V/A Wackies Sampler Vol. 1
Wackies
Thanks to the Basic Channel/Rhythm & Sound folks
and Wackies, these rare 12" tunes are now available
for the first time on CD and will find a warm welcome
from fans of the 60's and 70's Black Ark era production
style. The Wackies shop and label was set up in New
York by Lloyd Barnes in 1977 and featured such stellar
talent as Max Romeo, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Jackie
Mitto and many others, many of whom are featured on
this essential collection. While many may be far more
familiar with the Studio One material of this era and
the highly respected re-issues of Blood & Fire out
of the UK, the Wackies material simply cannot be overlooked.
The rhythms, studio tricks, and gritty emotion that
comes through on almost all of the material has made
a major impact on almost every genre of music and the
subtle perfection of this sound has been untouchable
since. This is the start of what is sure to be an amazing
series. -JH
