WACK 153EP

"This 12" came originally in 1981 in fine underground style with white or blue Wackies labels, with and without information stamped on. The A differs from the album cut; the dub is right up there with Bullwackies' 'Anybody's Best'."

WACK 709EP

"Recorded in the late seventies, originally released in 1983, the A is irresistible, bubbling sufferers'. As fluently as seventies Curtis it combines rapture and engagement, soul and sophistication -- with scatting, jazzy stylings by Roland Alphonso and guitarist Barry Vincent, and a drum-machine still fresh as a crisp biscuit. 'Mystic Revelation' in all its glory appears likewise in both the original tape and the 1983 12" versions."

"Showcase by Junior Delahaye is the fourth installment of Rhythm & Sound's Wackie's reissue programme. Originally released as LP in 1982 and reissued in its original sleeve artwork last year this album recasts Philadelphia-style sweet soul within the shimmering, bass-heavy textures of classic Wackie's dub. The music is spine-chilling: Junior's singing ranges expertly from sophisticated tenor to delicate falsetto, and his declarations of exalted love are at one with the mystical space of the Wackie's sound. Showcase includes interpretations of Billy Stewart's 'Sitting In The Park' and Fuzz's Sigma-recorded 1971 smash 'I Love You For All Seasons', alongside the Reggae evergreen 'Travelling Man'; together with three fabulous Delahaye originals. Like the 'Lovers Rock' release, the album features such Wackie's stalwarts as Jerry Harris, Jah T and Roland Alphonso -- Jamaican-born Junior Delahaye remains co-engineer; and of course Lloyd 'Bullwackie' Barnes is the producer."
