GROOVE

Sherlock #1000
Barcode: None

Review first published: 20.01.2002

Twenty-five rare tracks from RCA Records subsidiary Groove Records.

Super Rockers, Jumpers & Jivers mixed with some great Ballads & Latin Beats.

Very few of these recordings have made it to any other CD that I am aware of.

Here is a chance to hear these long forgotten recordings. Maybe, for some of you, you will be hearing them for the first time. In any event, I am sure you will find these Groove Records recording very, very enjoyable.

Let’s see what we have here!
