The Slackers took a bit of a dive into the
proverbial vault for this one, and the
Pirates couldn’t help but see the need for a
limited 7” to help celebrate how cool this
find was!
Sic n Mad are Ara, Marcus and Vic from the
Slackers - it's the origin of the Slackers,
where Marcus and Vic met. Happy, the
singer, is even the reason Dave Hillyard
found his way to the band! This session
also featured their housemate at the time,
Sammy K (when he was in The Forthrights)!
All in all, a true slice of Slackers history!
Vic Ruggerio also explains how the
collaboration with Papa B came around…
“I recorded this on a Japanese tour with
The Slackers a few years back at the Mighty
Crown Studio. Papa B is a friend of Happy
(the singer from Sic n Mad, who lived in
Japan for a decade) and he brought Papa B
to the shows... (since then Papa B has
become a reggae star with international
reggae Mighty Crown Sound System). As
mutual fans it seemed obvious to try to do
a song.”
The results speak for themselves. This
release is a special one, a celebration and
dive into history if you will - and given that
it’s being kept VERY limited, the vinyl too
should remain special for anyone lucky
enough to get their hands on a copy!
