Released in 2004 by Vampisoul Records, PACHUCO SOUL is a two-record set of 30 tracks culled from the archives of the Rampart & Gordo label.

The tracks are a mix of garage, rock, soul and funk. A collection of vintage East LA grooves.
The compact disc version, also released in 2004 has already been reviewed on my blog.

The killer tracks here that make it worth the hunt are the Salas Brothers "One Like Mine", the Majestics "(I Love Her So Much) It Hurts Me" & Willie G's "Brown Baby"

Also included are some certified rarities like Sarah James & The Soul Babies "Takin' Care Of Business" and Sammy lee & The Summits "Hey Joe"

VINYL CLASSICS - THE GIRLS NAME LABEL OLDIES LPS

After discovering Rock & Roll in the late 1950's, I began listening to the radio every evening doing my home work and then again as i would fall asleep with my transistor by my side in bed.

I spun the dial a lot especially late at night the Mighty 1090, XERB, XPRS, KRLA, KHJ, KFWB, KDAY, KRLD, KALI, KGFJ and on.

I remember hearing Wolfman Jack and Huggy Boy on the various stations doing radio promos for a set of oldies albums you could order through the mail. A collection of over 80 of your favorites.

From 1967-1969 I was a disc jockey on the college radio station KELA, Huskie Radio, the voice of East Los Angeles College. In need of some tune for my oldies show I ordered a set.

To my surprise they did not come with album jackets but came in white paper sleeves. Not knowing it at the time this was my first encounter with "bootlegs"

Over the years I have seen this same set of oldies pressed on different labels in record stores, The saet I have used girls names on the record label.

I can't even guess how many of these were sold by mail by various record stations but I am sure they are getting scarce.
