Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - Ticklah Remix "How Long Do I Have To Wait For You" (Reggae Version) b/w "How Long Do I Have To Dub For You" (Dub Version)
This reggae version of a Dap-Kings' favorite is really TERRIFIC! Reggae mastermind TICKLAH (AKA Victor Axelrod, AKA Earl Maxton) has re-cast Sharon's vocals to the beat of his own drum, and it feels So Right!
He's taken the original raw tracks from the Dap-Kings' "Naturally" sessions down to his basement laboratory and put some of his Classic-Reggae-Evil-Genius shit all over it. Oh, he played it all on this one: drums, bass, echo-plex. He's got his hooks hitched, his pockets stitched, his mind switched, and this mix is fixed! It's RAW. It's HEAVY. It's RIGHT NOW. So spark that doobie and put your red, black, and green beanie on your turntable, cause this record is going On Your Head!

Are you in the mood for a fantastic record?
Well take off everything you're wearing and try this on. As the title track of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' latest smash long-player, the stirring Rhythm & Blues of "100 Days, 100 Nights" will be familiar to you. However, in order to satiate the appetites of 7" DJ's and jukebox owners worldwide who have been clammering to have their favorite song on their favorite format, we've cut it as a single. But that's not all. Flip your pancakes for a HOT NEW EXCLUSIVE. Settling In is a bluesy mid-tempo groover from the "100 Days, 100 Nights" recording sessions rearing its soulful head for the first time in ANY format.
Remember: There's nothing better than a good time.
