Artist:	LITTLE ANNIE
Title:	Soul Possession
Label:	SOUTHERN (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SOUTH 281572CD

"Annie's debut, now remastered & reissued, is the album that clearly maps her transmogrification from Crass cohort & poet/agitator to dub diva. It's an unsettling master stroke created in a landscape nearly devoid of female role models. A harsh, disarming rhythmic landscape is splattered with grim & grisly poetry as Annie literally finds her voice & tells tales of violently unsuccessful love affairs, automatic mishaps, & brutal modern existence. Backed by members of CRASS, African Head Charge, Flux of Pink Indians & London Underground, it's a musical stew of punk, blues, dub & electronics which was way ahead of its time."

Title:	Jackamo
Label:	SOUTHERN (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SOUTH 281582CD

"Jackamo (originally released in 1987 under the Annie Anxiety Bandez moniker) took just over 3 years to create. In that time she had become a fully patched member of the On-U Sound crew. Jackamo is the result of Annie gravitating towards her earliest musical influences - Garland, Sinatra, Lenya, Piaf, & of her collaboration with On-U's other feminine force, Kishi Yamamoto. Musical shapes were created by Yamamoto, Tackhead's Doug Wimbish, & African Head Charge's Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Jackamo is the sound of the haunted dancehall - dub groove & Caligari cabaret, matched with Annie's brutal & gorgeous lyrical seppuku."

Title:	Short And Sweet
Label:	SOUTHERN (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SOUTH 281592CD

"The real truth is that Short & Sweet was not Annie's 3rd album, it was her 4th. Snapped up by the major ATCO after the critical acclaim surrounding Jackamo, Annie spent a lot of cash & a lot of time creating her masterwork, & then the label collapsed, burying said album in a grave of legal limbo. Annie did what all smart girls do: divorced her husband, fired her manager, & went back into the studio. Along with her faithful Tackhead compadres she set about crafting a pop album; one which demanded that the musical form rise to her high standards, rather than watering down her own creative force to a lower common denominator. Annie is vocally wearing her most comfortable shoes ever on this album, & her lyrics draw from a rich source of anger, betrayal & realism that come from surviving a failed record deal & a failed marriage. A true tour de force."

Artist:	IGNORANT, STEVE
Title:	The Rest Is Propaganda
Label:	SOUTHERN (UK)
Format:	Book
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SOUTH 28165BK

"It was 1977, and Stephen Williams and Jeremy Ratter shared a common thread: their dissatisfaction with the life that society was offering them. Steve had recently been infected with punk rock at a Clash gig and Jeremy had a drum kit. Together, they formed Crass. Over the next 7 years, Crass would stencil its name in indelible paint across the face of British culture. This is not, however, the story of that band. Rather, it is the story of a young boy who grew up on the streets of Dagenham, wearing Tuf shoes and holey jumpers, being railroaded to a life on the factory floor. This is the story of a lad who learned about life on the terraces of Upton Park, in the pubs and clubs of East London, behind the counter of Wallis's supermarket and why he left that all behind. It is the story of how Stephen Williams became Steve Ignorant and what he did after." 344 pages; softbound.
