VA - Popcorn Story Vol. 2 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

Popcorn (sometimes Belgian popcorn or oldies popcorn) is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970's and 1980's. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of pop-soul music made between the late 1950's and mid 1960's, often relatively obscure, and characterized by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The style has been described by musician and writer Bob Stanley as "possibly the last truly underground music scene in Europe."  According to Stanley, "the purity of Belgian Popcorn is its very impurity. R&B, Broadway numbers, tangos, Phil Spector-esque girl groups and loungey instrumentals, they are all constituent parts of a rare, and still largely undiscovered scene." By the 1990' s, the Popcorn dance scene retained a core of aficionados even outside Belgium, having a level of recognition in venues and specialist clubs in Britain, Germany, and the US, with at least 30 compilations of American R&B and pop music in the Belgian Popcorn style being re-issued in Europe. (Wikipedia)

The name popcorn comes from Dancing The Popcorn in Vrasene, near St. Niklaas in Belgium. Other famous clubs in the early days were De Viertap, The Golden Gate, The Groove, The Versailles etc. Today there is a revival of the genre mainly in Belgium where the weekly parties attract the original scene with a new generation of Popcorn music lovers. Also in France, Holland and mostly in England Popcorn as a genre is becoming more and more popular but it remains a true Belgian phenomenon. Although the music differs from Northern Soul in tempo and style, the collectors of both genres have similar taste in certain styles of music. This style includes a pretty eclectic and wide range of American R&B and pop songs mostly recorded in the 1950's and mid-1960's in a slow or medium tempo and often in a minor key.

This is part 2 of a 2-volume series of Popcorn gems. Volume 2 has 63 tracks and will delight all fans of popcorn music.  Enjoy.
