Does any one know if this release ( http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4946 ) actually exists?
It looks a bit dodgy to me.

considering how I got, I can say this album exists
the cover may be bogus, though ....

Hi Seb,

Good to see you. I read your message on the spam thread. I will await your message.
Now are you saying you have this particular release? Is it with the same cover? If so, could you make me a proper scan or photo?

Say hi to Mat for me.

Yes I have it . absolutely fantastic comp worth it for the Andrew mccalla tracks alone.

And Andre Records is just some of labels created and funded by Munchie!!

Now it's time to go back in History to get a blast from the past that will
transport you to where it all began. Meet the Producer.. Are you ready???
Produced By Melvin "MUNCHIE" Jackson

I bought it when it first came out from Ernie B's - a legitimate release - although not many pressed.

The cover is the correct one. The back sleeve seems to suggest its actually a picture of Munchie (unless its just a picture taken by him!)

The back sleeve also has pictures of the record labels "Sunshine" and "Andre Records". If I recall George Faiths "Guideline" which is included came out on a US Sunshine 12".

As you ask for the matrix numbers I assume this album came out on LP as well. RA is only listing a CD.
If so, what year the LP was issued? Same cover? Wackies label?

PS: Great idea to work on a Bullwackie discography!
