Import-only compilation that focuses on Tom Wenzel's legendary California-based Downey Records label. Many tracks from the Downey vaults do not fit any handy genre, so we felt it was time to bring these together with some of the bigger hits creating a comprehensive overview. Here is the first ever recording and solo outing of Barry White under the name Lee Barry. The track that has done so well over the years on the Northern scene, 'Do It' by Pat Powdrill makes a welcome appearance away from the Kent label. The same goes for Carl Burnett's 'Jerk Baby Jerk'. Ace Records.
