1LP Vinyl – ARKLP029

First issued in October 2013 by France’s Iroko on CD and LP, this roots gem is now getting a reissue on wax. Repressed by A-Lone Productions, it gives collectors and new listeners another chance to hold a piece of roots history in their hands.

The spotlight here is on the late Milton Henry, a name that serious reggae heads respect, even if his discography feels way too short. He’d already been working in the business since the mid-‘60s, voicing tunes like No Bread And Butter, This World, and Gipsy Woman. Strong records, yet somehow they never pushed him into the spotlight the way they should have. For many fans their main reference point is his debut album Who Do You Think I Am?. That powerful debut set was recorded in New York under the guidance of producer Lloyd “Bull Wackie” Barnes and released on the iconic Wackies imprint. It had that unmistakable Wackies sound. Deep basslines, haunting mixes, and that spiritual, late-night atmosphere Wackies was famous for.
