Wackies Wackies
Founded in the 1970's in New York by Lloyd Barnes, a.k.a. Wackie or Bullwackie, Wackies is considered by some to be the first significant reggae studio and label in the United States. Besides releasing popular Jamaican reggae artists such as Horace Andy or Sugar Minott Lloyd Barnes also developed a number of New York-based artists such as Jah Batta and Junior Delahaye, whose releases primarily appeared on the Wackies label. The Wackies label is now included in the Basic Channel family, which rereleases many of the highly sought-after and collectable records.

Recorded at the turn of the 70s, 'Dance Hall Style' is a landmark release in Horace Andy's career. Including classics like 'Spying Glass', which was later covered by Massive Attack, reworks of Bunny Lee songs and his take on the mighty Cuss Cuss riddim this album begs to be played over and over again.
