    Z Records’ 'Under The Influence' series gives a musical platform to record collectors that may be unknown to the general public but are hardcore enthusiasts who have built some of the best collections of soul, funk and disco; this time selected by a London-based DJ, dancer and record collector, Alena Arpels.

    Originally pressed on vinyl in very small quantities, these 19 records were issued between 1970 to 1983. Many of the tracks included in this compilation were never commercially released, but given away by the artists to family and friends instead. Killer selection!
