from NEW - Low-rider Oldies

PKSD-003BLK - Oralia b/w Believe Me - Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers - OG BLK WAX

Johnny Ruiz and The Escapers from the City of Sin, first debuted in 2020 with a record titled "Stay" which bore two versions, a Rocksteady version and a Sweet Soul version, capturing a following from both Rocksteady and Chicano Soul collectors.

Their follow up, a Rocksteady/Ska record titled "Shame on Love" fell into obscurity after a certain label crept into the shadows due to controversy.

Now signed to Parkside Records from their hometown of Las Vegas, Johnny Ruiz and The Escapers come back with a Bang! A Chicano Soul uptempo banger that has already got collectors and fans alike on the edge of their seats catching the attention of Daptone Records who signed a distribution deal with the label just days before the Pre-Order drops.

Johnny Ruiz wrote “Oralia” in the grips of pain and loss. When a young man’s in love, sometimes it’s hard to let go. The dream of what “could have been” and the good memories that seem to mask the bad ones. Knowing you’re to blame but without the ability to accept it. Asking her to stick around when you know she shouldn’t. “I can’t believe the time would come when I would watch you leave!” Sometimes the only medicine are these rolas!

Johnny Ruiz's falsetto and harmonies put you in a trance while the Escaper’s horns and rhythm section got you on the dance floor with your elbows up!

This rola is sure to be a classic! And selling at a dime sack price!
