WACKIES SELECTIVE SHOWCASE VOL.1 – WACKIE’S 1980

Deep cut. Wackies Selective Showcase Vol. 1 lands like a real Bronx-era snapshot, with Bullwackie’s crew lining up Horace Andy, Wayne Jarrett, Leroy Sibbles and others over that patient, heavy Wackies sound. It feels less like a tidy compilation and more like a set of voices finding the same riddim from different angles, with Horace Andy’s “Serious Thing” and Wayne Jarrett’s “Darling Your Eyes” pointing straight at the label’s sweet spot: mellow, dubwise, and a little haunted. The 1980 date fits the mood too, right in that period when Wackies was shaping its own cross-Caribbean language in New York, one tune at a time, with “March Down B” and “Mystic Revella” tucked in like small rewards.
