Record buying advice: African Head Charge - In Pursuit of Shashamane Land

love that version of "Pursuit", very cool, thanks

What's this one like?

New York Breakdown, Tack>>Head Meets Melle Mel

I may have posted about this before on another On-U thread, but back in 2017 I emailed On-U through their Bandcamp page as follows:

Please - I'm begging you - put together a compilation of all the early Tackhead and Gary Clail 12" singles, B-sides and all.

1. Mind at the End of the Tether
2. Is There a Way Out
3. What's My Mission Now?
4. Now What?
5. Hard Left
6. Hard Left (Instrumental)
7. Reality
8. Life & Dreams
9. Ticking Time Bomb
10. Ticking Time Bomb Dub
11. Body to Burn
12. Half Cut for Confidence
13. Half a Gram a Shout

Thanks!

The response was:

This would be a beautiful thing. Getting all the members to agree is another matter tho - this will happen one day is all I can say at the moment.

cheers

i agree unperson, that would be a thing of perfection.

stirmonster : its a very live sounding cut, so relatively lo-fi for Tack>>Head, but hey ...

not sure why i didn't just look on youtube actually. thanks!

you should also check your email.

the new album is so much better than i expected.
adrian has released several albums in recent times that focus on vocals : LSP, Horace Andy, and Jeb
so it's great to hear new material where he can stretch things out a bit.
yeah, it's not quite as out there as some of the early AHC albums, but hey.
oh, and the coverart is off the scale.
love it.

I recently got the two AHC boxes and i’m loving them, tremendous music. Allmusic tells me that they have two albums, not included in this set that were not on-u sound. Were these made without Sherwood? Any good?

If I have both the boxes and the new album, am I missing anything of consequence?
