The Chosen Brothers - Sing & Shout [Reissue] (1985/2018)

Some high-grade roots weight from the inimitable Wackies here. Originally issued in 1985 - though some cuts date to several years earlier - Sing & Shout is the debut LP from Lloyd ‘Bullwackie’ Barnes’ Chosen Brothers. An all-star cast that includes Junior Delahaye, Jackie Mittoo and Prince Douglas craft some mighty tunes here. Cuts like the title track and ‘I Gave You Love’ balance the pop nous of Alton Ellis with ground shaking basslines, while opener ‘March Down Babylon’ has taken on classic status over the years. This reissue is notable for including the 12” mixes of album highlights ‘Dancing In The Rain’ and ‘All Things’.
