Short and sweet today...With the evil visage of my all-time favorite Dracula, Christopher Lee greeting us, we move along to the fourth track in our mix...
"When The Vampire (Come To Your Neighborhood)" by the man called Moses, is from a 12" on the legendary New York based Wackies label, circa 1980. I have tried to do some background research on who the artist Moses was/is and have come up with nothing... I have seen this record incorrectly credited to Pablo Moses but it definitely ain't Pablo Moses. And since I can't correctly identify or give you background information on the artist I'll give you a little history about Wackies itself...
Wackies House of Music, a combination record store and production studio was founded in New York during the heyday of reggae during the 1970s by Lloyd Barnes who still runs the business to this day. Wackies is considered by many to be the first significant reggae label to be founded in the United States and many also give it credit for paying a roll in the burgeoning genre of hip-hop in the early 1980s.
