Soho Continental / Various Soho Continental / Various CD

On Bob Stanley's label, here is an exotic 2016 collection of rarities that evoked the heart of Bohemian London in the µ50s and µ60s. The coffee bars, the trattorias, the ouzo, Ricard and whatever Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud's tipple might be in the Colony Room. It's a delicious and unique blend of sounds from France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Turkey, all mixed up in a cocktail shaker at Abbey Road. Most tracks available for the first time on CD.
