OLSKOOL 1


Christmas is over so it's time to get some tunes lined up for that party or to just chill to that night.
Here is a comp I recorded around 1999 with classic "hits" that went high on the charts after their release.
Obviously nothing new, but hope you like the sound.

Oldtimer Souldies Series No. 12 - Angeleno Action



Black Ice on the cover; caused the pensioners' bus to skid and break down, but the three veteranos managed to jump a freight car heading South-West to the City of Angels to catch up with Guy. We were like three old hobos, poor of pocket, but rich in great soulful tunes to lay before our East L.A. brother when we made it to Echo Park. But Guy wasn't totally happy - "The ladies of L.A. are FIRME!"  he said. "Where are your femme tracks?" But we stuck to our gangsta guns: "We don't even have a Whispers' song, never mind Ty Karim; we can't please everybody, there's just so much to choose from!" burst out BillyMac. "And anyway, she may not be Eleanor Green, but Cheryl Boyd is definitely a LADY, on lead for The Superbs!" countered RB. The Mello man, living up to his name and just as smooth in person as his jams are, got it all calmed down: "Just like previous comps, I'm sure the track list will meet with everyone's approval. It looks like we'll just have to re-visit all these soul cities!" Guy dropped in that Karen Small classic, so he was happy that he looked out for his hynas. And here we are now with our latest offering of tracks and artists associated with Los Angeles. It's been a great music year for us putting together this Oldtimer Souldies Series.

Marcia Griffiths - Carousel


Since Marcia Griffiths was posted earlier this month to fulfill a request, I thought I would drop this short set that includes her 1989 only charted hit (Electric Boogie) here in the "States". It was a very popular dance song that was better known as the "Electric Slide". Included you will also find  two cover versions of big hits at tracks three & seven.

Oldtimer Souldies Series No. 10 - Philly Flavors



The Veteranos have thrown away their zimmer frames and are struttin' their stuff once more! We're continuing our Soul Tour of U.S. cities, after our summer break, with the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. We define Philly Soul as tracks performed by an artist who was born in the city or recorded in the city. No shortage of candidates for Philly then, with its fabulous soul heritage! As usual, these are our favorite tracks so you'll find plenty of familiar sounds for a trip down nostalgia lane. But you may well find something a bit more unusual for your collection too. Since we're label guys anyway, we've included some extra info on each track this time round, since that's the kind of stuff we swap among ourselves anyway. That's the legendary 60's Philly DJ Sonny "The Mighty Burner" Hopson on the cover. And I can't help but question whether Sharon Paige ever sounded as sensual as she does on track #14 ?? This ol' veterano just drools over such music! Enjoy, and and let us know what you think so we can be stimulated for further exertions. RossyBoy for The Veteranos

Mello's Covered Classics


Q-vo!
Here's some extra tunes for the familia to check out over the long weekend.
As the title implies, these rolas are covers of previously recorded material.
I'm kickin' this set off with the Steelers remake of their original recording, it was given to me by  them before it was released. I'd be surprised if there weren't a few new one's for everybody on this set. So, sit back, relax....and enjoy the sounds.

Home Grown Chicago Souldiez Vol.3


We, Rose & I finally return with our annual "Home Grown Souldiez" series compilation.
This time though, we welcome our fellow Chicagoan "Chi-Town" for our third installment.
No new comer to the soul scene, he happens to host a Doo-Wop radio show covering the full gamut of Doo-Wop sounds. If you will, a Doo-Wop guru of sorts! Requests for the radio show links are welcomed.

Once again Rose has done all the heavy lifting & delivers in true "Gold Medal" fashion just like a true Olympian champion as usual. Ain't we lucky to have her around as part of the familia!

The three of us do hope you enjoy our comp & also pick up some new rolitas from our "Windy-City" connected presentation (All songs are in some way connected to Chicago). We do it for all our familia to enjoy right along with our love for your continued support.

We would like to hear what you think of our comp & then the link will be sent to you.

Gracias from the three of us!
DustyRose, Chi-Town & Mello
Thanks again to RossyBoy for fixing up another Chicago cover for us. Nice Job!!.

The 12" Singles Collection (Vol.1)




This was a bootleg recording that was not officially released by Prince or under any other legal authority.
This is volume one from a tin (five) cd box set released in 1994 in Australia. Professional-quality sound engineering & packaging was used to create this set. It was pulled off the market shortly thereafter by Prince's legal team making the original set highly collectable & ultra rare.

I recorded this from the original box set on professional recording equipment a few years later. This was prior to the introduction of consumer grade audio recorders in 1998 that allowed people to record their own compact discs.
