Milton Henry
's handful of classic sides -- like his version of "Gypsy Woman," or "Cornbread and Butter" or "This World" and "Follow Fashion" over the
Upsetter
's fever rhythm (under the artist name
King Medious
) -- made him a natural Wackies' recruit when he relocated from Jamaica to New York City in the late '70s. Soon after, he was fully involved in the day-to-day business of the operation, supervising sales and promotion, making deliveries, even holding spare keys to the studio for whenever
Bullwackies
himself was away. He appears in this activist role on the front-sleeve photograph, just up White Plains Road from the Bronx HQ: by its title, though, and first and last songs, this album also hints heavily at the past musical accomplishments of its mystery hero. The record was released first in London, in 1984, during the first months of Wackies Dean Street office, in north Soho. The band is basically
Itopia
.
Sly Dunbar
gets a credit -- though neither he nor
Robbie Shakespeare
ever set foot in the studio: as if in acknowledgment for this rhythm, is "No Dreams."
Jackie Mittoo
and
Bagga
are 'pon the corner, from Studio One;
Jerry Johnson
and
Neville Anderson
are on brass; also
Sugar
and
Max Romeo
; and
Sonia
from the
Love Joys
performs a duet. "No Dreams" is the true story of Milton sleeping in the attic above the studio when the rough drum and bass track came onto the desk, waking him, pulling him to the mic; "Them A Devil" is aimed at certain producers passing off the singer's property as their own; "Good Old Days" was written for a poor
Junior Byles
, remembering times shared.
