The second volume of the The Weekend Starts Here series deals exclusively with the popcorn genre. Popcorn is a style of music and dancing first established in Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s. The style includes a wide variety of mostly American and British recordings of R&B and pop music made between the late 1950s and mid-1960s, often relatively obscure, and characterized by a slow or medium, rather than fast, tempo. The popcorn music scene first developed from dances held at the groove discotheque in Ostend, where mid-tempo soul and ska music played by DJ Freddy Cousaert became popular in the late 1960s. In September 1969, a café, de Oude Hoeve, opened in a converted farm barn at Vrasene near Antwerp, and began holding dance competitions on Sunday afternoons. Soon up to 3,000 people began attending each week, dancing in a "slow swing" style. de Oude Hoeve was later renamed popcorn and the special genre has it's name. Later on, the DJs messed up a perfectly fine recipe by adding all kinds of pop tunes as long as the tempo was right. This 10" however features 12 pure popcorn groovers from the "golden era". Features Ann Cole, Jack Costanzo, Milton Trenier, Ray Smith, Nappy Brown, Danny Rivers, Johnny Copeland, Al Perkins & Betty Bibbs, Eugene Jefferson, Chuck Bowers, Clarence Daniels, and Lew Conetta. Edition of 500.
