Outta Sight

Outta Sight is a UK based label that was originally launched in January 2007 as a Castle Music imprint, part of Sanctuary Records Group Ltd. It is now independently controlled and has become a limited company with Glenn Gunton and Tim Brown as directors. Although the limited company appears to have dissolved in 2015, Outta Sight continues to deliver a monthly collection of rare soul on vinyl and CD.

The label's Vinyl Series includes three different categories: OSV (Outta Sight Northern Soul), RSV (Outta Sight Rhythm & Soul), and MSV (Outta Sight Modern Soul). Each category has its own release schedule, with three 7-inch singles per month for OSV and RSV, and three per quarter for MSV. Every package is carefully compiled and packaged with the utmost reverence for this important archive.

With its innovative approach and collectable series, Outta Sight has established itself as a go-to destination for soul music enthusiasts looking for unique vinyl releases. Whether you're into Northern Soul, Rhythm & Soul, or Modern Soul, Outta Sight offers an impressive selection that will satisfy any collector's cravings.

From its opening in 1963 until its final emotive all-nighter, starring US soul legend Edwin Starr in January 1971, the Twisted Wheel played host to almost every major British R&amp;B act and the very best that the U.S.A. had to offer. Steeped in black American music it is no surprise that it became the crucible of Northern Soul setting the template for all-night gatherings across the north of England. Pictured to the left of our cover - sporting his trademark turban - is Screaming Jay Hawkins arriving at London airport with his wife Ginny for his debut visit to the U.K. on 26th January, 1965. There to meet and greet Hawkins was resident Twisted Wheel DJ Roger Eagle, a huge fan of the charismatic performer. Hawkins’ million-selling, I Put A Spell On You (side 1, track 8), had been recorded almost a decade earlier and released on the iconic Chicago based OKeh Records, a label very much on Eagle’s radar for its slue of cult Blues and R&amp;B artists. Also featured on the cover, bottom right, is the California soul duo Bob and Earl who appeared at the Whitworth Street Wheel in May of ’69 performing their original hit Harlem Shuffle (side 2, track 7). Earl (Nelson) also appears here as Jackie Lee with his 1965 hit The Duck (side 1, track 2).
