Milton Henry/Jerry Johnson - Them a Devil / Make It Right ('24 mix)/Make It Nice 12" (Wackie's)
DKR-316
A-side previously unreleased single mix w/ dub. B-side previously unreleased 2024 re-mix with instrumental cut. Comes in Wackie's company sleeve.
The late great Milton Henry was a stalwart of Wackie's studio in the early '80s, and his album "Who Do You Think I Am?" remains one of the jewels in the Wackie's canon. We've been overdue to issue a single from Milton in our Wackie's program, so here goes. The A-side features one of the best tracks from the album, in its previously unreleased single mix, matched with its unreleased dub cut. The B-side features a new 2024 remix of "Make It Right", a mid '80s tune we recently featured on our "Digital Dawn" compilation. Mr. Barnes is still hard at work in the Bronx producing, editing and mixing, and after revisiting this song in 2024, he liked it so much he had to touch it again. This new mix features a great horn part from Wackie's mainstay Jerry Johnson, who takes center stage on the instrumental/dub mix that follows the vocal.
