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.

Chicano Sweet Soundz - Blind Over You

This one gets posted because of a conversation I had on the phone with "Smoker".
He didn't have it so I shot it his way. As long as I had to go through the motions I figured why not post it in case some of the familia missed it when it came out. It comes at ya from the original cd with front, back, & cd scans. Please enjoy if it's new to ya!
