Our very own Deano Sounds and DJ Andy Smith have teamed up together to put out a great compilation or R&B Rockers, Rockabilly, Northern Soul, and Sleazy Shakers much like you would find at Andy’s Jam Up Twist club night in the UK. There will be a CD version and a special 7 x 45 box set with Jam Up Twist goodies in it coming out as well. The CD will be out in April with the limited edition 45 box set coming out in June.
