Bobby Sarkie - Over and over

Previously unreleased, mesmerising roots laments and digi-steppers unearthed from the Wackies archive for first time

Wackies Rhythm Force provide the wavey organ lead and molasses groove under Bobby Sarkie’s aching vocal in ‘Over and Over’ and its version, while Roland Alphonso’s ‘Rent Rebate’ is a balmy but haunting digidub ace licked up with his blue, bebopping soprano sax, and Jackie Mittoo vibes out on organ over Ras Menilik’s hand-drumming on ‘Mount Zion.’
