Made in the UK."KING NEW BREED" is a meticulously curated CD compilation that shines a spotlight on the explosive, dancefloor-ready side of the Northern Soul and R&B spectrum. Focused on high-energy, stomping mid-60s sounds, this collection is aimed squarely at soul aficionados who crave raw vocals, tight rhythm sections and that unmistakable club feel. Rather than a random assortment of tracks, the selection follows a clear stylistic line: driving beats, punchy brass, and emotional, urgent performances that made these sides favourites on all-nighter playlists and collector turntables. Many titles are rare or hard to find in their original form, presented here with carefully remastered sound that preserves the grit and excitement of the original 45s while offering improved clarity for modern listening.
The concept behind "KING NEW BREED" is to capture the moment when R&B evolved toward a more modern soul sound: fast tempos built for dancing, call-and-response hooks, and arrangements that bridge the gap between raw club R&B and what would soon become classic Northern Soul. The CD is ideal both for dedicated collectors who want a coherent, danceable set and for newcomers eager to discover why this particular strain of R&B still fills dancefloors worldwide. Detailed and knowledgeable liner notes (typical for this label) contextualise the tracks, highlighting labels, scenes and DJs that helped keep this sound alive, making the disc as informative as it is enjoyable.
