Hey, I'm looking at a couple of Wackies Dancehall Collections, but I can't find them listed on RA, and according to Popsike they haven't shown up on eBay in years. The only mention I can find is of Volume 1 on this Wackies discography, which says Volume 1 is from 1987: http://www.jahtari.org/magazine/reggae- ... graphy.htm

Does anyone have Volume 1 or 2? What are they like?

Are you looking for LP's or 12 7 or cd. You can grab some of them on http://www.ebreggae.com there are some wackies there you can pick up. Hope that helps. Respect

Sorry, I should have been clearer... I'm talking specifically about these Wackies albums:

I haven't heard either of them, and would like to know how they sound.

Wow! Never heard of those albums. Sorry brother can't help you with those.

they are probably released under the Japanese Tachyon label..

I also know know some wackies stuff was only released in Japan (tokyo reggae clash & Horace Andy sings Bob Marley for example.. )

I've seen these albums a couple of times on ebay though:
