Intoxica! Strange and Sleazy Instrumental Sounds From The Socal Suburbs

at last ace records start to exploit the large, quirky and fascinating downey records catalogue. this is the first in a series presenting the downey output by genre. the first compilation out of the gate is an instrumental collection, but not a surf compilation. this collection features instrumentals from the young bands from the california beach communities and as far east as las vegas, cabaret acts from the lounges of lake tahoe and palm springs; mixed in with some great r&b names who used downey's studio and cut some fine instrumental of their own. it includes the revels, the rumblers, ed burkey, the hustlers, the blazers, chuck higgins and more.
