Top Notch Oldies


For a number of years now our crew, past & present, it's contributors or familia if you will, have been producing it's famous compilations. The modest production of a few in the beginning has grown to a multitude of our homemade flavor
that continues to bring you all some of the best in soul. In this package of fine tracks you will continue to enjoy the same traditional sounds you have become accustomed to.

That's our commitment from our family to yours. A Top Notch ride deservedly requires a Top Notch cover & G Man has come through once again. Notice part of the Enchanted
Garden in the background...lol !!!
My Windy-City is again represented well with tracks 5, 12, 15, 17, & 19.
Please enjoy ! 
Mello Capone
