Southside Story Limited Edition Platinum Vol 1

You know how it works by now. The G MAN comes up with these Big Ideas: "Let's involve La Raza to come up with suggestions of tunes for a new oldies series. I have to get out of the cold into my heated bedroom so I can look at some comics and watch TV - maybe you and Rose can do the work. Call me when it's finished and I'll say thank you to all the contributors and they'll think I'm a swell guy." So here we are - but I'm not quite as dumb as the G Man assumes I am. I've grabbed posting rights and I'm the one saying the big GRACIAS to the listeners for all their fine suggestions ! It's a hard job making the selections; getting the balance right between great but known songs and lesser known gems. I know that, for myself, any tune that I don't already have goes right to the top of the list if it's got the right tempo and sentiment for the mix. Some tunes may be excluded because they're a bit fast-paced for this kind of series. Others are sweet but appear on some common commercial or bootleg compilations and so are too well known already. But we can't write a justification for every single selection - ultimately "the decisions of the judges are FINAL !!!" So apologies to anyone who feels they missed out - we can only say "Keep Trying !". Sister DustyRose, of course, has impeccable taste and an ear for a good tune. So hopefully the ultimate picking and choosing will meet with your approval. There was such a great response that we will continue with further volumes of the series. Any of the final comments on Volume 1 will be carried forward for consideration next time. It's been great fun checking on the comments to see what pearls have come up in the day to day suggestions. There are label scans in the package, so now it's time to sit back and enjoy ! Don't turn up the volume too loud; you might wake up the G Man from his Velvet Dreamz and maybe he'll have some more BIG IDEAS .... oh no, let's get out of here, Rose....   RB
