Two landmark Little Axe albums are finally getting their vinyl debuts. These two blues-rooted projects of Skip McDonald (a key architect of the On-U Sound catalogue and founding member of both The Sugarhill Gang and Tackhead), has been given the Adrian Sherwood treatment. With fresh mixes from Sherwood and praised as “beautiful, gently funky, and deeply, deeply sad.” (All Music) both reissues bring McDonald’s melding of blues, dub, and soul to vinyl for the first time. - Flying Out
“An album that is beautiful, gently funky, and deeply, deeply sad -- against all odds, McDonald has taken musical elements that have little in common with the blues and used them to draw out the blues' deepest essence. There is not a single weak track on this album. It's an unusually moving and haunting document from one of the unsung heroes of American (and, oddly enough, Jamaican) roots music.” Rick Anderson, All Music
Edited for vinyl by Adrian Sherwood. Re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery. Contains printed inner sleeve. Designed by Chris Bigg of v23.
