For as big as this record has been on the northern soul scene since the beginning (note this is a UK issue from 1974 released to meet the demand since the original is close to impossible to find) there is surprisingly little (downright no) info on this group that I have been able to find.
I am hoping someone reading may be able to fill in SOME blanks...To my ears, sounds like it might be a west coast/ L.A record but that's just a guess.
This would be an amazing record even if it were only the intro!
from 1966...

at northern nights, everybody exclaims the 'whoo' with the backing singers.
Hi, According to the UK's Northern Soul Top 500 book the Vel-vets are from LA and were a trio. It was recorded in 1967 and the original label was 20th Century Records. Great record too. Regards Dave.
The group video is on The Strange World Of Northern Soul dvd. I did find a copy in S.F. for a few dollars, just love it.
amazing record. wish i could getone for my collection
