The Ballistic Brothers - Peckings / Come On

Three very different tracks on this Junior Boys Own 12" from 1995.

On A1, the Ballistic Brothers get a right skank on with the sublime Peckings, nearly 3 minutes of rasta/reggae which is a tribute to the London record shop of the same name (142 Askew Road, Shepherds Bush, W12, fact fans).

A2 sees Wax Doctor using his family name for once, and I'll hand you over to Alain Patrick's review on Discogs for this one: "The 'Simon Templar Mix' for Ballistic Brothers - Come On belongs to the talented Wax Doctor, an artist rather committed to a more sophisticated form of art. With harmonic Jazzy Sax incursions and warm chords, this version is fully atmospheric and dub influenced, perfect for the intense listeners (just take a look at the part of the vocal echoes with the intensiveness of the chords & strings). A piece of art!"

Luke Slater delivers an outstanding techno track on the flip, unrecognisable from Wax Doctor's take on the A-side which is up there with any Planetary Assault Systems stuff which he was knocking out at the time.

Something for everyone then I reckon...
