Back in 1975, Maxine Nightingale became an overnight sensation in the UK when her latest single, ‘Right Back Where We Started From’, stormed into the Top 10. Thereafter, the track’s catchy appeal spread like wildfire across the globe, topping the charts in Canada and the US and was a massive hit in most other countries.“Right Back Where We Started From” reflected a style of UK pop/soul, inspired by the Northern Soul scene in the North of England and revival of that classic 60s Motown sound. This 3-CD collection, the last to be released on legendary reissue label RPM, takes that classic hit as the catalyst to document a decade’s worth of British pop and soul from female singers.Deluxe 48 page booklet with fully detailed biographical notes about each artist from noted “female pop” expert Ian Chapman and design from Michael Robson.
