    Bullwackies All Stars

    Free For All

      Out originally on Bullwackies' Aires offshoot, in a plain, stencilled sleeve, this is a thrilling early-mid-70s dub album based around three cuts of the dreader than dread "Free For All" rhythm. The title track was recorded at Randy's, and was originally put out on The Heptones' Hepic label, featuring Family Man Barrrett on keyboards, complete with deejay cut "Meditation Dub" which sounds like Charlie Ace. There are dubs of Little Roy's "Tribal War" and "Black Bird". Stranger Cole's "My Application", later re-voiced by The Heptones, turns up as "Dis Ya Dub"; and if things weren't smoke-filled enough, "Roots" is the rhythm of KC White's "All For Free". Melvin 'Munchie' Jackson and Lloyd Barnes production work for the album began in Jamaica and finished at the Sounds Unlimited studio in New York.

      John Clarke

      Visions Of John Clarke

        John Clarke - not to be confused with Johnny Clark - had been running with the Wackies operation for six years, ever since moving from Jamaica to New York. He'd cut memorable sevens with co-founder Munchie Jackson for the Tafari label, and with Lloyd Barnes for such Bullwackies imprints as Versatile and Wackies. "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 and the album attracted the interest of no less than Studio 1 boss Coxsone Dodd, whose bid for distribution-rights was thwarted when the Brooklyn label Makossa quickly put in for a full licence. Out soon afterwards, the new version - entitled "Rootsy Reggae" - duplicated five tracks, but with markedly different mixes, fresh edits, and sometimes new instrumentation.
