Visions Of John Clarke
was a little thrown together for its original release in 1979. Still, its sleeve carried a ringing endorsement from Bullwackies himself "President of the
John Clarke
Fan Club" -- and the album attracted the interest of Studio 1 boss
Coxsone Dodd
, whose bid for distribution-rights was thwarted when the Brooklyn label Makossa quickly put in for a full license. Released soon afterwards, the new version -- entitled
Rootsy Reggae
-- duplicated five tracks from the previous version, but with markedly different mixes, fresh edits, and some additional new instrumentation. This CD presents both albums complete with the original track order. The singer -- not to be confused with
Johnny Clark
-- had been running with the Wackies operation for the past six years, ever since moving from Jamaica to New York. He'd cut memorable sevens with co-founder
Munchie Jackson
for the Tafari label -- like "In Search of The Human Race and Recession" -- and also worked with
Lloyd Barnes
for such Bullwackies imprints as Versatile and Wackies. Several are included within these two albums, with another layer of modification: for example, on "Wasn't It You"
Lloyd Barnes
and
Prince Douglas
lend new treatment to the old track with drier dub. They also added guitar to the "Jumbo Caribbean Disco" 12", while on "Pollution" they removed the horns from the Wackies 7" (though generally
Baba Leslie
is in full effect here). The tracklisting rounds out with a
Johnny Osbourne
cover; several
New Breed
jams, featuring the likes of
Jah Scotty
,
Clive Hunt
,
Harold Sylvester
,
Jah Hitler
,
Jerry Johnson
, the
Love Joys
, even
Mickey Mouse
makes an appearance. On a handful of remapped rhythms, Clarke takes the mic from brethren like
Joe Auxumite
,
K.C. White
and
Wayne Jarrett
.
