DKR 039EP
|
"DKR has left no stone unturned in the search for the forgotten by many, revered by some, and seldom or never heard tunes of the past, which for one reason or another, were never released, sold only on dubplate, or never played again after being committed to tape. And in turning over so many stones, we've managed to find some gold, and have dug up some things previously thought lost. So begins the Channel 1 Lost & Found series, unreleased material from 29 Maxfield Avenue, straight from master tapes. We're kicking off this series with two monster releases. First, from the man called Horace Andy. After producing some tunes with Horace in the 1970s, Channel One went back to work with Horace in the early 1980s, releasing a fantastic showdown LP featuring Horace and Patrick Andy, via Sonic Sounds' Thunderbolt label. But in addition to those tunes, another grip of equally great tunes was also made which didn't end up on the album, and here's two of the best. 'Why Oh Why' made the rounds on dubplate at the time, the riddim is heavy like lead, and you might recognize it from other released cuts. 'Satisfy Me' has Horace riding the same riddim as Barry Brown's 'Over Me,' to equally great effect. Both tracks are followed by dubs. "

WACK 107CD
|
Released in 2005. Appearing originally on the Solid Groove label out of Croydon in South London, Exclusively is sometimes misconstrued as the UK issue of Dance Hall Style. The tracks from both were recorded at the same sessions -- with Bullwackie joined at the controls by Junior Delahaye and Prince Douglas, and issued close together in 1982-83, Croydon first. Half of Exclusively non-exclusively versions four tracks from the Stateside release, and three are re-titled. Also "Eating Mess," which appeared on the first pressing of Dance Hall Style, though unlisted on the sleeve. The mixes are all different (and without dubs). Five further specials include the funky "Musical Episode," a superior Bob Marley tribute, and a version of "Rougher Yet." It's all vintage Wackies, and spun out of Horace's all-time greatest album -- unmissable.

WACK 280EP
|
New release. "The Bullwackies cut of Horace Andy's 'Serious Thing' eclipses on all sides the classic Bunny Lee version of five or so years earlier -- Horace like an angel over a stepping roots arrangement, with the horns on side A imparting extra gravitas, and the majestic Wackies production extra effects on the flip. Originally released in 1981, in the company of Youthman, Sometime Girl, Rockfort Rock -- the horns versions in the UK on the Infradig label, the guitar versions (side AA of this reissue) in the US on a white label stamped with the Wackies insignia -- another Lloyd Barnes killer, dead seriously."

WACK 088EP
|
New release. This reissue combines two 12"s. "Tribute To Bob Marley" was originally released on the Top Ranking International label in 1981, soon after the Wailer's death in May, and provided an outstanding cut on Horace Andy's exclusive album set issued the following year in London by Solid Groove. The flip side featured Jah Batta's DJ cut "Great Super Star," uncredited on the original label. This release includes a totally original mix of "Lingering Spirit," originally issued in 1983 on the Bullwackies label, coupled with Horace's compelling interpretation of "Love Hangover."

WACK 1383CD
|
"Throughout the illustrious thirty-year recording career of Horace Andy, with its innumerable highs, his unmistakable falsetto has lit up just three albums of indisputable greatness -- Skylarking, for Coxsone at Studio One; In The Light, for Everton DaSilva's Hungry Town label, in Queens, New York; and -- with the biggest original impact, by far the most contemporary of the trio - Dance Hall Style, for Bullwackies in the Bronx. Recorded at the turn of the seventies, Dance Hall Style reworks songs first recorded by Bunny Lee ('Money Money') and Derek Harriott ('Lonely Woman') -- alongside a version of Lloyd Robinson's 'Cuss Cuss' -- and births classics like 'Spying Glass' (later covered by Massive Attack). The musicians include Wackies regulars like Owen Stewart and Oral Cooke from Itopia, Ras Menilik and Jah T.; also Horace's multi-instrumentalist spar Myrie Dread from the Hungry Town sessions. At the desk, Lloyd Barnes, Junior Delahaye and Douglas Levy coax unequalled vocal performances from Horace Andy, showcased in ineffable extended mixes."

WACK 5252EP
|
"On this classic 12Inch Horace Andy revisits a Bunny Lee favorite -- twin rhythm to the famous 'Cuss Cuss' -- in the opening track 'Money Money' of his wonderful 'Dance Hall Style' album for Bullwackies. This is the rougher extended mix, not available on the album: more snare, more reverb and effects, extra raw. Al Moodie's toast of the 'Money' rhythm on the B-side is carnivalesque JA travelogue, from Bull Bay to Rockfort to Harbour View, guaranteed to put a glide in your stride."
