Description: * Kent's first ever all-instrumental collection brings together some of the most popular "wordless wonders" to have livened up Northern Soul dance floors in the past 40+ years.

* From the pioneering Twisted Wheel and Blackpool Mecca/Torch eras, the instrumental has been as integral a part of Northern Soul as has its vocal counterpart. "Double Cookin'" embraces the whole spectrum of the Northern Dance instrumental, from early and seemingly unlikely floor-fillers by the likes of Hugo Montenegro and Bill Black's Combo to more orthodox Northern perennials such as `Thumb A Ride', `California Montage' and `Stirrin' Up Some Soul' - all first massive when instrumentals were at their peak of Northern Soul popularity (1972-75).

* As well as featuring numerous proven crowd-pleasers, the CD features a handful of instrumental versions of long-time vocal favourites that were created especially for - and are mostly exclusive to - "Double Cookin'".

* Also included are new stereo versions, taken from original master tapes, of several tracks that were first refashioned as instrumentals in the mid-70s by Simon Soussan and released variously as "Arthur Wright and his Orchestra", "The Fred Smith Orchestra" and so on.

* The debate as to whether or not an instrumental can have soul has raged on the scene for decades. They are always inspirational: there's no doubt that instro devotees will have a field day with the contents of "Double Cookin'".
