Title:	Feel Good All Over
Label:	EARMARK (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	EAR 43021LP

"When in 1990 Horace Andy was asked by the Bristol based musical collective Massive Attack to join them on their album, Blue Lines, it signaled renewed interest by the general public in the career of one of the most distinctive voices in reggae music, who had started in the 60s with Studio One as one of Coxsone's best discoveries. Feel Good All Over is a double LP set that features a selection of his work together with Bunny 'Striker' Lee and shows how at ease he is with both social oriented protest tunes and warm love songs. An ultimate collection of hard to find singles and extended play versions, many of them together for the first time on vinyl."

Title:	Tribute to Bob Marley
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WACK 088EP

New release. This reissue combines two 12"s. "Tribute To Bob Marley" was originally released on the Top Ranking International label in 1981, soon after the Wailer's death in May, and provided an outstanding cut on Horace Andy's exclusive album set issued the following year in London by Solid Groove. The flip side featured Jah Batta's DJ cut "Great Super Star," uncredited on the original label. This release includes a totally original mix of "Lingering Spirit," originally issued in 1983 on the Bullwackies label, coupled with Horace's compelling interpretation of "Love Hangover."

Title:	Exclusively
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WACK 107CD

Released in 2005. Appearing originally on the Solid Groove label out of Croydon in South London, Exclusively is sometimes misconstrued as the UK issue of Dance Hall Style. The tracks from both were recorded at the same sessions -- with Bullwackie joined at the controls by Junior Delahaye and Prince Douglas, and issued close together in 1982-83, Croydon first. Half of Exclusively non-exclusively versions four tracks from the Stateside release, and three are re-titled. Also "Eating Mess," which appeared on the first pressing of Dance Hall Style, though unlisted on the sleeve. The mixes are all different (and without dubs). Five further specials include the funky "Musical Episode," a superior Bob Marley tribute, and a version of "Rougher Yet." It's all vintage Wackies, and spun out of Horace's all-time greatest album -- unmissable.

Title:	Dance Hall Style
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WACK 1383CD

"Throughout the illustrious thirty-year recording career of Horace Andy, with its innumerable highs, his unmistakable falsetto has lit up just three albums of indisputable greatness -- Skylarking, for Coxsone at Studio One; In The Light, for Everton DaSilva's Hungry Town label, in Queens, New York; and -- with the biggest original impact, by far the most contemporary of the trio - Dance Hall Style, for Bullwackies in the Bronx. Recorded at the turn of the seventies, Dance Hall Style reworks songs first recorded by Bunny Lee ('Money Money') and Derek Harriott ('Lonely Woman') -- alongside a version of Lloyd Robinson's 'Cuss Cuss' -- and births classics like 'Spying Glass' (later covered by Massive Attack). The musicians include Wackies regulars like Owen Stewart and Oral Cooke from Itopia, Ras Menilik and Jah T.; also Horace's multi-instrumentalist spar Myrie Dread from the Hungry Town sessions. At the desk, Lloyd Barnes, Junior Delahaye and Douglas Levy coax unequalled vocal performances from Horace Andy, showcased in ineffable extended mixes."

Title:	Horace Andy Meets Naggo Morris
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	10"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WACK 1722EP

"Horace Andy and Naggo Morris are all artists from the front rank of reggae whose work for the legendary Wackie's label without question includes their very best. The music is classical and original -- full of awe, in a kind of dread development of the Bullwackies lovers rock sound -- with inimitable and glorious dubs throughout. This 1983 release revived by Rhythm & Sound present the singer showcase-style, in mostly devotional mood. Wackie's sound is characterized by pervasive echo and deep bass: the atmosphere is luminous and unique. All tracks are heavy collectors items -- this vinyl and another forthcoming 10" called Jarrett, Wayne - Mini Showcase are separate reissued in their original 10" format."

Title:	Serious Thing
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WACK 280EP

New release. "The Bullwackies cut of Horace Andy's 'Serious Thing' eclipses on all sides the classic Bunny Lee version of five or so years earlier -- Horace like an angel over a stepping roots arrangement, with the horns on side A imparting extra gravitas, and the majestic Wackies production extra effects on the flip. Originally released in 1981, in the company of Youthman, Sometime Girl, Rockfort Rock -- the horns versions in the UK on the Infradig label, the guitar versions (side AA of this reissue) in the US on a white label stamped with the Wackies insignia -- another Lloyd Barnes killer, dead seriously."

Title:	Money Money
Label:	WACKIE'S (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	WACK 5252EP

"On this classic 12Inch Horace Andy revisits a Bunny Lee favorite -- twin rhythm to the famous 'Cuss Cuss' -- in the opening track 'Money Money' of his wonderful 'Dance Hall Style' album for Bullwackies. This is the rougher extended mix, not available on the album: more snare, more reverb and effects, extra raw. Al Moodie's toast of the 'Money' rhythm on the B-side is carnivalesque JA travelogue, from Bull Bay to Rockfort to Harbour View, guaranteed to put a glide in your stride."
