Aires - Bullwackies

[Roots Archives]

My question should have been more specific I guess.
I wanted to know if it is fair to say that all Aires releases have some kind of Wackies connection.

I think from what I have read most releases do have such a connection (produced by/distributed by), except a few.

Reading the above postings again I realise that you was already talking about two different labels. I don't know about Aries and I thought you meant an UK Aires version.

Lol allot of miscommunication because I wrote also Aries and not Aires earlier on.

But I think your right Iam also not aware of an UK Aires. Only in the 90 there were some wackies LP's re-released in the UK. Before the German basicchannel releases.

Thanks for the youtube link Siegi, fantastic tune. Wish this kind of stuff was reissued.

No problem j j yes all collectors should reissue zsome of their tunes. may be I do that in the future but I donnot have the rights that is what is holding me back.

Yes, I think it's safe to say that all Aires releases are somehow linked to Lloyd Barnes as he seems to be kind of founder/owner/mastermind of the Aires label. As Siegi already said that does not mean Barnes was involved in the recording or producing process.

By the way I can't await the first visible results of your discography. The LP History is not too difficult, I guess. At least all existing records, even the more obscure labels, should be known. I think I have them all up to 1982 or so. But a huge goal are the 45s. I had or may still have labels I never seen otherwise. But ok, I'm not a 45 expert.

Concerning the Aires LP's I would see there are two but Iam not certain, in my back of my mind something tells me that isnt correct

Trust yourself and don't listen to the back of your mind in this case. There were only 2 LPs on AIRES.

i am thinking of listing other US, CA and even some UK labels as well, like Summer Records, CC, Wimpex and Rockers. Some releases on said labels have such a similarity to the Wackies sound, it makes one wonder what the connection is, if any.

Other recordings like Wiss' "Equal Rights" on his Mr Sunshine album sound a lot like Wackies as well. In this case, I think the song was recorded at HC&F Studios, another New York studio.
