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.

The Tunes 

COLD Christmas Cuts

Somethin' for your holiday groove from DJ Mello.

Again, this one was done quite a number of years ago.

Label - Tray card by Mrs. Mello

CHEERS

The 12" Singles Collection (Vol.2)

Q-vo familia!
     What's an ol' gringo pushin' 70 know about any of this kind of stuff you say.
Well, here's volume two of the series LOL! Bringin' it to my brothers & sisters on the west coast to enjoy.

The Dance Floor

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.

Big shout out to Macabre for the "Cold & Firme" cover delivery!

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.
