If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Numero Group ditch their signature design aesthetic for this special release; “a bootleg you can be proud of” (because it’s all licensed). Compiled in the tradition of southwest San Antonio, Texas bootleg lowrider comps (super collectable these days) featuring 12 Chicago soul rarities which were previously released in miniscule 45 private press runs and mostly unavailable outside of Chicago (the south side, that is), or not at all. Limited edition tri-color vinyl, recommended.
