered . Guided by the wealth of the 10 man team, who's combined qualifications of this class of 1967 could offer, lyricist talents, arranging and creating their own sound. With the influences of the "Carolina" Sound all around them, they produce the most perfect examples of Carolina Northern Soul ever crafted.

Most every track is a showstopper, we've sound-filed an example of their songs, that validate this platter as a top 5 of all time Northern Soul LP.

So image owning it as the coveted WHITE PROMO STEREO copy.

So now listen to 7 of the 11 tracks we squeezed into the file - resist ownership if you can ..
