New pressings of DKR's very first two Wackie's releases from over a decade ago, first released in February 2013. Back then, these Joe Axumite & Wayne Jarrett 45's were remastered from original vinyl copies, as the tapes were MIA. In the years since DKR have been hard at work sourcing master tapes all over the place, including ones long thought lost or left behind. The tape for these singles was acquired a couple years ago, and since they've been out of press for a while, it seemed only right to remaster them now straight off the original tapes for optimum quality. The Joe Axumite 45 is a defiant polemic against mere reform in a corrupt system, with a brilliant echo overdosed mix that perfectly encapsulates Wackie's late '70s sound. Likewise the Wayne Jarrett is equally canonical Wackie's, a killer vocal on one of the best original rhythms from the studio, back with a killer Jerry Johnson horns dub.
