Joe Axumite - Simple Little Woman / Home To Africa; Troubled Land
Wackies / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
¥2180 (US$20.28)
Three awesome Wackie's roots cuts from Joe Axumite, all previously available on compilation LP's, now together on one killer 10" EP. "Troubled Land" and "Simple Little Woman" were originally released on the "Black World" LP, while "Home to Africa" was originally on "Wackie's Selective Showcase Vol. 1" LP. Joe Axumite supposedly recorded an LP worth of material around this time, but an album never materialized due to some of the tapes being lost. What a shame!
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$18.42)
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.
Don Carlos - Prepare Jah Man / Version
Rawse / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1977
¥1180 (US$10.98)
First time on 45 for the other early Don Carlos thriller killer from the Wackie's/Joe Morgan/Soul Syndicate axis. Previously only released on the "Reckless Roots Rockers" compilation LP.
Jah Joe - Dreadlocks Song / Bullwackies All Stars - Dreadlocks Dub
Aires / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1975
¥1100 (US$10.23)
Deep mystical Wackie's production from Jah Joe (aka Joe Axumite) in chanting deejay mode, one of the best 45's on Aires.
Jah Tuff - Thriller In Manila / John Clarke - Wasn't It You
Senrab / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1975
¥1100 (US$10.23)
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.
Joe Morgan - Basement Session / Reckless Breed - Basement Scrub
Bullwackie / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1976
¥1100 (US$10.23)
Joe Morgan's "Basement Session" has the trademark Wackie's sound, deep and deeper. Its got great lyrics about the runnings of NYC basement sessions in the 1970's, a wicked dub to match, and a tough rhythm laid by the Reckless Breed band. Released on the "Bullwackie" label using the stock font and layout of one of NYC's long-shuttered pressing plants, according to Mr. Barnes this one was released "right before I got my logo."
Junior Peterkin, Idrins - Babylon Take I Down / Version
Idrins / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1977
¥1100 (US$10.23)
"Babylon Take I Down" by Junior Peterkin & The Idrins, a one-away label and a one-away artist (as far as we know!), this is one of the baddest and rarest tunes ever laid at Wackie's studio. Produced by Wackie's for release on the artist's own Idrins label, this has, on top of a cracking drum sound and a killer Wackie's mix, one of the all-time baddest organ sounds in reggae, stone classic tune.
KC White - Selasi I / Bullwackies All Stars - Dubwise
Senrab / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1976
¥1100 (US$10.23)
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
¥1100 (US$10.23)
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.
Wayne Jarrett - Come Let's Go / Jerry Johnson - Zion Rock
City Line / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1978
¥1100 (US$10.23)
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. 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.
Scion Success - Jah Is My Hero / Jug Head - Joyce Gone; Dub
Dub Irator / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1991/ 1986
¥2480 ¥2180 (US$20.28)
Scion Success' "Jah Is My Hero" was originally released in 1991 on a Jah Life 12" in New York, and is one of the ruffest digital roots tunes we've heard. On the flip side, from the mid 1980's, is "Joyce Gone" by Jug Head. Originally released during the mid 80's in NY on a Dub Irator 12", this is one of the heaviest songs of lost love, a slow and bottom heavy rhythm with great synths, followed by a hard dub cut. Please note, the Scion Success tune is vocal only, as on the original release.
