The Twisted Wheel club is still doing soul nights. Not that long ago though (a few years back) I'm almost certain it was a gay bar?
Are you referring to CD's, or vinyl in central Manchester?
If it's CD's, they're everywhere.
If you mean vinyl, then Beatin' Rhythm on Tibb St. takes some beating. Well worth a visit.
There was an effort to make British Northern Soul as I'm sure you know...see Wigan's Chosen Few and Skiing in the Snow. Bad mistake IMO.

Ian Levine had some of the original artists re-record their songs with mixed results. Interesting to see though. He may even have been involved with one or two bands in an attempt to recreate it...not entirely sure.
