Big Bad Bay Area Vol. 1 [coll] – [Latin Soul Recordings]

A collection of obscure soul music recordings from the San Francisco and Oakland Bay Area artists and labels that were featured on popular soul and funk stations KDIA in Oakland and KSOL in San Francisco. No earthshaking discoveries here, but solid vocals and instrumentals make the most of some rather “eccentric” material.

KDIA was once owned by Oakland mayor Elihu Harris and CA Assembly Speaker Willy Brown.

PGM: Some very short logos from KDIA and KSOL might be fun to play on KFJC breaks.
