Tokers Oldies Vol. 4 (Take 2)

Qvo Cali Lifestyles,
It's funny how a series can have two different versions of the same album, in all due respect brownboy's and up in smoke's tracks on there album are a lot sweetier than this ones. But for those who don't like holes in there collections here is another volume four, but i think Up In Smoke's & BrownBoy's is a spin off this set (Backseat Memories). Who knows, all i know is I'm loving that album. I hope you all enjoy this one or at least get it to complete your set.

  1. Tear It Down - Blue Magic
  2. A Lonely Man - The Chilites
  3. You Can Do Me Some Good - The Classmates
  4. Going In Circles - The Friends Of Distinction
  5. The Ghetto - Donny Hathaway
  6. Now You Got Me Loving You - The Dramatics
  7. So I Can Love You - The Emotions
  8. Silly Love Song - The Enchantments
  9. I Love You Madly - The Fantastic Four
  10. Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps
  11. Nothing But Heartaches - The Flirtations
  12. Bernadette - The Four Tops
  13. Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Freddy Fender

Smooth Slow & Easy Soul Gems



This is an OOP pressing from 2000 that I had posted on the original TVD blog. I'm posting it again on Cali Lifestyles in case anyone here from those days lost it or if any new members here would like to add this rare piece to their collection.
A note of interest; Track 18 is incorrect in the name of the group, it's actually "The 5 Stepping Stars" on the J.C.D.T. record label. After this cd was released that track continued to show up in other comps with the incorrect artists name. I would suspect that this cd is where they got it from. Also, track 19 appeared the year prior on Lost Chicano Oldies Vol. 2 as "Wait Till I Find Her" by the Fabulos Filtrations. I believe this to be correct. A request will be needed for the password.
