Greensleeves reissues

Post by ephraim »

I've really enjoyed the recent reissues of
the vintage greensleeves catalogue (Englishman,
Chip In, Hi-Yo Silver Away!, etc.)Anyone aware
of any more coming down the pipeline? 100weight
of Collie Weed, Muggers in the Street, or Water
Pumping perhaps?

I was disappointed with the Most Wanted Yellowman release, especially after the excellent Wailing Souls release.

What I would really like to see is a proper reissues of Operation Radication by Yellowman, originally on Greensleeves I think. There are some less than impressive versions around - Shanachie's One in a Million for example even though they've done a pretty good job reissuing/remastering Two sevens Clash recently. I just wish this seminal release could be treated in the way it deserves rather than the Most Wanted compilation that appears to have been thrown together e.g. 1978 -1984? For a start these dates are completely wrong. Cash in?

Anyone know why this album is so poorly treated?

And World at War by Scientist? Haven't heard of this one? Anyone know why Auralux are going for this one? Plenty of other good scientist needs reissuing so I hope this one is a goodie.

Hi Punxsta

I think it's a superb album, but quite sparce and, I've always thought, un-Scientist-like.

Incidentally, a copy sold for $165.16 via eBay on Tuesday, which, presumably gives an indication of how good it is. ;)

Thanks 6anbette. Will look forward to that now. I don't suppose you know the history to it? Producer, players etc.?
