Joe Axumite - No Equal Rights In Babylon / Version
City Line / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
¥1180 (US$7.79)
A long time in the making, part one of a new series of reissues produced by the great Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes. So many Wackie's productions are long among our personal favorites, and some helped introduce us to the wonderful world of Jamaican music. We'll be issuing many now hard to find singles as well as some previously LP-only tracks and other surprises! Our first selection of singles all appear, of course, on their original labels. Joe Axumite's tune is one we've long wanted to present, awesome tune backed by an incredible dub featuring what sounds like infinite echo.
Wayne Jarrett - Come Let's Go / Jerry Johnson - Zion Rock

We'll be issuing many now hard to find singles as well as some previously LP-only tracks and other surprises! Our first selection of singles all appear, of course, on their original labels. Wayne Jarrett rose to notoriety with Wackie's, and this single is one of his all-time best, backed by a great horns version by Wackie's stalwart horns man Jerry Johnson.

Killer double sider from Wackie's, deejay and vocal cuts to a tuff murky rhythm. Jah Tuff deejays about the legendary Ali/Fraser bout, while John Clarke reminisces about an old friend.

KC White - Selasi I / Bullwackies All Stars - Dubwise
Senrab / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1976
¥1180 (US$7.79)
KC White's 'Selasi I', released on the Senrab label, is a cover version of Elijah's tune of the same name from a few years earlier, produced by Sir Collins (itself an adaptation of a religious standard). This is a great mellow roots tune with ringing piano and a spacy dub.

Leroy Sibbles - Now You're Gone / Version
Wackies / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1979
¥1480 (US$9.78)
Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones did a bunch of work with Wackie's over the years, including this rugged single from the end of the '70s, on Wackie's trademark eponymous 'lion' label. A slow and heavy Soul Syndicate rhythm, cut in Jamaica, and mixed and overdubbed with wicked synths at Wackie's studio.
Lutan Fyah; Jah Batta - Dem No Like Mi Address; Who Is The Almighty / Bullwackie - 225th St. Dubwise Style
Wackies / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 2014
¥1980 (US$13.08)
A milestone release, the first contemporary productions to be released by DKR! Bullwackie is still keeping the faith, recording and producing artists from his Bronx homebase studio. When we heard these awesome new roots productions in 2013, they blew us away. Calling to mind the best modern roots produced by Exterminator in the 1990's, we had to give these cuts a release. Recorded, voiced and mixed at Bullwackie's studio on White Plains Road. The A-side is a vocal cut by Lutan Fyah, followed by a deejay cut by Wackie's stable stalwart Jah Batta. The b-side is two different style dubs (one with horns!) from Bullwackie, still a virtuoso behind the mixing board.
