SoulBoy is the stunning brand new soundtrack to the first ever film to be set to a Northern Soul background.
It's 1974 in Stoke on Trent. Britain is plagued by power cuts, strikes and boot-boy aggro on the football terraces. Joe McCain (Martin Compston) and best friend Russ Mountjoy (Alfie Allen) are bored of their mundane lives going nowhere. Enter hair-dresser Jane (Nicola Burley), blonde, brassy, and moving to a different beat and sound. She introduces Joe to the concept of all-nighters at the infamous Wigan Casino and an exotic underworld of drugs, sex and soul music. Joe becomes immersed in the Northern soul scene feeling as though he has finally found somewhere he belongs. Swept along on this tide of pulsating dance and lust, Joe becomes embroiled in the darker side of soul scene that will put his friendship to the test and force him to choose between his heart and his soul.
This fantastic film, set to be the British film of the summer, is supported by a brilliant soundtrack crammed with 50 red-hot Northern Soul anthems that screams 'Get Up And Dance'. Featured on this 2 disc set is an exclusive Northern Soul cover of 'On A Magic Carpet Ride' recorded by Gabriella Cilmi, which also appears in the film.
Also included are all the superb tunes that pulsate throughout the film from the likes of Al Wilson, Gloria Jones, Dean Parrish, Yvonne Baker, The Detroit Spinners plus many more. The great music doesn't stop there, with a bonus mix tape disc compiled by the lead character Joe McCain, with more powerful cuts that celebrate this unique scene.
SoulBoy authentically captures the magic of the Wigan Casino and Northern Soul era, while the soundtrack gives a wonderful insight into the glorious music that shaped the world's first underground music scene. The booklet introduction is by SoulBoy director Shimmy Marcus. Above all, the soundtrack not only provides a scintillating accompaniment to the film but also works as an essential album in its own right.
