Reminder To All

A quick reminder to all, since I keep getting requests, I DO NOT post any links for downloads! I do not care for trading files with anyone. I don't care to have MP3 files as it sacrifices sound quality. Nothing posted here is for sale much less to be given away for free. No "hook up" copies will be provided to you. Save your time and mine and don't ask! If you want to continue to get treated to rare soul compilations then buy legit copies. This is the only way we can support those who have incredible vinyl collections and motivate them to continue to put them out on CD to share with the rest of us.

* NEW * Lynwood Soul 3

An absolute must have for the sweet soul fan. This volume is packed with rare, high dollar sweet soul that you just won't find anywhere else. Contained here are the A & B sides of a killer 45 by The Tridels that alone will set you back over $1,000. A few repeats but the new to CD's tracks are among the rarest you can find. Every song is straight from vinyl so there will be some sound quality variations. Highlights by Los Invasores (a little taste of Panamanian soul at it's finest), Kitty And Her Kats, The Emanons and Little Ty And Soul Suspension.

Dore L.A. Soul Sides 2

"I Want You" by Dee Torres made this a must have for me. Other notable tracks are all repeats, "My Pillow" by The Darlings, "As I Sit Here" by The Whispers and "I Wanna Chance" by The Vows. Always top notch sound quality and liner notes from the kind folks at Ace Records.

The One-Derful! Collection: M-Pac! Records

I waited on picking this one up until I could spot for a good price. The only track worth mentioning for the lowrider crowd is "Let's Start Over" by The Ringleaders which is available on other compilations. You will not miss much passing this one up.

Fuhrman The Vermin

The price was just too low to ignore and pass up. The good tracks are all repeats, "A Million Miles To Paradise" He's An Aries Man" and "When They Ask About You".
