CLUB SOUL GIVE FIRST EVER VINYL PRESSING TO NORTHERN SOUL CLASSIC
The Ringleaders were a 4-piece vocal group from Saginaw, Michigan.
They signed to M-Pac! Records in 1966 as The Perfectos but changed to The Ringleaders ahead of their debut release
‘Let’s Start Over’, a gorgeous teen ballad that was a local hit at the time. It failed to chart nationally but later won the
hearts of the UK Northern Soul scene for it’s up tempo flip side ‘Baby, What Has Happened To Our Love’ which remains
a popular dance floor record today.
Despite the modest success of the disc, The Ringleaders failed to release a follow-up, although they had several other
tremendous recordings in the can, some of which have surfaced over the years on studio acetates.
Here, for the very first time, Club Soul proudly present 'I’d Like To Win You Over', a stunning finger clicking dancer
recorded at the same session as 'Baby!' and available in pristine 'Superior Sound'. This 7-inch, the official vinyl reissue
on replica m-pac! label, has the first ever vinyl release of the all time Northern Soul Classic 'I’d Like To Win You Over',
with new-to-vinyl coupling, and is cut pure analogue from the original master tapes.
Welcome to the club. The place to meet THE faces, hear THE tunes and read THE stories behind the 'Sound Of Soul' in
the UK. And that’s our manifesto here at Club Soul. To trace the evolution of the rare soul scene in the UK through
Britain’s clubland. A scene that would become known as Northern Soul, a scene fuelled on rare Black American 45s, a
scene fuelled on one-upmanship. A working class scene of solidarity that came of age in the North of England in the
seventies capturing the heart and soul of the Nation’s youth seduced by its secret world of all-night dancing.
