Fizzy Soul Cocktail
  • Artist: Various
  • Title: Fizzy Soul Cocktail
  • Label: Cheeky Monkey 001
  • Comments: An odd compilation from the 90's, this is probably a privately press rather than legitimate issue. Rumour has it that the compiler borrowed a number of rare records on the pretence of possibly buying them, then cut this LP from the records. It's an odd mix of soul and funk. The featured track is "The Czars - Tell Her With Your Eyes" on Key-loc.
