    The second volume in Symphonical's ESSENTIAL 'The Key To Our Love' series! A collection of utterly obscure and rare, super-sweet low-rider/gangster/chicano soul gems - don't miss!

    "The album comprises of musicians who shared their hope & dreams through independent vinyl releases. The obscurity of these privately pressed singles limited their audience; originally released in small quantities and sold locally, the artists remained largely unknown but created some of the most poignant and timeless tracks."
