On its original release in 1981, Clive Field Marshall’s Poor House Rockers album sold out so quickly that Wackies was unable to supply his customary distributors outside New York; and it has been high on Wackies-collectors’ lists ever since. The rhythms nod again to The Heptones at Studio One and Bob Marley. Others are voiced elsewhere in the Wackies catalogue by Barrington Spence, Junior Delahaye and the Love Joys; some had appeared on the ‘Presenting Prince Douglas’ set the previous year. Clive himself is compelling, witty and ebullient in the dancehall style pioneered by Lone Ranger, ranging over subjects including Jamaican tourism and landlordism, Carter and Reagan, banks and bulldogs, and — outstandingly, on Delahaye’s ineffable but unissued ‘Acting So Strange’ — the in-thing beaver hat and sheepskin coat.
