VA - Southside Riders Volume 3
Throwbacks 17-11-2017 By 2xDope
By far the most enjoyable volume in the entire saga, in my opinion. When compared to other installments, this sounded the most well put together and most polished in terms of production quality. The album art was my favorite among the 7 volumes, worthy of being framed. I hold this album to a high standard and am very fond it... Read more
