Stuart Cosgrove has been a well-known collector on the scene for decades, and here he takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey to the heart of this secret society: the iconic clubs – The Twisted Wheel, The Torch, Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca, the infamous bootleggers, and the DJs and crate-digging collectors who voyaged to America to unearth rare sounds.\n\nThe book sweeps across fifty years of social and cultural history, taking in the rise of amphetamine culture, the brutal policing of the youth scene, the north–south divide, the rise of Thatcherism and the miners' strike, and concludes with a picture of northern soul today: as popular now as it was in its 1970s heyday.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrom a lifelong collector who has lived the northern soul scene for decades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSweeps across fifty years from the Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino to the present day\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA compelling account of amphetamine culture, rare records and a north-south divide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRead another celebrated title from Polygon - an imprint of Birlinn Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Reviews --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Sheer poetry... it truly is a personal history, but it weaves its way through our own history as well.'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003esoul-source.co.uk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'A thoughtful and impassioned memoir, complete with sociopolitical analysis.'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHerald\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nStuart Cosgrove originally from Perth, was a fanzine writer on the northern soul scene before joining the black music paper Echoes, as a staff writer.
