VARIOUS ARTISTS Mr Ms Northern Soul

LP Vinyl

The nighters at Wigan Casino initially ran from 2am-8am every Saturday night/Sunday morning. From midnight onwards, crowds would gather outside and spill over onto the road blocking the local traffic. As attendances grew the crowds became a problem, particularly to the local constabulary, and on the eve of the Casinos 1st Anniversary with a genuine threat of closure looming a momentous decision was made. Gerry Marshall, the Casinos owner, somewhat reluctantly decided to open the clubs adjoining cabaret lounge, known as Mr Ms (named after the man himself). That night Northern Soul history was made. It was the start of an era, the birth of the club within a club and, as it proved to be, a temple to fans of Northern Soul oldies. Eventually at 3am the black double doors which separated Mr Ms from the upstairs balcony of the main ballroom burst open, and a sea of soulies hit the dancefloor for the very first time to the banging sound of Hey Sah-Lo-Ney by Mickey Lee Lane, spun by DJ Alan Cain and featured here in all of its remastered glory (side 1, trk 1). Such was the incredible response to that first night in Mr Ms in 1974 that a petition did the rounds gaining over a thousand signatures demanding that it should continue every week! What had intended to be an emergency one-off event had unintentionally ended up being the longest, most popular temporary oldies venue EVER! Ms, as it was more affectionately known, soon became the No.1 oldies venue in the 70s. It was unashamedly 100% oldies and 100mph dance tunes!!! It was like an engine room churning out vinyl memories week in, week out and the atmosphere and sounds are captured here!
