  • Description

    A 60 track survey of the seedier side to music with the likes of Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone and many others singing of the joys and the perils of drinking alcohol. The likes of The Ink Spots, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway and more follow a similar path but their specialist subject is drugs. Disc three contains 20 tracks of an even saucier nature that should definitely not be listened to by minors (as with discs one and two).
